Chloe was in a puzzle. Melody was a woman of etiquette, but she was now being a little impolite by applying a face mask before her guest.However, on second thought, it meant Melody took her as family instead of a guest. That was why Melody did not pay much attention to etiquette.Noticing Benedict was still around, she smiled and said, “Uncle Benedict, I brought delicious fruits. I’ll go and wash them!”Benedict immediately rejected her kindness and went to wash the fruits himself.He knew what was on Chloe’s mind. She was trying to use this excuse to create some space for her and Melody.It made him wonder what Chloe wanted to say to his wife.He hoped his wife would not make the same silly mistake again, just like what she did about Wendy’s crush on Byron.Chloe smiled and looked at Melody when Benedict entered the kitchen.Her purpose was simple. She wanted Melody’s help to give her a chance to get along with Byron.She even had a great excuse for it.“Aunt Melody, I got
Chloe pondered and decided to call Byron to tell him about her suggestion.However, of course, she did not mention going alone with Byron.Byron agreed immediately. “Okay. I’ll spare some time. Let’s go and visit the old principal. I’ll ask if Rosie is free. She can check on the principal’s condition. You know how good her medical skills are.”All Chloe could do was give up her intention since Byron said so.“Sure. Miss Jacobs is so skillful in medicine that she might be able to treat the old principal. That’s great! Let me know once you've confirmed the time. I’m available any time.”“Alright.”Chloe’s expression immediately turned gloomy when Byron hung up the call. She did not want to see Byron and Rosalie acting lovey-dovey before her.Frustration struck her.“You always miss the chance! Chloe, just give up. Aunt Melody has changed her mind. You'll have no chance. You should just wish them the best. Isn’t that better?”The more she convinced herself, the sadder she felt.
Rosalie was in a bright mood that day.She invited her best friend to celebrate her success that night.Then, she called Byron, asking him to bring Andrius to the celebration meal.After that, she drove to the kindergarten, picked up the kids, and headed to a Western restaurant.They happily had the celebration meal.Mary had dressed up and put on delicate makeup for that celebration.“Godmother, you look beautiful!” Lucian and Nox were flattered.Estelle also said, “Godmother, you're almost as beautiful as Mommy!”Mary was taken aback to hear Estelle calling her ‘Godmother.’ She looked at Byron and Rosalie. They seemed fine with it.“So, these three children were strangely separated but are now together again? To be honest, I’ve suspected it for a long time, but I still can't process this.”Mary was happy to see Rosalie and Byron finally getting back together.“However, what do you mean by almost as beautiful as your mommy? So, your mommy is still the prettiest, huh? You su
“Alright then. I’ll accept the gift since my best friend is a wealthy woman!”Mary did not stand on ceremony and accepted after being startled momentarily.Rosalie was satisfied. That was how a best friend should be. They knew each other well. If Mary rejected, that would mean their relationship was not that close.Of course, Rosalie had other plans in mind.“However, there's a condition for you to get this villa!” Rosalie sounded mischievous when she said that.Mary rolled her eyes. “I knew there would be conditions. Alright, what do you want me to do?”Byron and Andrius were curious what was the condition Rosalie would mention.“It's not a difficult request. From now on, you'll be the director of the hospital. What do you think about it? You should be able to carry this responsibility, right?” Rosalie asked with a smile as she looked at her friend.Mary was taken aback again.Was that a promotion? A quick promotion?She had been working as a doctor in the hospital under the
Andrius carefully helped Mary enter the car when the chauffeur arrived.Then, he went to the trunk, took out the puke bag, and got ready.Mary felt heavy-headed, but she was in a conscious state of mind.It shocked her that Andrius was so ‘meticulous.’Andrius sat beside Mary and handed the puke bag to her. Then, he ordered the chauffeur to drive slowly.After that, he sat straight up as he looked outside, as though she had nothing to do with him.She finally understood why a handsome and wealthy gentleman like him would still be single.She had drunk a lot of wine because she was happy. At this moment, she was drunk and drowsy.She closed her eyes and looked like she had fallen asleep.Andrius glanced at her and noticed her head was swaying. She kept trying to keep it still, but it tilted to his side eventually. Her eyes were closed.“Miss Wilson, are you asleep?” he asked.Mary was now half-asleep. She had nowhere to rest her head and felt uncomfortable.She longed for hi
Rosalie accompanied Mary by chatting with her that night on the phone.After Mary dozed off, Rosalie felt a cramp in her lower abdomen.Her menstrual period was coming.Rosalie felt uncomfortable each time she experienced it. However, she had always endured it because of her work.She thought Byron had gone to bed. Unexpectedly, he returned from the kitchen with a cup of hot ginger tea.“Why don’t you drink this? I’ll give you a foot massage.”Rosalie was bewildered. Byron was the chairman of Lawrence Corporation and was a leader. He had always been cold and ruthless.However, he was gentle to her, making her feel touched.She reached out to take the cup. The man asked her to wait, and he blew on the tea to make it warm and easy to drink.Then, the man casually headed to get a basin of water for Rosalie.Rosalie drank the ginger tea and felt her cramps getting better. The ginger tea tasted nice.Now, she understood why Mary had been complaining about Andrius. She even compar
Before long, Andrius arrived at the cafe.Rosalie did not even have time to talk to him about his insensible act to Mary last night.“Are you the one who determined the price increase?" Rosalie asked, straight to the point.Andrius shook his head, but he knew what had gone wrong.He passed the management of this business to his sister. She must have had something to do with this sudden price increase.Byron glanced at Andrius and did not ask further. He coldly told Andrius to investigate this matter.Andrius nodded and assured Rosalie. “Miss Jacobs, I'll immediately deal with this matter. You don’t have to pay for the materials this time. I can take care of it.”After saying that, he angrily returned to the Quirke family’s mansion.As soon as he entered, he bumped into the well-dressed Andrea, who seemed to be heading out.With a cold expression, he questioned her.“Did you raise the price of the medicinal materials? We were given this business essentially so that we could sa
In Andrea’s office, the financial staff checked the accounts with her.“This month, expenses have increased due to increased acquisition prices. Our downstream manufacturers are also collecting money. The biggest part is Dr. Jacobs' research institute and factory. If they pay the money, the profit will be far more than before!”After the staff reported, Andrea sighed the papers and beckoned the staff to leave.Before long, the office door was pushed open.Alistair entered with a bouquet of red roses for Andrea.She was so overjoyed that she quickly got up and dashed toward him.“Don’t do this. This is your office. Your office is only covered with frosted glass. They can see shadows from outside! Alistair smirked. He put the bouquet down and hugged Andrea’s waist.“I don’t care. I don't even mind telling everyone you’re my man!”Andrea indulged entirely in this sweet love.She was obsessed with this man.This man taught her to raise the price of the materials so that the owner
