Rosalie turned around and saw the man pick up the jug of water again. He filled two glasses of water, then put them in front of Lucian and Nox.She was confused by the man’s actions, wondering if this was the boys’ request or if Byron did this to ease the embarrassment just now.Just when her mind was in chaos, a glass of water was suddenly pushed in front of her.Rosalie suddenly came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at the person beside her.Byron just smiled at her inexplicably, adjusted the glass for her, then withdrew his hand and turned to look at the stage.Rosalie looked at the glass in front of her with complicated eyes. After a while, she came back to her senses and thanked the man softly. She felt a little apologetic in her heart for possibly misunderstanding him just now. In order to show that she had no grudge against him, Rosalie took a sip from the glass.The kids in the back saw their interaction and felt that Rosalie seemed to have let down her gu
Rosalie came back to her senses and followed their little footsteps to the fountain.There were already many adults and children playing around. They were surrounded by the laughter of the little ones.Seeing the scene in front of her, Rosalie's face unconsciously broke into a smile as warmth enveloped her.However, when her eyes shifted to Byron who stood on the side, the man seemed out of place.The three little kids were running around inside, but Byron just stood on the side expressionlessly. He just let the kids run around him with no reaction at all like a wooden pole.Seeing this, Rosalie shook her head amusingly. She took the initiative to walk up to the kids and joined in their fun.With her joining in, Byron's surroundings became a lot quieter in an instant.As Byron watched the three little ones playing with Rosalie, his eyes softened as the corners of his lips showed a slight smile."Mommy!""Auntie!" The kids stopped suddenly and stared blankly in Rosalie's dire
"Thank you."Finally, Byron stopped and loosened the hand on her shoulder. Rosalie immediately got out of his arms and stood aside with her arms folded.As she impatiently tried to escape from him, Byron’s eyes darkened.For a while, the atmosphere between the two stiffened.Rosalie did not expect to be alone with Byron, so she was a little flustered. She could only look at the little ones from a distance to divert her attention."It must be a little difficult for you to be here at the concert today, right?"Byron spoke.Hearing this, Rosalie was startled, then subconsciously turned her head to look at the person beside her. Their eyes met.The man frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was a little awkward as if he had thought about it for a long time before saying it.Seeing him like this, Rosalie unconsciously felt apologetic.‘Was I behaving like I was forced?’Rosalie carefully recalled the interaction between them that day and finally had to admit that she se
Rosalie recovered after realization, raised her eyes, and glanced at the man beside her. She felt self-conscious for no reason. "Thank you..."Byron frowned and did not respond, but the hand holding her wrist did not let go.Rosalie struggled lightly twice but did not break away. They attracted the attention of many people around.Under the colorful lights, they saw these two outstandingly attractive people who were impeccably dressed. The man's suit jacket was placed over the woman's long white gown, and he was grabbing the woman's wrist assertively. The two of them looked like a prince and princess fleeing. They looked perfectly matched."Mister."Rosalie wanted to say something so that Byron would let go. Suddenly, a child-like voice spoke.The next second, the man in front stopped. Rosalie also stood still and glanced in the direction of the voice.All they saw was a plainly dressed little girl standing in front of them, holding a large bouquet of flowers. She looked up at t
Rosalie took an instinctive look at the man walking in front of her and then lowered her gaze back to the flowers in her arms as she wondered if she should return them. However, before she managed to speak up, the three little ones ran up to them and were visibly excited when they saw the flowers in her arms. “Where did you get these flowers, Mommy? They’re so beautiful and suit you perfectly!” Nox said sweetly. He knew perfectly well who had given the flowers. Rosalie felt slightly bashful when she heard the little guy’s question and bent forward so she could hand the flowers to Estie. However, when she began moving, she realized that the man was still gripping her wrist. The little ones had obviously noticed that too. Upon realizing that, Rosalie could not stop herself from blushing, but she forced herself to smile calmly in front of the little ones. Then, she shook her wrist soundlessly in an attempt to escape the man’s grasp. She did not expect him to tighten his grip.
Rosalie had no idea Andrea had seen everything she did today.After they got into the car, Rosalie and the little ones sat in their original places. Rosalie held the flowers Byron gave her as she got into the passenger’s seat. Then, a funny feeling washed over her. Compared to the roses Byron had previously delivered to her daily, these flowers were less cared for and were of much more common varieties too. However, Rosalie was much more touched by this bouquet than she had been by the previous ones. The little ones, who were seated in the backseat, were tired out from playing. Only a few sentences were exchanged before they fell silent. Byron glanced at them through the rearview mirror and saw that the little ones had fallen asleep on top of each other despite being seated in their respective car seats. The woman next to him seemed dazed too. He had no idea what was going through her mind as he watched her lean back against the seat and stare out the window. Upon noticing t
When Byron heard her, he frowned and gazed solemnly at the woman with an inquisitive look in his eyes. If he had heard her correctly, the fact the woman was asking such questions meant she was warming up to him. Rosalie’s gaze wavered when the man met her eyes, and she pretended to remain calm as she moved her gaze elsewhere. A brief moment later, Byron’s deep voice rang out. “I’ve never liked her, nor will I ever marry her. So, there’s nothing to explain.”A surprised look briefly appeared in Rosalie’s eyes when she heard that. If this had taken place six years ago, she would never have expected Byron to say such things. He had never liked Wendy? How was that possible… She remembered clearly how Byron had said over and over again that Wendy was the only person he would marry six years ago. He had even gone so far as to give her the silent treatment so she would leave.Since he was saying such things now, what meaning did the things he said six years ago hold? Byron’s g
“Young Master Xander and I…” Rosalie felt a headache creeping upon her as she began speaking. She was just about to explain when there was a sudden movement in the backseat. It sounded like the little ones were waking up. When Rosalie heard the movement in the backseat, she immediately fell silent and turned to look at the little ones. Nox had woken up without them realizing it, and he was rubbing his eyes sleepily.“Mommy…” A while later, the little guy lowered his hands slowly and gazed at his mom with narrowed eyes. He was still dazy from sleep. Rosalie glanced at the man beside her and forced herself to suppress the emotions she felt as she smiled at the little guy. “Have we arrived home?” The little guy said as he sat up to look out the window. When he saw the familiar-looking mansion, he turned and asked his mom confusedly, “Why didn’t you wake us up?” When Rosalie heard the little guy’s question, she recalled the conversation she had just had with Byron and could no
