Rosalie was so frightened by his sudden action that she did not dare to move. Now that she saw the man approaching her, she was like a frightened cat, desperately trying to break free. However, her hands were easily taken by the man and clutched behind her back. She could not break free."Byron Lawrence, wake up!" Rosalie's eyes were full of panic as she watched their lips getting closer and closer. Her voice was strained as she pleaded.Byron approached her nonchalantly.It was not until the distance between the two was so close that she could feel each other's breath and Rosalie's heart was about to stop that she finally felt the man stopping.Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief and carefully turned her face to the side to look at the man’s expression to confirm whether he was awake.As soon as she turned her head, she met his clear eyes."Sorry, I wasn’t fully awake just now."Byron deeply concealed the smile in his eyes, and his face was apologetic.After speaking, he let go of
"Mommy!"The kids were concerned about the two adults getting along inside, and they did not have the heart to play. When they saw Rosalie suddenly come out, they came straight to her.Rosalie smiled and patted their heads with a somewhat absent-minded expression on her face.Seeing Auntie’s appearance, Estie tilted her head in confusion and glanced behind Rosalie but did not see her father.The little one said cautiously, "Auntie, did Daddy bully you?"Hearing the little one mention the man inside, Rosalie unconsciously frowned. She shrugged it off and smiled. She shook her head. "No, darling."The little one looked at her face with suspicion in her eyes. "Where's Daddy?"Rosalie turned to look in the direction of the living room. "He just woke up. Maybe… he’s still sitting on the sofa."After speaking, she immediately retracted her gaze and wanted to change the subject.The little girl did not give her this chance at all and pressed forward. "Can you cure Daddy's insomnia?"
Rosalie did not know what the little one whispered in Byron's ear, but after the little girl finished speaking, the man gave her a meaningful look. He then looked at the little one and replied in a low voice, "No."Everyone looked at the man.Byron had an innocent expression of disobedience. Meanwhile, the little girl in front of him was full of suspicion.When she was in the backyard just now, the question the little girl asked her flashed in Rosalie's mind.Combined with the expressions of the man and the little girl, Rosalie could guess what they were talking about.Thinking of the little girl being so obsessed with standing up for her, Rosalie was amused and helpless. After a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward. "Estie is very worried about you, so I'd better take a look at your condition for you."The implication was that she only decided to help him with his insomnia for the sake of the little girl.Hearing this, Byron raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little
Although Estie was reluctant, knowing that Daddy was pursuing Auntie and they would come here often in the future, she obediently got off the sofa. She softly bade goodbye to Rosalie, then left with Byron.Rosalie and the two little boys watched Byron’s car drive away, then they turned back to the villa.The little boys had been up playing for a day. Plus, they had been worrying about the two adults. Now that they had settled down, they started to yawn non-stop.It was getting late, so Rosalie simply tucked the boys into bed. She then went into the study again.As the top medical family in Somerland, the Lancer family had attracted much attention despite being low-profile for many years.With the research institute built this time, it was no longer a secret as soon as it was completed.For this cooperation, the Lancer family did not intend to keep a low profile. They would soon reveal the list of partners to the public.At that time, for ordinary people in Somerland, this list n
After he hung up the phone, Xander sent a message directly to Hector and informed him that Rosalie had agreed to meet.Without waiting for Hector to reply, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.The next morning, as soon as Hector woke up, he saw the message from Xander.Seeing Rosalie's affirmative answer, the boulder that had been pressing on Hector's heart for a few days finally eased.If he guessed correctly, Byron took action against the Hudson family because his daughter had provoked Rosalie.As long as she got her forgiveness, the Hudson family could also get out of this crisis.Thinking of this, Hector breathed a sigh of relief.At breakfast, seeing that his spoiled bratty daughter was fashionably late again, Hector wanted to lecture her as usual. However, he thought about having to tell her this, so he changed his mind and held his tongue."I’ve made an appointment with the lady you provoked a few days ago through Xander. Find a time and apologize to her face-to-fa
Rosalie thought that the list of partners of the Lancer family would not be announced until a few days later.Unexpectedly, as soon as she woke up the next morning, Leon's call came in.Rosalie picked it up in a daze."Have you seen it? The Lancer family has announced the list of partners." As soon as the call was connected, Leon spoke.Hearing this, Rosalie was wide awake. "Why did they release it so suddenly?"She was not ready yet...Leon smiled. "I don't know either, but I heard that there may be a project kick-off press conference in two days. There may be reporters present, and it’s necessary to prepare well for this. Reporters now can be very tricky, and no one knows what questions they’ll ask, especially toward a newcomer like you without much background."Rosalie responded gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me, Leon. I’ll prepare well."On the other end, Leon followed up and said, "Congratulations, Dr. Jacobs. Now, you’ll be making a name for yourself here in Somerla
Stacy also saw the news.When she saw Rosalie's name on the cooperation list, Stacy's face became extremely ugly.Not only was this woman really cooperating with Xander, but her name was even placed so high. This kept Stacy thinking about the distance between Rosalie and Xander that night.‘What right does she have?!’Staring at Rosalie's name on the screen for a long time, a shadow flashed across Stacy's eyes.She wanted everyone to see the true colors of that b*tch!‘She’s nothing but a woman who relies solely on her face. I don’t know what drug she gave Xander, but he actually gave her a ranking on the list.‘That woman thinks she’s all that now!‘Let's wait until I expose her true colors, then I’ll see how she’ll survive in the domestic medical field in the future!‘At that time, even if Xander likes that face of hers, he’ll definitely not be able to be with that woman!’Thinking of the scene where Rosalie was spurned by the crowd, Stacy felt relieved for a while.With
Meanwhile, Rosalie asked Mary to pick up the two little boys so she could make it to her appointment on time. She spotted Xander’s car the minute she left the house. The man got out of the car the minute he saw her coming out of the house. After looking behind her, he asked in a slightly disappointed voice, “The little guys aren’t home from school yet?” Rosalie nodded. “I asked a friend to go pick them up. Is there a reason you’re looking for them, Young Master Xander?” Xander nodded his head noncommittally. “I prepared gifts for them, but let’s forget it since they aren’t here. I’ll pass the presents to them myself the next time we meet.” Rosalie was surprised when she heard he had really prepared gifts for the little guys. She had not expected Xander to be that thoughtful. “Yes, it would only be appropriate for you to hand the gifts over when you prepared them yourself, Young Master Xander,” Rosalie said once she had regathered her thoughts. She pressed her lips together
