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
Byron frowned and murmured, "I see. I'll try my best to restrain myself."Andrius sighed in relief, then turned and walked to Old Master Quirke's room. "Grandpa should be awake by now, so go in and see him. Since you haven't been here in so long, Grandpa will be very happy to see you."Byron followed after Andrius. "I’ve been really busy.""You say that, but you still had time to follow Dr. Jacobs to S City," Andrius teased.Just thinking about what had happened in S City brought a sour expression to Byron’s face. "I just happened to have a project that I had to deal with in S City."Andrius smiled knowingly but said nothing.The two walked to the door of Old Master Quirke's room. Andrius raised his hand and knocked on the door. After hearing Old Master Quirke's response from inside, he opened the door and walked in."Grandpa, Byron’s here to see you," Andrius said to Old Master Quirke with a smile. Byron respectfully greeted Old Master Quirke, "Hello, Old Man Quirke."Old M
Downstairs, Old Master Quirke spoke up again, this time with gentle persuasion, "You’re still young, so don't make your life revolve around your work. I heard that the kid from the Martin family will also be participating in the free clinic this time. If I remember correctly, the two of you seemed to get along well with each other during my last birthday party?"In other words, he wanted Rosalie to consider Leon as a potential partner.Hearing Old Master Quirke's words, Rosalie could not help feeling a little helpless.Old Master Quirke seemed to greatly concern himself with her marriage. First, he asked her to consider Andrius, then two days ago, he brought up the current representative of the Lancer family. Now, it was Leon. He was practically doing all he could to find someone for her. "That kid from the Martin family is also a doctor. I have to say, the two of you seem like you would be a good match." Old Master Quirke had pondered over this carefully, and he emphasized it wit
Seeing Rosalie leave just like that, Byron's eyes darkened, but he stood up as if nothing had happened. "Old Master Quirke, I suddenly remember that there’s still some unfinished business at the company. I’m at ease now that I know you’re recovering well. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave."Old Master Quirke frowned slightly. Did Byron not just tell him that he was free for these two days? Why did he suddenly have work to do?However, when he thought about how Byron was carrying the burden of the entire Lawrence family on his shoulders, it was somewhat understandable."I was going to ask you to stay for a meal, but since you have matters to attend to, I won't keep you any longer. The company is important, so go quickly." Old Master Quirke then urged earnestly, saying, "Remember to rest and don't overwork yourself. "Byron promised to do so, then got up and left.Seeing his friend's attitude, Andrius quickly got up and followed after him. "I'll send you off!"The tw
Byron ignored her question and just stared at her coldly. "How far has your relationship with him developed?"Upon hearing the question, Rosalie frowned sharply. She lowered her voice to a mutter. "Byron, you’d better stop your nonsense. There’s nothing between me and Leon. Even if there is, what does it have to do with you? What right do you have to ask me about my private affairs?"Byron tightened his grip, trying his best to suppress his anger.The tension in the air between them was so thick that one could slice through it with a knife. Just looking at this obstinate man in front of her made Rosalie feel a wave of exhaustion wash over her body."President Lawrence, please know your place." After a long pause, Rosalie lowered her gaze and coldly said, "I'm leaving, so would you be so kind as to let go of my arm?"The grip on her wrist slackened.Rosalie swiftly withdrew her hand, then looked up at the person before her. "I’m seriously just friends with Leon, so please don't
Hearing what Andrea said, Andrius glanced at the old master subconsciously. The old master’s face was filled with suspicion. Earlier, they had a good talk. Byron said something came up at the office and left in a hurry. Why did Andrea say he was angry?Looking at his granddaughter, it seemed like Byron was furious. Was it because of what happened at the office? However, Andrius knew what was going on. He knew that his buddy must have gotten into an argument with Rosalie again. Every time he painstakingly created an opportunity for them, these two almost always ended up fighting. He did not know if they were sick of this, but Andrius was. When Andrea saw Grandpa and her brother’s expressions, she was perplexed. She thought that a conflict had come up between them and Byron, but from what she saw now, Byron’s anger seemed to have nothing to do with them. Why was that so? Even when she mentioned Wendy, Byron was dismissive. …As she was leaving the Quirke family’s ho
The office was empty, and Rosalie was the only one there. Rosalie turned on the computer and thought of continuing her understanding of congenital diseases in children. However, nothing was entering her mind. The reason why she chose to return to the research institute was to let herself forget about Byron’s tone of speech and attitude through working. However, she did not expect everyone to value her participation in the free clinic this time so much.Now that she was sitting in the office all alone, Rosalie only had mixed feelings.Even after reading materials for a long time, the contents that she absorbed were very little. Just when she felt fretful, the phone on the table rang. Rosalie took a hold of the phone and glanced at it. When she saw the incoming call, she felt a faint headache. After hesitating for a while, she answered it at last. “Rosalie, how’s the preparation going?”As soon as she answered the call, Leon’s voice echoed through. Rosalie suppressed her
