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
After hearing what Rosalie said, Byron frowned slightly and lowered his gaze to look at Estie.Estie lowered her head pitifully. She tightened her grip on his hand. Evidently, she was feeling anxious. Rosalie looked in the direction of his gaze and noticed the disappointed expression on Estie’s face. Her heart softened at once. In the past, Estie always looked overjoyed to see her. However, she seemed extremely cautious today. She did not dare to approach her as well.Rosalie guessed that it must be because she had tried to make Estie distance herself from her by telling her that she would be leaving the country soon.Lucian and Nox would always mention Estie after returning home nowadays. Estie must miss her a lot.With this thought in mind, Rosalie let out a silent sigh. She bent down to caress Estie’s head. She then comforted her gently, “I just don’t want you to worry. I’m fine. Look, I’m alright, aren’t I?” After sensing Rosalie’s soft palm on her head, Estie raised h
After having breakfast in a complicated mood, Rosalie took the little girl out of the dining room.As soon as she came out, she noticed the tense atmosphere in the living room.The two boys were kneeling on the sofa, their faces taut. They were almost staring at the man standing beside them as if the man had offended them.Seeing the look on the boys’ faces, Rosalie could not help but frown.She thought that the two boys' deep resistance to Byron was because of her.However, in retrospect, the boys did not have a good attitude toward the man as early as when they first met.Right now, she just wanted to keep a distance from Byron, but the boys seemed to have some hostility toward him.Rosalie could not figure out why.On the other hand, the boys saw Rosalie leading Estie out. They looked away from Byron and greeted them with a smile, "Mommy!"Rosalie put away her thoughts and smiled at the boys.The two boys looked at Estie enthusiastically again. "Is Estie going to school wi
Rosalie reached out to pick up the little girl's schoolbag, but Byron withdrew his hand with no expression, turned, and walked in front of them. "Let's go."Rosalie's hand fell empty as the little ones around her carefully tugged on her sleeves. She came back to her senses and led the kids to follow behind the man.Miss Leigh Ann was already waiting at the gate of the kindergarten.Seeing them coming together, the teacher smiled and greeted Rosalie. "Miss Jacobs, it's been a long time."During this time, either Nanny Lisa or the children’s godmother, Mary, came to send the two little boys. Rosalie has not been to the kindergarten for a while."Long time no see," Rosalie responded with a smile. "Lucian and Nox haven’t been causing any trouble for you in the class, right?"Miss Leigh Ann waved repeatedly. "Don’t you worry, they’re the most obedient children in the class."Hearing this, Rosalie felt relieved and handed the little boys over to the teacher.Little Estie held onto he
