It was the weekend the next day, and the boys did not need to go to kindergarten.Rosalie had planned to take them to the research institute.As she was just getting ready to head out, she heard the doorbell ring.Rosalie only thought that Mary had come over, so she got up to open the door.When she saw the person standing at the door, Rosalie's brows suddenly knitted together. "Estie? Why are you here?"With that, she subconsciously looked up and around, thinking that Byron would be waiting in the distance.Unexpectedly, there was no other figure at the door except for Estie after she looked around.Rosalie retracted her gaze. She crouched down and looked into the little girl's eyes. "Tell me, how did you get here? Did your daddy send you here?"Based on Byron's attitude toward her at the kindergarten yesterday, it was highly unlikely that he would let Estie come find her.Rosalie could only think of this possibility at present, however.Estie was wearing a white dress and c

Rosalie searched for Byron's number from her contact list.She had deliberately saved Estie's father's phone number, afraid that she might miss a call from him when Estie had gone missing the last time.Looking at the remark now, it was still simply named ‘A’. After changing it to ‘Byron Lawrence’, Rosalie rang his number. On the other side, Byron was getting ready to drive out in search of Estie when his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, the man's eyes narrowed slightly before he raised his hand to answer the call."It's me." Rosalie's voice came from the other end.Thinking of the trick that the woman had played to avoid him the last time, Byron snorted coldly in his heart. His tone was also cold. "What is it?"Rosalie glanced at the little girl beside her. If it were not for Estie's sake, she probably would have hung up immediately after hearing his tone!"Estie came to me early this morning. If you're free, come on over and pick her up. Or you can tell me t

After the medicine had been put applied, Lucian and Nox also came downstairs with the gifts they had selected for the little girl.They walked up to Estie with unusual-looking dolls in their arms. "We bought them with our own pocket money. They’re for you."The two little dolls were hideously adorable, and they did not suit Estie at all.However, it was the first time Estie received a gift from her peers, and it was from the two little brothers she liked very much. Hence, she took them without hesitation. Holding the two ugly dolls with more force than when she held the model figures before, her face was filled with joy.After a while, Estie put down the dolls after she was done carrying them and wrote a big ‘thank you’ on the small notebook. She held the book up to the two little brothers with a soft smile.It was also the first time Lucian and Nox saw the little girl smile like this.They were previously against her because she was the child of their daddy with another woman.

Hearing him mention their mommy, the two boys were instantly on their guards."Why are you looking for my mommy?!" Lucian stared at the man not far away alertly like a little dog that would attack anytime.Obviously, he had no attacking power, but he still had to put on a fierce appearance.Byron was deeply aware of the little guy's hostility, and when he saw his alert appearance, he found it strange but also funny. He did not take it seriously. He just said, "You’ve taken care of Estie these two times. I need to offer my gratitude in person."Hearing this, Lucian breathed a sigh of relief internally, but his small face was still taut. "No need. My mommy went to make a call, and she doesn’t need your thanks."With that, he dragged Nox back to the carpet. He bowed his head and said to Estie, "Since your daddy has come to pick you up, you can go back with him. Mommy has to go out to work in a while and won't have the time to accompany you." Estie was still immersed in the joy of t

Byron had no experience coaxing children. Whenever Estie was angry with him in the past, it was Mrs. Zora whom he had asked to coax her.Seeing his daughter crying in front of Rosalie now, a trace of panic flashed through Byron's heart. In the end, with a calm expression, he dully ordered, "Don't cry."He had thought that this sentence was void of emotion.In Estie's ear, however, it sounded fierce.The moment he said that, Estie sobbed harder. Her tears practically rolled down in a stream. Her head was lowered as she choked on her sobs. She was practically out of breath.Byron's brows were locked, and he did not know how to react for a moment.Seeing the little girl crying like this yet how cold Byron's response was as a father, Rosalie could not just stand and watch anymore. "Is this how you treat your child? She's crying like this yet you spoke to her with that tone? Don't you know how to talk to her properly?"When Byron was suddenly lectured by her, he could not help but
