"Auntie." Estie carefully tugged at the hem of her clothes.Rosalie looked down at the little girl, only to see that she was looking at her pitifully with her big eyes were as if they could talk and were asking her why she was ignoring her.Seeing the little guy's gaze, Rosalie's heart became increasingly confused, and he could only show a very reluctant smile to the little guy.To the side, Byron saw Rosalie's reluctant appearance and his brows twitched. He said in a calm voice, "I will trouble Miss Jacobs to pay more attention to the stage play during this time. This is the children’s first time performing on stage. I hope you will not bring your personal feelings into the performance."Hearing this, Rosalie's expression stiffened slightly. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and nodded indifferently, "I will."The man's gaze swept across her face.Rosalie pursed her thin lips lightly. Her expression was indifferent, making it clear that she did not want to talk to him.
Hearing this, Rosalie snapped back to her senses and subconsciously retorted, "You misunderstand. I’m just acquainted with President Lawrence; we don't know each other well."The woman raised her brow slightly and tentatively asked her, "Since this is the case, can you switch groups with me?"If Rosalie agreed, she could team up with Byron just as she wanted.Regardless of her being able to get into the Lawrences’ good graces or not, she would also be satisfied with just acting in a fairy tale love with a man like Byron.Rosalie's heart thumped slightly, but then she thought of the principal's words and hesitantly asked her, "Can we still change our groups now?"Seeing that she wanted to agree, the woman nodded quickly. "If both of us are willing, what other problems are there? Let's go inform Miss Leigh Ann and that should be fine."Hearing this, Rosalie nodded slightly, and she held onto hope in her heart.The principal mentioned that the grouping could not be changed because
To the side, Estie heard that auntie was going to change groups and pursed her lips with a grievance. She raised her eyes to look at her daddy.Byron's expression was cold and the curve of the corners of his mouth was tight. The displeasure in his heart was showing but he did not say anything. He had already given it a thought before he came here that no matter what, he could not quarrel with this woman again.When he heard the woman so persistent about changing teams, however, Byron could not help but feel angry.Estie looked away from her daddy. She thought about what her daddy had said the night before, that he needed her help to fix his relationship with auntie.The little girl sniffed, her eyes quickly turning red. Tears were also forming in her eyes as she looked pitifully in Rosalie's direction.The classroom was silent, and the sudden sounds of sobbing were abrupt.For a moment, everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Estie looking at Rosalie tearfull
Rosalie looked at the man who was suddenly leaving and Estie who was crying till she could hardly breathe. Her hands that were hanging by her side were clenched into fists, her fingertips dug deeply into the flesh of her palm."Miss Jacobs..." Miss Leigh Ann could not help but speak up for Estie.Mrs. Cooper also hurriedly got up and looked at Rosalie apologetically. "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I'm not changing teams anymore, please coax Estie!"The woman's eyes were filled with fear.She had wanted to seize this opportunity to get closer to Byron, but she did not expect that changing groups would render Estie so anxious.If the Lawrences were to blame her for this, she would not be able to escape it!Seeing this, Rosalie gritted her teeth and shut her eyes. In the end, she compromised and walked up to Estie, "Don't cry Estie. Auntie won't change teams anymore."The little girl had been crying so hard that she was not able to stop in an instant. She looked up at her, choking.Sudde
After some discussion, the parent meeting this time ended.Miss Leigh Ann stood at the door of the classroom and sent the parents off.Rosalie walked over to Miss Leigh Ann with a heavy heart, "Miss Leigh Ann, if the storyline won’t be edited, will the last scene for Sleeping Beauty really be suitable for the kids who are this young?"Miss Leigh Ann smiled reassuringly. "Miss Jacobs, you don't have to worry about it. The children have long learned about all these. Also, we won’t really get you to kiss, you will just be asked to position yourself when the time comes."After Miss Leigh Ann said that she looked up behind her. "President Lawrence, I’m sure you will also cooperate, yes?"Hearing this, Rosalie's body unconsciously froze."Of course." Byron’s deep voice sounded. It sounded like he was practically speaking into her ear.Rosalie lowered her gaze and silently took a step toward the outside before turning to look at the person behind her.Byron was looking at her coldly.
That night, the two boys were already waiting at home when Rosalie came back.Seeing Rosalie come in, the boys hurried up to greet her while staring at her face cautiously.Rosalie frowned with confusion. "What's wrong?"The boys looked at each other before Nox asked in a childlike voice, "Mommy, are you upset?"Hearing this, Rosalie was confused. "Why do you say that?"Nox pursed his lips and said timidly, "This morning, in kindergarten, you wanted to change groups, but in the end, you didn't..."Rosalie inevitably thought about the stage play when kindergarten was brought up and could not help the throbbing of her head. She still looked at the boys in a placating manner. "Mommy is not angry, be good, get ready for dinner in a bit."After Rosalie took off her coat and changed her shoes, they then slowly turned around and sat down at the dining table.Rosalie washed her hands before coming out, only to see that there was already a hill on her plate. The boys were like ants movi
The next evening.Rosalie had been busy at the research institute until after seven o'clock in the evening before then returning home.The moment she came in, she saw a man standing in the living room.For a moment, Rosalie was frozen in place, frowning.She did remember agreeing to Byron yesterday that she would start rehearsal after the children were done with school.However, she did not expect this person to have come by himself without even saying anything in advance."Mommy!" Lucian and Nox were the first to realize that she was back and called out excitedly. After that, they gently pulled Estie’s hand.The little girl looked back dubiously.Rosalie clearly saw the expression on the little girl’s face to be that of disappointment when she turned around but the moment she saw her, her eyes suddenly lit up."Auntie!" The little girl ran even faster than Lucian and Nox before pouncing on her side. She stared at her with her head tilted up.Rosalie suppressed the feeling of
The moment their gazes met, Rosalie's heart constricted slightly, and she forced herself to withdraw her gaze calmly and pretend that she had just unintentionally looked over."Eat quickly, the food will be cold soon if you don't eat it,” Lisa urged with a smile.Hearing this, Rosalie came back to her senses. She nodded absentmindedly and scooped a bit of food for all three of the kids.Estie looked at the dishes on her plate but was reluctant to touch her cutleries.Rosalie looked at the little girl with concern. "What’s wrong, Estelle? Do you not like to these?"She recalled that the little girl was not a picky eater...Estie looked at the living room carefully, then turned to look at her eagerly before speaking in a childlike voice, "Daddy..."Rosalie's expression went slightly stiff. She could already guess what the little girl wanted to say."Daddy hasn’t eaten either." Estie's eyes were full of cautious expectations, "Can you let daddy eat together with us?"Hearing the
