Chapter 255 Staying With Aunt
At this point, there was no other solution. Byron nodded and complied.Miss Leigh Ann called the parents together and asked who would be able to accommodate Byron.Estie grabbed her daddy's hand and immediately looked at Rosalie after hearing the teacher's words.She wanted to stay with the beautiful aunt.With Byron's status put out there and his unworldly attractiveness, a group of parents soon surrounded him, saying that Byron could stay with him.Even a few women came together with their children.Estie had not fully recovered from her autism yet. Being surrounded by a group of strange adults, her small face gradually turned pale.When Byron was not noticing, the little girl broke away from his hand and ran away. Rosalie just so happened to be standing outside the circle, waiting. Just then, the little girl bumped into her arms and looked at her with eager eyes."What happened, Estie?" Seeing the little girl's face, Rosalie could not help feeling worried.Estie grabbed h
Chapter 256 Soft-Hearted
After arranging the accommodation, it was already evening. Miss Leigh Ann brought the parents to the dining hall the botanical garden had prepared for everyone.Rosalie took the boys to go get their food. There were a lot of the employees of the botanical garden in the restaurant, far more than when they got off the bus just now. Estie did not like it very much. She followed Rosalie all the way, and her eyes never left her.Rosalie noticed the little girl's gaze and looked back, only to see her timid face. Heartache filled her own eyes. She simply had Lucian and Nox hold each other's hands while she held onto the little girl with one free hand.The little girl saw her. Estie reached her hand out to hold Rosalie’s, and without thinking, Rosalie stretched out her own hand to grab hold. Estie’s eyes turned into crescents when she smiled. The delight on her face erased the timidness from before.Byron was worried about the little girl and kept following her. Seeing Rosalie holding h
Chapter 257 You Should Be Honored
Rosalie had wanted to go back directly after dinner, but after coming out of the dining hall, the children saw the scenery outside and stopped walking.Rosalie looked up.They were on a mountain. The installations of the botanical garden were much simpler than that of the city, so there was not much lighting equipment.Only a full moon was hanging in the sky, and its light sprinkled onto them through the woods particularly softly. The plants in the botanical garden also looked very beautiful.Many parents had taken their children for a walk in the garden."Mommy, let's go and have a look!" Nox tugged Rosalie's hand.It was rare for Rosalie to have such free time. Coupled with the beautiful scenery, she also felt like going sightseeing. She turned around and said to Byron, "I'll take the children for a walk. President Lawrence, you can bring Estie back first."With that, she released Estie's hand and asked her to go look for Byron.Estie, on the other hand, would not let go. He
Chapter 258 Don’t Like Auntie
At the mention of Byron's marriage with Wendy, Rosalie lowered her gaze slightly. She swallowed the excuse in her mouth and answered faintly, "Thank you for reminding me. I’ll pay attention."The woman thought she had made her point. This way, she could butter up to Wendy when she became Mrs. Lawrence in the future. Thinking of this, the woman glanced at Rosalie condescendingly. "It's good if you know. How can you be worthy of President Lawrence?"The two had been talking for some time. Estie had waited very long yet did not see Aunt coming to get her. She looked out from behind the tree and saw a woman standing in front of Aunt fiercely. She thought she was bullying Aunt and ran out on her little legs hurriedly."Lady, don't bully Aunt!" The little girl hugged Rosalie's leg and glared at the woman opposite her with the childlike ferocity of a cat with its fur on end.Seeing the little girl who had suddenly appeared, the woman was stunned. She then quickly switched to a smiling e
Chapter 259 Simply Look
"President Lawrence..."Seeing who had arrived, the woman's anger diminished a lot. The smile on her face no longer felt hostile either.Byron nodded to her coldly. He strode to Rosalie and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"Rosalie glanced at the obviously guilty woman opposite her and thought of what she just said. In the end, she did not want to cause more trouble, so she calmly shook her head. "It's nothing. The lady came to say hello. Estelle doesn’t like strangers, so she just got scared."Hearing this, Byron looked at the person opposite him suspiciously. "Estie isn’t that timid.”The woman was flustered as she felt the pressure of Byron's imposition. She humbly bowed her head and explained, "I just wanted to touch the little lady because she looks cute. I didn't expect to scare her. I'm really sorry."Byron looked at the little girl in his arms again.Estie’s mouth trembled, but she said nothing. Her big eyes were just looking at Rosalie directly.Obviously, things
Chapter 260 Reminded Her Again
When they returned to their room, it was already later than nine o'clock at night.Lucian and Nox had sweated up a storm after running around playing hide and seek just now.After coming back, Rosalie immediately took them to go shower.The sound of Rosalie roughhousing with the two boys sounded from the bathroom from time to time.Estie sat on the bed, staring at the bathroom door with eyes full of envy.When she lived in Aunt’s house back then, she often bathed her. After Daddy took her back, it was Grandma Zora who had been bathing her.She still remembered how gentle Aunt had been when she bathed her. The shower gel she used also smelled so nice.Byron looked at the expectation on the little girl's face and felt complicated.No matter how one looked at it, this little girl was too dependent on Rosalie.Perhaps the bond between mother and daughter was too strong?Rosalie came out of the bathroom with the boys after a while. Their hair was wet, and they were still horsing a
Chapter 261 All Because Of That B*tch
The sound of a cell phone ringing was suddenly heard.The screen of Byron’s phone started blinking as it lay at the head of the bed.Rosalie inadvertently glanced at it. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, she lowered her gaze and looked away.The phone kept ringing for a few more moments before Byron turned around and picked it up.When he saw the caller ID, Byron reflexively glanced at Rosalie. He then walked to the window before answering the call. "Is something the matter?"On the other end, Wendy's voice sounded annoyed as she grumbled, "I heard that Estie’s kindergarten is holding a tree planting charity event. Are you going to take Estie to the event?""Yeah," Byron replied flatly. "Hasn't Estie always disliked crowds? She’s never participated in such activities before, so why are you bringing her for the event this time?" The expression on Wendy's face was gradually turning more and more dissatisfied.Byron could not be bothered to entertain her, so he tersely re
Chapter 262 Feeling Cranky
Early the next morning, the tree planting event began.Miss Leigh Ann waited for the parents and children to finish their meals, then led everyone to the event location.This time, the school was collaborating with the botanical garden, and the botanical garden had specially set aside an area of land for the children to plant their trees.A group of staff was already waiting for them at the site.Seeing the children’s tiny and adorable appearances made the staff members excited to work with them.Miss Leigh Ann introduced the staff members to the parents. Then, she divided the parents into groups and instructed them to follow the staff members to retrieve the saplings.Hearing that they were going to be grouped, Estie looked at Rosalie eagerly. She stood in place without moving even when the teacher called her name.With furrowed eyebrows, Byron followed Estie’s line of sight. His eyes landed on the woman standing not far away, then he frowned silently.Rosalie still had her mi
