At this time, Byron did not notice anything amiss.His mind was completely on the little woman."Have some water, you’ve been talking for so long," Byron handed Rosalie a glass, and she took it with a smile.This involuntarily made Chloe feel lonely again.Byron did not even bother with the decorum now. He did not even ask her if she was thirsty.She could only call out to the server. "Waiter, I'm not used to your tea. Give me a glass of water with a slice of lemon."The glass of water with lemon arrived along with the food.Chloe saw it again. Byron kept adding food to Rosalie's plate. However, Byron did not express anything to her as a guest.This made her feel awkward.‘If I had known earlier, I would not have come.‘Why didn't I turn this invitation down? I’ve lost my posture to let Rosalie treat me to this meal.’The atmosphere turned quiet several times, so Chloe initiated the conversation. "Byron, Miss Jacobs, why didn't you bring the kids out for dinner today?" She

Melody's face froze, and her gaze turned cold. "I didn't mean that. I didn't say that Rosalie's life isn’t important. But, have you ever considered that the Lincolns would believe that the marriage was real and announced to the public? Don't you need to consider Chloe's reputation?"Byron did not want to have any conflict with his mother.After thinking about it, he calmed down and replied. "I thought about it at that time. You can also ask Chloe about this matter. I only did this after asking for her consent."Melody raised her eyebrows immediately. "Agree? Of course, she would agree. Chloe has been good to you ever since you two were little. Didn't she let you have any toys you wanted when you were a child? She is just being kind.""..." Byron balked.He had a feeling that his mother was about to make a fuss about this matter. Melody became aggressive. "Am I right? Even if Chloe agrees, you can’t just mope over this matter. Have you been to the Lincolns after everything? At le

"Aunty Melody, why do you look so pale? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"Chloe put down the bags and hurriedly approached Melody. She took the older lady’s hand and asked with concern on her face.Melody was so angry that her palms were sweating. Then, she immediately felt much more at ease when Chloe held her hand.After all, Chloe was from a prominent family. She was much more sensible than a woman like Rosalie.Melody changed to a smiling face as she calmed down. "I'm alright. What are you doing here with so many gifts?""Are you all right? Sit down and have some water first. Is there something wrong with your body? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Chloe comforted Melody as they sat down together.Melody shook her head. "I'm really fine. You could just come over, there's no need to bring any gifts!""Oh, it's like this. I went to visit Miss Jacobs this morning. I bought some supplement because she was recovering from a serious illness. Of course, I thought about gett

As soon as Chloe walked out the door, Benedict's face turned serious right after."What's wrong with you? Don't always talk nonsense about our family affairs!"His voice was so stern that it made Melody's face turn ugly."What? I'm not wrong. Besides, Chloe is much closer to me than that Rosalie. She's not really an outsider. Why would she, as an outsider, decide to play pretend with our son and help save Rosalie in the end?"Benedict frowned at his wife’s angry face."You, why can't you respect Byron's choice? Byron is no longer a child. Can you stop being so controlling? Whether it's his relationship, marriage, or family, let him deal with it himself. Can't you just enjoy the happiness?"Benedict's mentality was purely laissez-faire.He had been galloping in the business industry for decades, and he learned a lesson well— no matter what the reason, one will never be able to persuade others if the other party refuses to listen.Even those closest to you!Therefore, in the ear

Before Melody could put another word in, the principal had brought Lucian and Nox over.When the two little boys saw Benedict and Melody, their faces were unmoved, while Estie smiled happily at them."Brother, hurry up and call Grandpa and Grandma." Estie was extremely innocent, urging her two brothers to address their grandparents, so that they would be a family.However, the two little ones smiled at Estie and then looked curiously at Benedict, wanting to see Grandpa's reaction.With a pure smile on his face, Benedict knelt down and put both his hands on both of their little heads. "What's the matter? Why won’t you call me when you see me? Come, come here, my grandsons. My precious grandsons!"With that said, he pulled the two boys into a deep hug without waiting for the boys to be stunned.Lucian and Nox looked at each other. They felt complicated emotions.There were shocks, doubts, and great surprises.Lucian gave Nox a final glance, and the two almost shouted in unison. "
