Chapter 57 She Doesn’t Need Your Gratitude
Hearing him mention their mommy, the two boys were instantly on their guards."Why are you looking for my mommy?!" Lucian stared at the man not far away alertly like a little dog that would attack anytime.Obviously, he had no attacking power, but he still had to put on a fierce appearance.Byron was deeply aware of the little guy's hostility, and when he saw his alert appearance, he found it strange but also funny. He did not take it seriously. He just said, "You’ve taken care of Estie these two times. I need to offer my gratitude in person."Hearing this, Lucian breathed a sigh of relief internally, but his small face was still taut. "No need. My mommy went to make a call, and she doesn’t need your thanks."With that, he dragged Nox back to the carpet. He bowed his head and said to Estie, "Since your daddy has come to pick you up, you can go back with him. Mommy has to go out to work in a while and won't have the time to accompany you." Estie was still immersed in the joy of t
Chapter 58 You Can’t Be Friends With Them
Rosalie had just wanted to call the research institute to let them know that she would be coming by later.The person who happened to answer the phone, however, was Yves. He began telling her about a project that was scheduled for the next two days. There was a group of data in it that he did not understand.Hence, Rosalie discussed it with him.Unexpectedly, she forgot the time the moment they started discussing work. When she thought about hanging up the call, it was also because she had vaguely heard Byron's voice downstairs.In the end, Rosalie hurriedly concluded their discussion before hanging up the call immediately and trotting downstairs.She had almost forgotten that Byron would be the one coming by in a bit. Those two little ones were still down there with Estie.If Byron were to see them… At the thought of what might happen, Rosalie panicked.When she came down to try to stop them from meeting, however, it was obviously too late.The moment Rosalie came to the
Chapter 59 Don't You Know How To Talk Properly?
Byron had no experience coaxing children. Whenever Estie was angry with him in the past, it was Mrs. Zora whom he had asked to coax her.Seeing his daughter crying in front of Rosalie now, a trace of panic flashed through Byron's heart. In the end, with a calm expression, he dully ordered, "Don't cry."He had thought that this sentence was void of emotion.In Estie's ear, however, it sounded fierce.The moment he said that, Estie sobbed harder. Her tears practically rolled down in a stream. Her head was lowered as she choked on her sobs. She was practically out of breath.Byron's brows were locked, and he did not know how to react for a moment.Seeing the little girl crying like this yet how cold Byron's response was as a father, Rosalie could not just stand and watch anymore. "Is this how you treat your child? She's crying like this yet you spoke to her with that tone? Don't you know how to talk to her properly?"When Byron was suddenly lectured by her, he could not help but
Chapter 60 That Man, Absolutely Deplorable
Byron looked at the two indignant children in front of him with a slight frown.These two were obviously accusing him.For some reason, however, seeing them like this made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He was even feeling inexplicable guilt.Rosalie held Estie in her arms. When she heard the two little guys say such words, she felt stunned at first, and then her heart began to ache.Fortunately, they did not know that it was their biological father in front of them.If they knew, it was likely that they would be even sadder…Byron was silent for a long time before looking away from the two boys apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm not treating you as bad guys. I just thought… that it would be better not to deal with an ex-husband again now that you all have your own lives. If your father knows about this, he’ll feel uncomfortable."Hearing this, Rosalie and the boys were stunned.The boys looked at each other with surprise before recalling that their daddy still did not know thei
Chapter 61 The Nonspeaker Can Talk
After Byron's car disappeared from their sight, Rosalie brought the two little ones back into the villa again before crouching down in front of them with a serious expression.The two boys knew that their mommy had something to say to them and looked at her obediently."Lucian, Nox, listen carefully. No matter who you meet in the future, you mustn't casually tell them about our family, especially the fact that… you guys don't have a father!" Rosalie thought of the situation just now and felt her head ache.If she had not interrupted them in time, a smart person like Byron would have had his suspicions!Lucian and Nox looked at her, puzzled. "Why? We really don't have a daddy!"Rosalie felt her headache getting worse.She could not tell these two that it was because she was afraid that their biological father would come to the door, right?After staying silent for a while, Rosalie casually made an excuse. "That's because bad guys like children without fathers best. They know th
Chapter 62 Urging You To Get Married
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Byron frowned as he asked.Hearing this, Mrs. Lawrence, Melody, who had been worriedly checking if her little granddaughter was injured, rebuked, "I heard that my sweetheart went missing early in the morning. Shouldn't I be worried? I was so scared that I quickly pulled your father to come over here to have a look. Also, how could you not have told us about something so huge?!"Byron was speechless."Estie, tell me, where did you run off to?" Melody had confirmed that she was not hurt before pulling her into her arms affectionately. "How could you run off on your own when you’re still so young? You scared me. You can't do this in the future, okay?" she said with concern.Wendy also added, "If there’s anything you’re unhappy about, you can come and tell me. Don't run away without a word. Your grandparents were worried about you. I was also ready to head out and search for you. Fortunately, you’re back!"Estie, who was being held in her grandmother’s ar
Chapter 63 Don’t Be With That Woman
At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence stayed at the manor for lunch. Wendy also found an excuse to stay.Wendy behaved very considerately at the dining table. She served soup and vegetables to the elders from time to time. She had not forgotten to peel a shrimp for Estie. She herself took no more than a few bites."I remember that you like to eat shrimp, Estie, so I peeled them specially for you." Wendy pushed the peeled shrimp in front of Estie.Estie just looked up before lowering her head back down to eat from her own plate as if she had not seen it.Wendy's hand was still on the plate, and the smile on her face was a little stiff.Estie did not touch the plate of shrimp after a long time.Melody asked strangely, "Estie, why aren’t you eating the shrimp that Miss Wendy specially peeled for you? You should thank her."Estie ignored her and buried her head into her meal.Seeing this, Melody frowned slightly, and her tone became harsh. "Estie, your current behavior is very rude."
Chapter 64 Pick Again, The Next One Will Be Better
Benedict did not ask anymore. If his granddaughter wanted to learn, then he would teach.The grandfather and granddaughter immediately requested a servant bring them pens and ink. They practiced calligraphy on the dining table in the dining room.Seeing that his father was taking care of Estie, Byron bade them goodbye and went to the study.Wendy was seething with anger.As if she could not tell that the wretched little girl wanted to stay away from her. She refused her several times in front of the Lawrence family!If this went on, the two elders of the Lawrence family would surely notice that something was off!No, she had to find the chance to teach this wretched little girl a lesson and have her learn to be more obedient!…Due to Estie’s sudden arrival, it was almost ten o'clock when Rosalie brought the boys to the research institute.After settling the boys in her office, Rosalie began working non-stop.The group of data that Yves had put forward had not been processed
