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
"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
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."
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
Rosalie was not familiar with the restaurants nearby, so she specifically asked Mary to recommend one before taking the boys there directly.Andrius sent a message during dinner. [Dr. Jacobs, will you be administering treatment tonight?]Rosalie then recalled that she had not explained the treatment process to him clearly and replied: [The old master is still a little weak, so the treatment can't be too frequent. He was treated two days in a row before, so let him rest for one day and I'll go over tomorrow. I apologize for forgetting to tell you.][Alright, I'll be waiting for you anytime.] Andrius replied quickly.Seeing that their mommy was still sending messages while eating, the boys asked curiously, "Mommy, what's the matter?"Rosalie smiled and picked up some vegetables for them. "It's nothing. My patient from before is asking me if I'll be heading over."Hearing this, the boys nodded sensibly. They each also gave their mommy some vegetables. "Mommy is working hard, so she
Andrea’s words made Wendy’s eyes shroud with uncertainty.After getting rejected by Byron previously, in addition to the sudden news of this woman’s return, Wendy dared not wait any longer. During this time, she had been trying every means to share Byron’s last name.Early this morning, Wendy intentionally invited Byron’s parents for a meal hoping to impress them while thinking that Byron would listen to his folks and change his mind. The whole situation backfired while she bent over backward trying to please the little brat. Nevertheless, Byron’s folks were there, so she had to swallow all that rage with a smile.At the end of the day, Wendy decided to go out shopping with Andrea in hopes to calm down her anger. She did not expect to hear such news.Many famous doctors could not make any breakthrough with Old Man Quirke’s condition, but he was cured by Rosalie. Moreover, this woman had signed a contract with Andrius in advance to obtain a supply of medicinal materials for her rese
The two women watched Rosalie’s figure disappear through the door, then they went into the restaurant and sat by the window."Wendy, what's the matter between you and Dr. Jacobs? I assume you both know each other but you’re not on good terms?" Andrea asked cautiously as she looked at the person opposite her.Wendy gritted her teeth angrily. "How could we be on good terms? Rosalie is Byron's ex-wife!"If it were not for Rosalie, her marriage with Byron would have been a done deal long ago!Hearing this, Andrea was completely shocked. "That person… is Byron's ex-wife?" Byron was married six years ago, which was hardly a secret in the circle, especially when they grew up with Byron. However, everyone had always thought that Wendy would be Byron’s future wife.Out of the blue, Byron suddenly got married. This heroine of Byron’s life never appeared in front of them, and he rarely spoke of her. So much so that no one knew who the woman was until they divorced. Nobody would have expect
The two little boys recalled Wendy’s appearance from head to toe and compared her with their own mommy. They finally felt that there was no way the woman could ever compare to Mommy.‘Daddy actually abandoned Mommy for that woman. He must be blind!’Pulling away from his thoughts, Lucian suddenly remembered the conversation between the women in the restaurant just now. He leaned over to Rosalie and asked, "Mommy, what did you mean when you said that lady was playing tricks? What happened? Did she bully you?”Rosalie did not want to involve her boys and denied it flatly. "Oh, it's nothing. Just some work matters which have been resolved." As soon as Rosalie finished speaking, Lucian's determined voice rang out."It’s definitely something!" Lucian's small face was tense as he frowned with an expression mature beyond his years. "What's the matter? Mommy, tell us quick!”Nox followed suit with the interrogation. "Mommy, I thought you promised us? The three of us can't have secrets f
