About To Cry
The group left the hotel overnight and returned to the city.
Unlike when they came, the seating arrangements had changed. In order to help Rosalie sit more
comfortably, Lucian sat in the front passenger seat, while Estie and Nox sat in the back with Rosalie.
All the way home, the little ones looked at her injured foot with worry and wonder. It made Rosalie want
to laugh and cry at their antics
Finally, when they were at the door of the villa, Rosalie leaned on the backrest and cautiously wanted
to get out of the car. Just as she moved to the door of the car, a pair of big hands stretched out in front
of her and placed them on her waist.
Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds, she thought that since the kids had seen this scene several
times since she got injured, presumably they would not think too much about it. Hence, she gave in and
let Byron carry her into the villa. 1
As soon as they entered the door, Nanny Lisa greeted them and saw Rosalie being carried by Byron,
she was genuinely surprised, “what’s wrong? Is Miss Jacobs not feeling well?”
The little boys explained. “Mommy’s foot is injured.”
Hearing this, Lisa glanced at Rosalie’s feet worriedly, only to see that the shoe on one foot was worn
halfway and loosely dangling. The gauze on the sole of her foot was vaguely seen.
Lisa immediately became nervous and carefully helped Byron to put Rosalie on the sofa. She
repeatedly asked, “You were fine when you left. How did you get hurt so badly?”
Rosalie smiled reassuringly. “I accidentally stepped on a conch. It’s just a scratch. No big deal. I’ll be
fine in two days.”
Lisa’s face was still unchanging, but she did not forget to thank Byron profusely. “Thank goodness for
President Lawrence. Thank you for sending Miss Jacobs home safely at this hour.”
Byron nodded and said solemnly, “Take care of her these two days. Try not to let her set foot on the
ground. Also, her wound shouldn’t get wet.”
Lisa agreed to each of Byron’s requests.
Rosalie saw that the man had an attitude like the houseowner and felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She interjected and reminded aloud, “It’s getting late, President Lawrence, you should take Estie home
early. As for today’s matter, I’ll thank you another day.”
Hearing this, Byron’s heart sank.
Even after two days of contact, this woman was still distant like a lone wolf.
Although he had done so much at this point, she still wanted to push him far away!
Little Estie lowered her eyebrows reluctantly and carefully grabbed the hem of her clothes. Her tone
was longing and loving. “Auntie, I’ll stay with you.”
The little girl was really worried about Rosalie’s injury.
Rosalie’s heart softened for a while, but she still refused ruthlessly. “Estie, it’s getting late. Go back with
your daddy.”
“But Auntie, you’re injured…” The little one looked up, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Rosalie felt another sting in her heart.
She knew instinctively that the little girl was worried about herself.
However, she also knew that she had to keep a distance from them.
The little girl did not wait for her answer, she sniffed and was about to cry.
“If you’re really worried about me, you can come to see me another day.” After a few seconds of
silence, Rosalie finally made a concession.
The little girl looked at her suspiciously, with a choke, she questioned her. “Really? Can I really come
visit?”
Rosalie felt that jab in her heart again, she raised her hand and gently touched the little girl’s head. “Of
course, darling.”
Hearing her promise, the little one nodded reluctantly, turned around, and held Daddy’s hand.
