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
When Byron was back at Lawrence Manor, he did not see Estelle or Mrs. Zora in the living room.“Sir.”When Byron was about to make a call, Mrs. Zora rushed down the stairs and looked worried.Byron frowned and asked, “Where’s Estie?”Mrs. Zora pointed at Estelle’s room upstairs as she said with concern, “Little Lady locked herself up in her room again. I can’t make her open the door…”Estie had been crying non-stop after hanging up the call with Byron. She kept sobbing.No matter how Mrs. Zora coaxed Estelle, Estelle turned a deaf ear to it.After crying, the little one suddenly got up and ran back upstairs.Mrs. Zora could not run as fast as Estelle. When she was upstairs, Estelle had already locked herself in her room. She would not open the door no matter what Mrs. Zora said.At first, Mrs. Zora could still hear Estelle’s faint whimpering from the room.However, it became quiet after a while.Mrs. Zora was so anxious that she called Byron countless times. However, no one
Seeing the little one not responding to him, Byron felt helpless.Since the little one got to know Rosalie, she had been treating him differently from Rosalie.The little one quickly forgave Rosalie for what she did yesterday.All Byron did was not listen to the little one, yet she was so angry that she refused to listen to him.If he did not know that Rosalie was Estelle’s birth mother, Byron would not have any explanation he could use to convince himself.“Didn’t you want to say something to me yesterday? I’ll listen to you now.”After a while, Byron suppressed his helpless feeling about Estelle’s attitude and coaxed her gently.Then, Estelle lifted her head and looked at Byron.Byron’s gaze deepened. Seeing the little girl’s face, his heart sank.He had heard nothing from Estelle and thought she was only sulking.However, he noticed the tears on Estelle’s face when she lifted her head. Tears were still shimmering in her eyes and flowing down her cheeks.“Bad Daddy...”Es
Xander smiled and said nothing.The 1.2 billion Xander had given last night was enough for Director Spiros to say this.Therefore, he calmly accepted Director Spiros’ humble attitude.Rosalie had no idea what had happened between the two men and quietly followed behind Xander.The three of them had just walked out of Heronial Corporation when Rosalie’s phone rang suddenly.The two men in front of her stopped and looked back at her.Rosalie smiled apologetically at the two of them. She took out her phone and glanced at it. When she saw the caller ID, she froze.“What’s the matter? Are the kids unwell?” Xander looked concerned.Rosalie was startled. Then, she casually rejected the call as she smiled and said, “It’s nothing. It shouldn’t be anything important. Let’s sign the contract first.”Xander and the others did not think too much and continued walking.Rosalie had taken only two steps when her phone rang again.When Rosalie saw the caller ID, her heart sank. Then, she tol
“Miss Jacobs.”Just as Rosalie hesitated to rush to Lawrence Manor, Xander approached her with a set of documents.Rosalie had to put away her worries and approach him. “What is this…?”Xander said, “I noticed you took quite some time talking on the phone, so I brought the documents that you need to check over. Take a look and sign it if you think everything is okay.”Rosalie agreed. She checked the documents. After a while, she nodded and said, “There’s no problem.”Xander smiled. “Alright then. You don’t look well. Do you have something important going on?”Rosalie recalled how badly the little girl was crying and was absent-minded.“Miss Jacobs?” Xander noticed Rosalie was not paying attention and called out to her.Rosalie turned around and smiled apologetically at him. “These are the herbs we need. Is there anything else I can help you with?”Xander shook his head.Rosalie decided to leave without hesitation. “I’ll leave the rest to you, then, Young Master Xander. I have
Rosalie headed straight from Heronial Corporation to Lawrence Manor.Rosalie pulled over her car at the manor’s gate in 20 minutes.Rosalie rang the doorbell anxiously.Soon, Mrs. Zora turned on the intercom.“Ma...” Mrs. Zora almost blurted out her usual way of addressing Rosalie when she saw her, but she quickly changed it when she realized what she was saying, “Miss Jacobs.”Estelle’s sad cry filled Rosalie’s mind, and she could not care about anything else. “Mrs. Zora, please let me in. How’s Estelle now?”Looking at Rosalie’s anxious expression, Mrs. Zora let out a silent sigh. “You came too late. Master has already taken Little Lady out.”Rosalie froze when she heard Mrs. Zora’s answer.She thought Byron was only saying that because he was angry.However, she did not expect him to be so ruthless.Estelle might still be crying because she had not seen her.Rosalie snapped out of her thought upon thinking of this. She humbly asked, “Do you know where Byron took Estelle t
Soon, Byron pulled over his car in front of Lucas’ psychiatric clinic.Lucas was already at the door waiting because Byron had called him on the way there.Byron got out of the car and wanted to carry Estelle out of the car.The little one was still crying. When Estelle saw her daddy reaching out to her, she struggled out of his grip.“I’ll carry her.”Lucas approached Estelle and stretched out his hands. “Estie, come to Uncle.”Estelle was still crying as she shook her head. She sobbed. “I want Auntie…”Lucas frowned and looked at Byron in a puzzle.Byron had only told him Estelle was crying non-stop through the phone but had not told him what had happened.Their eyes met, and Byron frowned. Then, he spoke, “Let’s go in and talk about it.”Lucas nodded and tried to coax Estelle again. “Auntie will be here soon. Why don’t you come into the clinic with uncle first?”Hearing this, Estelle stared at Lucas suspiciously for a long time.As a professional psychologist, Lucas show
