Byron served her food to prove his sincerity. He kept saying romantic phrases and helping her out with the food gentlemanly, making her feel shy and happy at the same time.After lunch, the waitress served a few desserts. “These desserts are gifts from our restaurant. Best wishes to you.”Rosalie thanked the waitress gently.Unsure if it was a coincidence, the restaurant served them three desserts.“I wonder what the kids are doing now. Estie likes tiramisu the most.”The desserts reminded her of the three little ones.Byron said, “It’s supposed to be their lunch break now. If you’re worried about them, let’s go to the kindergarten and bring them the desserts.”At the thought of seeing the three kids, Rosalie’s mood brightened. “I have that in mind too.”They asked the waitress to help them pack the desserts and headed to the kindergarten.On the way, they called Miss Leigh Ann.When they arrived at the kindergarten, Miss Leigh Ann also happened to come out of the lounge with
The three little ones finished their desserts, and Rosalie sent them back.Back in the car, she looked at Byron, who pretended nothing had happened. Unable to contain her curiosity about his act, she asked, “When did I agree to go to a movie with you this afternoon?”Byron turned around and looked at her calmly. “I chose to decide for you because I knew you would reject my invitation if I asked you.”Rosalie looked away guiltily when he spoke out her thought.She could guess what he meant. He thought of today as a date.For her, it was somehow a bit of a surprise.She said nothing for a while, and Byron was a little disappointed. “If you’re unhappy with this arrangement, we can watch the movie another day. I’ll buy the gifts for the children later.”Rosalie noticed the disappointment in his tone and shook her head with a smile. “No. I just think I should prepare for...”Byron looked at her lovingly. “You don’t have to prepare yourself. You’re always beautiful.”Rosalie blushed
“If I knew this mall would remind you of this, I would’ve chosen another mall.”Byron looked regretful.Rosalie calmed down and got out of his embrace. She had a smile on her face again. “I’m only a little sad when I think of it. I’m fine now. Since Estie and I have found each other, I’ll give her everything I haven’t had the chance to give her before this.”Byron nodded and grasped her hand, clasping his fingers to give her no chance to escape. “Me too. I’ll make up for everything we’ve missed before.”His words moved Rosalie as her eyes met his affectionate eyes. The smile on her face bloomed.It was still early to get to the cinema. Thus, they walked around from level to level.Walking to the men’s clothing store window, Rosalie’s footsteps stopped subconsciously when she saw the clothing in it.Byron looked at the men’s attire in the shop and was a little displeased.“Who are you getting men’s clothes for?”Only a few men were around her, and she was by his side now. Which
Only then did Rosalie snap out of her thoughts.The salesman smiled and said, “I don’t have to get any other size. Your figure is almost the same as the mannequin. If you don’t mind, I can take the clothes on the mannequin for you to try on.”Byron turned around to get Rosalie’s opinion, making him look like a hen-pecked husband.The salesman understood his intention and waited patiently for Rosalie’s answer.Feeling shy when she realized what was happening, Rosalie nodded with a smile.The salesman took the suit and asked one of the staff to lead Byron to the fitting room. Meanwhile, he took Rosalie around the store and introduced her to each suit they had. Then, he observed which of the suit she looked at for the longest time.A moment later, Byron walked out of the dressing room, wearing a smoke-gray shirt and a black suit. His back was straight, and his shoulders were broad.When he got out, he went straight to Rosalie without looking into a mirror. “How about this? Do you t
Rosalie looked at the salesman embarrassedly as soon as she said that.The salesman obviously heard her but did not say anything. Instead, he smiled politely at her.Byron looked at Rosalie’s panicked expression lovingly.After a while, the staff came over with the packed clothes.Byron took the clothes from the staff and told Rosalie, “I’ll take them. Rosie, you can get me the one I’m wearing now.”Then, he smiled and waited for Rosalie to answer him.Rosalie’s regret was not getting a chance to get Byron a suit six years ago. She would accept it now since Byron was allowing her to do so.Byron wanted to test the rest of the clothes, but Rosalie stopped him. “Never mind…”She glanced sheepishly at the salesman and the staff as she whispered to Byron, “You can put them on when we get back home and show me.”As if displeased that she could not immediately see him in other clothes, Byron paused for a few seconds before nodding.Then, they went to pay for the clothes.After sho
Rosalie and Byron had almost shopped at every store in the mall.In a restaurant they did not notice, Alistair was sitting by the window and looking at them with interest.If he was not mistaken, the woman beside Byron was Rosalie, the former Mrs. Lawrence.“Have you found out the background of that woman?”Opposite him, a man sat down respectfully, and Alistair turned around and asked.Nodding slightly, the assistant took a document from his bag and pushed it to Alistair.“According to the investigation, Byron’s ex-wife left silently six years ago and only recently returned from abroad. As soon as she returned to the country, she met Byron, and it seemed that Byron has been pestering her since then.”Hearing this, Alistair seemed interested and stared at the woman not far away. “That woman? She’s beautiful, but so many beautiful women are interested in Byron. What makes her special?”Pester.It was not a word that seemed appropriate to describe Byron.The assistant continued
Byron frowned slightly and checked his phone notifications.There were messages.“Are you sure?” he asked Rosalie for confirmation.Rosalie shook her head hesitantly. “Maybe… I was just imagining things. I don’t seem to recall anything weird.”Byron hugged her and comforted her. “Feel free to tell me if you sense anything weird. Don’t be afraid. I’m by your side, and I’ll ensure your safety.”Rosalie smiled and leaned on his chest.A moment later, the elevator stopped at the top of the mall.Byron and Rosalie walked into the cinema.Habitually, Rosalie wanted to go and get the tickets, but Byron headed straight to the ticket-checking point instead. After he informed the staff, he turned around and looked at Rosalie.She froze for a few seconds before following him. “Don’t we have to get the tickets?”Meanwhile, the staff smiled and explained, “This gentleman has booked the cinema for the evening. You can just inform us whenever you want to watch the movie.”Rosalie was dumbs
Rosalie was angry when she watched the movie, but felt she was making a fuss when she walked out of the movie theater.“It’s alright. It’s my occupational habit. They’re only filming a movie, and its theme is clear. There’s no need to mind about trivial matters like this.”However, Byron felt sorry and said, “I thought you would like this kind of movie. Let’s watch some other movie the next time.”Something struck Rosalie’s mind, and she quipped, “Why don’t we watch a business film the next time? I’d like to listen to your explanation about business too.”Byron was pleased to hear Rosalie teasing him and agreed. “Sure. I’m willing to watch any movie with you.”Rosalie felt a little guilty upon seeing him agreeing so soon. “Forget it. One unpleasant experience is enough. Let’s watch another movie that has nothing to do with our professions next time.”Byron glanced at her.Their eyes met, and they smiled.It was nine o’clock in the evening when they got back to the manor.They
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
