Byron suddenly lowered his head and got close to Rosalie's ear. "There’s a sofa in my room. You’ll take the bed, and I’ll sleep on the sofa. Can you rest assured now?"His warm breath tickled Rosalie's ears, turning them red. She consciously glanced at Mrs. Zora and the little ones beside her.Fortunately, they seemed to not hear anything."Mommy, we haven't had your breakfast for a long time..."Nox stared at her pitifully. The words ‘please stay’ were implicitly written all over his little face.Little Estie held onto the hem of her clothes tightly, unwilling to let her go.Although Lucian did not speak, he stared at her helplessly.Rosalie could not bear to refuse the little ones due to the look on their faces, so she just nodded her head in agreement.Once she agreed, Byron immediately turned to the three little ones. "It's getting late and your mommy has been tired all day. Let her rest early, and you should go to bed early too."After that, he dragged Rosalie upstairs an
Byron's footsteps paused slightly. He turned a corner and walked toward the bed.The little woman nestled drowsily on his bed, revealing most of her radiant-white delicate shoulders. Byron's eyes gradually darkened.Rosalie was still a little confused, and her voice was waxy. "What's the matter? Go wash up and get some rest."Byron's breathing gradually became heavy from her muddled expression, but there was still a bit of restraint in him.If Rosalie were completely awake, she would have noticed something strange and avoided him.Now, she was not only unaware, but she also looked up at the man, revealing her delicate neck in the most vulnerable way.Rosalie paused but got no response from Byron. She did not wait any longer, shifted the blanket, and wanted to lie down on the bed again.Suddenly, Byron leaned over and kissed her on the face.Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that her sleepiness had dissipated.She looked back to see the man had turned ar
She could have refused when Byron asked her to dry his hair just now.Yet, his tone was so natural that it felt justified.They were sharing a room. He prepared matching pajamas for her. She helped him dry his hair...For some unknown reason, Rosalie could not refuse.Byron was too well-prepared.Almost everything happened naturally.…The first thing next morning, Rosalie felt that her bones were about to fall apart.She looked at the time. It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, an hour later than the alarm she had set.Enduring the pain, Rosalie grabbed the alarm clock and took a look.She saw that the alarm had already rung. Her best guess was that Byron had turned off the alarm clock while she was sleeping.Annoyed, Rosalie sat up from the bed. She made a face from the soreness in her lower back.Last night, they were up too late...Just when Rosalie got off the bed carefully, Mrs. Zora was outside the door. "Young Madam, are you up yet?"Rosalie held her f
Benedict was friendly toward her, and Rosalie was grateful for that. However, she remained cautious, afraid that she would lose her composure around him."You didn’t sleep well last night? Why do you seem tired?" Benedict said a word of concern in an easygoing manner.Rosalie's expression froze slightly thinking of what happened last night. Her tone sounded stiff. "I just came back, and I'm still not used to it. I didn't sleep well last night because I was busy with work during this period. I’ll be fine in a few days. "Benedict nodded in comprehension. "You young’uns. Work is important, but be mindful of your body too!"After that, he looked at the three little ones. "Alright, time’s up! Let’s eat!"The little ones nodded obediently. "Got it, Grandpa!"Benedict smiled. He felt great hearing how the little ones addressed him.Melody always talked badly about Rosalie and the two boys in front of him. Yet, Benedict was fond of them and felt that they were adorable.At first, Rosa
Rosalie was protective when it came to Lucian and Nox. Even when she had tried her best to restrain her temper, her tone was somewhat cold.Melody was silenced by the exchange. Her hand holding the cutlery paused in midair for a long time before she finally said, "Then you watch over your sons. They shouldn’t address others as they please!” Nox looked at Mommy, then at Grandma Melody opposite. He stood up to protect his mother without hesitation. "But Grandpa is also very happy with us calling him that. If you don't like us calling you grandma, we won't call you that. Isn’t that fine?"Melody’s face turned livid when this little boy dared to defy her, especially after she knew that he was right.The atmosphere at the dining table was tense.Rosalie was also a little surprised at the little boy's statement.However, she knew that the little boy was right. ‘Benedict and Melody are their grandparents, so it’s only natural for them to call Benedict Grandpa.’Thinking of this, Rosal
After breakfast, Benedict bid goodbye, then got up and left. Presumably, he must have gone to look for Melody.The three little ones were still eating, and Rosalie was with them."Whatever Grandma Melody says in the future, try not to talk back. Try to make Grandma Melody like you."She tried to communicate with the little ones.However, with that said, Rosalie felt that her requests seemed a little unrealistic.Some of Melody's words were too harsh even for her. How could she ask the two little boys to accept it?"We understand," Lucian nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Mommy. Nox felt what Grandma Melody said earlier was too much, he couldn't help but refute it. Moreover, what he said was not wrong."Nox nodded boldly to echo his brother standing up for him. "Grandma Melody doesn't like us calling her that, so we’ll stop calling her that!"Little Estie also nodded along seriously, expressing her support for her brothers.Rosalie smiled helplessly at how outspoken her kids wer
Byron's eyes flashed with distress when he heard the woman’s concerns. He tried to gently calm her down."You don't have to worry about this. I have already discussed with them, and they will go back soon."Rosalie was surprised. "When? How did you tell them?"Byron did not give a straight answer. "They’ve always lived in the old mansion; it’ll be more comfortable for them back there. If they insist on living with us, they are just asking for more discomfort."Rosalie did not ask further seeing that he was not going to explain. Somehow, she still felt uneasy about it. "However, I'm the outsider after all. If uncle and auntie go back because of me...""As long as you agree to my marriage proposal, we will be a family." Byron interrupted her, "As for my parents, you don't have to worry about them being dissatisfied with you, I’ll handle it."Rosalie shrank back as he brought up the proposal. "I believe you..."Then, she looked up at the time and sheepishly said, "It's getting late
Rosalie felt averse to his sudden touch, and the joy on her face froze. She looked down and took a step back, avoiding his hand calmly.Aware of her resistance, Xander frowned. Then, he quickly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened."The success of the new drug development was all thanks to the research institute’s efforts. How about this, let me treat everyone to a good meal. This month, I will give everyone a bonus in my name, anyone who has a part in the project will have a share!"He declared as if he has a close relationship with the research institute.Rosalie felt that Xander went a bit too far and was about to refuse. However, the employees had already cheered, and Rosalie could not disappoint them."How generous of you, Young Master Xander!""Thank you, Young Master Xander, we will do our best in the future!"“......”Everyone expressed their praises to him.Rosalie felt a little uncomfortable watching their admiration for Xander."Then please do me a favor an
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
