For a while, he could not guess what Rosalie was thinking.novelbin
To the side, Andrea had constantly been paying attention to Rosalie. She did not miss the turbulencethat flashed across Rosalie‘s face when her mother mentioned Byron‘s marriage.
Noting the fluctuations in Rosalie‘s mood, Andrea became more and more excited. She echoed hermother‘s words, “That‘s right, Byron and Wendy are a perfect couple. Even though they haven‘t heldthe banquet, who hasn‘t been treating them as if they‘re family all these years?” With that, she glancedat Rosalie loftily. Melody already had this in her mind. Hearing them mention this, she responded with asmile, “This matter has really been delayed for a long time. Our two families have also recently beenplanning to put their engagement on the agenda. We should be sitting down and talking about it in twodays.”
Andrea wanted to fan the flames more when Byron‘s voice stiffly intervened.
“Old Man Quirke, it‘s your birthday banquet today. I don‘t think you should talk about me.”
Hearing this, Old Master Quirke was stunned for a moment before looking at Byron and Wendy. He justthought that the two youngsters were embarrassed. He smiled and nodded before diverting theconversation to something else. It would rude for the others younger than him to bring it up again too.Rosalie had no reason to feel her heart beat slower, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next topic had nothing to do with her, which made her feel out of place. After listening tothe conversation for a while, Rosalie was becoming somewhat impatient and wanted to find a place tohide and relax. “Old Master, I‘m a little tired. If there‘s nothing else, I‘m going to go get some rest.”Taking advantage of the gap between their conversation, Rosalie quietly inserted. After she said that,Old Master Quirke looked over at her with concern. “What‘s the matter? Is something wrong?” Rosaliesmiled shyly. “It‘s nothing. I‘ve been wearing high heels for a long time and my feet are tired. I want tosit down for a while.” Seeing that she was not feeling ill, the old master did not keep her any longer. Henodded and
let her go.
Rosalie politely bade the crowd goodbye and turned toward a corner. She could still feel the man‘seyes following her after she turned around.
Rosalie‘s body unconsciously constricted as she quickened her pace. “Old Man Quirke, I‘ll be goingover first.”
Byron watched the woman sit down on the sofa in the corner. There were many gazes flitting about herbody, and his own gaze sunk slightly.
Old Master Quirke was confused. “Where are you rushing off to?”
Considering the Lawrence family‘s status and the famous families who came to the birthday banquettoday, only they were in the position to come and greet Byron. There was no reason for Byron to greetsomeone of his own accord.
Hence, all Byron needed to do was to stand here.
Byron frowned. For a moment, he was unable to come up with a reason.
Melody, on the other hand, saw through his thoughts and knew that he was hurrying to go look forRosalie. She was unhappy. She grabbed his arm and smiled appropriately. “There are several eldersover there who have also cooperated with our family. Since you‘re here, you should go and say hello tothem.” Byron followed her gaze and did see several elders who were friends with the Lawrence family.After hesitating for a few seconds, he agreed.
Melody winked at Wendy. Wendy took the hint and said, “They‘re all elders I know. I was just thinking ofheading over to greet them too!” With that, she smiled and followed Byron. Byron frowned. There wasno excuse to drive her away, so he could only acquiesce to her following him. To the eyes of theoutsiders, they were a lovely couple.
