Meanwhile, Lisa entered the living room after returning the flowers. She saw Rosalie sitting on the sofa, going through the documents. She hesitated to say what was on her mind.“Have you returned the flowers?” Rosalie heard noises from the door and turned around.Lisa nodded. “I’ve given them to the staff from the flower shop to return them.”Rosalie did not ask more after getting the answer she needed. She continued reading the documents.Yves had been handling all the matters in the research institute when Rosalie was away. However, Rosalie’s participation was needed to cooperate with the Lancer family.Rosalie also placed great importance on that matter. She had been busy reading documents even while recuperating at home.Fortunately, Xander knew about her injury. Hence, he kept the progress slow to wait for her to recover.Rosalie felt bad and decided to do some research to get a clear picture of the project so that she could get started soon after returning to work.While
In the following days, it was Lisa who sent the little boys home. She would see the same runner delivering flowers every day.Even though Roselie had informed her to return the flowers, she would still bring them to Rosalie so that she could have a look first.In Lisa’s eyes, the flowers were Byron's token of affection. Thus, although Rosalie was reluctant to accept them, she should be aware of their existence.After going through this a few times, the runner concluded that it would be better to wait at the doorstep so that there was no need for Lisa to drop by the flower shop to return the flowers later.Since it was the weekend, Rosalie assumed that Bryon would stop sending flowers. However, to her surprise, the doorbell rang early in the morning.Rosalie did not work during the weekends, so there were only the three of them at home at the moment. No one was there to open the door.Prying open her drowsy eyes, Rosalie heard the non-stop ringing and had mixed feelings about it.
Noticing the little ones' doubt, Rosalie became slightly anxious. Nevertheless, she maintained her composure as she held their hands and brought them over to the couch.After resting at home for a week, Rosalie’s leg wound had mostly recovered, so she could walk on her own now.It was just that Lisa and the boys were still worried and insisted that she rested for a couple more days."Mommy, why didn’t you accept the flowers?" The little ones sat with Rosalie on the couch and could not help but ask.Rosalie did not expect they would ask this and was too stunned to answer.The boys saw her strange response and pressed on, asking, "The man didn’t say anything just now. What if he sent the flowers to the wrong place?"Lucian took a glance at his mommy and got off the couch. "I’ll go take a look. What if he really got the address wrong?” As he finished speaking, he walked toward the door.Rosalie’s brows furrowed. "Lucian, come back."The kid seemed to not have heard her and conti
After breakfast, Rosalie spent some time with the little boys for a while before she entered the study.Rosalie was worried the whole time when she was playing with the boys just now, afraid that the florist would send flowers again tomorrow. By then, she might not be able to explain herself.Thinking so, Rosalie called Byron again.Meanwhile, at Lawrence Corporation.Byron was still working overtime in the company. After a week, Byron's office was filled with flower bouquets, which looked out of tune with the office decor.As the number of bouquets increased, the tension in the office atmosphere also increased.When Luther entered the door holding the returned bouquet, the flowers were immediately inserted into a vase."Master, they were returned again." Aware of tension in the office, Luther's heart was tense as he held his breath.Byron coldly glanced over, his eyes darkening.Luther placed the flowers down silently, then backed out cautiously, for fear that any movement wo
Byron’s eyes turned even darker at the darkened mobile phone screen.It was uncertain how much time had passed but Byron dug out the flower shop’s contact number and called."Don’t send the flowers tomorrow. From next week onward, help me send them to Virus Research Institute."The receiver on the other end quickly agreed.On the other hand, although Rosalie had already made things very clear to Byron, she was still worried that he would be adamant in his ways.The next morning, Rosalie got up early and sat in the living room.The boys seemed to have the same idea as her as they went downstairs early and sat beside her.The three were anticipating a delivery.Rosalie's heart was even tenser.Fortunately, after waiting all morning, the doorbell never rang.As the doubts on the boys’ little faces gradually faded away, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that Byron had really listened to her words.The next day, after resting at home for nearly half a month, Rosalie
Yves wanted to report to Rosalie about the progress of the institute's projects thus far, but she had dismissed him."I still have some things to deal with. If there’s nothing important, you can go out now."Rosalie's eyebrows drooped slightly. It was tough to decipher her emotions.Hearing this, Yves frowned slightly and turned his head to look at the rose bouquet on the side.Obviously, Rosalie's mood was affected by this bunch of flowers.In the past, judging from Rosalie's rigorous approach to work, the first thing she would do upon returning to the institute if she was absent for a long time was confirm the progress of the projects with him.Today was different.Thinking of this, the emotions in Yves' eyes were complicated.He had too little interaction with Rosalie that he did not even know who sent the flowers.He was all the more clueless about Rosalie's attitude toward that person.Rosalie raised her eyes, saw Yves still standing in her office, and asked, "What's wro
Rosalie did not manage to respond before she heard him add something indirectly."Besides, didn't you also return the flowers to my company? Or perhaps you’d be interested in coming and listening to what my employees are talking about?" Byron’s tone even sounded a bit righteous.Hearing this, Rosalie choked up slightly, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and replied, "That's because your actions bothered me first, President Lawrence!"Byron just smiled inexplicably. "Miss Jacobs, your actions also bother me very much.""Byron Lawrence!" Rosalie called out his name angrily. "You clearly know what I mean!"Byron's face darkened, but his voice did not waver. "You should know what I mean too. Why won’t you give it a thought?" The two of them kept running around in circles.Rosalie pursed her lips as her head ached. She was silent for a long time before calming herself down. She said in a low voice, "Let's talk face-to-face."She had to rip the band-aid quickly and cou
It was almost time for their meet-up, but Andrius still could not come up with a solution. He could only say, "No matter what, remember to be gentle. You can’t fight fire with fire."Byron frowned and agreed.After hanging up the phone, Byron strode downstairs and drove to Rosalie's research institute.In the afternoon, after Rosalie got off work, she waited for the people in the research institute to leave before getting up and walking toward the door.Halfway through, she remembered, turned around, and took the rose bouquet.Since they were meeting, she might as well return the flowers to Byron in person.Fortunately, she did not meet anyone along the way.Rosalie wanted to head to where she parked in the morning. That was when she saw the Bentley parked at the main entrance of the research institute.The man in the car saw her too. Soon, Byron got out of the car and walked toward her.Rosalie's expression stiffened when she saw him approach her.They made an appointment to
