My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

No Choice “Is something the matter, President Lawrence?” 

Rosalie stopped and looked at the man behind her detachedly, as though he was nothing more than a stranger. Byron frowned deeply as he met her gaze. Her attitude toward him was the reason why he reached out to her as she was moving away, surprising even himself. It felt to him like she would truly vanish from his sight if he did not reach out to her 

He did not respond, so Rosalie tried to pull her wrist away with a frown. “If there isn’t anything, please let go. I need to get to work.” 

Both of them were very good-looking, and the parents who sent their children here were all prolific members of society as well. Almost all of them knew who Byron was. 

As such, Byron and Rosalie were already starting to attract some stares. Rosalie was terrified that rumors would start circulating about them if they kept getting tangled up like this. 

That would cause her another boatload of trouble. 

Byron noticed that she was struggling against his grip, so he let her go and looked at her with an unreadable expression. “I talked to Estie yesterday, and she told me you put in a lot of effort to help her. That’s why she made such rapid progress. I thought I should thank you for that.” 

What he said was an excuse to get her to stay, but it was also the truth. 

Al first he assumed that Estie would simply be happier when she was with Rosalie, but now he knew that Rosalie did a lot more than he had thought. 

She had wondered if Estie would feel upset if she stayed away, but then again she did not think she would matter that much to the little girl. Besides, Byron would be there to take care of her. 

Furthermore, Byron picked Estie up from school every day. If she did not avoid both of them, she would end up bumping into Byron… 

“Estie has been feeling very down because she hasn’t seen you lately. As her father, I don’t know you that well, so I have no choice but to invite you out for a meal. Think of it as my way of thanking you for taking care of Estie. At the same time, I hope you’ll spend more time with  her.” 

Byron’s tone was distant and polite, but there was also an authority in them that brook no argument. 

Rosalie had been starting to feel guilty toward Estie, but she frowned at his words. “You’re too used to doing business, President Lawrence. Not everything can be settled over a meal. If there isn’t anything else, I’ll be going to work now.”
