The three kids were excited that their daddy was taking them out for the first time.Everyone, especially Nox, kept calling Byron ‘Daddy’ and was getting used to it.Byron took them to the amusement park and had a good time with them there. When it was nearly dawn, he drove them to the movie theater to watch a movie.Just as they were watching the movie, Byron’s phone buzzed, and he glanced at the caller ID, only to see it was a call from Rosalie.Byron whispered to the little ones, asking them to be obedient and wait for him while he headed out to answer the call.Just as the call went through, Rosalie’s anxious voice sounded. “Where are you? I just came back home and noticed the kids are missing. Did they go looking for you?In the villa, Rosalie walked from door to door to check if the children were hiding behind the doors.Rosalie had been busy working overtime these days and neglected her children.She had also noticed the little ones looked listless these days.When she
When the four returned, Rosalie had prepared dinner and was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed.She woke up at the noise in the doorway and opened it.“Mommy!”Three little cutie pies came and hugged her legs fondly.Rosalie looked at them, smiled, and touched their heads. “Did you all have a good time today?”Nox nodded hard and turned around to look at Byron. His eyes were sparkling with joy as he said, “Yes! Daddy took us to the amusement park and for a movie.”Rosalie also seemed affected by the little ones’ joy and smiled broadly.After a few seconds, she noticed how the little boy had just addressed Byron, and her smile froze.She could not ask the little one anything but lifted her head and shot Byron a suspicious look.Sensing her interrogatory look, he explained calmly, “I asked them to call me that outside. After all, I’ve already issued the announcement, and I’m afraid there’ll be trouble if people hear them calling me Mr. Byron.”Hearing him say so, a strang
After dinner, the three little ones left some space for Byron and Rosalie and headed upstairs.Rosalie cleaned the table and was about to wash the dishes, but Byron stopped her and gently pushed her aside.“You seem tired. Go outside and have some rest.”He rolled up his sleeves and started doing the chores as he spoke.Although it was not the first time Rosalie saw Byron doing house chores, she still could not adapt.If Byron had been willing to treat her like this six years ago, they would have lived happily.“Where is Lisa? Why is she not around recently?”Since Rosalie did not go out, Byron decided to chat casually with her.Rosalie snapped out of her daze and answered, “She’s feeling unwell, so I gave her a few days off.”Byron suggested. “Why don’t I get you another nanny to help you take care of the kids, then?”Rosalie shook her head and refused. “It’s alright. I don’t trust anyone else now. I can take care of the kids myself after finishing the starting part of this
Neither spoke again, and the hand that pressed her temple rested on her shoulder instead.During the process, Byron occasionally rubbed his thumbs on her neck.Rosalie was caught off guard. All she felt was that a light current had run through her spine, and her body froze momentarily.The next moment, her shoulders were pressed with just the proper force.“How does it feel? Is this force just right?” Byron’s voice sounded gentler than just now.Rosalie glanced at him, and her eyes met his gentle gaze. Flustered, she looked away and nodded. “Yes.”Byron did not intend to let go. “I don’t know about acupoints that can relax muscles. Why don’t you teach me some?”As he spoke, his massage on her neck became gentler.The atmosphere between the two people became ambiguous.Rosalie cleared her throat calmly. “Why do you want to know this? You can’t massage yourself.”“I can help you relax your muscles the next time you’re tired from a busy day at work.”Rosalie’s pupils quivered,
The lingering kiss gradually became intense.Rosalie even felt a little breathless, and she realized what was happening, making her glance upstairs.The little ones were upstairs. They might see this the moment they walked out.Realizing this, Rosalie pushed Byron away in a panic.Byron obediently loosened his grip.“Don’t do that…”Before Rosalie could even finish her sentence, Byron kissed her again.Byron was only giving her a chance to breathe.He almost lifted Rosalie off the sofa.Just as they were kissing, Rosalie felt his big hand sliding down her neck and gradually approaching her chest.Aware of the man’s intention, Rosalie’s panic grew.She feared the kids would see them and did not know how to face what would happen next.In desperation, she fumbled for the numbing acupoint on the man’s arm and pressed hard.Byron’s movements stopped abruptly.Rosalie took advantage of the situation to push him away. She knelt on the sofa, desperately wanting to hide behind it
Rosalie was exhausted and would sleep soundly after she got back from work recently.However, she did not feel sleepy tonight after lying in bed for a long time.Instead, Byron’s passionate and dangerous gaze when they kissed kept appearing in her mind.Rosalie could not help feeling nervous at the thought of the man sitting downstairs.Only when she heard the door closing downstairs did she feel relieved.She got up, looked out the window, and saw Byron enter the car. The car stopped downstairs for a while and then slowly drove out.Looking at Byron’s car driving away. Rosalie walked back to her bed.In the end, she was so tired that she dozed off.Rosalie was unsure if it was because Byron massaged her shoulders, but she felt better than a few days ago when she got up.It was Sunday, and Rosalie did not go to the research institute. She accompanied the kids at home and gave herself a day of break.After dropping the kids off at school the following day, Rosalie headed to th
It was time for the kids to get off school, and Rosalie’s car pulled over by the roadside on time.Rosalie got out of the car, made herself look less tired, and strode to the kindergarten gate to wait for the little ones to come out.More parents were gathered outside the gate.Soon, Rosalie’s figure got lost in the crowd.Lucille waited a long time at the corner. After confirming that Rosalie could not see her, she sneaked out.As she observed her surroundings, she tip-toed to Rosalie’s car.Lucille wore a hat, a mask, and even sunglasses.It attracted quite a few curious looks along the way.However, everyone was so busy picking up their children that they did not pay much attention to her.Soon, Lucille stopped beside Rosalie’s car.She forced herself to relax for a moment and squatted down slowly by the side of the car, pretending to be inspecting the car and touching the tires.In the process, she secretly took out a small bottle of grease from her bag and fumbled for t
“Byron?”Rosalie, who took the children to the car, saw Byron interrogating Lucille.When she saw Byron seemed mad, she quickly stopped the kids. Then, she reminded Byron to pay attention and not use violence with the kids around her.Byron’s grip tightened. However, after a second, he let go of Lucille and beckoned the bodyguards to let go of her.Lucille panted in terror and desperately tried to escape, but her feet seemed rooted, and she could not lift them.“Daddy!”The three little ones saw their daddy, who was tall, and greeted him warmly even when Rosalie stopped them.The scene seemed harmonious, so Rosalie let go of the kids.The little ones saw Lucille, who seemed strange, standing by the side. Even so, they greeted her obediently, “Ms. Crane.”Lucille was drowned in dread, and she did not notice the kids’ voices.The kids looked at the adults beside them when Lucille did not respond to their greeting.“Daddy, what are you doing here with Ms. Crane?”Nox asked in
