"Sir?"Seeing his master and Rosalie coming over together, Luther subconsciously thought that Rosalie would be getting into their car. Unexpectedly, he saw her follow Andrius into his car instead while his master remained standing outside.After waiting for a moment, Luther cautiously urged.Byron frowned before bowing down and getting into the car.Luther slowly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.Meanwhile, in the car next door.Andrius asked Rosalie for her address and then instructed the driver to send Rosalie back first.The driver complied.When he tried starting the car, it would not come alive even after a long time. The result was the same even after several attempts. The driver said helplessly, "President Quirke, the car seems to be malfunctioning."Hearing this, Andrius glanced at Rosalie beside him imperceptibly. Her expression was slightly constrained. "It was fine when we came, why did it suddenly break down now?"The driver looked embarrassed. "
Rosalie would not tell him about her relationship with Byron of course.Aside from that, however, she really had no reason to refuse a ride from Byron.Rosalie agreed in the end after some deliberation. She slowed down and walked side by side Andrius.They saw Byron not far away at a glance when they arrived at the gate of the parking lot.The man was wearing a black trench coat and standing ramrod straight beside the car. He was looking in their direction and when he saw the person beside Andrius, his eyes seemed to darken a little."Why don't you wait in the car? It's so cold," Andrius greeted.Byron only replied, "Get in the car."His eyes swept across Rosalie after he said that. He then bowed and got into the car.Rosalie had already been prepared to hitch a ride with him, but for some reason, she felt a little daunted the moment she saw Byron.Right now, she was standing beside the car, unable to move.Seeing her hesitation, Andrius urged, "Dr. Jacobs, get in the car qui
There was dead silence in the car, and one could clearly sense that the atmosphere was completely different from when Andrius was there just now. It made one feel like a storm was coming.Rosalie was sitting practically ramrod straight. Her gaze was locked forward and she was trying very hard to forget about the person beside him.She did not know if it was her delusion, but it felt like the man’s gaze had landed on her substantively after Andrius got out of the car, causing her to tense up subconsciously.Suddenly, the man's magnetic voice rang in her ear."Miss Jacobs, did I offend you?"Hearing his voice all of a sudden, Rosalie let out a breath before replying in a distant manner, "Why did President Lawrence say that?"Byron looked at her with a deep gaze and his tone was filled with displeasure, "Why are you avoiding me like this if I haven’t?"Hearing this, Rosalie frowned slightly, pretending to be at a loss. "Since when have I been avoiding President Lawrence? Or to be p
"President Lawrence, please don't do this. We are but two strangers. I'd be very perplexed if you did this."Rosalie kept calm. She frowned at the person in front of her.After she said that, she saw Byron's lips part inexplicably.The man's cold voice rang through the car in the next second."A stranger? So, it turns out that Miss Jacobs would invite a stranger to dinner as she pleases and that she would also get into a stranger's car. Since Miss Jacobs thinks so, however, I don't mind getting well acquainted with you!"Rosalie was about to refuse him but when she looked up, she saw that the man was already in front of her.The man's large body was filled with an oppressive force in the narrow car which was practically rendering her breathless."What are you doing!" Rosalie looked at the person in front of her, alert.Byron replied leisurely, "I just want to introduce myself to Miss Jacobs properly."Rosalie coldly refused, "I don't want to hear it! I also don't think it's ne
Rosalie tried to calm herself down. She met Byron’s gaze indifferently and said gently, "Byron, the way you are now will only make me more unfamiliar with you."Byron had always been calm and self-sustaining in her memory, even a little indifferent.At least, that was how he was six years ago.She could not figure out the Byron now.Rosalie did not know if what she said had anything to do with it, but she felt the grip on her chin seem to be slowly easing off.She was practically holding her breath.After a while, the man frowned. He withdrew his hand and went back to his original position before looking at her with a complicated expression, "Just what do you want?"Hearing a question like that even before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Rosalie was baffled.She should be the one asking this.Her attitude was already very clear, what exactly did Byron want?"It's fine if you want to avoid me but to not even see Estelle? Rosalie, are you really so cruel?" Byron looked at h
"I suppose Young Master Quirke has already informed you what happened to my research institute this time. President Lawrence should also be aware of who the perpetrator is." Rosalie continued, "Even if I were to avoid you like this, Mrs. Lawrence has already come to misunderstand me. You've also seen it, Mrs. Lawrence just needed to wag her tongue and she threw this small research institute of mine into turmoil. I can’t even get a foothold in Coast City. At the end of the day, I came back to the country this time just for this research institute. I didn’t want to get involved in other troublesome matters but even so, they came looking for me. President Lawrence, I implore you to consider my situation.”These words pierced Byron’s heart straight to the bottom.He had tolerated Rosalie avoiding him for the same reason.He did not want Rosalie to get into unnecessary trouble because of himself.However, hearing this woman bring it up now with his own ears, Byron only felt strange d
When Byron returned to Lawrence Manor, it was already late at night.Estie had also gone to bed early.Recalling that the woman had not mentioned Estie at all just now, he could not help feeling his heart ache. He went upstairs into the little girl's room.Estie looked well-behaved when she slept. Her head was turned to one side and half of her face was buried in the blanket. She seemed to be sleeping soundly.Byron’s eyes softened when he saw the child. He raised his hand and caressed the little girl's head. He tucked the blanket around her and then got up and left.He suddenly heard the little girl whimper softly just as he got to the door.Byron stopped in his steps abruptly. He turned around and walked to the side of little girl’s bed. He carefully removed the blanket covering her face, only to see her face practically scrunched up. Her eyes were shut tightly and her long curved eyelashes were already covered with tears.He wondered what nightmare she was having.Seeing how
Seeing this, he frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.The little girl had not seen Rosalie recently. Why would she suddenly dream till she cried when she had not been dreaming before?"Lu and No said that auntie will take them abroad once she is done with the research institute."Estie thought of what the brothers said in kindergarten yesterday, her face was filled with disappointment.She thought beautiful auntie had just lied to her, and Lu and No also told her that they would not be leaving.Yesterday, however, they said that they would not be staying in the country for a long time...Moreover, she had not seen beautiful auntie ever since she told her that she would be going abroad.Thinking of this, the little girl could not help but want to cry. Hearing what the little girl said, Byron's expression slowly sank.Based on what the boys said, it seemed that this woman would already be abroad if this incident had not occurred!Estie tugged at the hem of her daddy's shirt and s
