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
"Mommy knows, I just haven’t bounced back from last night." Rosalie smiled at the boy placatingly.Nox stared at her suspiciously for a long time. Not seeing anything unusual from her face, the little boy nodded dubiously and hugged her with pursed lips.Rosalie caressed the boy’s head. "It's getting late, let's go down and eat!"The children nodded obediently.When the four of them got downstairs, a breakfast for five had already been set on the table. Thinking about it, Byron should have brought them in just now.The man was sitting on the sofa with his head down. His shirt cuffs were rolled up, revealing a slender forearm and his fingers were swiping across the phone screen. He looked to be dealing with work.Seeing this scene, Rosalie subconsciously held onto the children’s hands and asked them to slow down to not disturb Byron’s work.Although she had been plenty careful, the man still unexpectedly noticed them and looked up.Their gazes met and Rosalie could not help star
"Daddy, your complexion is so bad too."Estie sat down beside her daddy and noticed at first glance how ugly her daddy's complexion was.Hearing this, Rosalie subconsciously turned to look in Byron's direction. Byron turned so that his profile was facing her and spoke to Estie casually, "I was working yesterday and slept late."The little girl frowned. She sniffed the air for a long time before raising her hand to fan the tip of her nose. "Smells like alcohol."Byron was silent. He turned and grabbed some food for the little girl, without any plans to answer her.Fortunately, the little girl asked no further questions and was quickly distracted as she buried her head into her food seriously.Rosalie had a vague guess in her heart.She only drank a small portion of this bottle of wine, but now there was only this much left. Thinking about it, it should be Byron who had drunk quite a bit more after coming down last night.Taking a closer look, the man's complexion was indeed no
Seeing the child so eager, Rosalie’s heart softened and agreed."I’m done hiding!"Although the little girl had played hide-and-seek with Lucian and Nox so many times, she still did not change her habit of shouting out after hiding.Hearing the girl’s childish voice, Rosalie could not help but laugh.The two other children’s snickering laughter also sounded from the corner.Rosalie shook her head with amusement and reminded the children softly, "All hidden? Then here I come!"After saying that, she immediately walked in the direction where Lucian and Nox were hiding.The two boys were still complacent, thinking that the corner they found was secluded enough that it would be impossible to find them.They even thought about challenging the difficulty by changing their hiding location when Rosalie was looking for them.What they did not expect was that they would be caught by Rosalie the moment they came out of the corner.Met with Rosalie’s amused gaze, the two boys stood up in
Seeing the little girl get up, Rosalie quickly retracted her hand from the man's palm. It felt as if she could still feel the heat from the man's palm on the back of his hand.After calming down for a few seconds, Rosalie came back to her senses and hesitantly glanced at Byron’s hand.Although Estie was small and even a little thin, the blow just now really had not been light.Even she could not stop it.Not to mention how sharp the corners of the coffee table were.Byron’s hands...She wanted to see if Byron was injured, but the man seemed to have the same thought. He was hiding his hand as if nothing had happened, so she was not able to see clearly.Byron put down his phone after a while and glanced at the children who were blaming themselves. He said solemnly, "Let's go out and play."Hearing this, the children' eyes lit up.Byron got up and walked to the door. He grabbed a guide from the shelf and handed it to the children. "Discuss it among yourselves and see where you gu
