Chapter 1452 First to Venture
The venue Xander chose was a teahouse with a vintage atmosphere. It was a style the Lancer family liked most.When Rosalie arrived, Xander was already waiting for her inside. Upon seeing her, he beckoned her to approach him.Rosalie stepped into the place and sat down opposite him.This time, they sat in the corner, and there was a sandalwood-scented decoration by the table.Perhaps accustomed to the smell of traditional herbs, Rosalie felt strangely comfortable with the scent assailing her nostrils.She did not think much of it and took it as part of the vintage decorations in this teahouse.“I’m sorry that I’m late again.”After taking her seat, Rosalie apologized to Xander embarrassedly.The meeting was meant to apologize for the delay due to her absence, but unexpectedly, she was late.That was inappropriate.Xander smiled and did not seem to mind. He poured her a cup of tea and said, “It’s alright. This teahouse is quite far from your research institute, and I happened t
Chapter 1453 She Rejected
Rosalie was a little moved upon hearing his explanation.“However, I’m not an expert in cancer to support the medication research.”She was still hesitant.In recent years, she studied traditional medicine practices rather than medicinal materials.Now, when it came to herbs to treat cancer, Rosalie was not confident.Xander seemed to understand her concern and said, “To be honest with you, several of the Lancer family’s existing medical books have records in this aspect of research, but because of the ancient technical problems, our ancestors did not study it thoroughly. It was these medical books that inspired me.”Rosalie’s eyes lit up in joy upon hearing that. She looked at the man before her.If she could read these medical books, perhaps she could get some inspiration.However, that was the private asset of the Lancer family, and she was still determining if they were willing to let her use them as a reference.“I’ve given you some books on traditional medicine before, a
Chapter 1454 Stared at Us
Unsure if it were her imagining things, she felt that Xander’s attitude toward her now differed from before.“I won’t regret it. Young Master Xander, if you still wish to cooperate with our research institute. I’ll do my best to cooperate.”She tried to put away her concern about Xander’s change in attitude and assured Xander with a smile.Xander lifted his teacup and said, “Let’s toast with tea instead of wine for our future cooperation in the new project.”Rosalie raised her cup and clinked it with his.After that, they briefly discussed the research project and decided on the starting time and the time when Lancer Corporation would provide the medicinal herbs of the agreed quantity to the research institute.By the time they had finished their discussion, it was evening.Rosalie excused herself and looked at the time. It was time for the kids to get off school.When Linda called to ask if she needed to pick up the kids from kindergarten, Rosalie refused her offer.She had b
Chapter 1455 Admit Those Brats’ Identities
Rosalie’s life was starting to get back on track, while Byron’s was still a little messed up.In the evening, after dealing with Lawrence Corporation’s work that had piled up these days, Byron pondered if he should visit Rosalie’s place. However, he received a call from his mother, asking him to head home soon.Upon hearing his mother’s displeased tone through the phone, Byron’s forehead puckered. Instead of heading to Rosalie’s place, he decided to head back to Lawrence Manor.Just as he entered the manor, he saw Melody sitting on the sofa.“What are you doing here?” he frowned and asked.Melody turned around and reprimanded, “I wouldn’t even have known that you were back if I didn’t visit your place.”Byron and Rosalie did not mention to anyone that they went abroad.Melody had come looking for her son to get an explanation for that matter, but he was not at home for days.Every time she mentioned Rosalie and the two boys, Byron brushed her off and cut off the call.Melody h
Chapter 1456 Needed Identities
Melody did not think she was doing anything wrong. She was only thinking on behalf of the Lawrence family. On the contrary, Byron was getting more and more insensible.Then, she looked at her son expectantly, hoping he would understand.Unexpectedly, Byron still looked at her indifferently and did not change his mind. “Most of Lawrence Corporation’s success today is because of me. So, it’s my choice to choose who I should distribute the assets.”As long as the boys were capable, he would not mind handing Lawrence Corporation to them.Melody could barely catch her breath upon hearing this.“Moreover, they’re so young. Don’t you think it’s too early to worry about this now?” Byron glanced at his mother.Melody wanted to continue to persuade Byron, but he interrupted her. “As for you, you’re getting old and don’t have to meddle with all these anymore. I can deal with my own matters. If you have so much leisure time, why don’t you go on a trip with Dad? It would be good for your heal
Chapter 1457 Restricted Me From Visiting Estie
Benedict knitted his eyebrows together and sounded helpless.“I’ve told you before that you should let him handle his own marriage. Children and grandchildren have their lives. We don’t have to interfere so much.”Melody disapproved of Benedict’s perception. “No, I can’t just let him be. Is his marriage his matter? It would be fine if he’s marrying some other woman, but…“Of all people, he wants to marry that Jacobs woman who even has two brats!”Benedict could see Melody was displeased with Rosalie. However, he still spoke to her patiently, “No matter who Byron marries, it’s his matter. He’s an adult. We can’t interfere with everything he does.”Melody refused to give in and continued complaining, “If he had married Wendy years ago, it wouldn’t have ended like this.”Then, she glanced at her husband beside her and blamed him for it. “It’s your fault for letting him do as he wishes. That’s why he dragged on his marriage with Wendy until today.”“Facts have proved that Wendy isn’
Chapter 1458 A Misunderstanding About Your Mother
Benedict was puzzled. “Why? You’re Estie’s grandmother. Why wouldn’t she let you visit Estie? Is there any misunderstanding between you and her?”Melody sighed sadly. “What misunderstanding can there be? She has had a grudge against me since she left six years ago. After she returned, I tried to get Wendy to marry Byron and restricted her from meeting Byron. I guess she hates me because of that.”With that, she lowered her head and leaned her upper body on Benedict’s arm as if she had been suffering from grievances.“She hasn’t got back together with Byron, yet she’s already treating me like this. What should I do if she marries Byron one day? Will she stop me from visiting my son and granddaughter?”Benedict knew nothing about the previous conflicts between the two.His first reaction was to try to settle the problem upon hearing his wife’s words.“There must have been a misunderstanding between you two. Just talk it out.”He believed his son would never fall for a woman who wa
Chapter 1459 Less Awkward Than It Used to Be
Byron did not expect his father to want to meet Estelle so soon.After hanging up the call, Byron looked at the time. It was still early. He wanted to call Rosalie to tell her about it, but after pondering, he headed downstairs with his coat.Downstairs, Mrs. Zora had prepared dinner. When she saw Byron, she said, “Sir, dinner is ready.”Byron paused and said, “You can have dinner. I won’t be eating at home tonight.”Before Mrs. Zora could process what he had just said, he strode out of the manor.Upon seeing Byron leaving, she was a little puzzled but soon realized what he meant.Who else could make Byron go out with such an expression and leave the house in a hurry?Byron was going to Rosalie’s place again! He must be having dinner there that night....When she heard the doorbell, Rosalie had just finished cooking dinner and was taking the kids to a table.She put down her cutlery, got up, and looked at the intercom. She froze momentarily when she saw the person on the scr
