Despite Byron’s explanation, Mary was still indignant.Back in school, the seeds of innocence grew and blossomed with expectations as Rosalie stepped into a marriage with the man, but all she got was bitterness."President Lawrence, you're still so full of yourself!" Mary blurted her conclusion and threw Byron a death stare.Byron immediately looked embarrassed, while Rosalie smiled faintly.The past was the past, after all!Rosalie's state of mind was no longer what it used to be. She was grateful because although it was a long wait, all the wishes she wrote down came true.Her right hand slowly covered her belly. A new hope was growing in her womb.The rough bumps that the three little ones experienced would never happen for this child.Byron seemed to reflect as well. He finally nodded and said, "It was my fault indeed. Ten years ago, I was exhausted from the struggles and battles in the industry. My perspective was rigid, and I was bounded by rules at that time!"His confe
After coming out of the institute, the couple went to pick up the kids from school.The leaders of the school quickly seized the opportunity. They met the couple and respectfully invited them in to express their sincere apology.Byron and Rosalie listened as they mentioned that the vice-principal who accepted bribes from Daniel Lundgren had already been fired.The four students who bullied Lucian and Nox were advised to drop out by the school.Disciplinary action was taken by the school to ensure that such incidents would not recur in the future.Byron and Rosalie reluctantly accepted their arrangements, just to show some face to the leaders of the school. After all, this academic atmosphere was a good fit for the kids.In the end, after repeatedly rejecting their dinner invitation, the couple picked up the kids and returned to the manor.When they arrived at the door, Gordon was there again, wandering back and forth.He looked scrawny, and his movements were rigid.However, R
Gordon was stunned.His dry and peeling lips twitched a little before they finally turned into a bitter smile."Yes, since you know about it, then I'll tell you. I was so wicked that I sold you out to Mr. Murray. He probably wanted me to get close to you so that I could get information from you or Rosalie."Gordon did not hide anything and told the truth."For this reason, I divorced Violet. Initially, I just thought it was a fake divorce. I thought she would come back to me after I got enough benefits from Mr. Murray. It's just that I was too stupid..."He muttered to himself.Byron frowned. He was completely uninterested in this man’s sob story.After all, Gordon made the choice to abandon Rosalie's mother to be with Violet back then. He even brought those two siblings back into the house, causing irreparable hurt to Rosalie for the rest of her life."Mr. Jacobs, there's no need to mention these things anymore. Rosalie already knows your motives, so you'd better not bother us
Back in the living room, Rosalie was chatting with the children, discussing a name for the baby."If she's a girl, let's call her Dawn Lawrence, okay? I'm Estie, and I want my sister to be called DeeDee." Estie put forward her suggestion.Both Lucian and Nox commented that the name was too simple. They wanted to find something more meaningful."Mommy, my brothers’ names are too simple. Why did you choose them?" Estie asked, puzzled.Nox immediately answered, "They're not simple at all. They're names from a TV show, and they bear great significance. Following the characters and the plot of that TV show, I'm sure Mommy gave us these names out of her yearning for Daddy!""This… must be incorrect." Lucian immediately dismissed it. Then, he expressed his thoughts, "Mommy, Lucian comes from the Latin word ‘light,’ and Nox is the name of the mythological god of the night, right?"Rosalie was so confused. She just thought their names were catchy. It was not that deep!Byron found it i
Outside the manor, in the guardhouse.Gordon suddenly vomited after he woke up. There were gastric juices and blood in his vomit.The bodyguards were horrified. The president had asked them to take care of this person, but judging by the man’s state, he must be seriously ill to be vomiting blood.Thus, they hurriedly consulted the butler for further action. After the butler’s consideration, he decided to tell President Lawrence about the situation.The butler went forward with his report when he saw President Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence in the living room. "The man outside seems to be suffering from a serious illness. He's vomiting blood!"When Rosalie heard that, her right hand that was holding the teacup trembled as she looked at her husband.Byron got up immediately and said to his wife, "Let's go over and look. If the situation is serious, we must save him first."Rosalie nodded. Then, as if something had clicked in her, she quickly followed her husband.Less than half an
Gordon's voice suddenly stopped, and he passed out again.Upon seeing this situation, Byron decisively ordered the bodyguards to send Gordon into the manor."Rosalie, just do your best. Leave the rest to destiny!" Byron grabbed his wife's hand and felt a slight coldness.Rosalie nodded and immediately followed him back to the manor.All the entanglement and grievances aside, Gordon was just a dying patient before Rosalie.As a doctor, it was natural for her to try and save him.Thus, she quickly made preparations and began dry-needling for Gordon.At the same time, Andrius and Mary were also called over to help. They began to dispense and decoct the medication according to Rosalie's instructions.The decoction needed a charcoal fire, which could only be done outside the villa. Mary was responsible for watching the fire, while Andrius monitored the water level from time to time."This is probably retribution! Gordon is not worthy of being Rosie's father. He's just lucky that Ro
"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence! I'm not a competent father, and I've caused irreparable harm to Rosalie. You both are truly her second parents. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to..."After that last visit, Gordon's last words burned in Benedict's and Melody’s minds.Melody felt deeply conflicted inside.She dared not acknowledge herself as Rosalie’s second parent, like how Gordon claimed her to be. She had wronged Rosalie in so many ways before. She was just spending this time to atone for her mistakes.Fortunately, she still had a chance; unlike Gordon, who only realized it when he was dying.Next, the three little kids paid a visit to their grandpa.Of course, the adults did not tell the kids about his actual illness but only said that he was sick. In the eyes of the kids, he must be having a terrible cold.Hence, the three little kids gave their grandpa some encouragement. They asked him to rest well and drink plenty of water, and that he would be fine soon.Gordo
In Mary’s villa at three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Wilson was watering the flowers in the yard when two to three black Mercedes-Benz stopped at the gate.Several bodyguards got out of the car, walked to the Benz in the center, and quickly opened the door.A well-dressed middle-aged man habitually leaned on a cane and came out.Following closely behind was an extravagant-looking middle-aged lady. After she got out of the car, she glanced at the villa with deep disdain in her eyes."It seems that your daughter is doing well in Coast City. She can even buy a villa!"There was a strong northwest accent in her voice. Her face was full of arrogance.The middle-aged man's face was stern, with an air of solemn and prestige.This was Dorian Claymore, the leader of Claymore Group, the largest consortium in Southwest Somerland. The middle-aged lady beside him was his wife, Shaylene Lambert.The accompanying assistant immediately approached Dorian respectfully. "Mr. Claymore, the addr
