There was another moment of silence in the car.Suddenly, Rosalie's phone lit up. It was a message.Leon: [ Are you home?]Even though Leon was not in front of her, Rosalie smiled politely at his concern.Rosalie: [I’m still on the way.] Leon: [Buzz me when you get home.]Rosalie: [Okay, sure.]Rosalie smiled as she clicked away on her phone.On the side, Byron noticed the light and turned his head for a glance. He saw the light smile on Rosalie's face and followed her gaze, only to see the note at the top of the screen—Leon Martin.Obviously, this woman was sending a message to Leon.Seeing this, Byron's slightly lightened mood sank again.‘What did I do wrong? This woman is smiling so happily just returning a message to Leon, but whenever she’s with me, she always looks like she’s facing a formidable enemy!’Thinking of this, Byron's inner turmoil gradually increased.When Rosalie was done sending messages and had put away the phone, she was sensitively aware that the a
After Rosalie finished speaking, she realized she had gone a little too far.She thought Byron would refute her coldly, but she did not hear the man's voice for a while.She only felt the lingering storm in the car.Just when she was hesitating whether to say another sentence, the man's slightly helpless voice sounded in her ear."Well then, Miss Jacobs, would you mind putting me and other suitors in the same position? Don't treat me differently."Byron really had no choice but to make concessions after thinking for a long time.Hearing these words suddenly, Rosalie's heart shrank suddenly. She even doubted her ears.‘How could someone so arrogant say such a humble thing?’“If Young Master Martin is your so-called other pursuer, will you please treat me like how you treat him? After all, we have known each other no less than you and Young Master Martin have known each other."Byron furrowed his brows, unsure what mood he was in when he said these words. "I know I’ve done you w
As soon as she entered the door, there was movement upstairs."Mommy!" The two boys came out of the bedroom, ran down thumping, stood in front of her, and looked at her with strange expressions on their faces.Rosalie's mood was still a little heavy. When she met their eyes, she just barely managed to put away her thoughts. "What's wrong, my babies?"She only saw the little ones looking at the door curiously, but she was not sure what they were looking at.After a while, they withdrew their gazes with disappointed faces."What are you looking at?" Rosalie was puzzled.The little boys looked up at their mommy, their faces were full of disappointment. "Mommy, isn't Estie here?"Hearing this, Rosalie was puzzled again, wondering why the little guys suddenly brought up Estie."It's so late now. She must be sleeping." The two boys tilted their heads. "But didn't Uncle Byron send you back just now? Didn't Estie come along too?" The boys were worried about Rosalie as it was late
Rosalie calmed down for a few seconds before replying to the message. Rosalie: [What do you mean? I already promised the child about the concert.]The reply was immediate. Byron: [I just thought that maybe you’d be busy with the Lancer family for a while. So if you really don't have time, I don’t want to force you.]Seeing the last sentence, Rosalie had a vague guess in her heart.Perhaps Byron suddenly brought up this matter because of what she told him in the car, asking him to stop forcing her.To him, Rosalie only agreed to go to the concert because Estie had repeatedly requested it. That meant she had no choice but to agree, which was considered forced.‘So, is he making up for previous mistakes?’The thought that this man would actually make a change because of her words gave Rosalie many odd feelings. She almost believed what Byron said about pursuing her.Realizing her train of thought, Rosalie snapped back to her senses, lowered her eyes to collect her thoughts, and
Early the next morning, Rosalie was woken up by the laughter downstairs.Last night, her mind was a mess and she fell asleep in a daze. Now, she was woken up involuntarily, and she only felt a terrible headache.Looking at the time, Rosalie wanted to lay down for a while to catch up on her sleep, but the noise downstairs did not seem to stop.Helpless, Rosalie had no choice but to get up from the bed with blurry eyes.Looking down from upstairs, she saw Mary, the children’s godmother, messing around with the boys in the living room.Seeing this, Rosalie sighed helplessly.This woman… They lived so close to each other, but she had not heard from her in a while. It had to be today that she came and disturb her sleep..."Mommy!" The boys noticed the movement of her door and looked up.Mary also raised her head. Seeing her friend’s sickly complexion, the smile on her face turned into worry. "Did we wake you up?"Rosalie skipped the pleasantries and nodded directly, then raised her
Rosalie giggled when she heard her best friend’s complaints.Mary hugged the two boys with both arms emotionally. "I've been busy for too long. When I see these two little babies, I feel so much better!”Then, she kissed the boys hard on the cheeks.Boys being boys, the two little ones tried to worm their way out of her arms."Why don’t we go out tomorrow? Ever since you got back from overseas, we never had time to have fun. Tomorrow is a weekend. Let me take you all out for a day!" Mary invited them with a look of anticipation. The boys’ eyes lit up when they heard of an opportunity to go out. They looked at Mommy eagerly.Rosalie was troubled by their expectations. "Tomorrow... I'm afraid it’s not possible." The three eager faces collapsed in unison at Rosalie’s answer.Mary looked at her with an exaggerated expression. "Don't tell me you have to work tomorrow."Rosalie shook her head. "It's not work."She only said it was not work-related but did not specify exactly. Mar
She had no idea whatever happened between these two people during this time.However, seeing Rosalie's reaction, Mary could see that her best friend must be troubled by this relationship.Mary was silent for a few seconds, then became serious. "If that's the case, why don't you... think about it and give it another try with him?"She was a bystander, so it was easier for her to accept Byron’s intention to pursue Rosalie than Rosalie herself.After Rosalie returned to Somerland, Mary had also witnessed the two getting along several times. She had to admit that there seemed to be an aura between them that made it hard for others to intrude.If Byron had really changed his mind and wanted to make up for the damage six years ago, Mary would not mind her best friend accepting him and giving him another chance.Moreover, she could also see that Rosalie had no way of completely rejecting Byron because of the bond with the kids.In this case, the better option was to follow along and gi
After consoling Rosalie, Mary snapped right into her senses. “So, I was right? Byron really wants to get back together?"Rosalie was stunned by Mary’s huge reaction. She came back to her senses and smiled casually. "I don't know what he thinks. Maybe it's only because Estie really likes me, so he’s trying to get close to me."Mary felt that her guesses were not far from the truth. She looked at her best friend solemnly. "I'm serious. Just give the two of you another try. Treat it as a chance to make up for the regrets six years ago."Hearing this, Rosalie pondered for a long time before she forced a smile. "Alright, thank you."Mary got up and hugged her. "If you have any trouble, you can tell me at any time. Don't keep it to yourself."Rosalie agreed with a smile.Mary also knew that she still needed time to think about it, so she did not speak anymore. She just sat quietly and waited for her to finish her breakfast.After breakfast, the two played with the little guys at home
