Lucas had disappeared for more than half a year. After Estie’s condition improved, he was happily galivanting around the world.He had been in touch with Byron intermittently and sent different pictures of beautiful scenery from time to time.He was in Africa for a while, then he was in Australia. He mentioned that he was studying the objective laws of human psychological evolution.Indeed, it was very professional research, and even took the opportunity to publish a lot of papers.However, only Byron knew that this guy just wanted to laze around and did not want to take on the burden of the Montgomery legacy.The Montgomery family's business in the southwest was considerable, dealing in tea, coffee, wood, dry goods and the like.The foreign trade partnership with Lawrence Corporation has begun, especially in the past few years, and the business volume has exploded.However, Lucas was happy just to be a carefree psychiatrist, wandering the mountains and rivers every day, and tra
This long talk took a full two hours.Mary never thought that Andrius' life would be like this.When Andrius was very young, probably since kindergarten, Andrius was once considered mentally handicapped because he could not keep up his language skills.From then on, he began to face a lot of gossip and was constantly questioned.Thanks to his parents' insistence, otherwise he would have been sent to a mental hospital for correction treatment.The birth of his younger sister had somewhat diverted the adults’ attention. The younger sister was very lively, so she was beloved by many people.Therefore, since he was a child, he gradually formed the habit of not sharing his thoughts with others.Slowly, he grew up.During that time, he met Byron and became his best friend.That was considered his happiest time. He had many opportunities to do what he wanted to do because the adults were not paying attention.It was from then on, that his trust in Byron was completely solidified.E
Mary was silent for a moment upon hearing what Andrius said.Her heart felt heavy, and she wanted to say something to comfort or encourage him.However, she felt she could not find suitable words to express her concern.Many people nowadays had some physiological stress. Most of the causes were the trauma from childhood.That was why one always said a beautiful childhood would be the beginning of a beautiful life, while a bad childhood would haunt a person for a lifetime.In the end, it was Andrius who smiled in relief, even without Mary comforting him.That smile dumbfounded Mary.It was as though she had seen a kid smiling for the first time after it was born. It was pure and innocent.Moreover, he looked crazily attractive when he smiled.She was startled for a few seconds and felt her cheeks blushing.“Mary, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me?” Andrius asked in a puzzle.Mary quickly retracted her gaze. She did not know where to look and shook her head. “Nothing. No
It was only three days from the wedding day.Rosalie thought she would be calm about it. After all, she had been married once, and they had registered their marriage. Moreover, they stayed as a married couple for years back then.Unexpectedly, she was still excited when she saw the wedding gown Estelle had designed for her.It was breathtakingly beautiful!Her daughter’s talent in design was outstanding.The wedding gown was not traditionally white. Instead, it emitted a faint grayish glint. Under the sunlight, it looked elegant and gorgeous. It was a fishtail dress, and stars were embedded at the hem of the dress. It looked more like a swan’s feather than a fishtail.The material was light and comfortable. Rosalie had worn it once and could not believe her eyes when she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pure and elegant.“Mommy, I have a theme for this gown. It gradually turns from gray to white, like the ugly duckling that turned into a swan!” Estelle explained with
In a detention center by the sea in Coast City, Chloe calmly counted the days. It would soon be Rosalie and Byron’s wedding day.“Rosalie, I have no grudge and hatred anymore. Thanks to you, I finally understand everything about love.”Love was the most luxurious thing humans could get. Even if one was beautiful, alluring, and rich, one might not be able to own it.Chloe already realized that. To her, Byron was not the man of her life.As for whether or not she could find the right man, it was unknown. Love did not need to have a happy ending. She did not need to wait anymore. All she needed to do was to keep searching.‘Rosalie, I wish you a happy marriage and a happy life! I hope I’ll have a chance to make it up to you in the future. If it weren’t for my stubbornness, Byron would've been the best brother I ever had.’As she was thinking about this, she heard the prison guard shouting.“Chloe Lincoln, your lawyer is here to meet you! Come out!”Her family had employed the best
Mary heard Estelle had designed a wedding gown for Rosalie, so she visited Rosalie immediately after work to look at it.When she saw the gown, she felt envious.“If we weren't best friends, I would've brought a pair of scissors and cut this gown into pieces. It's so gorgeous!”The way Mary praised this dress was strange, but that was how she always was.Rosalie smiled and comforted her, saying, “When you get married, Estie’s design talent will greatly improve. I’ll ask her to design a wedding gown for you.”“You're right. As her godmother, I also deserve a beautiful wedding gown.”Mary smiled. She had seen her best friend suffer and turn from a caterpillar into a butterfly. “How's your mother’s health? Is she getting better? Rosalie asked casually.“She's alright now and has been doing well. She has gained weight, and her mood is better. Moreover, she has decided to stay in Coast City and not return to the southwest.”Rosalie could feel that ever since rescuing Mary’s mother
Rosalie accompanied Byron to the airport.Both of them were shocked when they saw Lucas. They could hardly recognize him.His refined-looking face was tanned, and he looked more energetic than before.After experiencing the difficulty of his journey, he changed a lot.“Byron, Miss Jacobs… No, Mrs. Lawrence, why did you both come? It’s troublesome to come all the way to the airport to pick me up at an hour like this.”Lucas grinned.Byron glanced at Lucas calmly and asked, “Did you encounter anything on this trip to Africa?”He was sharp and noticed that Lucas’ smile seemed to be not that happy. Something must have happened, and he seemed to be troubled by it.Lucas nodded, yet he answered, “It’s nothing big. We can talk about it later.”“Congratulations, Byron, Rosalie! It’s great to hear you're marrying again. The ticket to fly back from Africa wasn't easy to book. There were no direct flights, and I needed to transit somewhere else before flying here. That’s why I arrived at
Lucas was already playing with the kids when Rosalie and Byron woke up.Estelle was the closest to him. After all, Lucas had been gentle and patient toward her when he treated her back then. He had tried everything he could to help her recover.Thus, Estelle took him as her family.Lucian and Nox were also friendly. They called Lucas 'Uncle Lucas', yet they did not know that Lucas had taken them as his experimental subjects.Lucas admitted the three little ones were geniuses, indeed.He had known Byron for years but had not thought Byron was a genius. The three little ones would definitely surpass Byron over time. That was probably also because of Rosalie’s outstanding genes.Estelle showed the clothing she designed and the marketing percentage of Comfy’s sales in the kid’s wear industry. The revenue shocked Lucas.“Byron, you're indeed a family of businesspeople. Rosalie’s Petal Talk and even Estie’s Comfy are doing great. Are you planning to take the lead in every industry?”
