My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Did Not Dare To Imagine

 The cars ahead began to move again. Rosalie removed her foot from the brake and turned her gaze back to the road.

She scoffed at the thought of his expression. 

“Aren‘t you engaged to Miss Fuller, President Lawrence? But you‘re getting awfully close to me because of Estie. Isn‘t that a little inappropriate?”

She did not even know who Estie‘s mother was.

In that case, that man‘s behavior was even more deplorable.

Where did he find the nerve to criticize her?

Byron did not expect her to bring up Estie. His expression turned complicated, and he said vaguely, “That‘s different.” After all, Estie was her daughter in the first place. Rosalie just snorted. 

“How is that different? Besides, Estie is the only thing tying us together. Without her, we aren‘t even friends. Who I make friends with is my business. It has nothing to do with you, President Lawrence. You‘re overstepping your boundaries here.” The temperature in the car plummeted after she said that. 

Byron‘s expression was below freezing. His gaze was fixed on the distance, and he did not say a word for the rest of the journey. Rosalie pursed her lips tightly, her heart an utter mess, but her expression was just as cold. Nothing happened for the rest of the ride. Byron did not tell her where he was going, so Rosalie simply drove back to her home.

Once there, she opened the door and stepped out without waiting for him to say anything.

A moment later, Byron stepped out of the passenger‘s seat as well.

Byron gave her a long look and then turned to leave without a word.

As he walked away, Rosalie opened her mouth, but no words came out. She merely sighed soundlessly and turned to go back into the manor.

As soon as she walked inside, the three children pounced on her enthusiastically, like three little buns.

Rosalie crouched down as she usually did, holding her arms open and taking them into her embrace.

Their soft bodies and sweet scents melted her heart in an instant. She held them close and hugged them tightly, forgetting all about her frustrations from before.
