The two adults stared at each other after the children had settled down. The second floor was inhabitable, and there was only one guest room on the first floor. Lisa’s room was the only available room left. Rosalie was still wondering where Byron should spend the night when the man said, “I’ll make do on the couch.” He turned and walked out of the room when he finished speaking. Rosalie frowned slightly but then viewed the situation from a different perspective. There were only a few hours left before the sun would rise again, and they might not be able to get a good night’s sleep even if they did manage to fall asleep.Besides, she genuinely had no other rooms available for Byron to sleep in.These thoughts ran through Rosalie’s mind, and she did not say anything in reply as she quietly walked to the guest room and retrieved a thin blanket. Then, she walked back out and handed it over to Byron. The man took the blanket and said in his deep voice, “It’s late. You should hea
"Just what are you thinking?"Byron’s voice was a little hoarse.When he heard Rosalie come out of the room just now, he pretended to be asleep. In his hurry, he forgot that he had only covered himself halfway with the blanket. He did not actually expect the woman to come over and try to cover him up. He was still annoyed with this woman's relationship with other men just not long ago, but he felt his heart soften just now because of the tenderness the woman showed.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she abruptly reacted and subconsciously lifted her hand to push back at him. However, she was hugged even tighter and was unable to struggle at all.Byron's voice continued in her ears. "When are you going to accept me?"Hearing these words, Rosalie was shocked and turned to look at the person close to her. Her brows were raised slightly and her tone lowered by a few notches, "Byron, you're not completely awake yet. Let me go!"The man sneered inexplicably. "You provoke
Hearing the man's words, Rosalie found it ironic. She raised her hand against his chest. "Thank you for your kindness, but I am afraid you won’t have this chance."After saying that, she exerted some strength through her hands and got up from his arms.To her surprise, the man actually loosened his arms according to her strength.Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to stand up straight, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it hard in the direction of the sofa."Oh..." The man's unexpected action made Rosalie exclaim in a conditioned reflex.Her entire body fell into the man's lap in the next second. Byron’s hands were firmly on her waist, stabilizing her body.Rosalie glanced at the man around her in astonishment. Feeling slightly annoyed, she forced herself to speak calmly, "Thank you, President Lawrence, for helping me, but you can let go now."After she said that, she stretched her hand out for leverage to stand herself up.Unexpectedly, Byron h
Rosalie was taken aback and went still for a moment just as he said. She then reacted and struggled again.In the next second, she was pressed under the man's body."I already told you, yet you still moved." Byron leaned up to her, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "If you move again this time, I can’t guarantee what will happen."Looking at the man's face in front of her, Rosalie felt nervous for a moment and wanted to put up a fight but was worried about what Byron had just said.Just when she was at a loss, there were abrupt movements from the children’s rooms.Both of them inhaled.Hearing the children's footsteps getting closer to the door, Byron frowned sharply and let go of the woman in his arms before sitting back up expressionlessly.Rosalie was finally released from the man’s shackles, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the children’s room door opening.Thinking of the distance between Byron and herself now, Rosalie's heart constricted again. She
In the living room, Byron similarly stayed up the entire night. The next morning, the children saw Rosalie in their room the moment they woke up."Mommy!" Nox cried out in a childlike voice before saying happily, "I dreamt of you last night!"Hearing this, the expression on Rosalie's face stiffened for a moment.If she guessed correctly, this so-called dream the little boy was referring to was when he had come out of the room last night.If he found out that it was not a dream at all, who knew what the little boy would think...Just when Rosalie was worrying, the little boy's voice rang out again. "Hmm, it didn’t feel like a dream."The little boy looked up at Rosalie curiously after he said that. "Mommy, did I go out last night?"Rosalie could not help the hesitation she felt in her heart at what the boy said. Hearing his question, she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she figured that she would not be able to fool these two boys at all. Hence, she could only nod helpless
After inspecting them, Rosalie stood back up. Without giving Byron the chance to speak to the children, she immediately issued an order of expulsion."Since the sun is already up, please bring Estelle back quickly. Your home also needs to be thoroughly disinfected. The sooner the better."Her words gave them no reason to refuse her.Byron raised his brow noncommittally, and he looked down at his daughter.Estie pursed her lips reluctantly. "Daddy can go back by himself."The little girl had fallen ill so abruptly last night and only recovered today. She was still feeling a little uneasy.She thought she could play with Auntie and the brothers for a while today and did not expect Auntie to be so eager to drive her away the moment she woke up.Hearing what the little girl said, Rosalie and Byron both frowned, but their thoughts were completely different.If it were the night before, Rosalie would definitely have let the little girl stay without hesitation.However, Rosalie's con
At the same time, Lawrence Manor.Mrs. Zora had practically been awake the entire night.Since Byron left with Estie the night before, Mrs. Zora felt a little itchy all over but she did not think much about it and had planned to continue sleeping. However, she did not expect that her body would grow itchier as time passed. It itched so much that she could not sleep. She finally reached morning and when she woke up, she saw a lot of red, star-like dots on her body.A few of the servants who had a good relationship with Mrs. Zora came in to take a look. Their bodies also started itching after a while.Mrs. Zora realized almost immediately that this disease was contagious and immediately told everyone not to touch each other anymore. Those who were not infected were immediately arranged by Mrs. Zora to go to the yard.After handling the situation at home simply, Mrs. Zora then thought to call Byron to explain the situation.She saw Byron's car driving in the moment she brought h
"Byron, what's going on?"After being stunned for a few seconds, Wendy walked up to Byron with a concerned expression as she pretended to be unaware about what happened the day before after barely suppressing the panic in her heart.Byron looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly. There was scrutiny in his gaze. Last night had been a mess. Byron had heard what Rosalie said, which was that the child’s symptoms were allergic reactions caused by bacteria.As for where they came from, he had not had the time to think about it.He had only gotten the time to recall it carefully while on the way back. Everything had been fine before Wendy arrived at the manor, but as soon as she did, the bacteria also appeared.This made him suspect the woman in front of him.Feeling his gaze sweep over her, Wendy’s heart abruptly constricted. She squeezed her palms hard only then did she calmed down. She pretended to ask innocently, "I heard from the servant just now that there is some
