That night, Byron took Estie home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother and Wendy sitting on the sofa.Seeing them coming back, Melody's anger did not diminish, but Wendy looked embarrassed. She got up and greeted, "Byron, Estie, you’re back."Byron nodded at her expressionlessly. He immediately turned and looked at his mother.After seeing the woman, Estie timidly shrank behind her father and did not even say hello to Melody."Mom, why are you here?" Byron held Estie's hand with one hand, silently comforting the little one. At the same time, he asked in a deep voice.Hearing her son's question, Melody's expression became uglier. "The cheek of you to ask what we’re doing here! I entrusted Wendy to you. It's fine if you didn’t take her home to stay with you, but now that her old injury has recurred, you didn’t even go take a look!"Byron could not help but have a headache. "I’ve sent someone to take her to the hospital, but she didn’t want to go."He did send someone
Byron frowned, already knowing what she was going to say. He waited for her to speak first."My stance is the same. Wendy is a girl. It's not easy to wait for you for six years. No matter what, you can't let her down!" Melody looked serious.She had said this so many times that when Byron heard it, he only felt a headache. He was not in the mood to argue with his mother anymore.Melody was still talking to herself, and he was just silent.…In the villa, Estie looked at the woman sitting on the sofa and timidly grabbed the hem of Mrs. Zora's clothes, her face full of vigilance.Wendy noticed the resistance shown by the little girl and felt slight displeasure, but she still pretended to be kind. "Estie, look. I brought you a gift."After speaking, Wendy took out a doll from her bag. "Look, do you like it?" The little girl shook her head without hesitation.‘I’ll never like any gifts from Mean Auntie!’Seeing the little girl shaking her head, Wendy's face stiffened for a momen
Estie was just hiding behind Mrs. Zora before, but when Wendy said that she would be her mommy in the future, the little one’s face changed suddenly. She glared at the woman angrily, stepped out with her tiny legs, and ran upstairs by herself.Looking at the little girl’s back, Wendy's brows furrowed suddenly. The expression on her face was hideous.Seeing the little one running away, Mrs. Zora breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wendy, "Little Lady has always been emotionally unstable. Miss Fuller, please don’t take it to heart."Hearing this, Wendy smiled reluctantly at her.Just when Wendy was annoyed, there was movement at the door of the villa as Byron walked in from outside."Byron, has Auntie left?" Wendy quickly adjusted her expression and looked at the person at the door pitifully.Byron looked up at her and nodded flatly. He then looked at Mrs. Zora. "Where's Estie?"‘Before I went out, I clearly ordered Mrs. Zora to take care of the little one. What's going on now?’
Wendy's face sank deeper as she watched Byron’s back leave.Although Byron agreed to let her stay in the manor, judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he planned to ignore her existence.‘I will never allow that!’At the same time, Byron came out of the room, strode to Estie’s bedroom door, and knocked. "Estie darling, open the door."In the room, Estie heard her Daddy's voice and thought about what Wendy said just now. She turned away angrily with her back against the bedroom door.Byron waited for a while, but there was no response. He knew that the little one was sulking again and could not help but have a headache.That night, his mother and daughter took turns giving him problems...After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. Byron went straight to get the key to the door, then he opened it and entered.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the little one with her back to the door. She was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees with her arms. F
Wendy was already sitting at the dining table downstairs.Seeing the two come down, Wendy looked at Estie with an apologetic expression on her face. "Estie, I'm sorry. I seem to have said something wrong just now."Estie grabbed Byron's hand and looked up at her father, seeking confirmation from him if she could really ignore that woman.Byron stroked the little girl's head soothingly and brought the little one closer to him.Neither father nor daughter paid any attention to Wendy.For a while, the atmosphere at the table seemed very stiff.Wendy watched the father and daughter eat together. They did not even look her way. It was as if she did not exist. She was livid inside but could not vent it. Furthermore, she had to please the little b*tch."Estie, come. You’re still young, so eat a little more to grow taller." Wendy smiled and gave the little girl a piece of meat.Looking at the extra piece of meat on her plate, the little girl's movements paused.Byron deeply frowned, t
In the study, Byron was burying himself in all the unfinished work from the day. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the door.A moment later, there was a loud knock on the door.He looked away from the computer screen, frowning at the door.The servants of Lawrence Manor would already be resting at this time. No one would come to the study to disturb his work that easily.‘Not to mention knocking on the door so loudly.‘Come to think of it, the person at the door can only be Wendy.‘I don't know what the hell is going on with that woman.’The knocking on the door continued. Byron had finally coaxed Estie to sleep and did not want the little one to be woken up by the noise, so he got up and opened the door in the end.As soon as he opened the door, he saw a drunk woman at the door.It was uncertain how much she drank, but the alcohol stench hit his face and wafted into the study.Byron frowned in displeasure at the sight of her and said solemnly, "You've drunk too much.
The next morning, Byron had just woken up when he heard a careful little knock on the door.The only one who would knock on his door was his own little girl.Byron went over to open the door, and sure enough, he saw the little one standing eagerly at his bedroom door.As he stepped out, the little one greeted him in her impish voice, "Morning, Daddy!" He nodded lightly and patted her head. "You’re up so early today. What's the matter?"The little one glanced at Wendy's room in the corner of her eyes, then looked up at her father. "I want to visit Auntie! Daddy, can you take me there?"She really did not want to stay around Mean Auntie, even if it was just for breakfast. The little girl did not want to.Hearing this, Byron frowned.He knew what the little girl was thinking and could understand his daughter.However, he had a very important meeting this morning. If he sent the little one before heading over to the company, it might be too late.Thinking of this, Byron lowered
Estie shivered at Wendy's terrifying face and wanted to turn around to get her daddy, but alas, she was caught by Wendy at the wrist and could not break free.Wendy looked at the little one in front of her icily. "If you don't want to suffer, you’d better listen to me. Don't make me angry! Do you understand?!"...In the bathroom, Byron gave Rosalie a phone call after his shower.That woman had always been a workaholic. He was afraid that after Luther sent Estie over, the little one would throw a fit if she did not see the woman again.Fortunately, the call was quickly answered on the other end."Byron, hey. What’s up?"Rosalie's voice sounded a little confused. She should have just woken up, or maybe she was woken up by his phone call.Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Byron's eyes. He apologized warmly. "I’m sorry to have woken you up."Rosalie yawned softly and sat up from the bed. "It's nothing. I should be getting up at this time, but I accidentally slept in. What abo
