Chapter 129 Are You Hurt?
Rosalie also felt the same way in the morning. Her heart softened from what Nox said, and sheresponded with a smile, “Maybe. Thank you for taking care of her. I‘m more at ease.” Nox swore andpatted his little chest as his childlike voice assured, “Don‘t worry, Mommy. Brother, and I will continue totake care of her!”
Rosalie burst out laughing.
Hearing the little guy‘s assurance and Rosalie‘s light laughter, Byron could not help but glance throughthe rearview mirror. Their affectionate interaction brought warmth to his heart.
‘I have to say that this woman taught these two little boys very well. Compared to children of the sameage, the two of them behave like adults.‘
When they reached Rosalie‘s place, Byron planned to leave immediately after. After all, he saw thatRosalie was taking good care of Estie. Even her two children treated Estelle like their own sister. Therewas no need for him to stay and make them uncomfortable.
Rosalie got the kids out of the car and took one look at Estie who was wedged between the boys. Shehesitated for a moment, but then spoke to Byron, “Let‘s have dinner together. Little Estie would behappy to have you around.”
Byron was quite surprised and contemplated for a few seconds. Then in his deep voice, he said,“Thank you. I hope that‘s no trouble for you.”
Byron closed the car door and strode in.
Rosalie washed her hands and went to the kitchen to cook, while Lucian and Nox took Little Estie tobuild Lego on the carpet. Byron hesitated at the door but still stood by the carpet, waiting to give the
children a hand.
He noticed that what was supposed to be the adult edition of loose Lego blocks quickly turned into acompleted structure in the hands of the little ones.
After finishing the Lego project, Nox looked up at Byron while holding the completed parts with somehesitation on his face.
Byron casually reached out his hand, and the little boy obediently handed the Lego to him. The boywatched him assemble the rest of the pieces but did not say thank you. He just pursed his mouth andlowered his head.
At first, Estie just sat on the floor and watched the boys move about. Then, she suddenly reached outand grabbed a Lego block. Lucian and Nox could not help but stop in their tracks, their eyes sparklingwith anticipation. After a while, Little Estie straightforwardly moved her hands. Her speed wascomparable to theirs.
The boys looked at each other with joy in their eyes, thinking that their little sister might haveremembered the time when they played Lego together before. Byron also saw this. At first, he wasshocked, but then his heart was flooded with emotions.
It was true. Estie like them very much. Rosalie was done preparing dinner and noticed that they werestaring at the pile of Lego blocks attentively. She did not want to distract the kids, so she simply walkedout with a pot of soupnovelbin
Coming out of the kitchen, her arm bumped the door frame, causing her to drop the pot of hot souponto the floor. Loud clatter filled the room, and the soup was splashed all over the floor.
The four of them in the living room looked over at the commotion.
Byron was the first to react. He strode to her side. “Are you hurt?”
After saying that, he looked at her carefully, only to see a patch of red on the woman‘s fair arm. Withoutwaiting for her to speak, Byron carefully held onto her arm that was not injured and took her to the sinkto wash her wound.
Although Lucian and Nox were also worried for Mommy, they decided they could be of better help bycleaning the floor.
Rosalie endured the pain to stop them. “Don‘t come here. The pot is still hot. Take the little girl out.”
The two little boys hesitated for a while, but they agreed obediently and held Estie‘s hand as they triedto take her out of the room.
However, Little Estie seemed to be resisting them. She stood on the spot with her lips downturned,refusing to go out. The two little boys did not know what to do.
Just as they wanted to ask Mommy for help, a sob was heard. All four were stunned, then they lookedat Estie in shock The little girl‘s eyes were red, and her face was covered with tears. She was sobbingnon–stop.
