Chapter 697 Is This Appropriate?
Mary was stunned for a moment when she heard the little one’s impish voice, her eyes full of emotion.She remembered that the last time they met, the little girl had refused to open her mouth. During dinner, others even said that she was non-verbal.Mary never expected when they met again, the little one had changed so much. Not only did she speak, but her voice was lovely and her laughter was soft and sweet.Seeing such a cute little girl in front of her, Mary could not help but pat the little girl's head with a smile. “You’re so sweet.”Estie smiled until her eyes turned into crescent lines. When Mary got up from her, she turned her eyes to the takeaway on the table again, her little face was full of curiosity.Throughout her sheltered childhood, the little girl had only eaten food prepared by her caretaker in the family. If not, it was her Grandma herself who personally prepared her food. She didn't even know what takeout was, let alone what a family bucket was.Seeing that th
Chapter 698 Remember To Help Me Keep A Secret
Rosalie still could not believe her ears. She was stunned for a few seconds before smiling gratefully. "Then it’s better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously. I’ll do my best for this cooperation."Xander raised the teacup in front of him. "Then I'll drink tea in place of wine now. Thank you on behalf of all the partners. Cheers.” Rosalie smiled and clinked her cup with his, thinking of how Xander had helped her during this period. She was overwhelmed with a burst of gratitude in her heart.She must say that every time she met with Xander and Leon, they always had endless topics to talk about.Perhaps this was the advantage of being in the same industry!Thinking of this, Rosalie could not help but think of another man.Every time she was with Byron, their conversations always ended unpleasantly...Thinking of Byron, the smile on Rosalie's face also faded.Xander was paying attention to the person in front of him and saw the change in her expression. Although he
Chapter 699 It's Enough To Eat With Me
Halfway through the meal, Xander went out to answer the phone.After he came back, he looked at Rosalie apologetically. "Sorry, Grandpa told me to go back. I don't know what's going on."Hearing this, Rosalie smiled coolly. "Since Grandpa Lancer is looking for you, then you’d better go quickly. I’ll go back by myself in a while."Xander apologized again, then got up and left.Rosalie ate for a while and glanced at the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She was still worried thinking of the three little ones at home, so she did not stay any longer and got up to get the bill."The gentleman had already settled the bill just now," the cashier said with a smile.Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be taken aback.They clearly agreed that this meal was to express her gratitude to Xander.That man actually paid the bill himself..."By the way, this was given to you by that gentleman. You’re so lucky." The cashier took out a bunch of flowers from behind and looke
Chapter 700 Take Initiative To Apologize
Rosalie: [Thank you, but that's what I should do. We’ll have to work together a lot in the future, Young Master Xander. You can't be so polite to me every time.]Rosalie came back to her senses and replied. Xander smiled noncommittally. Xander: [Indeed, this is a one-time deal.]As soon as he replied, there was movement upstairs.Xander put away his mobile phone and looked up, only to see Old Master Lancer supported by a middle-aged man as he walked downstairs. The two of them were talking as they walked."Grandpa, Uncle Hector." Xander frowned when he saw that man but still respectfully greeted him like someone with a good upbringing.The man was Stacy's father, Hector Hudson.‘This man came to the Lancer family’s home, and Grandpa asked me to come home so urgently. I can easily guess the purpose of this meeting.‘It’s nothing more than them being a lobbyist for the farce that Stacy made before.’Xander felt annoyed and bored as he thought of the chaos that night.Hearing
Chapter 701 What Is The Relationship
"I remember I should have Dr. Jacobs’ contact information. If you won't do it, I can do it all the same,” Old Master Lancer said slowly.Hearing this, Xander's face was full of helplessness.The old man's words were clearly a threat.Rather than letting Rosalie and Stacy meet without his knowledge, it was better for him to be present, lest Stacy did anything outrageous.Thinking of this, Xander eventually agreed. "Alright then. I’ll try to contact Miss Jacobs, but I don't know if she’ll agree to it."Uncle Hector's face was full of smiles. "Then I'll need to trouble you. Once the young lady replies, please let me know."Xander agreed coldly.Uncle Hector chatted with the old man for a while, exchanged a few words of concern about the recent situation of the Lancer family, then got up and said goodbye.After coming out of the Lancer family’s house, the smile on Hector's face gradually faded away, replaced by melancholy.That night, Stacy was so drunk that she was sent back home
Chapter 702 Eat Less Next Time
"Hello, Uncle Byron," Lucian and Nox greeted him after realizing it was him.Byron nodded slightly, then frowned and asked, "Your mommy hasn't come back yet?" The little boys nodded obediently and looked at each other cautiously with some guilty conscience in their eyes.Just now, they thought it was Mommy who came back. They almost called out for Mommy when they opened the door.Fortunately, Little Estie spoke first, so they did not embarrass themselves.Hearing this, the folds between Byron's brows deepened. "Then what did you eat for lunch?"As he spoke, Byron glanced at the room. When he saw the family bucket on the table, his expression abruptly sank."We had chicken drumsticks! They were delicious!" Estie quipped, engrossed in the excitement of having fast food for the first time. She was oblivious to her Daddy’s horrified expression.Byron heard his own daughter, and his deep eyes darkened as he looked down at the three little ones again.He saw the three little faces
Chapter 703 Went Out On A Date
Just when the little ones tried to bargain with Byron, there were sounds of footsteps at the door.Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at the door.They saw Rosalie standing at the door holding a bunch of flowers. The expression on her face seemed a little confused."Mommy!" Lucian and Nox greeted her excitedly when they saw their mommy had come back.Rosalie frowned at the man standing in the living room.‘Byron... How could he be here…’Rosalie subconsciously glanced at the flowers in her arms, feeling a little guilty for some reason.Byron also noticed the flowers she was holding in her arms. The numbness after being badgered repeatedly by the kids just now slowly faded away.The flowers he sent before… This woman had returned them all.At this moment, the bouquet of flowers in her arms was obviously given by someone else. It was very likely by either Leon or Xander, and she brought it home calmly.‘What the hell does this woman take me for?!’"Mommy?"Nox did no
Chapter 704 The Flower Language Of Lilies
Rosalie's expression froze as he repeatedly mentioned the word ‘date.’"Since you didn’t have time, you should’ve told me earlier and let me pick Estie up,” Byron said sharply.Hearing her daddy's tone, Estie knew that her daddy was angry, and she could not help but feel anxious. "Daddy!"Byron’s eyes darkened, and he looked down at the little girl beside him, realizing that his tone seemed a little cold.It was true that he was furious when he saw the flowers in the woman's arms.However, in the eyes of the woman, he probably had no reason to be angry."Estie, I'm sorry. I didn't come back to accompany you earlier." Rosalie chose to ignore the man in the living room and looked down at Estie, her face full of apology.Hearing Auntie apologize to her, the little girl shook her head quickly. "It's good that you’re back now, and besides, fried chicken drumsticks are delicious! Estie loves them!"After that, the little girl raised her eyes in protest and glanced at her daddy.‘It’
