Colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky. The crowd happened to quiet down as they looked up at the scenery in the sky. For a moment, only the sound of music from the band graced their ears.It seemed that the band had tacitly switched to a soothing tune in order to match the quiet atmosphere. Nox stopped drumming for a few seconds and then slowly caught up with the band.While holding Lucian’s hand, Rosalie looked up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky before looking back at the boy who was drumming on stage. A smile unconsciously revealed itself on her face.Beside her, Estie was jumping up and down while holding her daddy's hand. She was trying to see the fireworks in the sky above clearly.The little girl was somewhat short, and her line of sight was severely obstructed by the walls of people surrounding her. She could only see the people squeezing about when she looked up.Byron looked down at the little girl, then leaned over slightly to carry the girl in his
The light from the fireworks in the night sky was reflected in the children’s eyes. They were extraordinarily beautiful.Rosalie stood next to the man cautiously. She was looking up at the night sky but kept the periphery of her vision fixed on Lucian and Estie, afraid that they would accidentally fall down.Fortunately, the little ones were safe and sound until the end of the fireworks show.This was Lucian’s first time sitting on his daddy's shoulder. He felt a little reluctant when he came down, but he did not show it on his face. He just obediently let the man put him on the ground before thanking him politely, "Thank you, Mister."Byron nodded slightly at the boy but said nothing.Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere post-fireworks show.The band on stage suddenly fell silent.Rosalie had been paying attention to Nox's movements. Noticing the changes on the stage almost immediately, she looked toward the stage.She saw that the boy had at some point come out from behind
"Nox, I'm sorry." Lucian apologized to his younger brother after the crowd’s attention moved away from them. "I didn't hold onto you properly and you ended up being squeezed away in the crowd..."Nox looked at his brother in a manner that showed he did not mind. "There are too many people here, so it's not your fault. Besides, I wasn’t lost. It was fun playing with the drums just now."Hearing him say this, Lucian frowned and was silent for a few seconds. He then slowly nodded and did not forget to promise him, "Either way, I’ll definitely hold onto you firmly in the future. This won’t ever happen again!"Nox nodded vigorously while gripping his brother's hand tightly.Estie, who was at the side, also came in to join in the fun. "I will too! I’ll hold Lu’s and No’s hands!"After saying that, the little girl took Nox's little hand with a serious expression on her face.The children held each other’s hands, their faces filled with seriousness. It was somewhat moving to look at them
"Brother, did..." Nox looked at Estie beside them carefully and changed the address on his lips. "Did Mister Byron really find me?"Lucian nodded. "Mommy was so anxious just now that she wanted to take me and Estie along to go look for you, but Mister Byron stopped her. He went searching on his own."Hearing this, Nox subconsciously glanced at Byron who was not far away. The emotions he felt in his heart were a little complicated."Fortunately, Mister Byron found you in time. Otherwise, Mommy would have really broken down crying." Lucian thought of his mommy's anxious expression just now and felt a burst of self-blame in his heart.It was precisely because of this that although the boy did not like his daddy, he still had to thank him.Hearing that his mommy had almost cried just now, Nox looked wholly apologetic. "Didn’t I already thank Mister Byron just now?"He was not aware of the situation just now. His mommy had asked him to thank their daddy, so he just did. Thinking back
Back at the hotel, Rosalie wanted to take the boys upstairs immediately.However, there seemed to be a resentful gaze following her from behind.Rosalie frowned slightly and looked back, only to see that Estie was following her from behind step by step.Seeing her turn around, the little girl stopped pitifully, her expression filled with anticipation.Not far away, Byron did not seem to have noticed the situation here and was just pouring himself some water from the bar.Seeing this, Rosalie’s heart softened. She turned around and went up to the little girl. "Estelle, do you want to sleep with me?"The little girl nodded vigorously before asking her carefully, "Can I?"Seeing the girl’s cautious expression, Rosalie's heart softened. She looked up and over at the man not far away. She said to the little girl softly, "Go ask your daddy. If he says it's okay, I’ll bring you up."Hearing this, the girl's eyes brightened slightly as she ran to Byron's side on her short legs.Byron
Rosalie was once again stunned.She could not help but recall the kiss that came out of nowhere at the mention of Sleeping Beauty."Auntie?" the little girl urged.Rosalie came back to her senses. She forced a smile at the little girl and told her the story of Sleeping Beauty.The little girl listened carefully.After Rosalie was done with the story, the girl had also already dozed off into a slumber.Rosalie tucked the blanket around the little girl and laid down beside her.She was also a little tired after running around the entire day, but when she closed her eyes, thoughts surged through her mind.Although she found Nox, the fact that he had gone missing still left her with lingering fears.Also, with Estie suddenly mentioning Sleeping Beauty just now, that kiss on the stage lingered Rosalie's mind.Rosalie laid in bed for who knows how long but still had not fallen asleep.Looking at the time, it was almost midnight.Rosalie simply got up and went downstairs.If memo
Seeing how distant she was, Byron’s face sank slightly."Since President Lawrence is not done with his work, I shan’t bother you. I'll simply drink something, don’t need to mind me."Rosalie nodded to him before turning around and heading to the bar.As expected of the presidential suite, there were quite a few expensive alcohols at the bar. The several bottles of red wine were also some years old.Rosalie did not know much about alcohol either; she only knew that red wine helps with sleep. After taking a look around, she opened one bottle.Byron heard the bottle cap opening and turned to look at Rosalie's back. He could not see which bottle of wine she had opened and could only remind in a deep voice, "The aftereffects of red wine are strong, just drink a little."Rosalie complied calmly.The living room was quiet, only the sound of Rosalie pouring herself wine could be heard.Byron’s attention had also been shifted over and he practically could not process the content of the
Back to the room, Byron looked up only to see that Estie had rolled to the edge of the big bed and was sleeping soundly.Seeing the little girl's appearance, Byron’s eyes darkened.When the little girl slept at home, she was always orderly and practically did not move the entire night.Perhaps it was because of the change in environment, or maybe the child was relaxed around Rosalie, but her movements were this much more.Byron gently put Rosalie on the bed. He then walked to the side of the bed and carried the little girl back into the middle of the bed."Daddy..." The little girl woke up for a bit in a daze and when she saw her daddy, she thought that she was dreaming and called out to him vaguely.Byron caressed the little girl's cheek and watched her fall asleep again.After the little girl fell asleep, he glanced at Rosalie to the side and got up to pour her a glass of water.Sitting up on the bed in a daze, Rosalie opened her eyes and saw Byron frowning at her."Get up a
