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
Although her daddy did not answer her question directly, Estie was satisfied with his answer and nodded obediently.Meanwhile, the two boys were also pestering Rosalie.“Did Mister Byron annoy you, mommy?” Nox followed everywhere Rosalie went.Rosalie finally answered helplessly after being followed for some time, “No.”The little ones did not stop asking. “Why did you ignore Mister Byron at dinner just now?”They noticed the two adults had not spoken to each other during the meal.The boys had been trying to create a topic, but they refused to cooperate.The little ones noticed their mother was the one who refused to speak to Byron and seemed to ignore the word “Mister Byron”, which they kept mentioning throughout the meal. She seldom looked opposite her.Hearing the little ones’ questions, Rosalie felt guilty.She ignored Byron because she would recall what happened the night before if she looked at him. It made her feel embarrassed.“Mommy didn’t sleep well last night. I’m
Xander chuckled. “However, Heronial Corporation stated a condition when they agreed.”Rosalie was confused, and she asked, “What condition?”Subconsciously, she felt that it had something to do with her. Otherwise, Xander did not need to make this call.“The boss wants you to attend the signing ceremony as a way to promote their company,” Xander said helplessly.He had only realized the reason for using Rosalie as a gimmick when others reminded him about the trending rumor about Rosalie online.Although the matter became a hot topic and dissipated soon, he could not deny that Rosalie was famous among the youngsters in Coast City.It was either because of her appearance or purely because of her medical skills.If Heronial Corporation claimed they were cooperating with Lancer Corporation and announced Rosalie would attend the signing ceremony personally, they could attract the people’s attention. It would bring up their status in Coast City.When Xander realized the reason, he fe
After hanging up the phone, Rosalie looked at the time and felt it was almost time for her to make dinner for the little ones.The two little ones were quietly stacking blocks on the carpet.When their mommy walked downstairs, the little ones looked at each other, but they did not ask any more questions.“Mommy got to work tomorrow night. Do you agree if I ask Mary to babysit you guys?”During dinner, Rosalie mentioned her work plan to her sons.The little ones were confused as they looked at her and asked, “Why is your work at night? Is it a business dinner?”Rosalie had never kept anything from work a secret from the little ones. So, she explained patiently, “Uncle Xander and Mommy have made new progress in a joint project and need to attend a signing ceremony tomorrow.”The little ones looked at each other and thought of the same question. “Will Uncle Xander go too?”They remembered Xander and knew he was their daddy’s love rival.Rosalie nodded. “Mommy and Uncle Xander are
