At the same time, Xander thought about Heronial Corporation’s sudden scandal for a night. In the end, he decided that since he had paid so much more, he could not make things easy for Byron.Early in the morning, Xander drove to Rosalie's house.Rosalie and the little boys were eating in the dining room when she suddenly heard the doorbell and looked over in confusion.Rosalie was a little surprised when she saw the person at the door."Young Master Xander, why did you come so early? Did something happen to Heronial Corporation?"Rosalie opened the door, looked at the person in front of him in confusion, and turned to let him in.Xander nodded noncommittally, with a solemn expression on his face. "Yesterday I spent a lot of money to help them stabilize their stock price. This morning, however, Heronial Corporation was suddenly ordered by higher authorities to suspend their business and all subsequent work was temporarily put on hold."This also meant that if their project was go
"Thank you."Xander took the tea cup she handed over and thanked her politely.Rosalie sat on the sofa beside him and looked at him seriously. "What do you need me to do now?" When such a big thing happened to Heronial Corporation, Xander came to look for her early in the morning. There was a need for her assistance.However, Xander deviated from her question. "I wonder if you have any suspicions on who might be behind this matter?"Rosalie was stunned when she heard his question.She did have her own suspicion, but she did not know how to bring it up.Subconsciously, she still did not want to believe that Byron would do such a thing."Director Spiros of Heronial Corporation told me that he suspected it was the work of Lawrence Corporation. This was because the Lawrence Corporation was provoked by Heronial Corporation breaking a contract with them at the last minute." Xander made up Director Spiros’ words, his face unchanging.Rosalie frowned slightly, and did not speak.Dir
"Mommy!"Just when Rosalie doubted herself, Lucian and Nox's little voice was heard.The little boys waited in the dining room for a while, but they did not see their Mommy coming back. They thought it was Daddy who came with little sister, and ran out excitedly.However, when they saw the man on the sofa, the little boys' eyes almost instantly filled with vigilance.Although they have only seen Xander once, the little boys had a deep impression of the man.They were worried that Uncle Xander would steal Mommy away from Daddy, and they knew that Daddy and Mommy had an unpleasant quarrel yesterday because of Uncle Xander.Now that Xander came to find their Mommy so early in the morning, the little boys had to be on guard.When Xander saw the little boys come out, he smiled at them casually, got up and said, "Hello boys! I didn't prepare a present for you when we met last time. To make up for it, I bought it and kept it in the car. I thought I would hand it to you when we meet aga
Xander did not mind. He smiled instead. “You don’t have to thank me now. I want to ask you guys for a favor.”Hearing this, the little ones were immediately on guard.Rosalie was also in a puzzle. This time was the second time Xander and the little ones met. She wondered why he wanted to ask them for a favor.As she wondered, she noticed Xander’s gaze on her.Rosalie was startled.Then, Xander spoke as he looked at the little ones again, “Can I borrow your mommy for a while?”The little ones looked at each other as if they had seen this coming.They knew Uncle Xander was going to take their mommy away again.If their daddy knew about this matter, they wondered when Daddy and Mommy would get back together.With this thought in mind, the little ones shook their heads without hesitation and responded firmly. “Mommy has promised to take us out to play today! Grown-ups shouldn’t lie to their kids!”Xander looked at Rosalie bewilderedly when he heard the little ones’ answer.Rosal
Rosalie frowned and stared at the little one for a while.Nox was fine a moment ago, yet he suddenly had a stomachache and seemed to be in great pain.Lucian noticed their mommy’s doubt and quickly thought of something. He quickly frowned and said, “I think we might have caught a cold last night while sleeping. I feel unwell too.”Rosalie finally believed them. Then, she turned around and apologized to Xander. “Young Master Xander, I’m sorry. My kids are unwell, so I’ll have to take a look at them.”Xander glanced at the little ones and smiled with understanding. “The kids are more important. I can wait for a while. Feel free to tell me if you need any help.”After all, Xander’s medical skill was as professional as Rosalie’s. Moreover, he had experience giving free treatments to kids and knew how to treat them well.Hearing this, the two little ones looked at each other and panicked.They had almost forgotten that Uncle Xander was also a professional doctor.If he examined them
Nox tried to suppress the fear in him, but his voice trembled a little as he asked, “Mommy… Do I have to undergo surgery?”Rosalie nodded as though Nox was ill for real. “Acute appendicitis is serious. If we don’t take you to the hospital as soon as possible, it’ll hurt more in the future. I’m worried about you.”Nox hesitated for a few seconds, then grinned before letting go of his tummy. He confessed, “Mommy, I’m okay. I don’t feel pain. Please don’t have me undergo surgery, okay?”Rosalie shook her head without hesitation.Nox and Lucian looked into each other’s eyes. The fear of surgery and the regrets of lying surged through them.Lucian cautiously tugged their mommy’s shirt and apologized obediently. “Mommy, I’m sorry. We lied just now. Nox isn’t sick. I asked him to pretend to be sick. Please don’t have Nox undergo surgery.”Nox also climbed down from the bed and stood before their mommy guilty.Rosalie looked at the two little ones beside her. She sighed and caressed the
Rosalie touched the little ones’ heads apologetically. “I’m sorry, but my work today is important and urgent. As you’ve heard, they’ll shut the company down soon, so I have to go out today.”The little ones looked disappointed and said nothing.They knew how important work was to their mommy.However, they still did not like Mommy going out with Uncle Xander.Seeing the little ones’ reluctant expressions, Rosalie felt sorry and strange.When they were abroad, she had always been busy like now. However, the little ones never complained anything about it.She was also busy day and night finding pharmaceutical companies for the research institute when they first returned. Even then, the little ones were obedient and did not make a fuss about it.Rosalie had no idea what had happened this time.“Mommy…” Nox couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going to make Uncle Xander our daddy?”When Rosalie heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds. She then realized the little ones’ concerns a
Seeing that Mrs. Zora was ignoring her, the little one began to sulk again.After a while, Mrs. Zora had no choice but to give in and explain, “Master is very busy these days. He told you to stay home and wait for him to return. He’ll take you out then.”The little one puffed her cheeks angrily when she thought of her father.Mrs. Zora sighed helplessly and dialed Byron’s number.“Yes?”Byron was at Lawrence Corporation, having a meeting with the higher executive officers. When he saw the call from Mrs. Zora, he hesitated for a moment before answering it.Mrs. Zora looked at the little girl, who was still sulking, and said, “Sir, Little Lady has been sulking all morning. She didn’t eat breakfast.”Hearing that Mrs. Zora was on a call with Daddy, the little girl turned around slowly and stared longingly at the phone.She wanted to talk to her daddy too.Mrs. Zora saw through Estelle’s thoughts and handed the phone to her.On the other end of the call, Byron was about to ask Mr
