Mrs. Zora approached them and glanced at the little ones before explaining to Byron.“Madam Lawrence came this afternoon and took the kids out. Maybe they’re exhausted.”Lucian wanted to avoid mentioning this. However, since Mrs. Zora had told Byron and Rosalie, they could only nod their heads.This was something new, and it surprised Rosalie, making her ponder.‘Melody took the children out?‘She has hated Lucian and Nox all this while. Even if she wanted to take anyone out, she would only take Estelle. Why would she take even the little boys?‘Moreover, the three kids look unhappy…’Rosalie frowned and wanted to ask something, but Byron was around. If Melody did something overboard, she would only be putting Byron in a difficult situation.Upon thinking this, Rosalie gave up on asking anything and touched the kids’ heads, trying to comfort them. “Let’s go to bed early after dinner if you’re tired.”Then, she took the kids to wash their hands and seated them by the dining tab

Byron felt sorry for Lucian and Nox upon hearing it.The place the little boys took the taxi to before this was the manor they lived in now.He recalled the time when Lucian came looking for Estelle. The teenagers almost beat them up, and Byron’s displeasure with his mother’s act grew.The two boys were still young. They were still Estelle’s friends and half-brothers, even if they were not his sons like he had announced to the public.However, his mother was so mean that she could dump the two kids in the amusement park.Fortunately, nothing happened to the boys. If anything had happened to them…Byron would not know how to explain himself to Rosalie.Upon thinking of the danger the boys might have faced, Byron was afraid.“We’re smart, Daddy. The driver was also a nice person. He didn’t want to take our money at first…”Lucian noticed Byron’s anger and appeased him.Looking at the kids speaking up for his mother, Byron felt terrible and hugged them.“I’m sorry that Grandma

Rosalie failed to get any information about that afternoon from her children.Lucian and Nox were afraid she might be persistent and quickly requested to play games.With that, Rosalie could not continue asking and had to play with them instead.Soon, the four were having fun in the living room.When Byron was back, Rosalie and the little ones were still playing.“Have you settled what you went out for?”Noticing Byron’s cold expression, Rosalie asked with concern.The kids were obedient and immediately remained silent.Byron nodded as he glanced at Lucian and Nox. However, looking at them reminded him of what his mother had said just now, making him feel sorry for them.“Daddy, come join us!”The little boys could see their daddy was blaming himself and tried to comfort him by grabbing his hand.Byron was startled for a few seconds before holding their hands as he walked to Rosalie’s side with them.Then, the two adults accompanied the kids by playing with them.Looking a

“Okay… Andrius, Byron said you wanted to meet me. May I know why you came? Is it because you’ve found a substitute supplier to replace Lancer Corporation for the research institute?”Rosalie hesitated for a moment before changing the way she addressed Andrius.Andrius’ face bloomed, and he nodded. “Thanks to the good reputation of the research institute under your lead, the suppliers agreed to cooperate when they heard the research institute’s name.”Rosalie glanced at the man beside her, then back at Andrius.She had only been working in the research institute for a while.With what she knew about the business field, the suppliers might have agreed because Andrius went to negotiate personally and because he might have mentioned Lawrence Corporation.That was probably why the medicinal material suppliers agreed without hesitation.Byron held Rosalie’s hand like Andrius did not exist and massaged her back with another hand. It seemed he was afraid Andrius would not know Rosalie w

Rosalie was both mad and grateful toward Byron. She was angry he left hickeys on her and was thankful he helped her. Thus, she did not know how to answer him.Byron did not mind it and hugged her from behind. He looked at the hickeys before kissing her again.Rosalie’s face blushed, and she avoided his kiss. “Did you already notice them earlier?”Byron stared at the hickeys and put on a regretful look as he said, “I should’ve kissed you on the neck.”Rosalie was annoyed to hear that. “I can’t cover them if you kiss me there!”Byron shrugged, saying, “I just want everyone to know you’re my woman.”Before Rosalie got angry, the man helplessly buried his head in her shoulder. His voice was close to her ear.“Since you still haven’t accepted my proposal, I can only tell everyone you’re mine like this…”It sounded as if he was aggrieved.Rosalie’s forehead puckered. After a while, she calmed down and touched his head to comfort him. “What’s the difference between me accepting and n
