Early the next morning, the tree planting event began.Miss Leigh Ann waited for the parents and children to finish their meals, then led everyone to the event location.This time, the school was collaborating with the botanical garden, and the botanical garden had specially set aside an area of land for the children to plant their trees.A group of staff was already waiting for them at the site.Seeing the children’s tiny and adorable appearances made the staff members excited to work with them.Miss Leigh Ann introduced the staff members to the parents. Then, she divided the parents into groups and instructed them to follow the staff members to retrieve the saplings.Hearing that they were going to be grouped, Estie looked at Rosalie eagerly. She stood in place without moving even when the teacher called her name.With furrowed eyebrows, Byron followed Estie’s line of sight. His eyes landed on the woman standing not far away, then he frowned silently.Rosalie still had her mi

Byron frowned. No matter which way he used it, he just could not figure out how to properly utilize this thing in his hands.Just as he was starting to feel annoyed, he noticed that a pair of eyes were looking at him softly.He looked up, and his eyes met Rosalie's smiling ones.When their eyes met, Rosalie immediately withdrew her gaze, and her expression became neutral again.Seeing this, Byron frowned, but the annoyance in his heart dissipated. He turned his head to a staff member and said, "I'm not really used to using this thing. Could you please show me how to use it?"The staff member had been watching from the sidelines for a while now. Although the man looked tall and strong, his posture was as stiff as ever when using the shovel. The staff member had wanted to tell him that he was doing it wrong, but the man gave off a somewhat distinguished vibe. When not talking, he exuded an aloof aura that made him difficult to approach. The staff member had tried speaking up several

“Since Miss Fuller is here and Estie’s tree is already planted, you should bring them home, President Lawrence.” Rosalie did not want to gain any attention from the people here, so she indifferently interrupted Wendy’s words. Hearing this, Wendy stood up straight and looked at Byron with a smile on her face. Her purpose for coming here today was to not let Byron be together with Rosalie. Now that this woman suggested it, it was exactly what she was hoping for. Hearing what she had to say, the look in Byron’s eyes darkened. He frowned and glanced at her. “Miss Jacobs, you helped me and Estie plant the tree. I can’t just leave you guys here. There’s one more tree. Let’s plant it together.”Rosalie frowned a little, wanting to reject. Beside her, Estie timidly called out, “Aunt…”Hearing the little kid’s voice, Rosalie glanced back. Her heart ached a little when she saw the kid’s conflicted expression. Obviously, the kid was still traumatized by the last time Wendy laid her

“Hmmph!”Nox also heard the praises for Wendy and snorted angrily. Rosalie snapped back into reality and asked the little guy with some confusion, “What’s wrong?”Nox poked the food on his plate and answered sullenly, “I don’t like that aunt.”Rosalie could not help but be stunned for a moment when she heard this. “Why?”The little guy had only met Wendy twice. Where did such a big prejudice come from?Nox looked up to see his Mommy and wanted to say it was because that woman wanted to marry Daddy and it was because of her that his dad left them behind.However, he remembered that Mommy did not know that he and Lucian knew about this. He puffed his mouth, swallowed the words he was about to say, and answered, “Because she’s mean to Estie and Estie doesn’t like her.” The mention of the kid made Rosalie’s heart ache a little, but she could not say anything. All she could do was placate them with a smile. “How could that be? She’s going to be Estie’s mother in the future. How co

The doorbell rang all of a sudden.Estie thought Rosalie and the rest were back, so her eyes gleamed as she leaped off the bed and quickly moved to open the door.Her gleaming eyes dimmed when she saw the person standing at the door.“Estie.” The smile plastered on Wendy’s face was a little forced.She was still a woman, and the roads that led here were basically hiking trails. Byron carried Estie and walked really quickly with no intentions of waiting for her.As they zoomed past her, she was left behind up to the extent that she could not even see them anymore.It was fortunate that there was only one hotel nearby. Hence, she was able to finally find them.After asking for their room number from the front desk, Wendy went straight up.Byron saw who was at the door, and his face fell as well.Wendy pretended that she did not see the change in the two people’s faces and walked into the room with a smile. She looked at Estie and said, “Estie, aren’t you feeling unwell? Why don’
