She‘d Be More Than Happy
After dinner, the Old Master went upstairs to rest.
Rosalie followed him upstairs and gave him another check–up. Once she came back downstairs, she
bid everyone goodbye. Andrius said, “It‘s late. Why don‘t I send you home?” Rosalie declined with a
smile. “It‘s alright. You have other guests, so you should stay and keep them company. Andrius did not
continue to insist. He simply said, “In that case, have a safe trip home. Oh, and don‘t take my
grandfather‘s words to heart. He’s getting older now, so he’s always worried about these pointless
things.” Rosalie smiled, then turned and left.
“It’s late and I still have work to take care of. I have to take my leave too,” Byron said in his low voice as
he watched Rosalie walk out of the villa.
Alarms rang in Wendy‘s head, and she quickly stood up to leave as well. “I was just going to head out
myself. Let‘s go together.” Byron rejected her calmly. “No, it‘s fine. We’re heading in opposite
directions. See you.” He turned and left without giving her the time to say another word. Wendy
watched his cold and distant back, her body frozen on the spot and her expression stiff.
Andrius could not help but frown. For some reason, ever since their meal earlier, he had the feeling that
something was up between Byron and those two women.
However, he could not figure out what it was. “Wendy?” Andrea called out to her in confusion when she
saw Wendy frozen in place. Her voice brought Wendy back to her senses abruptly. Wendy forced a
smile and said, “I have work to take care of too, so I‘ll get out of your hair now.” Andrius and Andrea
could tell that there was something not quite right with her, but they did not press the matter. After
exchanging a few pleasantries, they saw her off. Back at the villa, Andrius could not help but ask his
little sister, “How did you know Dr. Jacobs has kids?”
Andrea pouted. “I saw them last time when I went out for a meal with Wendy. I also know that she’s
Byron‘s ex–wife! Seriously, I can‘t believe the nerve of her, coming back like this!”
Andrius was completely taken aback at first, but he gradually began to process that information No
wonder he kept feeling like there was something between Byron and Dr. Jacobs.
Turns out Dr. Jacobs was that woman from six years ago!
After leaving the villa and getting into her car, Rosalie thought back to their conversation over the
dinner table, still feeling a little disorientated.
She took a moment to compose herself and settle down in the car before she slowly started up the
engine. Suddenly, someone tapped on her car window twice. She turned around to look at them,
perplexed. When she saw the person outside, she immediately pulled her gaze away again and
pretended not to see him.
The person outside did not give up, however. He knocked on her window two more times and even
bent down to peek inside.
Although she knew that he could not see her from outside, Rosalie‘s heart tightened in her chest. After
some hesitation, she wound down her window. “Is something the matter?” Byron stood tall next to her
car, raising a brow composedly at her question. “I didn‘t drive here. If it‘s convenient for you, mind if I
hitch a ride?”
As he spoke, he reached out for the handle.
Rosalie could not react in time, so she simply watched as he opened the door and got into the
passenger‘s seat. “Let‘s go.” Byron fastened his seatbelt, cool as a cucumber. Rosalie finally returned
to her senses, asking grudgingly, “Where’s your driver?”
Byron replied coolly, “It‘s already this late. Since you‘re heading in the same direction, why should I
bother my driver to come all the way out here.”
Rosalie was at a loss for words. She paused for a while longer before saying, “If I‘m not mistaken, Miss
Fuller hasn‘t left yet, either. I‘m sure she‘d be more than happy to send you home.”
