Chapter 182 This Is Not Your Home
After a long silence, Byron broke the silence coldly, “As you wish.”
Rosalie nodded and went upstairs to tell Estie to come down. The three children were in Lucian and Nox‘s bedroom and looked dejected. The atmosphere in the bedroom was somber.
Lucian and Nox were playing with a robot in their hands, while Estie buried her face in her doll‘s stomach. They were all staring into space. The three children looked over in unison when they heard the door opening. Rosalie‘s heart softened when she met the children‘s hopeful gazes. Thinking of the man downstairs, she steeled her heart and said softly, “Estie, your father is here to pick you up.” Hearing this, the three children were all stunned.
Estie opened her eyes blankly and hugged the doll in her arms.
Rosalie lowered her eyes and repeated awkwardly, “Your father is waiting downstairs, come down quickly.”
After speaking, she waited silently at the door. “Auntie…” Estie‘s timid voice piped up reluctantly. Rosalie forced herself not to look at the little girl‘s expression. She did not speak, for fear that she would make her stay. After a long while, the little girl appeared at the door. Rosalie could not help herself from patting Estie‘s head and took her hand downstairs. Byron had already gotten up from the sofa and was standing in the center of the living room with one hand in his pocket. It was as if he would leave immediately when Estie appeared and did not intend to overstay his welcome.
“Auntie…” Estie bit her lip persistently. If she went back with Daddy, she did not know if she would be able to see Auntie again… Looking into the little girl‘s eyes, Rosalie suddenly realized what she was thinking, and it rendered her speechless momentarily.
After being silent for a few seconds, she smiled a little and said softly, “Auntie will always be here. If you want, you can come and play at any time.” Estie was still somewhat skeptical.
On the other hand, Byron had seen enough of Rosalie‘s tricks to send Estie away, and urged her coldly, “Estelle Lawrence, don‘t forget that this is not your home.” Estie lowered her eyes slowly in resignation. She turned around and walked to her Daddy‘s side.
