After lunch, the two little ones ran back to their room, saying they wanted to nap.Rosalie also felt a little tired. So, she also took a nap after washing the dishes.On the second floor, in the little ones’ bedroom. The two little ones who were supposed to be asleep sat opposite each other on the edge of their beds. They looked visibly sad.“Brother, I’m so sad.”Nox pursed his lips as his eyes gradually turned red.The little one had always been sensitive, not to mention being scolded by their grandma like that.Their grandma had even taken Estie away with her…Lucian glanced at his brother.Noticing the tears shimmering in his brother’s eyes, Lucian sat beside Nox.“You can feel sad but not cry.”Nox pouted his lips upon hearing that. “Why does grandma talk to us like that?”He had just called Melody grandma out of politeness, but Melody scolded him.Thinking of Melody’s stern scolding, the little one could not stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.Lucian natural
Thirty minutes later, Melody’s car pulled over slowly at the gate of Lawrence manor.The little girl was silent in the back seat.Melody thought the little one had stopped crying all the way home. She was relieved.Unexpectedly, she saw tears all over the little one’s face when she opened the back seat door.The little one was tired of crying. Even though Estelle remained silent, tears still flowed down her cheeks.When Melody opened the door, she did not respond. She did not even turn her head this way.Seeing her granddaughter sobbing silently, Melody felt sorry for her.“Why are you crying? Do you like that Jacobs woman so much? Isn’t grandma nice to you?”Melody hugged the little one in her embrace and comforted her.The little girl in her arms shook her head as she sobbed.Melody felt despair, thinking Rosalie had brainwashed the little one, making her dislike her grandma.Melody’s dissatisfaction with Rosalie grew.She was about to say more when the little one suddenl
“Estie, be a good girl. Grandma will carry you. Please don’t cry.”Melody tried to coax the little one patiently.Unexpectedly, the little one cried louder after Melody tried to coax her. She cried so hard that she was gasping for breath.Seeing the uncontrollable situation, Melody reluctantly gave the little one to Byron.When Estelle was in her father’s arms, her cry gradually faded, turning into a sob.Looking at the little girl’s sad appearance, Byron did not have to ask her why she was crying.His mother must have used despicable means to take the little girl back from Rosalie’s place forcefully.“You’ve spoiled her.”Melody started to scold Byron in displease. “That woman was the heartless one years ago, yet you let Estelle get so close to her! How many times have I asked you to stay away from that woman? Well, look! Estie is now reluctant to go back home now.”Although the little girl did not know what grandma was talking about, she could sense that grandma was telling
Byron noticed the guilty look on his mother’s face and his face turned gloomy as he warned the last time.“Whether it is Estie or my marriage, I will take care of it. What you think is good for me may not be the correct choice for me.”What he meant was to ask her to stay out of the matter.Melody was both angry and guilty. “I’m doing this for you.”Byron said nothing more.His mother was so obstinate that whatever he said was pointless.“Estie is my granddaughter. Of course, I care about her. I wanted to take her back to my side, but she was crying for you, so I sent her here!”Melody regained her confidence and said, “Even if Estie accepted Rosalie, she has two other kids. How about the two children if you are planning to marry her again? Are you going to hand over the Lawrence family’s property to two unknown...children?”She tried hard not to use the word ‘brats’.Melody had not considered so much before this.However, now it worried her to see Byron care so much about th
After comforting Estelle, Byron walked out of her room.While walking back to his study, he recalled Melody’s attitude toward Estelle. He frowned as he took his phone.He could imagine that his mother must have been unkind when she brought Estelle home. After all, Estelle had been crying so much.However, Byron had no idea what Melody had said to Rosalie.He could not ask Estelle because that might make her cry again.After thinking about it, Byron felt he needed to call Rosalie.If his mother had said something harsh, he could apologize on her behalf....Rosalie had been having dreams in her nap because of Melody’s sudden visit.In her dream, Estelle cried out for her, but Estelle was out of her reach.The dream hurt so much that Rosalie still felt gloomy after waking up.Before she could sober up, her phone on the desk rang.Rosalie picked the phone up and saw it was a call from Byron.She could only think of two possibilities since Byron called her at this hour.He mi
Rosalie squinted her eyes.If she kept a distance from Byron and Estelle, Wendy and even Melody might not make things difficult for her.The closer she got to Byron, the crazier the stuff Wendy would do.The thought of the woman putting the bacteria in Estelle’s food twice made Rosalie feel fear.“All this time, you haven’t been thinking?” Byron’s forehead puckered as he asked.Rosalie’s attitude was strange. He would not let her hang up the call so soon.At the camp, Rosalie seemed like she had already suspected someone.However, she was not willing to share it with him.Something else must be going on.Rosalie was moved when she heard his question, but she insisted.“Haven’t you sent someone to keep an eye on the situation? I don’t think I’ll be able to notice anything if you didn’t.”Byron frowned and did not reply immediately.He found nothing because he had sent someone to follow Kevin secretly.Therefore, Kevin did not appear around Rosalie’s side and was not anywher
Rosalie had not snapped out of her gloomy mood even after Byron hung up the call. Suddenly, a knock came on the room door.“Mommy!”When she opened the door, she saw the two little ones standing in her doorway.The little ones had been waiting in their room all afternoon. However, when their mother did not come out to call them, they could not help themselves to come and call her.Rosalie suppressed the strange feeling in her and forced a smile.The little ones, however, were sensitive to her mood. They noticed something strange about her.Nox carefully tugged Rosalie’s shirt. “Mommy, what’s wrong with you?”Meanwhile, Lucian stared at her silently, trying to observe something from her expression.Rosalie smiled. “Nothing. Mommy just had a nightmare.”Hearing this, Nox looked at her brother suspiciously.Apparently, neither of the little ones believed this.Rosalie knew the little ones were suspicious about it and felt helpless.She could not see through her two kids’ acts.
For the next few days, Rosalie focused on her work and did not send and pick up the little ones from kindergarten.As before, when the little ones returned home every day, they would tell Rosalie how sad Estelle was when she did not see Rosalie.Although Rosalie felt sorry for Estelle, she said nothing.That evening, the little ones were waiting for their parents to pick them up after school.Estelle stared longingly at the two little brothers.The little ones knew what their little sister was trying to say without her having to say it.She wanted to ask them if Rosalie was picking them up.These days, Estelle had been staring at them every time after school.However, they had no choice because their Mommy refused to say anything.After a while, they saw Lisa in the crowd of parents.Estelle withdrew her sight in frustration.However, the little ones did not leave immediately. They waited for Byron’s car to arrive before leaving with Lisa.“Daddy.”The little girl looked a
