The little one drooped her eyes and buried herself in her daddy’s arms. She thought that Auntie’s scent was more comfortable compared to her Daddy’s.Byron sneered deep inside him.The little girl was so fond of Rosalie because she was her biological mother, and they had some connections pulling them together.He wondered if Rosalie had the same feelings for the little girl.However, he denied that thought. Rosalie would not have chosen work instead of Estelle if she cared about Estelle.“Can you not regret it, Daddy?” Estelle thought of the call that made her feel sad and carefully requested, “I want Auntie to be my mommy.”When the little one mentioned this, it reminded Byron of the call.Hearing the little girl asking the same question again, Byron fell into deep silence for a few seconds.The anger in him made him want to reject Estelle’s request, but recalling what Lucas had reminded him of, he calmed down.Finally, after suppressing his anger, he answered vaguely, “I won
There was no one on the screen.“Who is it?” Mrs. Zora asked in a puzzle.After a while, a cute voice came from outside. “Mrs. Zora, we’re Lucian and Nox. Can you please open the door so we can see Estie?”As they spoke, they went on tiptoes. Mrs. Zora saw two similar pairs of eyes through the screen.Mrs. Zora had gone to Rosalie’s place to take care of the kids for some time and remembered those kids.Mrs. Zora’s heart melted upon hearing the little ones’ voices. However, she remembered Byron’s order and turned around to get his permission.Noticing Mrs. Zora had not answered them, they quickly added, “We came by ourselves. Mommy isn’t with us!”Both Byron and Estelle heard those words.Byron frowned and nodded at Mrs. Zora, beckoning her to open the gate for the little ones.Meanwhile, Estelle was a little disappointed, and the anticipation in her eyes faded.She thought Auntie had come looking for her.‘Why isn’t Auntie here? Even Lucian and Nox have come to visit,’ Este
Emotions were boiling within Byron when he watched the little ones head upstairs.Just now, the two little ones said Rosalie told them to come.Rosalie had been calling him all day, and he had declined her calls.He thought Rosalie would give up after sensing his anger.However, he did not expect she would use the little ones to deal with him. She first asked them to call him and then sent them to visit Estelle.He had to admit Rosalie was getting smarter.It was just that since she had even sent the little ones, why did she not visit Estelle too?She knew he would not be able to stop them from coming into his house if she came with the little ones.Byron wondered if Rosalie was mad at him.However, he did not think she had the right to be mad.“Sir,” Mrs. Zora could sense Byron’s anger, so she asked cautiously, “I’ll bring some snacks for the kids to eat.”Byron snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Mrs. Zora’s voice and suppressed his boiling emotions.“I’ll do it.” H
“Mr. Byron.”Thinking that they had almost exposed Daddy’s lies, Lucian and Nox greeted Byron while feeling guilty.Byron nodded and glanced at the little ones.The little ones felt Byron was warning them from a distance, and they tried to put on their best attitude.They could see that their daddy wanted them to stop saying anything they should not say.Noticing the little ones understood what he meant, Byron nodded slightly and put the snacks on the table for them.“Call Mrs. Zora if you need anything. I have something to deal with at the moment.”The three kids nodded all at once.Byron said nothing and left the room.He had been so preoccupied with Rosalie that he had forgotten to remind the little ones.Therefore, Byron came to give them the snacks instead of letting Mrs. Zora do it.Looking at the closed bedroom door, Lucian and Nox heaved a sigh of relief.Their daddy’s gaze was scary.Estelle had forgotten what she had asked because Byron interrupted. She handed th
“Did they take their watches when they left?”Mary was calmer and frowned as she asked Rosalie.Rosalie realized that and regretted it.So many things were going on today that she immediately panicked when she found out the little ones were missing. Fortunately, she had gone to look for Mary first.After Mary reminded her about the smartwatches, Rosalie decided to call the little ones at once.There was no answer even after the call went through for a while.Rosalie tried Nox’s number instead, but he did not answer either.Mary’s and Rosalie’s hearts sank when they could not reach the little ones.There were so many possibilities why the little ones did not answer her calls.They thought of the worst…Rosalie clenched her fist and calmed herself down. Then, she checked the little ones’ location through her phone.Looking at the green dots on her phone, Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, they could still locate the little ones.“I’ll drive,” Mary saw the dots o
Mary did not think it was appropriate for her to get involved with Rosalie and Byron’s matter. She hesitated for a while before deciding to leave.Rosalie watched Mary dove the car out of the manor. Then, she rang the bell.It was the third time she came here today. She had no idea if Byron would let her in this time.In the villa, the little ones had asked Mrs. Zora to stay in the room and play with them, so she did not hear the doorbell downstairs.Byron’s study was quiet, so he could hear the noise from downstairs.Byron waited for a while and decided to take a look when he realized the doorbell had not stopped ringing.Mrs. Zora’s voice came out of the little one’s room.Byron did not disturb the kids and headed downstairs to turn on the intercom.“Mrs…” Rosalie called out Mrs. Zora’s name habitually. However, she paused when she saw the man on the screen.Byron’s gaze turned gloomy when he saw her.Rosalie noticed the man’s mood change and clenched her fist. She spoke ag
Byron got up slowly, and his eyes never left the woman who was standing by the door."When did you learn to use the kids to trick me, Miss Jacobs?"Rosalie's eyes flickered, her eyes full of confusion.‘When did I do such a thing?’Byron saw the innocent expression on her face. He frowned sharply, picked up his feet, and slowly approached Rosalie.Rosalie sensed the man's intention. Her heartstrings tightened, and she stepped back vigilantly, keeping a certain distance from him.Byron sneered. "If you’re not guilty, why are you hiding, Miss Jacobs?"Hearing this, Rosalie frowned and hesitantly stopped. "I don't know what you're talking about."Byron’s face darkened as he pressed on. “Well, you must’ve guessed accurately that I wouldn’t reject the child’s phone call and got Lucian to call me?"Rosalie’s arms that were slumped by her side tensed slightly.‘True enough, I did that, but… how is that trickery?‘Compared to what Byron did to me previously, that’s nothing!’Byron
Byron heard her response and snorted coldly. "Didn't you also arrange for Lucian and Nox to be here?"She let the two children come over first to appease Estie, then she took advantage of this time to be with Xander. The thought of this possibility brewed a terrible storm around Byron. "Miss Jacobs, do you take Estie for an easy fool?"Rosalie found him unreasonable. "Mr. Lawrence, if you insist that’s the truth, then I can't help it."After she said that, she struggled hard to break free from his grip. She wanted to go upstairs to call Lucian and Nox down.The man in front of her had already made up his mind. No matter what she said, it would only be in vain.Rosalie did not want to waste any more time. It would be better if she could meet Estie sooner.Aware of her resistance, the anger in Byron's eyes grew stronger. "It's because of Heronial Corporation, am I right?"Hearing this, Rosalie froze suddenly. A slight trace of shock flashed across her eyes. For a long time, Xan
