Chapter 180 What Are You Doing Here?
At the same time… Rosalie had a habit of watching the news over breakfast. She took care of the threechildren while keeping an ear out for the news broadcast.
“The engagement between the Lawrences and Fullers has lasted for six long years. Now, we finallyhave confirmation that the marriage will take place in the near future,” said a man‘s voice.
Rosalie paused halfway through filling the children‘s plates. After a few seconds of silence, shecontinued as though nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Lucian and Nox immediately lost their appetite. Their expressions crumpled.
While they were abroad, they had been curious about their father too. They could not wait to see him.
After they returned to the country and realized that their Daddy had another child, the two boysresented him for it. They even hated him for abandoning their mother. novelbin
Once they had gotten to know him better, though, they noticed that Daddy was not as cruel andheartless to Mommy as they had thought. In fact, he took very good care of her. Besides, althoughDaddy did not know that they were his sons, he was very patient with them and even gave thempresents.
They were slowly beginning to accept him. Once they heard this news, though, their impression of himwent back to the time when they first found out he had a daughter. Daddy was the worst. He got closerto them even while he was getting married to another woman. In that case, they would rather he stayedaway from the start! Estie heard the news too, and the sparkle in her eyes gradually dimmed. She didnot like that mean lady. She only wanted this pretty auntie to be her Mommy. Back when she was at
home, Daddy promised that he would not make that mean lady her Mommy. But now.. Was it becauseDaddy did not love her anymore?
Estie was extremely dejected.
Rosalie noticed the change in her mood and frowned slightly. “What‘s the matter, Estie?” Estie pouted,her large eyes filled with dismay.
“Not happy.” Thanks to Rosalie and the boys‘ efforts over the past few days, Estie had learned how tosay a few short sentences. She could briefly describe her feelings now too. Rosalie was even moreperplexed to hear that. “Why are you unhappy? Can you tell me?”
Estie lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers unhappily..
She wanted the pretty auntie to be her Mommy, but the pretty auntie did not seem to like her Daddy.Daddy was the worst! He was even going to marry that mean lady! All of a sudden, all three childrenlooked utterly depressed. Rosalie felt a headache coming on.
No one enjoyed breakfast that morning. After breakfast, the three children did not play with their Legoon the carpet as usual, either. All of them stood up and went upstairs in unison. Rosalie vaguelysensed that it was because of the news report, but she could not quite understand why the childrenwere taking it so hard. Besides, her heart was a mess right now too. She did not have the time towonder what the children were thinking.
After six years, Byron was finally going to marry Wendy, just as he wanted… While she was distracted,the doorbell rang. Rosalie returned to her senses and opened the door.
She was stunned to see the man at the door, though. She paused for a few seconds before sherecovered enough to ask, “What are you doing here?”
The main character of that news report was standing at her door, dressed only in a thin shirt. Hisusually immaculate hair was a tad unkempt, and he had a deep frown. After their previous argument,Rosalie was aware that Byron kept dropping back, but he wisely stayed out of her view. This wasactually the first time they had met after that fight. Add that to the news report she had just heard, andRosalie did not really know how she should face him right now.
