Chapter 147 Heart Aches
Byron thought that Rosalie was angry because the boys were upset. He promised as he was feelingsorry, “I didn‘t know before this, but now I do. Don‘t worry, I won‘t mention it in front of them again.”
Rosalie glanced at the children who were playing with Lego blocks in silence. Thinking again abouthow Byron had brought up the topic of their father with the two boys without her knowledge, she wasafraid. Having nothing else to say to Byron, she immediately asked him to leave the house.
“It‘s getting late. You should go back first, President Lawrence. Thank you for helping me pick up thechildren today.” Byron hesitated for a moment before nodding. He turned and left. He felt his heartblock up terribly during the journey back but still could not figure out the reason.
Byron loosened his tie and sat down on the sofa for a while after getting home, but he still feltuncomfortable.
After a while, he got up, grabbed a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and poured himself a glass bythe window.
The image of the dinner table tonight gradually came to mind after he had two drinks. The two boyshad asked him why he did not like them while looking aggrieved and angry. Thinking of theirexpressions and tones, Byron felt as if something had twisted his heart. There was a stab of pain.
After Byron left, Rosalie went to the children and played with them for a bit before getting them upstairsto go to bed.
After coaxing Estie to sleep, Rosalie hesitated for a bit before knocking on the boys‘ door.
Lucian and Nox were in bad moods because of what happened tonight and had not fallen asleep.
“Mommy, is something wrong?” Lucian asked in a puzzled voice after he opened the door and saw theperson at the door.
Rosalie caressed the little boy‘s head. “Mommy wants to talk to you. Let‘s go in and talk”novelbin
Nodding obediently, he turned around and walked to his bed. He was dressed in cow–themed pajamas.A few strands of his soft hair curled disobediently. The view of his back was very soft and cute.
Rosalie‘s heart softened. She closed the door before sitting down beside the boys‘ bed and caring forthem softly. “Uncle asked you guys about your daddy.this evening?”
The boys nodded obediently.
Lucian added mildly in his childlike voice, “We said we didn‘t have a father and that we didn‘t like him.”
Hearing this, Rosalie could not help her heart constricting as she felt a dull ache. It was obvious fromthe little one‘s tone that he was a little upset.
Her having always hidden their parentage had led to them thinking that they did not have a father.
If she were to let the boys know that the man they had been spending time with these two days wastheir father, she wondered what they would think…
“Do you… feel yourselves different from other children? Do you want a father?” Rosalie hesitatedbefore asking. The two boys shook their heads. “No.”
Rosalie frowned slightly. “But…” They were clearly in a bad mood because of what happened tonight.
The two boys hugged her on each arm, their expressions solemn. “Even though we don‘t have adaddy, we have a mommy! Our mommy is the best mommy in the world! No one can match up to you!Everyone is even envious of us!”
With that, Nox looked at his mommy naively as if to prove something. “Estie has her daddy, but doesn‘tshe also like Mommy better? Mommy is the best! We don‘t need a daddy!”
Rosalie felt a softness in her heart but also an ache. She hugged the two boys in her arms and saidnothing for a long time
