On the other end, Byron did not hear Rosalie's answer. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and his tone sank. "If it's inconvenient, I'll send Luther over."Rosalie came back to her senses and said calmly, "It’s alright. Estie is already in my car. I was just about to call you.”Hearing this, Byron’s expression softened. "Then I'll need to trouble you for that. I have something else to do, so I'll get going first."After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Rosalie to respond.A busy tone came from the phone.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds and put the phone aside, but the man's voice still echoed in her ears.Maybe she was overthinking it. However, perhaps due to the play rehearsals, Byron's attitude toward her had become much more easy-going.Sometimes, that even gave her the illusion that they were actually a family, including that moment just now.However, the thought of Melody made Rosalie quickly pull herself away from those thoughts."Mommy?" The little
"Daddy!"Seeing her daddy come in, Estie hurriedly ran to Byron's side while pointing to the untouched food on the dinner table. "You're finally here. We’re so hungry!”Byron followed the little girl's line of sight and saw Lucian and Nox, who were still sitting at the dining table. They held their chins and looked at him eagerly. There seemed to be a look of accusation in their eyes.There were five sets of plates and cutleries on the table, none of which had been moved.Obviously, all of them were waiting for him to eat together.Realizing this, Byron looked back at Rosalie who had walked behind him.Seeing the man's gaze, Rosalie was stunned for a moment, then she explained nonchalantly, "Estie said that she wanted to wait for you."Byron raised his brows slightly and looked down at the little one beside him.Estie nodded obediently with a small smile on her face as if she was asking for credit.Seeing this, Byron raised his hand and touched Estie’s head. She said to Rosali
Rosalie frowned slightly at Byron's statement, her heart full of resistance.Then, Byron continued further. "If we don't rehearse and I accidentally kiss you at the wrong angle, don't blame me for taking advantage of you, Miss Jacobs."Hearing this, there was a touch of incomprehension in Rosalie’s eyes.When she thought of the scene, she felt that what the man just said might happen…"Besides, you and I are not professional actors. If we don't rehearse, how will we know the approximate position and whether it’ll look like a real kiss or not?” Byron noticed that she was convinced by what he said, so he continued to ask with an unchanging expression.Rosalie’s heart was swayed.She admitted that what Byron said was the truth, but there were still a few days before the event. If they rehearsed the final scene now, she would have to be in close contact with the man.When she hesitated, Estie's little voice rang out. "Why do we have to rehearse all the other scenes but not this one?
"Close your eyes." Byron’s voice rang out again.Rosalie's eyes trembled, and she closed her eyes cooperatively.The next second, the man's breath approached her again. Rosalie was still unavoidably nervous, but she did not dare to show it again and just secretly pinched her palm.The little ones at the side saw Byron's face getting closer and closer to Rosalie. When they were about to kiss, Byron paused and slowly turned his head. From their point of view, it looked like a real kiss.Rosalie clearly felt the whole process, from the man leaning close until the pause and head turn. She subconsciously held her breath and waited for a while, but the man never straightened up.There was silence around her, and the man's breathing was clearly audible.Rosalie frowned slightly, opened her eyes cautiously, and saw the enlarged handsome face in front of her. She was in a trance for a few seconds.When she came back to her senses, Rosalie stretched out her hand against Byron’s chest, and
After a few days of rehearsal, Friday finally came.In the evening, when Rosalie went to pick up the little ones, she saw the kids holding a set of clothes in their arms. Their faces were full of anticipation."Mommy! Look, this is our costume!" Seeing Rosalie coming over, Nox excitedly showed her the clothes in his hand.Rosalie nodded slightly and took the clothes from the boys.Estie waited obediently and also held two sets of clothes in her arms, one of which was Byron’s.The little girl's physique was not very good. Now that she was carrying a schoolbag and holding the clothes as well, it seemed to be difficult for her. As soon as Lucian and Nox had their hands free, they immediately ran to Estie’s side and helped her with the clothes.Estie accepted their generosity and thanked them sweetly.The three little children stood in front of Rosalie, waiting for her to take them to the car.These days, Rosalie had been coming over to pick up the three of them together. The li
It had been a long time since Estie spent the night in Rosalie's house. As soon as she got home, she was so excited. She ran around the house with the two brothers and played for a long time. They only stopped when Rosalie called them for dinner. After dinner, Rosalie spent some time with the kids for a while. She also let the little ones try on their costumes.After all, this was an elite kindergarten, and the anniversary event was the biggest focus for the kindergarten. The workmanship of the costumes was exceptional, and they fitted the kids very well.Lucian’s and Nox's costumes were almost identical, but the colors were slightly different. One was blue while the other was green. There were small wings on their backs, and they had pointed elf ears.After the two little boys put them on, even though they did not have makeup on, they already looked like elves.Estie wore a long black witch dress with a pointed hat and held a magic wand.Only the little girl's innocent face did
Estie wanted to say something, but Rosalie interrupted, "It's getting late. We have to get up early tomorrow, so let's finish washing up and rest early."Rosalie was reluctant to continue this topic.Estie's eyes darkened, but she agreed obediently and did not speak anymore.It was rare for the little girl to sleep with Rosalie, so she slept soundly.Rosalie's mind kept echoing the little girl's innocent question.‘Did he do something wrong?’Six years ago, that man did not like her. Apart from that, the man did not seem to have done anything else to hurt her.However, just that one action was enough for Rosalie to keep her distance from him.Furthermore, there were continuous disturbances and attacks coming from Melody and Wendy.These thoughts kept her up all night, and Rosalie was up early in the morning.The little one was still curled beside her, sound asleep.Rosalie looked at the sleeping child with soft eyes, feeling distressed and helpless.She did not know why the
"Daddy!" Estie was struck by how handsome her Daddy was that she ran toward Byron’s arms.Byron squatted down to catch the little girl, straightened up with Estie in his arms, and looked at the woman in front of him.Rosalie only had light makeup on, but she was wearing a pure white princess gown. Her long hair was rolled up and secured with a small crystal tiara, which made her eyes glow. Her whole presence was dazzling.When she met his gaze, Rosalie smiled lightly, making him unable to look away.The two little boys stood quietly behind Rosalie, looking at the man standing opposite them. They imagined what they would look like when they grew up.Although they did not like Daddy, they could not deny that he was really handsome.They wondered if they would be as handsome as their father in the future."Let’s go in." Byron broke the silence and turned to lead the way.Rosalie nodded slightly and followed behind him with the two boys.The anniversary celebration event had not s
