The Drunken Divine's Dwelling was the largest private restaurant in Coast City. Their service was excellent, and their dishes were full of color and flavor. It was only open to exclusive customers and reservations needed to be made a month in advance.Mary had managed to pull a few strings to get their number yesterday.The layout of the restaurant was also very elegant. Each seat was separated by a screen and a small wooden door had been constructed in the front. The top was not sealed so that when dinner was underway, the chandelier at the top would create a full atmosphere. The imagery was quite like when people of the olden days partook in drinking under the moon.They pushed opened the door and entered before taking a seat at once at the round table. The waiter soon arrived with the menu.Rosalie was afraid that the little girl beside her would not be able to relax and completely focused her attention on her. She would give her some food from time to time and wipe her mouth.
There were only two people in the booth.Byron scanned the booth once before his gaze finally landed on his daughter.The little girl was feeling wronged after Rosalie upped and left all of a sudden just now but seeing her own daddy now, not only was she fearful, she even sunk her head grumpily.Byron’s gaze sunk slightly."Little lady, are you all right?"Both father and daughter were sullen, and this was where Luther, the assistant came in handy.The little girl glanced at him and turned away angrily, ignoring him.Luther scrutinized her carefully. Noting that she was safe and sound, he was relieved and turned back to report to Byron.Byron nodded and his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman sitting next to his daughter.When their gazes met, Mary’s heart constricted and pinched the palm of her hand, only then did she manage to keep her expression steady."Where is Rosalie?"Byron glanced over Mary’s face. Seeing her clearly, his expression sank slightly.He r
“Mommy, who is that person Byron Lawrence? Why are we hiding from him?”When Lucian and Nox saw their Mommy in a trance, they shook her hand and asked.Rosalie slowly came back to her senses. She caressed their heads and smiled as if nothing had happened. "He’s no one important, he just has a little bit of a grudge with mommy since last time. If you two hear this name in the future, you must stay away, understand?"The two nodded obediently. “We got it, Mommy.”After their mommy looked away, the two met gazes and their big eyes were full of curiosity.Whatever happened between their mommy and daddy back then, it looked like it was not some small misunderstanding!Rosalie bowed her head slightly; she was still wondering about the situation at Mary’s side when the two little boys’ voices sounded again.“Mommy, with how hurriedly we ran away just now, if that person suspects us, it will be easy for them to find us by checking the surveillance cameras,” Lucian informed kindly.Pani
Twenty minutes later.The car came to a slow halt afront the Lawrence Manor.Estie did not let anyone carry her down. She propped against the seat, got out of the car slowly, and walked ahead without saying a word.Byron followed her silently.The moment father and daughter entered through the doors; they heard a call…“Estie!”Wendy was in the living area swiping on her mobile phone leisurely. She had looked up for a glance when she heard someone come in.Seeing that it was Estie, she immediately ran over pretentiously and hugged the little girl enthusiastically. "You're finally back! Why did you run away without saying anything? I was scared! Are you okay? Are you hurt?"She even looked over the little girl's body nervously as she said this.Caught off guard by her hug, Estie was stunned for a moment.Wendy's hypocritical voice sounded in her ear and the little girl gradually recovered the coldness in her eyes.Did this woman really not know, why she ran away from home?I
The four of them returned to the villa immediately.Rosalie and the two little ones were still hungry and plowed through the food that Mary had taken away.After eating, the two boys went upstairs and showered.Mary looked at her best friend meaningfully. "I don't quite understand why you’re hiding from Byron. Didn't you two agree to divorce that time? Why are you so afraid of him now? Besides, what was the reason for your divorce? You didn't actually tell me what happened a few years ago."Meeting her gaze, Rosalie subconsciously lowered hers. She hesitated for a while before reluctantly describing the situation back then to her.“Rosalie, you sure are ballsy!”Mary did not actually expect her best friend to drug Byron and then get pregnant with his child secretly.No wonder she wanted to run after hearing Byron’s name today!Rosalie bit her lower lip bitterly. "I don't want him to know about Lucian and Nox. Moreover, when I gave him the drug, I was afraid that he still had a
Lawrence Manor. Late night. Byron walked light-footed into Estie's room and tucked the quilt around her.The little girl was sleeping soundly. After watching her deeply for a while, he then turned to leave.The moment he came out, he saw Luther coming up to him to report, "Master, I went to that restaurant to look through their surveillance, but it was broken, and we found nothing."Hearing this, Byron frowned. "That coincidental?" The restaurant's surveillance was broken just as he was having suspicions? Luther looked a little troubled and added hesitatingly, "Maybe it is a coincidence, after all, the lady... No, Miss Jacobs has been gone for so long. We haven't heard from her for years and it's unlikely that she will suddenly appear in the country."Saying that, he looked at his master's expression, and it instantly sank.Luther felt his heart tighten. He lowered his head and said nothing."I understand."Uttered Byron mysteriously before he turned around and went into
Lucian followed his gaze and saw the little girl they had met the night before.The little guy's good-looking brows twisted slightly.Estie was watching them at this moment as she clapped along with the other children.Noticing that they were looking at her, an imperceptible excitement flashed through her big, watery eyes.She did not expect to meet the two brothers here.While they had only met once, she had unconsciously taken a liking to the two, she was not sure why either. However, Lucian and Nox had already looked away when she looked at them."Well, you two go and sit down first. There are two empty seats there. Would you like to sit together?"The teacher pointed to the two empty seats beside Estie.Lucian and Nox were stunned. They did not say a thing, they just nodded and went to sit down.Looking that the two little brothers walking toward her, Estie’s eyes lit up as she watched them longingly.They were obviously sitting beside her, yet they did not look like th
Estie took a painful fall, she also felt really wronged and subconsciously rubbed her little hand, her eyes red. She sniffled and got up from the ground. Then she grabbed a small notebook from the table and began writing stroke by stroke. The kids saw this and found it weird. The little nonverbal child could not speak and would usually write in the notebook to communicate with them.However, since not many people played with her, the little notebook made sparse appearances. Soon, Estie was done writing and she flipped the small notebook over to show JoJo what she had written. [Apologize.]Seeing the word on it, JoJo scoffed. Hand on her waist, she asked, "You dare ask me to apologize? Estelle Lawrence, you're getting bold. You looking to get beat up!?"Saying this, she walked toward Estie angrily with her arms out to push her. Estie did not expect JoJo to make a move and had no time to react at all, frozen in place. Lucian and Nox had been observing this scene. JoJo pu
