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
The immense pain caused Violet to become delusional. Besides the heart-piercing howls, she suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.She bit her lip until her mouth were filled with blood. Her face was grim and distorted and her eyes bulged out of the sockets.She stared at Rosalie viciously and sneered in a sinister way. "Rosalie Jacobs, so what if I poisoned your mother to death? Who made her a b*tch, unwilling to divorce obediently, and kept taking money from Gordon. She isn’t that great! Hahaha...""......" Rosalie's blood boiled. The seventh silver needle appeared in her hand.At this time, Byron quickly walked to her side and grabbed her.‘If my wife is overtaken by her emotions and takes a step forward, she would be a murderer for sure.’He hugged Rosalie, not letting her go any further.Sophie saw her mother in such pain. She stared at Rosalie with red eyes and kept yelling. "Rosalie, how dare you treat my mother like this? I will kill you! I will definitely kill you..."
When Violet heard Rosalie's concrete words, her face was horrified, and her eyes darted quickly."Rosalie, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done something like this? Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth
The chainsaw roared, and the iron chain was severed in less than thirty seconds, followed by two iron doors which collapsed to the ground.Byron and Rosalie walked in through the iron gate.The frightened Sophie rushed downstairs first. When she saw the couple, she panicked and shouted. "What are you trying to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal. I'll call the police immediately!"With that, she took out her mobile phone and feigned intimidation.Rage shot to the top of Rosalie’s head. She rushed over, snatched Sophie's phone, and smashed it to pieces on the ground.How refreshing to be the bad guy.For the past twenty years or so, Rosalie had been a pro at being a good person. She always suffered losses from being kind.The best way to deal with shameless people was to be even more shameless than them. In this way, there was nothing the opponent could do.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds, but she could not stop Rosalie at all."Where is Violet? Get the hell out n
Mama’s last will intermittently recorded the last three years of her life.When Rosalie finished reading her mother’s last word, the dam had broken, and she burst into loud sobs.The heart-piercing grief lingered in her chest. She kept murmuring under her breath. "Mama, my Mama...hurts so much in her life. She was in so much pain!"She tearfully looked at her husband. At this moment, Rosalie was like a frightened little animal, her entire body trembling helplessly.Byron read the will with her. The typically calm and introverted Byron felt his eyes burning and tears streamed down his face.Immediately, a monstrous anger appeared on his face. He exuded a deadly aura all over. He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Honey, we must avenge Mama. Violet is not human. She is just a beast clad in human skin!"Rosalie cried bitterly while hugging Byron, inconsolable for a long time.Finally, Detective Carter read the contents of the will and remained silent for a long time.The con
[My dear daughter, my beloved Rosalie, I wonder how many years later will you see this written will? Ten years, or twenty years? Or you may not see it at all."[Darling, Mama loves you very much, I love you too much. So, it is you who gave Mama the courage to accept my fate at this moment. I know very well that my life is slipping away bit by bit, but I don’t feel afraid at all!][However, Mama don’t know why such bad luck happened to you. You were only three years old and just learned to run and jump around, and you’ve just learnt to pronounce the word Mama properly. Despite that, death is around the corner, knocking on my door. Mama feels reluctant, this is such a waste! Mama prays to God, I’m willing to accept anything as long as you live, even if it means falling into hell.][You were suffering from a congenital genetic disorder. I took you to many hospitals and finally found a solution. However, the treatment cost is as high as one million dollars. Mama can't afford this at all
Byron, who has always been calm in dealing with things, felt anxious this time.The car continued to accelerate. There was no time to lose. He needed to verify personally whether the heirloom left by his mother-in-law were really hidden in the frame of the wedding photo.Rosalie also looked solemn, and her heart was beating fast.Violet cared so much about Mama’s heirloom. She was still looking for it even when she could not find it after more than ten years, which shows that this heirloom was of great importance.Perhaps, there was enough evidence in it to prove that Violet harmed her mother.Rosalie truly wanted to know; how did Violet manage to poison her slowly? At that time, she had no contact with Mama at all!In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jacobs old house.Early in the morning, Detective Carter still led his bodyguards to search around, knocking on every wall, trying to find some hidden storage space.Upon seeing the eager faces of the young couple, Detect
That voice seemed to unveil Rosalie's dust-sealed memory like an old chest.An image from that year flashed across her mind in an instant.Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Mama and Aunt Lou were eating cakes, chatting and laughing over tea. As the sun set, Rosalie came from the kindergarten on the corner of the street, lugging her schoolbag as she rushed home, less than a hundred meters away.Then, she exclaimed. "Mama, I'm home!"At that time, Mama was so healthy. Her eyes were always joyful, and she was as beautiful as an angel.Aunt Lou was also very young at the time, she had just married and had no children. She liked to ask her Mama for advice on family life issues.How wonderful it would be if life could stay that way forever!Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Gordon.Rosalie’s thoughts were raging. It took a long time before Rosalie came back to her senses and told Aunt Lou that she had returned to Coast City, and everything was fine.Aunt Lou continued to
On the second day of the wedding, Mary woke up and habitually thought that it was her home. She was about to go out in her pajamas.Fortunately, Andrius carried her back to bed just as she pushed the door open.Mary woke up from her confusion and realized her new identity, the daughter-in-law of the Quirke family.The husband held her, but suddenly refused to let go. His hands began to wander naughtily.Mary was astonished. They were keeping each other up until late last night. It was only a few hours apart."Is there any custom ceremony that has not been completed? Does your family need us to greet the elders on the first day after marriage?" She suddenly became flustered, and she was short of breath.She wanted to quickly change the subject, so her man would not continue his passionate torment.It would be really embarrassing if they made any noise this early in the morning.Andrius shook his head, and moved his lips closer, wanting to attack.Mary resolutely covered his lip
In the Jacobs’ old family home, Detective Carter kept receiving calls from the bodyguards, and knew the movements of Violet's family like the palm of his hand."Sure enough, it was a bait and switch. On the surface, two cars set off; one came to us and the other was headed to the airport. In actual fact, they escaped from the basement in a taxi. However, they were indeed unable to escape."Detective Carter summarized his updates and reported to Byron and Rosalie.The detective was shocked. The bodyguards that Byron arranged for him had excellent professional skills and strong execution ability. These men were obviously carefully cultivated.Byron nodded calmly.He sighed secretly in his heart. Sophie reacted exactly the same way as Xander Lancer back then, she chose to escape by water.Indeed, travel transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails have rigid, fixed schedules and are relatively easy to be discovered.Rosalie's mind was not present at all. As long as the hus
