"We’re both single and unmarried. I wonder where your troubles come from, Miss Jacobs?"After a long while, Byron’s voice sounded in Rosalie's ears.Hearing this answer, Rosalie could not keep the cool on her face anymore. Her eyebrows furrowed suddenly. "If I remember correctly, it’s you who often reminds me that I should think about my two children."Byron’s expression did not change. "I’m only reminding you to stay away from those strange men."Rosalie just felt confused and utterly frustrated. "Who are you to control me? I don't think you have the right to interfere with my private life!"After hearing her words, the man on the opposite frowned with a strange expression on his face.The next second, Byron’s voice sounded in Rosalie's ears. "I’m your suitor. Do I qualify to interfere with your plans now?"Rosalie was stunned and even doubted her ears. "What are you talking about?"Byron frowned. He had already put his whole self out. He did not mind finishing what he started
"Yes, I adore Estie too. But that doesn't mean I'll be willing to marry you just because of her."Rosalie kept speaking. "The experience six years ago is still vivid in my head. I won't let myself repeat the same mistakes. You don’t need to waste your efforts anymore."She could feel his sharp and deep gaze falling on her, making her heart inexplicably tense.Fortunately, she was able to finish what she wanted to say.Byron stared at her for a long time and tried to explain himself. The words had already reached his lips, but they were all blocked by Rosalie's last words.Six years ago, he owed this woman too much and hurt her too deeply.It was understandable that she did not believe him.No matter how much he said, the woman might not be able to accept, and she might still feel that he was just giving excuses.Thinking of this, Byron frowned and switched gears instead. "It was my fault that I used Estie as an excuse before. I’m sorry. As for whether I really like you, you can
As she struggled with the dilemma on the spot for a while, Rosalie carried the flowers back to the office.It was not because she had decided to accept Byron but because the flowers were still so fresh, so it would be a waste to throw them away.This was also the reason why she chose to return the flowers to Byron before.She was unsure how Byron handled the returned flowers. She wondered whether they were really thrown into the trash as he said.Just when her mind was idling with these random thoughts, there was a knock on her office door.Rosalie came back to her senses and replied softly.After a while, someone pushed the door and entered.Seeing the person at the door, Rosalie's eyes flashed with surprise. "Young Master Xander, why are you here?"Xander's lips upturned slightly, revealing a smile. "I happened to be doing errands nearby, and I heard that you came by the research institute. So, I’m just popping by to check on how your injury is doing."Rosalie pursed her lip
After Xander left, Rosalie got up, found a vase, and put the roses in it.Looking at the roses in the vase, all her bottled-up thoughts that were suppressed just now finally flooded out in an instant.Rosalie frowned slightly and sat back at her desk distraught. She looked at the information on the screen, trying to force herself to work hard.However, after reading for a long time, not a word entered her brain.When it was time to get off work, Rosalie, who always worked overtime, went home early.When she was in the office, she could not help but look at the bunch of roses on the table. The more she looked at them, the more confused she became.Back home, before Lisa and the little boys came back, Rosalie took over the job of making dinner so that she could distract herself.Just after dinner was done, the door of the villa opened."You're back?" Rosalie set the meal and glanced at the door with a smile.The little ones saw her at home, and their eyes were full of joy. "Momm
On the other hand, Byron wanted to pick up Estie after work but received a call from Andrius asking him to have dinner.Byron wanted to refuse, but then he reconsidered. These two days, the topics they talked about were basically related to Rosalie.Maybe tonight would be no exception.Thinking of this, he agreed in a deep voice.Byron hung up the phone and ordered Luther to pick up and send the little one home, while he drove to the appointment.When he got there, Andrius was already waiting in his seat.Andrius waved to his buddy when he arrived, indicating where he was sitting.Byron strode over."How did it go? I hope you didn’t quarrel with Dr. Jacobs at noon today."Andrius' concerned voice sounded as soon as he sat down.Hearing this, Byron could not help but think of the woman's repeated refusals during lunch. His face sank slightly.Seeing his expression, Andrius was taken aback. "Not very good?" Byron frowned, "The process wasn’t very pleasant, but I'm not sure a
Andrius gave Byron a few more ideas. Seeing that it was almost time, the two called it a day.Coming out of the restaurant, Byron looked at the two concert tickets in his hand, and his eyes darkened.Although he felt that Rosalie's heart was shaken, he was also aware that she was unwilling to accept the flowers at noon today.If he rashly offered to go to the concert together, the woman would definitely refuse.Unless… Estie suggested it.That woman had never refused the little one.Thinking of this, Byron’s eyes squinted slightly as he sped up the car to return to Lawrence Manor.When he got home, the little one had just finished eating and was sprawled on the table drawing while Mrs. Zora stayed by the side."Master." Seeing him coming back, Mrs. Zora respectfully said hello and gave up the seat next to the little one.Estie just looked up at the door and called out in her childish voice, "Daddy."Then, she lowered her head and continued to draw.Since Rosalie was injured,
When the little one spoke of Wendy, Byron’s eyes darkened.No wonder Rosalie still refused to accept him. Even the little one knew that the entanglement between him and Wendy had not been resolved. Rosalie would be the last person to forget this.In any case, he must speed up and resolve his mother's obsession with Wendy.Thinking of this, Byron put away his thoughts and asked the little one in a serious tone, "Do you like Auntie Wendy?" The little one shook her head vigorously as flashbacks ran through her mind.‘I don’t like that mean lady! That mean lady only treats me well in front of Daddy! She would pinch my arm behind Daddy’s back and spank my buttocks!’Byron nodded knowingly. He promised the little girl. "I won't marry someone you don't like."The little girl's eyes lit up again."However, if you want Auntie Rosalie to be your Mommy, I'm afraid you have to help me." Byron looked at her meaningfully.Hearing this, the little one was puzzled again and tilted her head i
Early the next morning, Rosalie freshened up and came out of the bedroom when she saw two little boys waiting at her bedroom door."Mommy!" The little boys’ eyes were bright as they were looking forward to Mommy sending them to school.Thinking of their words last night, Rosalie felt her heart soften. She lowered her eyes and touched their heads. "Let’s go down for breakfast. I’ll send you to school later."The boys nodded vigorously.At breakfast, they were also very well-behaved.After breakfast, Rosalie changed clothes and sent the little ones to kindergarten early.The gate of the kindergarten was full of children and parents.Rosalie looked around, and indeed many of them were picked up and dropped off by their parents.‘A while ago, because of my own issues with Byron, I made the boys go home with Nanny Lisa. They must have felt very sad in those few days.’Thinking of this, Rosalie's eyes were remorseful."Miss Jacobs! Long time no see. I heard from Lucian and Nox that
