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
"I won't! I waited for Byron for six years! Why should I dissolve my engagement with him!"Wendy protested, all choked up with red eyes. After she said that, she then looked toward Byron’s direction, aggrieved.Meeting her gaze, he frowned deeply.If this were a different scene, he would definitely have a showdown with the Fullers.However, with the Fullers making such a fuss over this matter now, of course it would not be good for him to say anything.On the other end, Henry had managed to tamp his anger down but when he heard his daughter say this again, he slammed the table viciously. "Then get out of this house! Come back only when you’ve cleared your head! Get out!"After saying that, Henry walked out from behind the desk with a dark expression. He strode out of the study and when he walked to Byron's side, he nodded to him.Byron frowned. Seeing Henry striding away, Wendy cried breathlessly in the study.Magdalene on the other hand, just looked at her husband and then at
On the other side, Byron drove Wendy away from the Fuller household.Wendy sat in the passenger's seat. She was still acting, gaze lowered as she wiped her tears. She was sobbing as she hoped to gain Byron’s attention.Byron, of course, noticed the sobbing individual beside him, but he was not prepared to say anything.After all, he already knew the reason for Wendy's fight with Henry. If he really were to say something, it was likely that Wendy would only cry more.Seeing that she had not gotten a word of concern out of Byron after crying for so long, Wendy’s heart gradually cooled down and she stopped sobbing. She turned her head and looked out the car window, pretending to be upset.Seeing the scenery outside the window, Wendy's expression suddenly changed. She turned back and there was still tearfulness in her voice. "Byron, it's late, aren't we going home yet?"Hearing this, he replied without changing his expression, "I'll reserve a suite for you. You can stay there for two
The elevator door slowly opened after they reached the top.Byron came back to his senses. He picked up his feet and stepped out of the elevator. Seeing the dimly lit corridor, he frowned slightly.Wendy followed behind him quietly.Arriving at the door to the suite, Byron swiped the key card and opened the door for her before stopping. He looked at her calmly and waited for her to enter by herself.Wendy was stunned for a moment. She then looked up at the person beside her, as if asking him why he was not going in."I'll feel sorry for you these few days. I'll have a good talk with Uncle Henry and get him to calm down faster," Byron said indifferently, turning a blind eye to the question in her expression.Hearing this, there was visible disappointment on Wendy's face. "Byron, could it be that you do not want to say anything about why I argued with my father?"Byron’s expression constricted slightly. "What I want to say is probably something you do not want to hear now. Go in a
After watching the elevator descend to the first floor, Wendy got up from the ground in a daze and went back to her room.She spent some amount of time sitting in the room when the phone beside her suddenly rang.Wendy snapped back to her senses and glanced at the caller ID. It was her mother. She did not even need to think to know what she was going to say.Wendy had no plans of accepting the call. She just watched the screen light up momentarily before going dark again.After a while, the phone rang again.A few more times after, Wendy answered the phone irritably."Wendy, why didn’t you answer your phone for such a long time? What have you been doing? Have you not reached their home?" Magdalene's concern came the moment the call connected. Hearing this, mockery crossed Wendy’s face. Her mother still thought that she had really gone to Lawrence Manor until now.On the other end, Magdalene did not get an answer from her after a long time and so, urged again with confusion, "W
Rosalie knew nothing about what Wendy and her mother were thinking.After playing with the children the entire day, and spending a lot of time dealing with Byron, Rosalie practically fell asleep the moment she laid down.The next morning, she was woken up by the phone ringing.Rosalie opened her eyes in a daze and answered the phone without looking at who was calling."Miss Jacobs, are you up? There may be something I need to trouble you to come over for."Xander's voice rang out the moment the call connected.Hearing Xander's voice, Rosalie abruptly sobered up before asking him with a frown, "What happened?"She did not interact with Xander much on a personal level. Hence, all Rosalie could think of that would make Xander come looking for her was the partnership. Otherwise, it was also a medical matter.The matters that were related to these two were not trivial ones.On the other end, Xander said in a deep voice, "Do you remember the little boy named Pippin from the last fre
