As they chatted, the car was already at the entrance of the restaurant.Leon parked the car. The two entered the restaurant together and sat by the window.Leon had already made an appointment early in the morning. Not long after they sat down, the dishes were ready.The two talked about the Lancer family’s free clinic as they ate."The news of the Lancer family’s free clinic was only spread to certain parties. How did you find out?" Leon asked.Rosalie had nothing to hide. "I had no idea as I was already planning to go abroad. Then two days ago, I went to Old Master Quirke’s house to thank him. The old master suddenly mentioned this to me, so I decided to stay in the country for a while more."Leon frowned slightly. "Go abroad?"Rosalie smiled noncommittally. "Well, you saw how the institute was targeted by the Lawrence family because of me. If I stay in the country, it might affect the research institute. Hence, it’s better for me to just go abroad. I can't afford to offend La
As soon as Rosalie walked into the entrance of the research institute, she saw Yves standing at the entrance.The man was lost in his thoughts as he leaned against the wall staring blankly. He did not even see her coming in.Rosalie went over and called out to him curiously, "Dr. Graham, what’s on your mind?" Yves jolted slightly. It was obvious that he was startled. His eyebrows twitched, then he came back to his senses and straightened up to face her. "You guys finished chatting so soon?"Rosalie smiled and nodded. "Leon also plans to participate in the Lancer family’s free clinic in two days. We had a brief chat and agreed to go together."Yves' eyes flashed with loneliness when he heard that.When he saw Rosalie and Leon standing side by side that noon, Yves lost his appetite during lunch, so he simply took two bites before driving back and waiting for Rosalie at the door.As he waited for her, he unconsciously thought of the gap between himself and Rosalie.Now that he kn
Rosalie hung up the phone, hesitated for a while, then drove toward the kindergarten.The kindergarten ended at five o'clock in the afternoon.Under the guidance of the teachers in each class, the little children came out of their classrooms in neat order, waiting for their parents to pick them up.Lucian and Nox stood at the end of the line with Estie, and when they saw Estie looking at the crowd expectantly, the brothers looked at each other with distress on their faces."Look at me, Estie. I can make a bird appear!" Nox tried his best to attract the little girl's attention by making a bird-like shadow with his fingers while waving them in front of Estie.Estie just glanced absently before looking at the crowd again as if searching for someone.Maybe it was just her illusion. Even so, Estie always felt like Auntie was looking at her somewhere, but it was just that she could not find her.The two little boys were not disappointed even though Estie did not look at them. They sti
Fortunately, the little boys did not feel sad for long.They knew that if they were sad, Mommy would be in a bad mood too.The little boys just felt momentary regret for Estie, then they put smiles on their faces again and stretched out their hands toward Rosalie.Rosalie put away her thoughts, smiled, and carried the boys into the car one by one. Nanny Lisa sat with them in the backseat."Mommy, why didn’t you tell us that you were coming to pick us up?" Nox asked cautiously.Rosalie started the car slowly, and when she heard this, she thought of her sneaky act just now. She felt a little guilty. "Erm… I just made a sudden decision."The little one was puzzled. He tilted his head. "But aren't you busy with work today?""Work ended early today, so I suddenly wanted to pick you up." Rosalie tried her best to sound convincing.Lucian's child-like voice sounded in the backseat. "Mommy is lying."Rosalie was stunned.Nox also looked at his brother in confusion, wondering why he s
The boys thought they guessed it right, so they were not upset anymore. Instead, they comforted Rosalie. "If you don’t want to see Uncle Byron, then don’t. We’ll take good care of Estie!"Daddy was so ruthless that he abandoned them and Mommy. They did not want to see Daddy either!Rosalie smiled with relief. "Mommy saw you doing just that."Hearing this, the boys began to take credit with excitement.The car became lively again.Rosalie also relaxed a lot. No matter what the little ones said to her, she responded to every question patiently.When they got back, Rosalie even cooked with Nanny Lisa and whipped up a sumptuous dinner for the little ones.After dinner, Rosalie played with the boys for a while. When they fell asleep, she got up and went back to her room.Rosalie felt a little confused as she thought of Estie in the evening.The last time the little girl came to see her, she was very happy in front of her.However, today, the little girl's mood was indeed visibly d
The next day, there was not much work in the research institute. After lunch, Rosalie briefly dealt with the remaining work and brought some nutritional products developed by the research institute to the Quirke family’s home.Andrius was already waiting for her in the living room.Seeing that Andrius was alone in the living room, Rosalie asked in confusion, "Where's Old Master Quirke?"Andrius pointed upstairs. "He is taking a nap upstairs at the moment. We didn’t expect you to come so early.”Rosalie nodded in comprehension and lowered her voice subconsciously. "The research institute just happened to be less busy today. Old Master Quirke has helped me so much during this time. I thought of giving him a thorough check-up again."Andrius nodded. "Sure, just wait for him to wake up. Let's sit downstairs for a while."Rosalie did not think too much about it. She put down the nutritional supplements and sat down on the single sofa next to Andrius as they chatted about the old man's
At that moment, the atmosphere in the living room was rigid.Andrius had a headache when he saw that neither of them wanted to speak. He tried so hard to get them to meet, but nothing seemed to work at all.He did not know why Byron even agreed to come.No matter what, Andrius still had to bite the bullet and liven up the atmosphere."The Lancer family’s free clinic should be held this weekend. I wonder how are your preparations, Dr. Jacobs?"Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "I’ve prepared everything I can possibly think of. If there are no accidents, even if it won’t be perfect, it shouldn’t go wrong.” Andrius glanced at the man beside him, hoping he would say something.However, Byron did not seem to hear it. He just sat there, expressionless.Seeing this, Andrius sighed inwardly. He could not understand why he came here today.Withdrawing his gaze from Byron, Andrius turned his head to look at Rosalie nonchalantly. He said in a serious tone, "Dr. Jacobs, don’t worry too
Byron watched the woman laugh in glee, his expression becoming increasingly tense. He could not help but ask, "So, you have a good relationship with Young Master Leon, Dr. Jacobs?"Rosalie and Andrius were both stunned when he suddenly spoke.Andrius was keenly aware of the tension in the air and silently kept his mouth shut. He tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.Rosalie was momentarily stunned, then she looked at the man indifferently. "I’ve known my senior for a long time. Leon has always taken care of me, so I’m also very grateful to him."Byron’s lips tightened as he retorted, "Really? Have you known him longer than we have known each other?"Rosalie's heart tightened suddenly, and he glanced at Andrius beside her.Byron's statement was almost equivalent to telling Andrius about their past relationship.Andrius sat there with an unchanging expression as if he had not heard Byron’s words.Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief, then she frowned and looked at the ma
