The air turbulence gradually stopped. However, Rosalie’s mind was completely blank. Rosalie finally returned to her senses when the plane landed. She still felt rather frightened when she thought about what had happened just now. “I told you that we’d land safely,” Byron’s deep voice rang out by her ear. “However, since we’ve already landed, shouldn’t you let go of me now, Miss Jacobs?” Rosalie was stunned. She was way too panicked just now. She had almost forgotten about Byron’s existence. Let go of him? What was he talking about? Just as she was feeling extremely dazed, something moved in her left hand. Rosalie lowered her head and glanced down. She noticed that their hands were intertwined at the connecting part of both their seats. More accurately, she was holding onto Byron’s hand tightly. Her fingerprints were on his hand. She was gripping onto his hand so forcefully that her hand felt rather stiff now. Therefore, she did not realize that she was ho
Rosalie remained seated on her seat for some time as she watched Byron leave the plane. After a while, she slowly got up. As soon as she stood up, a wave of dizziness washed over her. Her body seemed to be reacting to the shock that she experienced just now. Rosalie held onto the seat in front of her for support. After stabilizing herself, she cautiously got off the plane.She felt uncomfortable everywhere while walking down the plane. Her stomach cramped painfully as well. After entering the airport, Rosalie quickly walked in the direction of the washrooms.“Ugh!” A passerby grumbled impatiently when Rosalie bumped into him as he was walking with his luggage behind him. Rosalie resisted the discomfort that she felt and bowed at the man in a hurry to apologize to him. She then stood up straight, covered her mouth, and quickly ran to the washroom.Byron suddenly heard noises coming from behind him. He turned around instinctively and looked behind. He saw Rosalie running towa
Byron could tell that Rosalie was trying her best to keep herself on her feet at first glance. He reached out and tried to help her up when he noticed that she was about to fall down. Rosalie’s hand was on Byron’s arm. Both of them did not move after that. Rosalie held Byron’s arm stiffly when she realized that he had noticed she was struggling. She lowered her head and rested for a while before slowly getting up. She apologized to Byron nonchalantly, “I’m sorry. Just now… I didn’t manage to stand up straight.” After speaking, she tried to withdraw her arm. Byron’s gaze darkened when he sensed her intention. He reached out before she could and pressed onto the hand she had placed on his arm.Rosalie frowned slightly. “You’ve been feeling unwell since just now. You don’t need to act tough in front of me.” Byron frowned as he reached out to wrap his arm around her waist so that she could lean on him. His expression did not change at all. Rosalie instantly felt much
It seemed like Lucian and Nox had heard the noise outside. The moment the car stopped, the two children dragged Mary out with them as they ran out. Odd expressions appeared on their faces when they saw the car parked in the courtyard. This car… looked rather familiar. Rosalie felt a headache coming on when she noticed the gazes that the three of them cast at her.Just as she was hesitating about how she should explain things to them after getting down the car, Byron suddenly opened the car door.Rosalie immediately returned to her senses. She turned around and tried to open the door on her own so that she could get out of the car, but Byron had already walked over to her side. “We’ve arrived.” Byron tried reminding her of her situation and extended his arm to her. Rosalie gritted his teeth and tried to get out of the car from the other side. Byron lowered his voice as she spoke in her ear once again, “Miss Jacobs, you wouldn’t want your children to see you trip
Rosalie frowned and called out to Lucian when she saw him standing in front of Byron. “Lucian, let’s go back.”Lucian nodded obediently when he heard what Rosalie said. He then withdrew his gaze from Byron, turned around, and followed Rosalie back into the house. Mary helped her best friend into the house cautiously. Her gaze was filled with worry. “Did you really get airsick? You’ve never gotten airsick in the past.” They had known each other for many years, but this was the first time she had seen Rosalie so severely airsick.Rosalie thought about the children, who were next to her. She did not want to frighten them, so she nodded slightly and said, “I wasn’t feeling well today.”After hearing what she said, Mary did not ask any other questions. She simply helped her into the villa.Byron cast a dark gaze at their silhouettes from the villa's entrance. “Miss Jacobs, Mr. Lawrence is still outside.” Lisa was preparing dinner when she saw them walking into the villa. She g
Although Rosalie kept telling Mary that she was alright, Mary still felt extremely worried. She examined her body once thoroughly. Finally, she confirmed that Rosalie was only feeling like this due to the shock she experienced. She would recover after getting enough rest. Rosalie did not want the children to worry about her. She lay down in her room for a while, got up, and went downstairs. Lisa had just served dinner on the dining table and was about to go upstairs to ask Rosalie to come down for dinner when she saw her making her way downstairs. “How do you feel now? Can you eat all of this? If you don’t have the appetite, I’ll make some oats for you.” Lisa looked at Rosalie’s complexion in concern. Rosalie’s complexion has visibly improved after resting for a while. She shook her head at Lisa comfortingly and said, “I won’t trouble you. I don’t have much of an appetite, so I’ll just have some of the food here.” After speaking, she sat down by the dining table. Th
Meanwhile, Estie was laying on the coffee table while playing with Lego blocks when Byron returned to Lawrence Manor. Estie started taking a liking to Lucian’s and Nox’s hobbies after playing with them. She asked Byron to buy a lot of Lego sets for her. Byron bought a smaller Lego model for Estie since she would be building it alone. The model could be placed on the coffee table.Estie glanced at the entrance when she saw him walking into the manor. She then got up and rushed toward him without speaking. She simply stared at him while standing next to him.Byron could not help but think about Rosalie when he saw Estie. Rosalie only thought about Lucian and Nox when she was so frightened on the plane. Unbeknownst to her, Estie was her daughter as well… With this thought in mind, Byron reached out to caress Estie’s head pitifully. “Auntie,” Estie suddenly called out as she stared at him.Byron could not help but feel stunned. He frowned and met Estie’s gaze. He then s
The next morning, Rosalie felt much better after waking up. She recalled that she would be fetching the children to the kindergarten today. She got ready, opened the door, and headed downstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the children waiting for her by the door. Lucian and Nox remembered that their mommy would be fetching them to the kindergarten today. They woke up in excitement early in the morning and waited for Rosalie in front of her door. Initially, they wanted to knock on the door to wake their mommy up, but they recalled that their mommy was not feeling well. Therefore, they did not dare to disrupt their mommy when she was resting. They simply waited for her quietly in front of the door. The children’s gazes shone when they saw Rosalie coming out. “Mommy!” Rosalie caressed the children’s heads and said, “Come on. Go down to have your breakfast. After that, I’ll fetch you to the kindergarten.” The children nodded obediently and held her hand on e
