Little Estie could not hear another word anymore. The little one only knew that Aunt would go abroad in the future, and she might never see her again. Her tears kept streaming down at that thought.The smile on Rosalie's face was also bitter as she touched the little girl's head. "This may be the last time we meet. Don’t cry, Estie. Will you smile for me?" The little girl cried and shook her head. "Aunt, don’t go..."Rosalie let Estie cry for a little while more in her arms. When she heard her cries become weak, she comforted her again. "You need to get better soon, okay? When you grow up, you can come visit me abroad. We can go have fun."Little Estie also seemed to understand that she could not get Aunt to stay. When she heard that she would be able to meet with Aunt again when she grew up, a little hope rose in her heart. She pitifully sought confirmation. "Really?"Rosalie nodded with a smile.The girl still did not believe her. "But when I grow up, Aunt don’t ‘member me."
The little girl fell silent again after hearing Rosalie’s reply.Rosalie opened the car door, carried the little girl down, and led her to the gate of the manor.When she released her hand to let the little girl go, Estie raised her eyes and looked at her seriously.Rosalie’s heart softened as she met her serious gaze and squatted down to look into her eyes. "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"Little Estie nodded slightly and said in her naive voice, "Aunt, don't hate Daddy."She did not know why Aunt hated Daddy so much. She even had to drive Daddy away every time they met.The little girl could sense that Daddy was good to Aunt, and Daddy liked Aunt, so she did not want Aunt to hate Daddy.Rosalie thought that they probably would not see each other anymore, so she just nodded at the little girl.The girl hugged her reluctantly again before turning around and entering the gate of the manor.Rosalie did not dare to go in, for fear of being discovered by Byron and t
At the Lawrence family’s manor.After receiving the call from Mrs. Zora, Byron immediately put down his work, rushed back from the company, and called Dr. Lucas Montgomery on the way.Since her disappearance that time, Estie's mental state had been very unstable. He must pay her special attention.Seeing the two of them enter the door, Mrs. Zora hurriedly greeted them."Where's Estie?" Byron frowned and glanced at the living room but did not see the little girl.Mrs. Zora pointed upstairs. "She went upstairs by herself after she came back. It seems that she’s in a very bad mood. No matter what I say, she just ignores me. I could only ask you to come home."Hearing this, Byron nodded lightly and led Lucas upstairs.The little girl's door was locked tight, and there was no movement inside.Byron's heart sank as he knocked on the door lightly. "Estie, darling, Daddy’s back. Can you open the door and let me in?"After a long while, there was still no movement inside. There was no
After Dr. Lucas confirmed that Estie had no abnormalities, he did not stay too long and left before dinner.Byron sat in the study for a while. He took out his mobile phone and called Miss Leigh Ann.This morning, he had sent Estie to the kindergarten. Even if the little one had been left alone, she must have left from the kindergarten.Miss Leigh Ann should know what had happened during this period.On the other line, as soon as the teacher received the call, she was very nervous and came clean about everything that happened."...After I dropped Estie off, I left. Miss Jacobs said that she would send Estie back. Hasn’t she sent Estie back?"Thinking of this, Miss Leigh Ann was full of regrets.Without President Lawrence’s consent, she took Estie to Lucian and Nox's house without permission and then left the little one there.Either way, that was extremely irresponsible of her.It would be fine that President Lawrence did not know about it, but now that he knew that Estie went
Estie saw that Daddy did not respond, so she pushed her small plate in front of him again, her face full of urgency.Seeing the little girl's gestures, Byron came back to his senses and lifted his fork to take green vegetables for her.Estie lowered her head and ate with gusto. Her appetite was greater than before.When the little one had finished her meal, she wiped her mouth and was prepared to go upstairs. Byron quickly called out to her."Estie, darling."Estie stopped obediently and looked back at his father in confusion.Byron’s eyes met the little one's gaze in a complicated way, but he could not help it. "Did you go to Auntie Rosalie’s house today?"As soon as he said that, the little girl pursed her mouth and lowered her eyes silently. She was not prepared to tell him the truth.Byron got up and walked to her side. He hugged the little one and sat down on the sofa. "I called Miss Leigh Ann, and Miss Leigh Ann told me."Estie frowned unhappily. "I hate Missi Ann!"Mis
Estie looked at her daddy.She could feel Aunt and the brothers’ resistance toward Daddy.However, in the eyes of the child, their attitude was because of Daddy.She told Daddy so bluntly in hopes that Daddy would reflect on himself and be nicer to Aunt and the brothers so that they could like him.In this way, perhaps Aunt will not leave.When she thought about Rosalie going abroad to settle in the future, the little one's eyes showed sadness again.Byron’s mood fluctuated because of the little one's words just now.He had also heard these words from Rosalie before.Did the woman say that to the little one in person? Was that why Estie was so depressed when she came back in the afternoon?Byron sought further verification from the little girl. "Did Aunt Rosalie tell you this afternoon that she doesn't like me?"Estie shook her head.Byron breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the little girl just guessed the conclusion based on Rosalie's attitude toward him. He did not pu
Seeing that Daddy had not spoken, Estie's eyes gradually darkened. She lowered her gaze and stayed quiet for a while. Then, she raised her head and looked at Daddy very obediently. "Daddy, when Estie grow big, can I go and play with Aunt?"Hearing the little girl’s words, he was startled again.Estie was still a baby. How did she come up with such a long-term plan?These words must have been said by the woman to comfort the little one.Therefore, this woman really intended to go abroad. She already had plans laid out and would not contact Estie again after going abroad.Thinking of this, a trace of irony flashed across his eyes.If only the woman knew the baby she abandoned six years ago was Estie. Now, she was going to abandon her again. He wondered what the woman would think if she found out.Estie had already prepared herself mentally and looked at her daddy with a serious face. "Aunt say, when Estie grow up, find Aunt to play. So Estie will get well soon."This sentence und
After some consideration, Wendy fumbled to take out her phone and called Melody.Melody picked it up quickly. "Wendy, what's the matter?"Wendy's voice was full of unease. "Aunt, can you come over? My arm hurts so badly. I'm so scared... .."Melody immediately agreed. "You hang in there, darling. I’ll come over immediately."After speaking, she immediately got up, changed her clothes, and hurried out the door.After getting in the car, Melody remembered with hindsight that Byron should be by Wendy's side at this moment, but Wendy called her instead."Where's Byron? Is he not with you?" Melody asked in confusion.There was a bit of grievance in Wendy's voice. "I don't know. Maybe he’s working overtime. I don’t dare to call and disturb him at work. My parents aren’t answering their phones either, so I can only trouble you."Melody repeatedly reassured her. "It's okay. You got injured saving me, so I should take care of you. You wait in the hospital. I’ll be there soon."Wendy ag
