"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
Seeing the expression on Rosalie's face, there was another dull pain in Byron’s heart.Rather than see this expression of the woman's, he would rather have the woman wake up and look at him distantly with those beautiful eyes.After all, this appearance of the woman only made him recall their relationship six years ago.At that time, the woman only had eyes for him.However, he had turned a blind eye to the woman's desire and in the end, the woman left him, disheartened.Rosalie's current appearance seemed to have reminded him that it was all his fault that they were where they were today.Byron frowned in a self-deprecating manner. He looked away from Rosalie and said again, "You drank too much, drink some water and clear your head a little."Rosalie did not respond for a long time after he said that.Just as Byron wanted to look down, he felt a sinking in his chest again."Byron, the stage play, was it really an accident..." Rosalie's voice became softer and softer before it
The little girl stayed in her arms for a while before waking up completely and crawling out of her arms.Seeing Rosalie's expression, the little girl’s brows furrowed slightly, and she asked with concern, "Auntie, what's wrong? You don’t look good."Rosalie was stunned for a moment. She then raised her hand and touched her face.She had not looked at herself in the mirror after waking up and did not know how bad her complexion was now.She drank so much alcohol yesterday and went to bed so late after tossing and turning about in her sleep, thinking about it, her complexion could not look any better than that.The little girl wrinkled her nose again and sniffed her surroundings, puzzled. "Where did the alcohol smell come from?"Rosalie came back to her senses and smiled at the little girl soothingly. "It's nothing, auntie just has a headache. I couldn't sleep last night, so I went down and drank some red wine."Hearing this, the little girl touched her forehead carefully.Rosali
