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
Chapter 263 I’m In The Same Group As Aunt
Rosalie took three saplings, figuring she would also plant a tree with the boys.The two boys took this event quite seriously. When they woke up early that morning, they were very excited as if they were going to participate in some major competition.Therefore, Rosalie did not want to disappoint them.After retrieving the saplings, the three of them began digging pits for the saplings under the guidance of the staff member.The two boys gave it their all.For today's event, Rosalie had intentionally changed to similar sportswear as the twins. Hence, she was currently having a relatively easy time moving around.Working together, the three of them finished digging the first pit in no time.Just as they were about to start on the next pit, a soft childlike voice suddenly sounded in their ears."Aunt!" Estie stood beside Rosalie excitedly.Hearing this, Rosalie paused her movements and looked at the little girl beside her in surprise. "Estie, why are you here?"If she remembere
Chapter 264 I Thought You Were All A Family
Byron frowned. No matter which way he used it, he just could not figure out how to properly utilize this thing in his hands.Just as he was starting to feel annoyed, he noticed that a pair of eyes were looking at him softly.He looked up, and his eyes met Rosalie's smiling ones.When their eyes met, Rosalie immediately withdrew her gaze, and her expression became neutral again.Seeing this, Byron frowned, but the annoyance in his heart dissipated. He turned his head to a staff member and said, "I'm not really used to using this thing. Could you please show me how to use it?"The staff member had been watching from the sidelines for a while now. Although the man looked tall and strong, his posture was as stiff as ever when using the shovel. The staff member had wanted to tell him that he was doing it wrong, but the man gave off a somewhat distinguished vibe. When not talking, he exuded an aloof aura that made him difficult to approach. The staff member had tried speaking up several
Chapter 265 She Refused to Hug Her
As they talked, they were done planting the second tree sapling. Rosalie got up and took the third sapling. She then secured the sapling in the pit.A commotion was heard not very far away.“Miss Fuller, what are you doing here too?” Miss Leigh Ann was wandering around the kids. When she walked to the entrance, she saw someone walking toward her from afar and seemed a little shocked. Wendy was wearing an all-red dress. Her wavy curls were scattered across her chest. She had shades on and looked very noble. As she walked toward Miss Leigh Ann, she reached up to take off her shades and squinted her eyes to scan the crowd. “Byron said there’s a family activity here at the kindergarten today. I was worried about Estie, so I rushed here early in the morning. Where are they?” Miss Leigh Ann did not think much and pointed in Rosalie’s direction. “She’s there with Lucian and Nox. Estie had been getting along with them lately. She doesn’t even want to split from them when planting tre
Chapter 266 Silently Carried By Her
“Since Miss Fuller is here and Estie’s tree is already planted, you should bring them home, President Lawrence.” Rosalie did not want to gain any attention from the people here, so she indifferently interrupted Wendy’s words. Hearing this, Wendy stood up straight and looked at Byron with a smile on her face. Her purpose for coming here today was to not let Byron be together with Rosalie. Now that this woman suggested it, it was exactly what she was hoping for. Hearing what she had to say, the look in Byron’s eyes darkened. He frowned and glanced at her. “Miss Jacobs, you helped me and Estie plant the tree. I can’t just leave you guys here. There’s one more tree. Let’s plant it together.”Rosalie frowned a little, wanting to reject. Beside her, Estie timidly called out, “Aunt…”Hearing the little kid’s voice, Rosalie glanced back. Her heart ached a little when she saw the kid’s conflicted expression. Obviously, the kid was still traumatized by the last time Wendy laid her
Chapter 267 Was This Good For The Little Kid?
“What are you doing here?”Byron brought Wendy to the edge of the woods and asked with a blank expression.Hearing this, Wendy looked at the little one in her arms. “I was worried about Estie, so I came here to have a look. Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble.”After she spoke, Byron’s cold, hard voice sounded again. “Since you’ve checked and Estie is doing well, you can go back now.”Wendy’s expression froze. “Byron, I came all the way here. You can’t possibly not even have a meal with me or something, right…?”After saying this, she lowered her head in remorse and muttered, “I know that you’re still blaming me for the last time I laid my hands on Estie, but I swear I didn’t mean it. All these years, I’ve always treated her as my own child. How can I even bring myself to harm her? Besides, you’ve taught me a lesson for what happened the last time. Please just forgive me.”When she brought up the time she hit Estie, Byron’s expression got even colder. “I’m not the person y
