Chapter 919 Injured In The Fire
Lisa, Rosalie, and the little ones were having dinner when the doorbell rang.Lisa got up to answer the door.“Hello, Nanny Lisa!”A cute voice came from outside the villa.Then, Lisa spoke, “Miss Jacobs, President Lawrence is here with Estie.”Rosalie’s hand that was forking her food froze. She did not know how to respond to that.Byron and Rosalie had not met since what happened that night.Rosalie had no idea why Byron stopped by her house.She did not know how to face him.As she hesitated to let them in, Lucian and Nox greeted Estelle warmly.“Come in! Estie, have you had dinner yet? If not, join us!”Estelle, of course, agreed without hesitation.After a while, the little girl followed Lucian and Nox into the dining area.Byron and Rosalie said nothing throughout the process. The kids had decided everything on their own.“Auntie!” When Estelle saw Rosalie, she clung to her.The other two little ones were accustomed to it and gave up their seats beside their mommy.
Chapter 920 Not That Easy
Rosalie could feel Byron’s concerned gaze on her.Although she was sitting with her back facing Byron, she could not ignore that feeling.Byron’s existence made Rosalie lose her appetite.“You guys enjoy the meal. I have something to talk to Mr. Byron about.”Rosalie finished her food quickly and put down her cutlery as she spoke gently to the little ones.She could no longer ignore Byron’s gaze and wanted to know what he was up to.The little ones did not think much and nodded their heads obediently.After notifying the little ones, Rosalie stood up and approached Byron as she said, “Let’s talk in the study.”The man nodded without questioning anything and followed Rosalie.“President Lawrence, I wonder why you suddenly paid us a visit today.”Rosalie stood in the middle of the study and looked at Byron cautiously. “If it’s still about me being a technical adviser to Heronial Corporation, I’ve already refused that offer.”That was the only possibility she could think of.B
Chapter 921 I Could Only Apologize
Noticing Byron’s anger, Rosalie looked away, trying to avoid his gaze.“If that’s not the case, I wonder why you’re here, President Lawrence?”Byron glanced at the woman.According to Andrius’ suggestion, he was supposed to ‘timely help’ Rosalie.However, seeing Rosalie’s distant attitude made him reluctant to offer help.The study was dead silent again.Rosalie’s heart sank again.After a while, Rosalie could not bear it anymore and drooped her eyes as she said, “Since we have nothing else to talk about, let’s go out. The kids are waiting.”Then, Rosalie wanted to head to the door.Just as she lifted her leg, a huge hand gripped her wrist.Rosalie had to stop. She frowned and looked at the man beside her.‘What’s wrong with this man? He hasn’t said anything but refuses to let me leave.‘What does he want?’Rosalie could not understand what was going on in Byron’s mind. Impatiently, she struggled, trying to break off his grip.“The information I got was that the fire in y
Chapter 922 That’s Who You Are
His grip hurt Rosalie, and she gasped as she glared at Byron with her beautiful eyes.Byron’s face looked angry and scary.After some time, Byron approached Rosalie step by step.Rosalie tried to back off, but her wrist was in Byron’s grip, and she could not do anything.The two were so close that they could almost feel each other’s breaths for a moment.Subconsciously, Rosalie slowed her breathing pace and kept her hands close to her.Byron’s gaze fell on her as he observed every inch of her. His grip on her wrist tightened gradually.When Rosalie thought Byron was going to do something, he let go of her wrist.Rosalie was startled.“Heronial Corporation’s branches in other cities have some stock of the medicinal materials that were burned in the fire. I can ask someone to send them to your research institute if you need them.”Byron tried hard to say that.Just now, he almost lost control because of his anger.However, thinking of his purpose of visit and what Andrius had
Chapter 923 Fetch Me Early
Byron observed Rosalie’s face, feeling annoyed.Although Rosalie did not say so, Byron knew from her face that she still suspected him.Realizing this, Byron was unhappy, and his voice turned cold.“I won’t force it since you don’t want to accept my offer, Mis Jacobs.”Then, he walked out of the study.Rosalie’s eyes flashed with doubts upon looking at the back of the man walking away.After chatting with Byron for some time, Rosalie still did not understand why Byron had come to her place.She would not believe that he was only here to supply her with medicinal materials.However, Byron did not mention anything else.Rosalie pondered the matter for some time in her study but could not figure it out.In the end, she walked out of the study.The little ones had finished dinner and were playing in the living room.“Auntie!”Estie dashed toward Rosalie and hugged Rosalie’s legs when she saw Rosalie walking out of the study.Startled, Rosalie was surprised that Estelle had no
Chapter 924 Getting Things Ready
After Byron’s car left, Rosalie took Lucian and Nox to the living room.The two little ones looked at their mother anxiously.These days, Mommy seemed to be in a bad mood.It was worse after she came out of the study.They wondered what Daddy said to Mommy again.Nox, who had always been bad at hiding his emotions, asked, “Mommy, what did you and Mr. Byron talk about?”Rosalie’s eyes turned gloomy as she looked at Nox upon hearing the little one’s question.The little ones looked at her wistfully, trying to tell her that she could not deceive them.Meeting their gazes, Rosalie sighed and brushed them off by saying, “We talked about work.”“Mommy, you don’t seem very happy.”They had never seen Mommy like this for work before.It was like she was watching out for something.The little ones looked at each other in a puzzle.‘What did Daddy do that made Mommy so wary?’Rosalie knew she could not brush them off, so she explained, “Mr. Byron wanted to cooperate with me, but I
Chapter 925 Coaxing Auntie
Meanwhile, Estelle sat in the backseat of the car with her cheeks puffed while she was on her way back to Lawrence Manor. She gazed at her daddy’s face through the rearview mirror.“Daddy, did you make Auntie angry again?”Byron’s forehead creased when he heard Estelle’s question.Catching the change in her daddy’s expression, Estelle snorted, knowing her guess was correct.She thought about why her father wanted to take her to see her Auntie.It was because he wanted to quarrel with Auntie.“Estie will never listen to Daddy again!” Estelle said moodily.Byron frowned and explained to Estelle patiently, “It’s because of work.”It was that excuse again.Estelle looked in the rearview mirror unhappily. “You only know how to lie to kids.”Byron’s brows knitted when he heard that.Estelle listed out Byron’s excuses. “You said the same thing last time. You even deceived Estie tonight, using me as an excuse to meet Auntie…”As a result, her daddy annoyed Auntie again when they we
Chapter 926 The Expression Collapsed
Although the little girl still felt aggrieved, her attention was somewhat diverted by the camping trip.Byron frowned and thought out loud, "Auntie Rosalie should’ve prepared food and water… Besides these, what else do we need?"When she heard her daddy's voice, Estie's attention was finally all focused on the camping trip.However, the little girl hardly participated in group activities since she was little. The Lawrence family had no such tradition of taking their children out camping. As for what to prepare for camping, Estie was even more clueless than Byron was.After a long while, the little girl's eyes flashed a little slyly, and she cautiously suggested, "Ask Auntie!"Byron glanced at the rearview mirror and turned a deaf ear. "Let’s go back and rest early."Estie knew that meant Daddy’s refusal, and she was unhappy.They went all the way to theLawrence family’s manor.Byron got out of the car, turned around to open the rear door, and reached out to carry the little gir
