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
After the two little boys went upstairs, they quickened their pace and went back to the room."Brother, Mommy is going to meet Uncle Xander tomorrow. Should we tell Daddy?" Nox asked hesitantly.Lucian pondered for a moment with a sullen face. "I think we have to."Before, they chose to hide the matter because they wanted to use the relationship between Uncle Xander and Mommy to put some pressure on Daddy.However, Mommy's attitude now made them a little scared. ‘What if Mommy really chooses to be with Uncle Xander?’The thought of this made the little boys dare not hide this from Daddy anymore.Nox frowned. "But, how are we going to tell Daddy?"They did not have a mobile phone to reach Daddy.Mommy was going out tomorrow night, and they were not sure if Daddy would come tomorrow.Speaking of this question, the two little boys were a little solemn.After a while, Lucian frowned and whispered something in his brother's ear.Nox nodded vigorously.The two little boys went
The following night, Rosalie simply got dressed and went downstairs. She got prepared to meet Xander at the meeting place they had planned.As soon as she came downstairs, she was stopped by the little boys."Mommy, isn't Uncle Xander coming to pick you up?" The little boys waited and waited for Byron to appear. They could only try to delay the time without making it obvious.Rosalie felt inexplicable over the boys’ question. "Uncle Xander is going to see the partner ahead of time, and I’ll be going by myself. What's wrong?" The two little boys could not think of what else to say. They glanced at each other with a big silly grin on their faces. They boldly stopped in front of Rosalie."What's wrong with you two?" Rosalie leaned over in confusion and looked straight into the eyes of the little boys.The two little boys were dumbfounded again."Mommy, why isn’t Godmother here yet?" Lucian tilted his head curiously.Hearing this, Rosalie glanced at the time.At this time, Mary
Rosalie vaguely noticed something strange. She pursed her lips and said nothing.On the other hand, Mary noticed the strange atmosphere between the two and retracted her feet into the car. She sat silently, waiting.The behavior of her best friend’s ex-husband was so strange that once again, it made her have her doubts.If it was not for Rosalie who admitted it to her personally and Byron saying that he wanted to pursue her, Mary would never have believed Byron would chase after anybody.Moreover, all of Byron’s behaviors did not seem to be a romantic pursuit but more like he was conquering a territory.Mary watched the interaction between the two of them from a distance, and her heart was more and more sure about Byron’s territorial behavior...."Are you going out?" Byron suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced coldly at Rosalie's dress, and intentionally asked despite knowing the truth.Seeing the man's gaze, Rosalie felt a little guilty inexplicably.However, she then t
