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
Estie pouted as a sorrowful expression appeared on her face. “I can go with the boys, and I won’t need you to take care of me, Auntie.” Seeing how the little one was still insisting, Rosalie felt a headache begin to form as she said in a persuading tone, “Estie, why don’t you come some other day? I’ll promise I’ll spend time with you then. I really don’t have the time today.” The little one was just about to reply when Byron said coldly, “Estie, Auntie has already told you she doesn’t have time today, so stop bothering her.” Byron was not in the best mood since Rosalie had mentioned the Lancer family just now and thus sounded more solemn.Estie was frightened by her father’s tone, and her innocent eyes widened. She did not dare say anything else and merely stared at Rosalie with a pitiful look on her face.The cold breeze had woken up Lucian and Nox. They both felt frightened when they heard their dad speaking so solemnly. The two boys exchanged glances and thought to themsel
Rosalie came back to her senses at this. She accepted the flowers from the little girl's hand, her emotions complicated. Glancing at the man in front of her, she uttered softly, "Thank you."A sweet smile appeared on the little girl’s face when she saw her accept the flower.Byron showed no expression. He just urged Estie, saying, "Close the door, it's time for us to go."Hearing this, the little girl nodded obediently and reached out to close the door."President Lawrence, Estelle is still a child. You should soften your tone when you talk to her in the future." Rosalie could not help but remind him.She realized through her interactions with the father-daughter pair during this time that although Byron was meticulous when it came to the little girl, there were times when he spoke to the little girl in a harsh tone.Sometimes, her own children would be frightened, let alone Estelle who did not have a good mental state. She pointed it out with good intentions, but unexpectedly,
Fuller Household.When Wendy saw the photos Andrea had sent in the afternoon, she was so angry that she even skipped dinner. She locked herself in her room, stewing in her anger.Unexpectedly, she received several new photos from Andrea just when she was about to go to bed.In the photos, the man she could not see despite her best efforts was putting a coat on Rosalie, buying her flowers, and holding her by the wrist...No matter how one looked at the photos, both of them looked like an intimate couple!Wendy was instantly enraged when she saw these photos.Were they even respecting her, the fiancee, by behaving like this?!If this were to spread out, she would lose all dignity. She would not be able to become Mrs. Lawrence as she wished either!Thinking of this, Wendy's expression was grisly."B*tch! Why did you have to come back?!"Wendy got up from her bed abruptly and threw everything on the table to the ground!Downstairs, seeing that her daughter had not come downstair
Needless to say, Wendy thought so as well.Hearing what Magdalene said, Wendy frowned and asked in a muffled voice, "But, what else can I do now?"In the photo, Byron was already so close to the Jacobs woman!Magdalene pondered for a moment. "We have to settle the matter between you and Byron before the two of them reconcile completely!"Wendy's expression was becoming uglier and uglier. As if she did not already know what she had to do, she just did not know how to go about it. Magdalene might as well not have said anything.Magdalene was unaware of what she was thinking. She was still contemplating seriously, searching for a solution for her.After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Regardless, you can't allow them to get in touch like this anymore! Instead, you have to stay by Byron’s side, so that he won't have the chance to meet that Jacobs woman."Hearing this, Wendy snorted. "I have thought of this too. However, Byron has been ignoring me completely during this time
