Rosalie Jacobs paused and looked back in confusion.Byron Lawrence frowned deeply, "It's four o'clock in the morning, you’ve barely slept. I wouldn’t dare let you drive back like this. Besides, if you leave now, I can't possibly explain to Estie. You promised her that you won’t leave, if she wakes up tomorrow and can't find you, she will throw a fit. She might even run directly to your house. Estie has not fully recovered, what if she gets sick again?"Rosalie Jacobs frowned at his request. The dream just now had made her uneasy and she didn't want to stay any longer around this man.However, she did promise the little girl that she would not leave...Seeing her dismayed look, his face darkened, and his tone became cold, "Don't worry, the only time that Estie can trouble you is now. In the future, if it's okay, I won't let her disturb your life again."After that, he released his grip around her wrist.Rosalie felt that his words sounded a little thorny and strange, which made he
Rosalie Jacobs braided Estelle’s hair and went out with her.As soon as she turned around, she saw the man standing at the door.Byron Lawrence's face darkened and retracted all the warmth in his eyes. His tone was polite yet distant, "Breakfast is ready, let's go down to eat."After speaking, he turned and walked in front.Rosalie Jacobs was stunned for a moment.Just now, she caught an expression on the man's face that was slightly different from before. It was only a brief moment, and she didn't know if it was her illusion.When she came back to her senses, Rosalie quickly led Estie downstairs for breakfast.Little Estie naturally sat down beside her Daddy at the breakfast table.Rosalie was about to go across from the two of them, but the little girl grabbed her sleeve and stopped."Young Madam, please sit next to Little Lady." Mrs. Zora saw the little girl's intention and pulled out the chair beside Estie with a smile.Estie nodded in agreement, looking at Rosalie Jacobs
That afternoon, Wendy Fuller and her mother invited Melody Bloome to meet at the cafe.When Melody arrived, the two were already waiting by the window."Excuse me for the wait." Melody sat down opposite the two.Wendy Fuller smiled reassuringly, "Don’t worry, we just arrived, please have a seat. I ordered some desserts, but I don't know if it suits your taste. Please help yourself."After speaking, she waved to the waiter for service.Several delicate desserts were placed in front of them.Aunt Melody smiled reassuringly, "It's Wendy who cares about me and knows that I like sweets. Byron has no such heart." The three of them chatted briefly for a while. Then Magdalene Fuller began casually bringing up news about Rosalie Jacobs as they speak."By the way, when Wendy went to see Old Master Quirke two days ago, she met the woman who divorced Byron six years ago. When did she return to Coast City, do you know?"Melody’s smile gradually disappeared upon hearing this, "Rosalie Jaco
After returning from the cafe, Melody Bloome became increasingly worried. When Benedict Lawrence got off work, she called her husband to go to the manor together.Byron Lawrence went to pick up Estie after work. As soon as the two entered the front door, they saw both of his folks sitting on the sofa with solemn expressions. Obviously, they had something to say."Dad, Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming over? Is there something wrong?" Byron asked in a puzzled way.Melody Bloome nodded solemnly, “We need to talk."Byron understood from his mother's serious face. He frowned slightly, turned to Mrs. Zora, and asked the housekeeper to take Little Estie upstairs.Mrs. Zora obliged. Estie greeted her grandparents politely and followed Mrs. Zora upstairs.Byron sat down on the single sofa beside his parents, "What made you come here so late?""Is Rosalie Jacobs back?" Melody Bloome went straight to the point.Hearing this, Byron’s eyes darkened, and admitted frankly, "Yes, we
Byron Lawrence has been silent.It wasn't until the two of them finished talking that he said calmly, "You think too much. I have no plans to let Rosalie Jacobs come back."At least, not now.While his parents were talking, Byron had been thinking about his contact with Rosalie Jacobs during this period. He concluded that their involvement during this period was mostly because of Estelle.Thinking of this, Byron felt a little ironic for no reason.Judging from Rosalie Jacobs's attitude when they first met, if it weren't for the presence of Estie, the woman would have avoided him.Whatever concerns that his parents have now is even less likely to happen.Melody Bloome's expression softened a little after hearing her son’s reply, "Alright then. What about Wendy Fuller? When are you going to make a decision? If you marry her soon, Estie will have someone to take care of her.”Byron refused with a frown, "Compared to Rosalie, I'm even more worried about entrusting Estie to Wendy. E
On the way to kindergarten, Estie sat in the back seat with her school bag in her arms, her eyes drooping, and her tiny body slumped.Wendy Fuller was determined to get acquainted with this little brat. At the very least it should look okay on the outside.Looking at Estie’s posture through the rearview mirror, she pretended to be concerned, "Is Estie not feeling well? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"Estie heard Wendy but did not raise her head.Wendy frowned yet continued to show concern softly, "How about I get you a day off from school? Let's go back home instead." There was still no response.Seconds later, Wendy became impatient, "Estelle Lawrence, I am asking you a question. Why are you making that face? I can’t even talk nicely to you now, is it?"Estie disassociated from hearing Wendy’s confrontational tone. She shrank into her seat even more and hugged her schoolbag tighter.Wendy Fuller noticed Estie’s obvious resistance towards her and thought about wha
Wendy Fuller finally stopped with satisfaction after seeing Estie’s body heave uncontrollably from suppressed crying. She released her grip and let the little girl get off her.Estie endured the pain and quickly crawled to the other side of the window. She held her schoolbag like a makeshift shield in front of her, sobbing."Good to know it hurts," Wendy Fuller sneered, "If you dare tell anybody about what happened today, I promise you will never see that woman again."With that, she got out of the back seat and drove Estie to kindergarten."We are here. Now wipe your face this instant!" Wendy Fuller ordered coldly as she parked at the gate of the kindergarten.Remembering Wendy’s threat just now, Estie was afraid that she would never see the beautiful lady again. So she quickly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her palms.Wendy checked to see if Estie looked presentable, then she got out of the car holding Estie's hand. Wendy looked down at the little girl and warne
When the teacher heard that Wendy Fuller wanted to make a huge donation to the kindergarten, she agreed with a smile and called the principal.Once she hung up the phone, she led her to the principal's office.The principal had been waiting in the office. As they made their way into the office, he immediately served Wendy tea with a smile, "Miss Fuller, please have a seat." Wendy politely accepted the tea and sat down opposite him, "I’m sure you already know the purpose of my visit." The principal nodded enthusiastically, "I heard that you are willing to donate some equipment to our kindergarten, I will thank you on behalf of the children." However, the face of the person on the opposite seemed unfriendly...Wendy Fuller took a sip of tea, unfeeling with a distant tone, "Not only that, I can donate five million dollars to the kindergarten, you can use it as you please, but I have one request." The principal looked puzzled, "And your request would be...""Some time ago, the
