Is Clarification Required?
“Any hot topics recently?” Yves noticed that she was scrolling on her social media for a while, so he
asked her out of curiosity.
Rosalie retracted her thoughts and smiled nonchalantly as she replied, “Nothing much. I just saw some
gossip.” With the state of her current relationship with Byron at that moment, all Byron–related news
was indeed merely gossip to her.
Yves wanted to have a chat with her, so he continued the conversation.
“What kind of gossip? Anything happened to artists recently?”
Rosalie did not expect him to continue the conversation. She was taken aback and mumbled in reply,
“Not an artist. I don‘t remember what their name was as well, so I just clicked in randomly.”
Before Yves could add to the conversation, Rosalie changed the topic subtly. “This project is pretty
time–consuming, right? Even I find it a little tough.” Yves‘ eyebrows rose subtly as he changed the topic
just as Rosalie desired.
Rosalie got off work early today, and with Yves driving her around, she arrived at the kindergarten just
as school was over. Children swarmed out of the gates enthusiastically. She spotted her two boys in
the midst of the crowd, made her way over, and left with them. Estie stood amongst the crowd and
looked at her pitifully. Rosalie looked back at her, and out of nowhere, she felt a little guilty. However,
she thought about the news she saw earlier and really did not want to face Byron at that moment.
Hence, all she could do was harden her heart, squat down to caress Estie‘s head, and say, ” Estie, wait
for your daddy right here with Miss Leigh Ann, okay? I have something to do, so I gotta leave now.”
She did not dare to look into Estie‘s eyes when she was done speaking and scurried away with the two
boys like she was fleeing for her life. They left in Yves‘ car. The two little fellas remembered who Yves
was and greeted him kindly when they got into the car, “Hello, Uncle Yves.”
Yves smiled warmly at the boys, turned on his engine, and drove toward Rosalie‘s house. The two
boys, who sat in the passenger seat, watched Yves from the rearview mirror and were deep in thought.
Before this, they thought Daddy was not too bad. That was why they told Mommy to take her pick
Now that Daddy was going to marry someone else, it seemed like Uncle Yves was not too bad of a
choice too.
On the other hand, Luther saw the news and immediately recognized the woman in the photos. He
glanced at the headline again and went to Byron immediately.
“Sir, look at this article…. Do you think clarification is required?” Byron was buried deep in work. He
looked up and glanced at the phone that was handed to him, saw the contents, and frowned slightly.
How did he not realize that they were photographed? When did that happen?
In the photos, they looked like a loving couple. As he skimmed through the comments at the bottom,
Byron smirked. “Sir?” Luther did not get any response for a while, so he nudged Byron in confusion.
Byron looked away from the screen, passed the phone back to Luther coldly, and said, “No need. Let it
be.”
If they were to make any clarification, it would inevitably involve Rosalie. That woman had been
recently occupied with drawing a clear line between both of them, so she clearly would not like to be
suddenly caught up in this mess. Luther hesitated for a moment before acknowledging his master‘s
response. He waited for a while more. Since Byron had no further instructions, Luther exited the office
quietly.
After hearing the office door close, Byron took a break from work, got up, and stood by the window.
At this point in time, that woman should have already seen the news. He wondered what her response
would be.
