Chapter 58 You Can‘t Be Friends With Them

Rosalie had just wanted to call the research institute to let them know that she would be coming by later.

The person who happened to answer the phone, however, was Yves. He began telling her about a project that was scheduled for the next two days. There was a group of data in it that he did not understand.

Hence, Rosalie discussed it with him. Unexpectedly, she forgot the time the moment they started discussing work.

When she thought about hanging up the call, it was also because she had vaguely heard Byron‘s voice downstairs. In the end, Rosalie hurriedly concluded their discussion before hanging up the call immediately and trotting downstairs. She had almost forgotten that Byron would be the one coming by in a bit.

Those two little ones were still down there with Estie.

If Byron were to see them…

At the thought of what might happen, Rosalie panicked.

When she came down to try to stop them from meeting, however, it was obviously too late. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The moment Rosalie came to the corner of the stairs, she saw the man standing by the carpet. The three children were head to head picking up Lego blocks on the carpet in front of him, and they were almost done. Seemingly having heard her coming downstairs, the man turned and looked over, his expression indifferent.

Their eyes met. Rosalie could not help her expression from freezing. Clenching her palms, she forced herself to calm down before saying hello to the man as if nothing had happened.” You‘re here.”

Byron nodded coldly, but his eyes were still on her. The emotions in his gaze were dark and obscure.

When Rosalie thought of her two boys who had been exposed to Byron, she could not help but feel guilty. “So… do you want to take Estie back now, or…”

She was afraid that Byron might want to sit down and talk to her now that he found out about the two children.

Byron thought she was indirectly kicking him out, and his expression went slightly cold.” We‘ll be leaving now, don‘t worry. We won‘t remain in your house for too long.” With that, he turned to look at Estie who was still slowly packing up the Lego blocks. “Are you done with cleaning? It‘s time to go back.”

Estie did not want to leave in the first place and had been deliberately slow in cleaning up, but Lucian and Nox were too swift in their actions. They were nearly done cleaning up.

Hearing her daddy‘s urging, Estie stood up reluctantly and looked at Rosalie standing not far away with watery eyes.

Meeting the little girl‘s eyes, Rosalie went soft, but Byron was present. It was difficult for her to say anything comforting because of what had happened yesterday.

“Say thank you to the lady and then come back with me.” Byron‘s tone was cold. Hearing this, Estie‘s expression softened even more. She looked at Rosalie expectantly, hoping that the beautiful lady would invite her to come over again next time. After waiting for a while, however, she did not hear a word. Estie lowered her gaze with a look of loss.

“The lady still needs to go to work. Let‘s stop disturbing her,” Byron pressed. Estie gulped slowly as she picked up her small notebook to write a single ‘thank you‘, though she took quite a while to write it. When she was done, she raised the book to Byron instead.

[Daddy, can we come play with the lady and brothers again next time? I really want to be their friend.]

Everyone saw the line of words. Rosalie and the boys could not bear it, but because of Byron‘s expression, they still said nothing. Byron swept his gaze across their reactions. Seeing his daughter still depending on them, he gritted his teeth.

“No.” The moment he said that, Estie’s expression crumbled and her eyes went red. Lips pursed, she sobbed silently, looking very broken–hearted.
