NovelOnlineChapter 677 So Concerned
“Young Master Xander and I...”
Rosalie felt a headache creeping upon her as she began speaking. She was just about to explain when there was a sudden
movement in the backseat. It sounded like the little ones were waking up.
When Rosalie heard the movement in the backseat, she immediately fell silent and turned to look at the little ones.
Nox had woken up without them realizing it, and he was rubbing his eyes sleepily.
“Mommy...” A while later, the little guy lowered his hands slowly and gazed at his mom with narrowed eyes. He was still dazy
from sleep.
Rosalie glanced at the man beside her and forced herself to suppress the emotions she felt as she smiled at the little guy.
“Have we arrived home?” The little guy said as he sat up to look out the window, when he saw the familiar-looking mansion, he
turned and asked his mom confusedly, “why didn’t you wake US up?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Rosalie heard the little guy’s question, she recalled the conversation she had just had with Byron and could not help but
feel slightly sheepish as she said, “We just arrived, and you woke up before I got around to waking you guys up.”
The little guy was still sleepy and did not find her answer suspicious. He turned around and nudged his brother carefully until
Lucian woke up too.
Their movements woke Estie up as well, and she stared at her surroundings blankly after opening her eyes. It took her a moment
to realize where she was.
Byron and Rosalie’s conversation halted since the little ones had all woken up.
Rosalie turned and said to Byron, “Thank you for bringing US home, President Lawrence. Seeing that it’s late, I won’t be inviting
you inside.”
Once she finished speaking, she opened the door, got out of the car, and walked to the back so she could help the little ones out
of the car.
The evening breeze was chilly, and although the heater had been turned on the entire journey, Rosalie’s clothes had not
completely dried off yet. She could not help shivering when the evening breeze brushed past.
The two little guys had just woken up, and they, too, could not help but shiver when they got out of the car. They wrapped their
arms around themselves as they stood on the sidewalk.
When Estie saw the two boys were leaving with Rosalie, she extended her arms out as well. “I want to go with Auntie!”
Since the little one was still half-asleep, she had not sensed the tense atmosphere in the car. She merely voiced out what she
wanted instinctively.
Rosalie was just about to shut the car door when she heard what the little one had said. An awkward expression appeared on
her face as she paused momentarily and said, “Estie, be a good girl and go home with your daddy. There’s some work I need to
take care of later, and I won’t be able to take care of you.”
Her collaboration with the Lancer family was beginning to pick up speed now, and Rosalie needed to put all her energy into
working on that. Based on the schedule she had created, she was supposed to spend the night reading more books on holistic
medicine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf the little one stayed with her, there was no doubt her plans would be disrupted.
Although it hurt Rosalie to do so, she turned down the little one’s suggestion after conducting a cost-benefit analysis.
After all, they would have plenty of other opportunities to spend time with each other in the future, but she would only get one
chance to work with the Lancer family.
Tears glistened in the little one’s eyes upon hearing the refusal. She remained stunned, and it took several seconds before she
pouted and said, “I can take care of myself.”
It had been so long since she last spent the night with Auntie...
Rosalie did not know what to do with the little one when she saw how aggrieved she was. Thus, she had no choice but to turn to
Byron and ask for his help. “I ’ll be collaborating with the Lancer family soon, and I don’t have time.”
The man’s expression darkened the minute she finished speaking.
Rosalie felt her heartbeat quicken slightly when she recalled what they had been talking about before the little ones woke up.
Now, the man was annoyed because she had brought up the Lancer family without needing prompting.
She had not expected Byron to be so concerned about her relationship with Xander.
