Chapter 136

Don‘t Get Any Ideas About Them

Rosalie saw her sit down on the sofa. She turned to close the door, then sat down on the single –seater
sofa. She looked at the person in front of her neither humbly nor haughtily.

“You‘re here early in the morning, Mrs. Lawrence. Is something the matter?”

Melody went straight to the point.

“I came here today to tell you to distance yourself from Byron and not to get any ideas about Estie. She
has nothing to do with you. Since you chose to have a divorce and leave, you have no right to come
back.”

Hearing her words, Rosalie could not help finding things a little ridiculous. She calmly responded,
“Don‘t worry, I had no thoughts about returning when I chose to leave back then.”

“Is that so?” Melody sneered.

“Then how do you explain your meeting with Byron? And why is Estelle here?” Melody looked at the
woman in front of her with disdain after she said that.

She said she would never come back but it was all to butter them up. What duplicity! Rosalie frowned
slightly and toughened her attitude.

“You might have misunderstood something. My meeting with Byron was but a mere coincidence. Byron
was visiting when I just so happened to be treating Old Master Quirke. Also, Estie is in the same
kindergarten as my children. They have a good relationship. That‘s why she often comes to play with
them.” Rosalie did not explain that Estie had gotten ill and depended on her. With Melody‘s hostile
attitude toward her now, she was afraid that if she said it, Melody would think that she was being
sentimental.



However, she did not expect Melody to still be on her case so tightly despite having made things so
clear and trying to skim her relationship with the father–daughter.

“How could there be such a coincidence? With who you are now, it shouldn‘t be difficult for you to
check a kindergarten‘s background. Why did you choose the one the Lawrence family invested in?”
Melody asked aggressively. Rosalie was unable to explain for a moment.

Mary had recommended the kindergarten to her, so naturally, she would not think too much into it, let
alone investigate the kindergarten‘s background.

She would not have sent her two children there if she had investigated.

Seeing that she had not answered after some time, Melody figured she was guilty and snorted coldly.

“I’m telling you, I won‘t allow you to come back again regardless of what your schemes are. You’d
better not get any ideas about them!”

Rosalie nodded. “Don‘t worry, I haven‘t thought about going back either.”

“You‘d better remember what you said!” Melody warned coldly.

The three children had just come out after having their meals when they saw Melody sitting on the sofa.
Lucian and Nox were a little confused, but they also noticed that this woman was

not treating mommy well. They ran to their mommy with short legs to protect her.

Estie recognized her grandmother. She ran to her side and stared at her with big eyes. She looked at
her, puzzled. Melody saw her granddaughter and caressed her head. “Estelle, will you be good and
come home with Grandma?”

Hearing this, Estie shook her head without hesitation and turned around to return to Rosalie‘s side.



Melody saw through her intentions and immediately reached out to grab the little girl‘s arm.

Estie struggled a bit but could not release herself no matter what. Her face turned red with anxiety.

“Be good and come back with Grandma!” Melody‘s tone became harsher, and she unconsciously
increased the strength in her hands. Estie felt the pain. Not willing the leaving Rosalie, she pursed her
lips and began sobbing quietly where she stood. Seeing her granddaughter cry, Melody then realized
that she had gone a tad bit overboard. Frowning, she released her hand. However, Estie was still
crying non–stop.
