Rosalie looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the little girl curled up in the corner with her knees tucked in. Her eyes were empty, like a delicate doll without a soul.Thinking of the little girl's sweet smile every time she saw her, Rosalie’s heartbreak felt physical. She could not breathe.This morning, the little girl was still holding her skirt with bright eyes, but now, her gaze had become like this...Rosalie walked into the room carefully, squatted down in front of the little girl, and softly called out her name, "Estie, Aunt’s here."Little Estie did not respond at all.Seeing the little girl like this, Rosalie could not make a sound for a while.Lucas reminded in a low voice behind her. "Miss Jacobs, Estie has now closed her heart and isolated herself completely from the outside world. You have to communicate with her more so that you can bring her out of this. Be patient."Hearing this, Rosalie tried hard to calm down. She nodded silently and started talkin

Byron’s stern and icy tone made Wendy's heart tighten. The little hope she had just now disappeared.She wanted to get dressed up to meet him, but Byron said to meet in half an hour. Wendy just grabbed her purse and went out in a hurry.Her house was a long way from the restaurant. Her driver was going at lightning speed for her to arrive on time.When Wendy entered, Byron was already waiting for her at the seat by the window.Hearing movement at the door, the man raised his eyes and looked over. His expression was colder than the night outside the window."Byron, what's the matter?" Wendy felt inexplicably guilty and carefully sat down opposite him while clutching her purse.Byron stared at her for a few seconds. The atmosphere around him was terrifyingly silent.Wendy clenched her fingers nervously and forced a calm smile on her face."You sent Estie to school this morning." After a long while, he spoke sternly and coldly.Wendy nodded quickly. "Mrs. Lawrence asked me to help,

Upon hearing this, Rosalie's heart sank. She immediately defended herself. "Let me be clear, I have nothing to do with this! I’ve always felt that children are innocent. Furthermore, Lucian and Nox adore Estie so much. I’ll never do anything to hurt her."After all, she had not reconciled with Byron. Now that Little Estie was found to be badly beaten while under her care, she had become the main suspect.Moreover, she did have some alone time with Estie.She would not be able to explain if Byron suspected her of this.For a while, Rosalie felt uneasy.Byron was in deep contemplation when he heard her defense. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Rosalie. "I wasn’t suspecting you at all, and I can probably guess who did this."Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried about Estie. "Who did it?"Byron’s inner storm was slowly brewing as he traced his thoughts on the matter.Last night, his parents took Estie away from the manor involuntarily. Although h

Rosalie agreed and went upstairs with Byron.There was only one night light on in the room, and Estie had already fallen asleep. Rosalie was mindful of her movements because she did not want to wake her up.Byron stood outside the door with his hands in his pockets. His eyes slowly moved from Estie to the arrangement of the room.He saw that Rosalie's room was extraordinarily tidy and clean. There were also a few plush toys, likely left there by the two little boys. It made the room look warm and homely.After watching for a while, the lingering anger from earlier slowly disappeared, leaving only warmth in his heart."Okay, all good now," whispered Rosalie after she applied the medicine onto Estie’s bruise. The woman carefully observed and saw that the little girl was still sound asleep, so she got up with confidence.As soon as she turned around, she met the man's scrutinizing eyes.Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.Byron gathered himself and nodded lightly. "T

Rosalie also felt the same way in the morning. Her heart softened from what Nox said, and she responded with a smile, "Maybe. Thank you for taking care of her. I’m more at ease.” Nox swore and patted his little chest as his childlike voice assured, "Don't worry, Mommy. Brother, and I will continue to take care of her!"Rosalie burst out laughing.Hearing the little guy's assurance and Rosalie's light laughter, Byron could not help but glance through the rearview mirror. Their affectionate interaction brought warmth to his heart.‘I have to say that this woman taught these two little boys very well. Compared to children of the same age, the two of them behave like adults.’When they reached Rosalie’s place, Byron planned to leave immediately after. After all, he saw that Rosalie was taking good care of Estie. Even her two children treated Estelle like their own sister. There was no need for him to stay and make them uncomfortable.Rosalie got the kids out of the car and took one
