Chapter 78

The Pain Will Soon Be Gone

In the past, the two of them only had meals with Mommy. Occasionally, Godmother would join them for
dinner.

This was the first time they were eating with Daddy.

For a moment, Lucian and Nox were in different moods.

Byron stopped in his step and turned back to glance at Estie, whose eyes were welling up. He saw that
the table and cutlery had been placed on the seat next to the four of them, and a strange look flashed
across his eyes.

Logically speaking, the four of them were indeed a family. However, when he joined them, he seemed a
little out of place. As Byron was thinking about this, he moved automatically. When he realized it, he
had already sat down at the dining table. He did not know if the originally harmonious atmosphere
became a little awkward because of him.

Lucian and Nox fell silent and only lowered their heads to eat what was on their plates. Without the
brothers talking to her, Estie could not eat anymore. She just held up her fork and nibbled on it. “Is
there something here that you don‘t like to eat?” Rosalie noticed the little girl‘s strange behavior and
asked.

Hearing this, Estie quickly shook her head. She likes all the dishes that the beautiful lady cooked.

However, she was just not in the mood right now… Knowing that little Estie could not speak, Nox
stopped eating to answer on her behalf, “Little Estie is just like us. She doesn‘t like carrots and green
peppers. She often picks these out in kindergarten!” Rosalie smiled, “I‘ll help you pick them out, okay?”
Estie smiled again and nodded obediently.



Seeing this, Rosalie got up and walked to her side. She started picking the carrots and green peppers
from Estie‘s bowl into hers. After that, she watched the little girl pick up the spoon.

Estie was about to continue eating, but she accidentally tugged the back of her hand, causing tears to
well up from the pain. Her hands froze in place. She raised her head and looked at Rosalie with tear–
filled eyes. Seeing the little girl’s discomfort, Rosalie quickly put down the cutlery in her hand and asked
her, “What‘s wrong?” Estie bit her lower lip and tried her best to hold back her tears. She extended the
back of her hand to Rosalie.

Seeing the back of the little girl‘s hand, everyone was shocked.

The little girl‘s skin was very fair, and under the light, the red marks on the back of her hand looked a
little scary.

Rosalie frowned sharply and asked in concern, “How did this happen?” Estie bit her lip and said
nothing. .

Rosalie looked at Byron again. Byron felt guilty for no reason at the look of accusation in her eyes, but
his face remained calm.

“She might have hurt herself when she smashed the things.” Rosalie‘s eyes were even more worried.

“Smashed the things?”

Byron said solemnly, “Estie doesn’t know how to express her emotions. When she‘s very angry, she‘ll
occasionally smash things to vent her frustration.” He did not know how to tell Rosalie that Estie had
autism. He did not know how she would react when she found out. Rosalie‘s eyes flashed with
surprise, then she turned to Estie to confirm.

“Did you hurt yourself?”



Estie hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. Seeing her confession, Byron frowned slightly.
“Why didn‘t you tell Daddy?” Estie flinched and huddled beside Rosalie. Seeing the little girl‘s
trepidation, Rosalie gave Byron a dissatisfied look again. The child was hurt, yet this man still spoke in
such a tone.

“It hurts badly, doesn‘t it?” Looking away from the man, Rosalie held the little girl‘s hand and rubbed it
gently. Estie pursed her lips and nodded.

“Be a good girl. I‘ll help you to apply some medicine. The pain will soon be gone, okay?” Rosalie let go
of her hand and instructed her two sons, “Keep Estie company while I go get the first aid kit.”

The two boys nodded obediently and started to tell Estie about the interesting things they knew.
