“Alright, that’s all for now. Wendy and I haven’t eaten lunch yet, so why don’t you get someone to buy us something to eat?”Melody looked at her son and pointedly gave him orders. Byron understood the look on his mother’s face. She wanted him to leave so she could talk to Wendy in private. He obliged without calling her out on her intentions, leaving the room as she wished.Once the door closed behind him, Melody held Wendy’s hands meaningfully.Wendy was confused. “Is something the matter, Auntie?”She did not understand what Melody was doing, either.What did she want to say, and why did she have to send Byron away before she could say it?Could it be…? Had she realized that it was Wendy’s own plot to win her over?The thought made Wendy panic, and her smile began to fray at the seams.“Byron’s gone, so I’ll be frank with you.” Melody’s tone was a lot more relaxed than before.Wendy nodded obediently. “Please go ahead.”Melody said, “I’m sure you understand why I did wha
As though to make good on her earlier promise, Melody left as soon as she finished her lunch. "I'm a bit tired now too and I wanna get some rest back home. Byron will stay here and take care of you."She then turned around to look at Byron. "There isn't any work left to do at the office, right?"Byron nodded."Then I'll leave Wendy to you. Take care of her," Melody said. She also reminded Wendy to be careful with her injury, then she left. Since Melody had left, Magdalene and Henry did not stay for much longer. They wisely bid Wendy goodbye as well.Now, Byron and Wendy were the only ones left in the room.The atmosphere immediately became very awkward.Wendy dug her nails into her palms, feeling frustrated. Byron was distant to her before, but never to this extent. He did not spare her a glance even though she was injured. It was all because of that wench! She was the reason all of Wendy’s efforts over the years had gone to waste, the reason he was so cold to her now!A
Following Melody's orders, Byron practically spent the next few days in Wendy's hospital room after work.Melody visited Wendy every day as well. Rather than saying she was there to see how the patient was doing, it was more like she was making sure Byron was doing as he was told. "How's Byron been? Is he taking proper care of you?" Melody asked Wendy with a smile one day while Byron was still at work. Wendy lowered her gaze shyly. "Yeah, he’s been good to me."Melody finally felt relieved. She comforted Wendy, saying, "See, I told you. Byron isn't heartless. You've known each other for so long, and he'll see you for who you are eventually."Wendy smiled at her, but inside she felt nothing but irony. It was true that Byron had been nicer to her lately, but it was probably because of what she had said that day. She had said she hoped they could stay friends.As a result, he was treating her like a normal friend, and not a step more than that. The problem was, she wanted thei
Rosalie had no idea that her illness had left such a deep impression on the boys. For a moment, she was lost for words.Now that she thought about it, she had been the one raising the boys since they were born. She was a superhero to them, taking care of them and making sure they were safe.They had never seen her fall so ill before. It was no wonder they were terrified. Rosalie was silent for a long time before she bent down to pat their heads. She could not describe how she felt right now. "Thank you for worrying about me, sweethearts. Since you're afraid I'll catch a cold, I'll just watch you from the shore. I won't join you in the water."The boys exchanged a look and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding obediently. Rosalie smiled, comforted by their concern. She then helped them pack their things and drove them to the aquatic center.She figured they would come again often, so she registered as a member at the counter.As expected of a pool in such an affluent n
“We’re in public right now. My children are over there, and I’m not interested in you either. Please refrain from doing anything inappropriate and leave at once.”After Rosalie calmed down, she looked at the man before her expressionlessly. Although she was seated and looking up at him while she spoke, she exuded a strong and menacing aura. The man was shocked by her threats. He came to his senses after a few seconds. He behaved rather cautiously, but he still could not bring himself to disregard the temptation before his eyes. He said in a devious tone, “Alright, I won’t say anything else. Just give me your phone number. Let’s chat in private.”Rosalie stared at the person before her in disgust and said, “If you don’t leave, I’ll ask the staff to come over and kick you out!” The man looked around him and noticed that there were some staff members standing in the distance. He then tried to snatch Rosalie’s phone. However, a small hand snatched the phone over before he coul
The children swam for almost two hours. After they came out of the pool, Rosalie brought them to have lunch. On the way over to the restaurant, Rosalie still could not forget the words that Lucian had said to the man just now. Rosalie stared at the children through the rearview mirror for some time. Finally, she could not resist asking, “Lucian, why did you say that just now? Why would tell him that Mr. Byron is your daddy?” Just now, she was afraid that the children’s mood to play would be affected if she asked Lucian about it. Therefore, she restrained herself from asking any questions. However, she could no longer resist the urge to do so.After hearing what she said, Lucian glanced at her innocently and said, “That’s because Mr. Byron is more powerful!” Rosalie could not help but feel stunned. At this moment, she could not tell if Lucian was telling the truth or if was he lying to her. “Besides, I think that Mr. Byron would come over if you really called him,”
Rosalie brought Lucian and Nox to have lunch. She then bought two sets of clothes for them before bringing them home. Lisa had prepared dinner for them. Rosalie brought them to the dining table and made them sit down. Lisa asked them what they did today. Both the children told her everything. The atmosphere was rather joyous. They had just started eating for a while when Rosalie suddenly noticed that Nox was eating exceptionally slowly today. “Nox, what’s wrong? Did you have too much during lunch today? Is that why you can’t eat anymore?” After hearing what Rosalie said, Lisa and Lucian looked at Nox. Nox was clutching at his stomach with one of his hands under the table, and he was using his other hand to eat slowly. His face was pale. He looked rather uncomfortable.Lucian was extremely worried when he noticed his younger brother in such a condition. “Mommy, it looks like Nox isn’t feeling well.” Rosalie put down her utensils, got up, and walked over to Nox.
At the same time, Wendy received a call from one of her subordinates.“President Fuller, we saw Rosalie driving toward the hospital.” Wendy glanced at the man sitting outside and lowered her voice. “Which hospital is it?” Her subordinate replied, “She should be heading to Carlton Hospital.”Carlton Hospital was the top private hospital in Coast City. Wendy was there right now as well. A glint flashed across Wendy’s gaze when she heard that Rosalie was coming to Carlton Hospital. “How long more will it take for her to arrive?” “Approximately five minutes.” Wendy hummed and said, “I got it. Continue following her. Call me when she arrives at the entrance of the hospital.” Her subordinate agreed. After hanging up the call, Wendy placed her phone by the side and glanced cautiously at the man standing by the door. When she noticed that he was not paying any attention to her, she looked at the cup of water on the table. She then got up and reached out for the cup.
