Chapter 80 There‘s No Way He‘d Fall for It
Seeing Daddy eat the food from his brother, Nox‘s eyes lit up. He tentatively gave Daddy a spoonful offood too.
He did not think too much about it. He just scooped some food from the plate in front of him, thenstared at the older man expectantly. Byron noticed that the other little boy was getting some food andthought the boy was going to make him suffer too, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw thatthe boy had just grabbed some food from a random dish nearby. After coming back to his senses, hesmiled at the boy.
“Thank you. You should eat some more too.”
After saying that, he also served some food to the boy. He still remembered the dishes that the littleboy had previously mentioned he did not like eating and deliberately avoided them. Nox‘s eyeswidened in surprise.
“Thank you, Mr. Byron! I will!” Daddy actually served some food to him! Observing the interactionbetween the two, Lucian pouted in disdain.
Nox, this idiot! How could he not see through such an obvious attempt of trying to win him over?!
There was no way he would not fall for it!
After an awkward dinner, Rosalie got up to clear the table.
Out of courtesy, Byron silently helped her with clearing the tableware. His movements were hesitant ashe did not know what he should do next.
Logically speaking, now that dinner was over, he should be heading home with Estie.
However, he did end up bothering them, so it did not feel right for him to just leave like that.novelbin
Sensing his predicament, Rosalie calmly said, “I can handle it myself. Please go out and help watchover the children.”
Byron nodded, then headed to the living room.
Estie was huddled with the two boys as they assembled the Lego set they had built the last time.
The three kids had already assembled one of the sections, but the area that said section was to be fitinto was slightly out of reach for them. Usually, Lucian and Nox would assemble the segments, thenRosalie would help them fit them into place.
Now that Rosalie was washing the dishes, the three kids were trying to figure out how to do it on theirown.
Lucian looked around, then decided to go to the dining room to grab a chair. Byron happened to walkout just then. Seeing the kids‘ struggle, he tried to soften his expression. He stretched his hand outtoward Lucian. “Give it to me.”
Lucian hesitated for a few seconds, then placed the assembled section into the older man‘s large hand.
Byron took it, then assembled the section according to instructions from the kids. “Thank you,” Lucianthanked him reluctantly. Byron raised a brow lightly, then nodded noncommittally. Standing to one sidewith a hand in his pocket, he watched the three kids happily assembling the Lego blocks. He wouldoccasionally step in to help them.
In the kitchen, Rosalie was absent–mindedly washing the dishes, her attention constantly on the groupoutside. She even felt slightly bad. She should not have kept Byron for so long and should have letthem leave once they were done with dinner. Lucian and Nox had said all those things to Byron when
they confronted him previously. Now that she let them all be together alone again, Rosalie just couldnot help feeling restless.
Especially as she observed the scene outside and saw that they were getting along fairly well. Rosaliewas more worried that the two boys would say something that they should not. If Byron found out thatthe two of them were his children… Rosalie felt panic rise up in her heart.
She feared that Byron might take them away from her. In her current position, it would be too easy forByron to snatch the two boys away from her. She did not even dare to imagine what she would feel atthat time, and even less so of what would become of the two boys if they were to leave her…
The more Rosalie thought about it, the more terrified she felt.
Before she realized it, the bowl in her hand slipped to the floor, and by the time she finally snapped outof it, all she heard was the crash of broken glass. Startled, the four in the living room turned to thekitchen in unison.
