Chapter 172 Did Not Dare To Imagine The cars ahead began to move again. Rosalie removed her foot
from the brake and turned her gaze back to the road.
She scoffed at the thought of his expression. “Aren‘t you engaged to Miss Fuller, President Lawrence?
But you‘re getting awfully close to me because of Estie. Isn‘t that a little inappropriate?”
She did not even know who Estie‘s mother was.
In that case, that man‘s behavior was even more deplorable.
Where did he find the nerve to criticize her?
Byron did not expect her to bring up Estie. His expression turned complicated, and he said vaguely,
“That‘s different.” After all, Estie was her daughter in the first place. Rosalie just snorted. “How is that
different? Besides, Estie is the only thing tying us together. Without her, we aren‘t even friends. Who I
make friends with is my business. It has nothing to do with you, President Lawrence. You‘re overstepping

was below freezing. His gaze was fixed on the distance, and he did not say a word for the rest of the

Once there, she opened the door and stepped out without waiting for him to say anything.

let the girl go, she eventually made up her mind. If Estie continued staying with her, Byron would keep
dropping by every so often. To be honest, Rosalie was tired of dealing with him.
From the first time they had met, she had already made it clear to him that they were
strangers.
Even so, the man kept showing up around her recently, and he even did something like that at Old
Master Quirke‘s birthday dinner. She had no idea what their relationship even was anymore...
Besides, her boys were obviously getting closer to him with every passing day. That went especially for
Nox.
Nox had seemed rather fond of that man from the start. The two gifts he gave them were exactly what

For some reason, she felt like he was giving her a strange look. She instinctively stopped talking.
Byron gave her a long look and then turned to leave without a word.
As he walked away, Rosalie opened her mouth, but no words came out. She merely sighed soundlessly

Their soft bodies and sweet scents melted her heart in an instant. She held them close and hugged them
tightly, forgetting all about her frustrations from before.
