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
That night, Melody was about to rest when she suddenly received a call from Magdalene.She heard Magdalene’s choked up voice and Henry's roar in the background the moment the call connected."Magdalene, what's the matter? Did you get into a fight with Henry?" Melody asked with concern.Magdalene glanced at both father and daughter who were acting to the side, took a deep breath, and pretended to be choked up. "Henry is mad at Wendy. Please come over, Wendy will not listen to anyone anymore, I think she’d only be able to take in your advice..."Hearing this, Melody frowned as she listened for a moment. She really did catch Wendy's sobbing in the background.Melody had already been very concerned about Wendy since the accident the last time. When she heard her crying, her heart immediately clenched. "Don't panic, just tell me what's going on properly. Why are you all arguing so badly?""Of course it’s because..." Magdalene paused midway and sighed heavily, "Anyway, come over and ta
Byron still wanted to refuse after she said that, but his mother had hung up the phone.The darkened mobile phone screen reflected Byron’s furrowed brows.After a long pause, Byron put away the phone before picking up his feet and walking downstairs.Although he was reluctant, his mother had spoken to such a point that he had no choice."Sir?" Downstairs, Mrs. Zora looked puzzled when she saw him going out at night.Byron nodded to her. "I'll be heading out, watch over Estelle."Mrs. Zora agreed and watched him exit the gates of the villa.Half an hour later, Byron appeared at the door of the Fuller’s villa. He lifted his hand and knocked on the door.He thought that they were quarreling inside and that it would take a while before someone came to open the door. Unexpectedly, someone inside opened the door practically immediately after the doorbell rang. "Byron, why are you here?" Magdalene looked at the person at the door, her expression somewhat stunned but also a little
