Meanwhile, Byron was on the way home with Estie.The father and daughter had their own concerns, and for a while, the car was silent.Estie sat in the backseat, and her little face was staring at the shell bracelet on her wrist. She felt uneasy."Daddy, is Auntie trying to avoid us again?" Estie hesitated for a long time. However, she eventually could not help but ask.Although Rosalie had promised her that she could see her again, the little one was still afraid that Rosalie would continue to avoid them in the future.The little one's question hit the nail in Byron's heart. The man was silent for a few seconds before replying with a complicated mood, "I don’t know either."Hearing this, the little girl pouted her lips in disappointment. She carefully prodded. "Did Estie do badly this time?"‘I remember that Daddy said if I behaved well, Auntie would no longer avoid us.‘But Auntie liked me very much these two days. She even gave me a gift…’These thoughts made the little girl
"The situation is really strange."Luther slowly explained, "According to our investigation, the perpetrators are just rambunctious gangsters who have nothing to do with the Lawrence family or the Fuller family. There’s no reason for them to seek revenge on Madam and Miss Fuller."Although Byron had his own conjecture, his face darkened when he heard this. "Where are they now?"Luther said, "Those kids are very vigilant. Recently, there are some unknown people wandering in some entertainment places in the southern district. They should be the suspects who are hiding from us."Byron frowned and instructed. "Since they’re still in Coast City, find them as soon as possible."During this time, his mother had been using the matter of the car accident to force him to maintain the engagement.Byron did not want to be held ransom by this matter anymore.He desperately needed the truth!On the other end, Luther responded without hesitation, "Yes, I’ll send more people immediately, and w
Rosalie was injured, so it was inconvenient for her to move around. After returning from the hotel, she had been recuperating at home. Most of the matters in the research institute were dealt with by Dr. Graham over the phone.This morning, Xander Lancer's call came in.Seeing the caller ID, Rosalie's eyes turned slightly bright. She could probably guess the purpose of Xander's call.After all, after the free clinic, the only contact between the two of them was about the cooperation of the research institute.Before that, the Lancer family's research institute was still in the preparatory stage. Hence, their cooperation had not been on the right track.This call was very likely to discuss the specific matters of cooperation with her!Thinking of this, Rosalie stumbled into the study regardless of her foot injury."Miss Jacobs, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?" Xander's smiling voice came through as soon as the line was connected.Rosalie smiled. "Of course not! Young Master
After lunch, Rosalie got ready and asked Lisa to accompany her to the appointment.When they got there, they saw that Xander was already waiting by the window.Seeing Rosalie being helped in, Xander frowned slightly, got up, and strode over to greet her. "Are you injured? Why didn't you tell me this morning?"Rosalie smiled lightly. "It’s just a small cut. It’s not a big deal."Xander frowned and glanced at her foot that could not touch the floor and reached out to help her to the seat.Lisa sat near the door waiting for them.After being seated, Rosalie immediately glanced at the stack of documents on the opposite, and her face turned serious. "Young Master Xander, you must have lots to say, so let's not waste time and get into it."Xander truly admired a strong woman like her and agreed immediately."As for the details of the cooperation between the two institutes, we should have finalized it a long time ago, but it was delayed for so long because of the Lancer family. A prop
"Speaking of which, how did you hurt your foot?"On the way back, Xander asked in a puzzled manner.Rosalie felt a strange feeling in her heart as she thought of how her foot got injured. However, when she spoke, her tone was cool and indifferent. "It’s nothing. I went for a trip two days ago and was accidentally scratched by a conch."Xander, who was not clear about the entire story, could not help finding it funny when he heard her reason. "I didn't expect that a person like you who’s so strict during work would be so careless in private that you’d be scratched by a conch."Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. "What can I say? I’m surprised myself."The two of them were talking and laughing all the way.The car slowly stopped in front of Rosalie's house, and Xander got out of the car and helped Rosalie.The two were still chatting about interesting medicine practices, and their faces were full of smiles.The smile on Rosalie's face did not fade until a cold voice suddenly soun
Xander was also a well-known childe and frowned slightly when he heard Byron speaking to him in such a tone. He more or less felt some displeasure deep down.However, since he was at the door of someone else's home, Xander still maintained his demeanor. He turned to look at Rosalie and asked her for her opinion.Rosalie agreed that Byron's tone was disrespectful, but she also knew that if things were to continue like this, Byron would only cross the line even more.Aware of Xander's gaze, Rosalie said apologetically, "Thank you for sending me back, but it might not be convenient for you to come in and have a seat today. I’ll definitely thank you next time."After she said that, Byron’s brows raised slightly and he immediately reached his hand out to support her other arm.Xander naturally respected her suggestion. Hearing this, he just nodded with a smile. "It's nothing. Since you’re injured, let's just talk about the partnership over the phone for the time being."Rosalie respon
Byron’s expression improved a little with that, and he helped her into the villa.Lisa and the boys had not returned yet, and there were only the two of them in the villa. Rosalie could not help feeling very awkward. She was about to ask her guest to leave when the man's voice rang in her ears again."I'll take a look at your injury."Rosalie saw Byron crouching down slowly in front of her after he said that.Noticing the man's intention, Rosalie frowned and refused. “There’s no need. My injury is fine. I’m well aware of it myself."Saying that, Rosalie wanted to take her foot back.However, due to the injury on her feet, it was really inconvenient for her to move, and there was no room for her to hide on the sofa.The moment she retracted her foot by an inch, the man grabbed her ankle."Don't move. Your wound just so happens to be on the sole of your foot. If you’re not careful, the wound will split open. Not to mention you didn't follow the doctor's orders today and went walk
On the other hand, Wendy had been staying in the hospital for nearly a month and was finally able to be discharged.During this period of time, Byron only went to the hospital to accompany her for a few days in the beginning after Melody requested him to do so. He never showed up again after that.Even when Wendy had taken the initiative to contact him several times, Byron always used work as an excuse to reject her request.Not to mention, two days ago, a parent and friend from the kindergarten visited her and told her that Byron and Rosalie had co-starred in a Sleeping Beauty stage play. They showed her photos of the two of them starring in the stage play.In the photo, Byron was dressed as a prince and was looking at Rosalie who was on the wooden bed from a distance.As the friend swiped the screen, the photos that followed appeared one by one in front of Wendy's eyes.She saw the distance between the two of them getting closer and closer. In the end, Byron was sitting at the
