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
Hearing what Byron said, Wendy did not care about her guilty conscience anymore. “Byron, what are you talking about? My father hasn't calmed down yet, where am I supposed to go?"She had finally moved into the manor; how could she leave so easily?Byron, however, was unmoved, he just stared at her expressionlessly. "If you can't go home, then go back to the hotel. The manor had only gone through its first round of disinfecting and I don’t know whether or not there are more hidden bacteria. If I let you stay here knowing that there are still risks, I would not be able to explain myself to your elders."He spoke of his concerns, but his tone was indifferent.Wendy only felt a chill in her heart.She was not stupid. Of course, she was aware that this was Byron’s excuse to drive her away.However, she had no valid reason to refuse him.Realizing this, Wendy hated that Estie had recovered so quickly and that she did not make her suffer more!"I'll be waiting for you in the car." Byr
Wendy did not know where Byron was going to take her and she did not dare ask, fearing that if she did, Byron would bring her directly to the hotel. She looked out the window silently the entire journey, only to see that the road outside was becoming more and more familiar."This is..." Wendy said hesitantly.Byron replied in a deep voice, "I’m sending you to my mother."Since his mother had always been partial to Wendy. If she were to find out that he had kicked her out this time, he wondered what rhetoric she would use to annoy him.It would be better for him to send her over directly and explain the reason clearly.His mother would have nothing to say when the time comes.Hearing his answer, Wendy's heart completely sank.She agreed to leave Lawrence Manor as she had intended to speak of this with Melody after so that she might return.Now Byron wanted to send her directly to Melody, how was she to embellish her story?However, by the time she learned this, it was already
Hearing Melody answer so bluntly, Wendy abruptly frowned. She looked up wanting to say something.Melody's gaze was still on Byron. “Take a seat and have a meal together."Hearing this, Wendy's eyes lit up again when she thought that Melody would take the opportunity while they were eating to speak up for her.Thinking of this, Wendy looked at Byron with anticipation and then echoed, "Byron, you've been busy all morning, you must be tired. Come and eat together."Byron glanced at the two of them expressionlessly and refused them indifferently. "No, I'm going to go pick Estie up. You two can eat."After he said that, he planned to turn around and leave but just as he did, he was stopped by his mother."Come and visit Wendy more often when you have time, help her speak to your Uncle Henry on her behalf," Melody urged earnestly.Byron turned his back to the two of them. Frowning impatiently, he responded to them in a deep voice and then strode away.Getting into the car, Byron had
The little one had already taken the initiative to invite them. So, Rosalie naturally had no reason to refuse. She could only force a smile and say, “President Lawrence, you came just in time. Come in and join us for lunch.”After inviting them, Rosalie headed to the kitchen with complicated feelings to get them culinary to use.Standing alone in the kitchen, Rosalie was lost in her thoughts.Nox sat beside Byron by the table. After waiting a long time, Nox still did not see his mommy, and the seat opposite Byron was empty.“Mommy?” The little boy urged Rosalie, feeling confused. He could not understand why his mommy was spending so much time in the kitchen.Hearing the little one’s voice, Rosalie snapped out of her daze. She adjusted her mood and walked out.All of them looked at her in unison.Seeing the expression on Rosalie’s face, Byron was in deep thought.Rosalie placed the cutlery in front of Byron under their strange gazes. Then, she forced herself to calm down and sit
Estelle nodded obediently and smiled at the boys when she turned around.Byron’s sudden visit still stressed Rosalie out, even though she did not feel guilty anymore facing the kids.After lunch, Rosalie thought the man would leave with Estelle. Unexpectedly, Estelle acted childishly and requested to stay back after the meal.Rosalie had no choice but to let the little one stay and play for a while before seeing them off.The little girl was having a good time at Rosalie’s house, and she was even happier when he learned that the mean lady had moved out of her house.On the way back, her face beamed with joy.Byron saw the smile on Estelle’s face through the rearview mirror, and a complicated feeling arose in him.“Daddy, Nox said you and auntie were in the living room last night. Is it true?” The little one could not hold back her curiosity after trying hard to do so all day.Even someone calm and mature like Byron froze when he heard Estelle’s question.What happened last nig
