Chapter 122 Finally Come Around
Rosalie stayed with Estie for almost the entire day.
However, the little girl never responded.
As the skies turned dark, Rosalie knew it was time to leave even though she could not bear to part withthe little girl.
“I‘ll come to see you tomorrow. You have to hang in there, alright?” Before leaving, Rosalie huggedLittle Estie hard.
The two little boys also stood in line to hug her.
The three were about to leave, but Rosalie felt a tug on her skirt. She was stunned for a moment andlooked back in disbelief, only to see that Estie‘s little hands were gripping her skirt. Even so, her eyeswere still looking into the distance with no focus.novelbin
Byron and Lucas saw what happened inside the room and looked at each other, stunned. They thoughtEstie had completely closed herself off and stopped responding to the outside world.
They did not expect that she could feel Rosalie Jacobs‘ existence. She even moved to show that shedid not want the woman to leave.
Rosalie was so distressed that she could hardly breathe looking at the little girl‘s condition. She stoodthere for a few seconds, then slowly turned around and walked to the little girl. She squatted down andlooked into the little girl‘s eyes. “Estie, you know I‘m here, right?” Estie‘s expression was still blank, buther little hand was holding onto her skirt. Lucian and Nox were worried. They could not help but askMommy, “Mommy, can we take our little sister back home with us?” ‘Hmm, take Estie home with us…‘
Rosalie was slightly moved by that thought but hesitantly turned around and looked at the men near thedoor.
If Estie was willing, she was happy to take care of this little girl. However, she feared this little girl wouldbe inseparable from her father. Byron and Lucas also heard the two little boys. Lucas sternly said, “Ithink this might work. Estie is already reacting to you, which is a big improvement. If you spend moretime together, she‘ll be more likely to recover.” After speaking, Lucas turned to look at Byron. Byronstared at the little hand on Rosalie‘s skirt. He felt a dull ache in his heart, which was almost similar tobeing hit in the chest by a blunt force trauma.
After a long while, he retracted his gaze and said solemnly, “I‘ll send all of you home. Wait a moment.I‘ll ask Mrs.Zora to pack up some of Estie‘s daily necessities.”
Seeing that he agreed, Rosalie and the boys were both surprised and overjoyed.
The two little boys even turned around and hugged the little girl with smiles on their faces.” We‘ll takecare of you!”
Later, Byron personally sent the four of them home.
Rosalie cradled Estie in her arms like a doll. She continued to cling to Rosalie as they entered the car,and her small hands still held onto Rosalie‘s skirt.
Lucian sat sensibly in the front passenger seat.
On the way, Byron explained to Rosalie the things she needed to pay attention to when taking care ofEstie.
Although Mrs. Zora would be there to assist, Byron had taken care of her when he was at home. Heknew Estie‘s habits very well. Estie would get up in the middle of the night, drink milk before going to
bed, and was picky toward certain foods. These were some of the things about Estie that he clearlyremembered.
In the end, Byron looked at the person in the backseat through the rearview mirror. His eyes darkened.“Estie has troubled you for the past two days. Thank you for being willing to help her.”
Rosalie lowered her eyes and responded indifferently, “As I said, the child‘s innocent. I‘ll take good careof her.”
After sending them back, Byron did not stay for long. He watched them set up Estie‘s room, saidgoodnight to Estie, and left. Rosalie felt a little strange as she looked at the new addition to her home.Byron entrusted his daughter to her with such confidence and then left without resistance? However,seeing Estie‘s sullen expression, these thoughts were all thrown out of her mind.
As Byron came out of Rosalie‘s house, his expression hardened. He took out his mobile phone andcalled Wendy. “Hey, dear. What‘s up?” Wendy’s voice was sickly sweet. She rarely received a call fromByron. She was the one who always initiated contact. She thought that Byron had finally come around.Byron‘s voice was cold. “See you at Legion Lake in half an hour.” After that, he hung up the phone.
