Chapter 171 Take Care Of Your Own Business novelbin
Rosalie seemed to sense a cold gaze watching her. Confused, she turned and looked around, but shecould not see anything out of the ordinary.
“What‘s the matter?” Leon noticed something was amiss and asked her concernedly. Rosalie pulled hergaze back and shook her head somewhat hesitantly.
“It‘s nothing.” That was what she said, but Rosalie was a little distracted for the rest of the meal. Thatgaze was almost real. It did not seem like she was imagining it at all. However, she just could not figureout where it was coming from. It was only at the end of their meal that Rosalie forced herself to stopindulging her suspicions. Leon politely offered, “It‘s getting late. Shall I send you home?” Rosaliedeclined with a smile.
“It‘s fine. I drove here, and I wouldn‘t want to trouble you.” Leon did not insist any further. The two ofthem left the restaurant, chatting cheerfully. Leon watched Rosalie get into her car before he turnedaround and got his, slowly driving out of the parking lot. Rosalie had just fastened her seatbelt and wasabout to start her car when someone suddenly opened her passenger side door.
A man invited himself into her car, emanating an air of cold hostility. Rosalie was startled and froze fora moment before she instinctively glanced at him. She frowned abruptly when she saw who it was
“What are you up to this time, President Lawrence?”
Byron closed the door expressionlessly. “Nothing. My car malfunctioned and you happened to be here.Please give me a ride, Miss Jacobs.”
The cold aura around him was almost physically perceptible. Rosalie knew that the atmosphere wouldonly get more awkward if she continued probing, so she shut her mouth and obediently started the
engine.
It was dead silent inside the car.
Byron stared at the woman next to him with a deep frown and a dark gaze. He remembered how closeshe had been to Martin and how they had met each other in private. They were behaving just likelovers would…
Byron could not help but break the silence at that. “Is Martin Lucian and Nox‘s father?” Rosalie wascompletely taken aback and bewildered. Where did he get that idea from? Her reaction made his frowndeepen. “Is it really him?” Rosalie recovered, feeling exasperated. “It‘s all in your imagination.”
Byron still sounded displeased. “Alright, so are you planning to make him their father?”
Rosalie was even more flabbergasted now. “No. Leon and I get along, but please don‘t make suchbaseless conjectures. You‘ll just cause us unnecessary trouble.”
Byron watched her expression closely and finally seemed to calm down slightly. “In that case. shouldn‘tyou maintain your distance from other men, for the boys‘ sake?”
He had been acting strangely since he got into the car tonight, Rosalie thought. He had been sayingthings that made her uncomfortable, too. For some reason, she felt as though he was being sarcasticand taunting her with those lines. She was getting a little annoyed with him, and his last words wereeven more laughable.“ What right do you have to say that about me, President Lawrence?”
Byron could hear the barbs in her words. He frowned slightly. Rosalie slowed down the car inaccordance with the traffic and then turned to look at the man next to her. Her tone was slightly cold.“Before you stick your nose into other people‘s lives, you should take care of your own business!”“What do you mean by that?” Byron‘s expression darkened again.
