Yves' expression changed when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Rosalie.‘She is taking Xander to dinner?’‘When did this happen?’‘How did I not know about this?’‘Or, were they privately in contact again?’Yves’ mind was bombarded with all these thoughts, he could not help but ask what was in his heart. "Really? When did this happen?"Rosalie said, "Yesterday, Young Master Xander told me about medicinal material, so I suggested it.”Then she looked back at Xander again. "Young Master Xander, you’ve helped our research institute mend such a huge gap. I should invite you to dinner, but it's just a meal, which is insignificant compared to our relationship."Her words meant to reject what Xander had said, that she used this meal to replace their relationship.Xander was nonchalant about it. He just glanced at Yves who was beside him, and asked Rosalie playfully."Then how are you going to repay me for this favor, Miss Jacobs?"Yves felt those eyes swept past him, along with
For a long while, nobody spoke.After the meals were served, the three of them started to eat separately.Yves looked at the two people beside him, something strange flashed across his eyes."Speaking of which, about the mastermind behind the last fire, I think we may need Young Master Xander's help."Hearing this, Rosalie and Xander were both stunned.Xander even stopped mid-mouthful and raised his eyebrows to look at Yves. "Oh. why do you say so?"Yves said, "The employee that was bribed had something happen at home. This was an internal matter that is only known within the research institute. However, that person was able to pinpoint that employee precisely, and targeted his weakness, which shows that the mastermind has thoroughly investigated our research institute."His statement was much more rigorous than the last. "Or, this person had investigated every employee in the institute, and finally selected that person to do the deed."This was the first time Rosalie heard thi
”What’s wrong?” The two of them were the consummate gentlemen as they prepared to wait for Rosalie to leave before going off. However, they did not see any movement from her car even after waiting a while, so they went over to have a look. Appearing somewhat helpless, Rosalie said, “The car’s not working.” It was likely that the car had not been fixed thoroughly after it was hit the last time. Upon hearing this, Xander and Yves looked at each other.Xander said, “Let me take a look for you.” With that, he climbed into the car to examine it. He had always had a deep interest in cars and thought the current issue was merely due to Rosalie not knowing much about cars. Just as he was about to get started, he heard Rosalie say, “This car was hit a while ago, so it might not have been repaired properly. I’ll get it inspected and repaired another day.” Hearing that, Xander stopped what he was doing. Since she knew the reason, it must not be a matter of human error anymore
Xander’s voice sounded after some time.“Why didn’t you go in Dr. Graham’s car?”He was a little surprised by Rosalie’s reaction just now.The question took Rosalie by surprise, and she answered slowly.“I work a lot with Dr. Graham, so I want to avoid any personal relationship as much as possible to prevent it from affecting our job.”Xander was in a puzzle. “Don’t I work with you a lot too?” Rosalie was startled again and only spoke after a few seconds, “It’s different. Our cooperation with Lancer Corporation is only for the short term. Moreover, the two of us don’t have many interactions regarding work.”Strictly speaking, they both mainly met because of business-related issues.Lancer Corporation was more like an investor than a partner in this project.Xander nodded, understanding his position in Rosalie’s heart.There was another silence in the car.After a while, Xander looked at her suddenly as if he recalled something.Rosalie’s puzzled gaze met his.
Xander accepted Rosalie’s appreciation of his invitation.Rosalie said nothing more and said goodbye before getting out of the car.When she opened the car door, she unexpectedly saw Lisa and the two little ones.“Mommy!”The little ones had just returned from kindergarten and were excited to see their mommy.Then, they saw that Rosalie did not come back in her car.If they were not mistaken…It was the car Xander drove that morning.When the little ones were guessing, Xander popped his head out from behind Rosalie and smiled at them. “Have you guys just come back from school?”The little ones nodded slowly and seemed a little unhappy.Mommy said she was going with Xander to work, yet Xander drove her back home again.They felt the two adults had an ambiguous relationship no matter how they looked at it.An alarm rang in the minds of the two little ones.They decided to keep an eye on their mommy on behalf of their daddy before they got back together.Seeing
That night, Rosalie received a message from Xander before going to bed.It was about the time and venue of the next free clinic.It would be held two days later at an orphanage in the city.Rosalie replied with a simple answer and got to bed.However, Yves’ words lingered in her mind, disturbing her sleep.She barely dozed off after a long while.For the next two days, the little ones kept appearing before her.To be precise, they kept mentioning Byron to her.Rosalie had no idea why the little ones were so persistent about Byron and did not know how to face it.After pondering for a while, she threw herself into the preparation for the next free clinic.Seeing her busy working, the little ones finally gave up.Two days later, Xander’s car pulled over in front of Rosalie’s villa early in the morning.Rosalie was about to head out and grab a taxi. However, when she left the house, she was shocked to see Xander’s car at her gate.“Your car might not be ready so
Rosalie had expected them to be busy and unable to cope.However, the children seemed to cooperate with them. It made her wonder if it was because of the small gifts she had brought.Everything proceeded in good order.Perhaps because this was an urban area, the condition of this orphanage was much better than the one in the suburbs last time.Apart from a few congenital disabilities, these children had no severe problems.Seeing fewer children in the line, Rosalie gradually relaxed.When the last child walked into the tent, Rosalie took a stuffed bunny doll from the gift bag and gave it to him.The little one looked surprised. He lifted his head and thanked Rosalie politely, “Thank you, Ma’am!”Then, he carefully took the bunny doll from Rosalie.Rosalie smiled and touched the little one’s head. However, she noticed that the little one’s face seemed pale.Her relaxed emotions gradually turned into worry. She looked at the little one with concern and asked, “Do you feel any d
“Do you feel any discomfort?”After waiting for a while, Rosalie asked, still feeling unsure.The little one shook his head. He felt nothing other than the sharp pain when the needle poked into his skin.Rosalie was relieved to see that.After a while, Rosalie removed the needles after the treatment was completed.The little one sat up and looked at Rosalie naively. “Ma’am, am I all right now?”Rosalie felt sorry for the kid and said, “No. We have to observe your situation continuously. You have to pay attention to your health and not do strenuous activities, okay?”The little one agreed.Rosalie prescribed some herbal medicines for the little one, and Xander gave her some suggestions along the way.After considering it for a while, she decided to change her prescription according to Xander’s suggestion.The little one took the prescription to the pharmaceutical worker to take the medication.Rosalie’s gaze was sad upon watching the little guy leave.The free cl
