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
Along the way, Byron’s mind kept ruminating on Rosalie's heartless words.He thought that taking the little girl to see her would soften the woman’s heart, but he never expected her ruthlessness. He never thought Rosalie would say such a thing despite seeing the little girl being so worried about her.She asked him to not take the little girl to see her again in the future.That woman just did not want to see him.Byron’s mood was still foul and ugly as he entered the company. It was evident in his expression."Master," Luther greeted him respectfully and said, "President Quirke came over this morning and is waiting for you in your office."Byron retracted his thoughts, nodded, and walked into the office, followed by Luther.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Andrius sitting leisurely on the sofa with a document by his side.Seeing him enter the door, Andrius picked up the document, got up with a smile, sat on the chair opposite the desk, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Wh
"No wonder you asked me when Dr. Jacobs was going to S City two days ago! I thought you were urging me to complete my tasks, but I didn't expect it was your personal agenda!"As the realization hit him, Andrius mockingly looked at the person opposite him.Byron met his gaze noncommittally, his expression slightly darkening.His agenda was indeed personal, but the woman did not give a damn at all.Andrius raised his eyebrows again and asked, "Which means you must have gone to the dinner party that day. So how was it? Any progress in the relationship?" Andrius spoke only to see his friend’s expression get increasingly tense.Needless to say, he knew that the relationship between the two had not improved at all.Realizing this, Andrius was puzzled for a while.Byron was doing this to pursue her, so how could Rosalie be so indifferent?It was the first time he saw Byron put so much effort into a woman. If it were someone else, that person would have taken the initiative to throw
