“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
"As long as I think it's effective, it's not despicable."After a while, Byron retracted his gaze and responded coldly.Rosalie's eyes trembled slightly, and she nodded self-deprecatingly. "I guess I’m not far-sighted enough." Byron looked at her deeply and suddenly opened his mouth again. He spoke in a much softer tone than before."If you’re willing, I can reserve you the position of Heronial Corporation’s technical advisor."Hearing this, Rosalie frowned and looked at him in confusion.‘The man was clearly still furious just now.‘But in the blink of an eye, he’s extending an olive branch to me.‘Is he... giving me a chance to save the situation?’Rosalie could not help but feel a little ridiculous over this thought.Byron did not wait long for her answer. The hand holding her wrist tightened again."Whatever resources that the Lancers offered you, Lawrence Corporation can provide the same."Rosalie clearly felt that the surrounding pressure was gradually increasing, an
"I'm going to pick up Lucian and Nox." It was uncertain how long it took before Rosalie narrowed her eyes and forced herself to speak calmly.She really did not know how to face the man in front of her, so she could only pretend that nothing happened just now.Byron saw that she was acting as if nothing happened, so he pulled his lower lip, intentionally revealing the wound at the corner of his mouth.Rosalie glanced at the corner of the man's mouth from the corners of her eyes, and her expression was flustered.Byron pressed the corner of his mouth deeply. His eyes were cold, and he said solemnly, "I'll take you up."Just now, he was annoyed by this woman again, and he could not control himself all of a sudden.Right now, she almost wrote her resistance on her face.Anger and annoyance intertwined in Byron's heart before finally turning into indifference.The two reached a consensus and said nothing about what happened just now.Byron turned around and walked upstairs, whil
Rosalie raised her eyes and looked at her two little boys.Lucian and Nox noticed their mommy's gaze, raised their eyes guiltily, and smiled at her. Then, they turned their eyes away nonchalantly.Rosalie found it strange in her heart, then gradually understood what had happened.‘No wonder Byron asked me that.’These two little boys actually used her name to see Estie.Realizing this, Rosalie felt helpless for a while but did not say anything.After all, the boys really wanted to visit Estie.Estie's mood had also improved, presumably because of their presence."Are you feeling any discomfort now?" Rosalie looked at Estie's face with concern.The little girl shook her head sweetly and said in her innocent voice, "The little brothers were here to play with me!"Rosalie felt relieved, knowing that her predictions were correct."Why did Auntie come so late? Did you just finish work?" Estie turned her attention to her.Hearing this, Rosalie suddenly remembered Byron’s question
Rosalie's brows wrinkled into a frown; she did not know how to refute.Estie, who stood in front of her saw her rejection, and did not answer Daddy's words for so long, the expression on her face became more and more aggrieved."Auntie...Auntie is mad at Daddy?" The little girl carefully tugged at Rosalie's cuff.Hearing this, Rosalie suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at the little one in front of her with mixed feelings.Estie sniffed and felt a lot of grievances in her heart.Although she did not understand what Daddy said about the Heronial Corporation, she could hear that the two adults were arguing again.‘Daddy finally forgave auntie, and now auntie is angry with daddy again…’Thinking of this, the little girl felt wronged again, and looked at her daddy angrily.Byron met the little girl's gaze, and the displeasure on his face subsided, but he did not speak again.Rosalie was silent for a while, and then patted the little girl's head soothingly. "Auntie isn’
