Chapter 140

Haste Makes Waste

After Melody left Rosalie‘s house, she still gave Wendy a call after some contemplation during the
journey back On the other end, Wendy saw her phone ringing early in the morning and was a little
puzzled.

“Wendy, I‘ve talked to Byron. You said before that Byron wanted to terminate his engagement with you,
but he won’t mention it again.” Although this was only a one–sided request from her, her son had not
refused. Hence, Melody immediately conveyed it like it was. Hearing this, Wendy was happy.

“Is that true, Aunt Melody?” After saying that, she pretended to be aggrieved and continued asking,
“But what about Rosalie? She seems very close to Byron. Estelle also likes her…”

At the mention of Rosalie, Melody‘s tone sank.

“Don‘t worry about her. Byron‘s future wife can only be you! As for Estelle, she‘s still a child at the end
of the day. You should be more patient with her. We‘ll let the matter slide this time, but you can‘t do it
again in the future!”

Wendy obediently promised, “Don‘t worry, Aunt Melody. I‘ll treat Estie like my own daughter and won‘t
touch a hair on her head.” As she said this, Wendy recalled Estelle had been living in Rosalie‘s place
these two days and felt a little uneasy. She asked, “By the way, is Estelle home now? I want to
personally apologize to her.”

Melody‘s voice was a little cold. “Not yet. I wanted to take her back, but Estelle‘s current situation is not
very stable. She‘s willing to stay with Rosalie, which is also conducive to her recovery. I‘ll pick her up
when she‘s better.”

Hearing this, a chill flashed past Wendy‘s eyes. The wretched little girl was still with Rosalie.



Byron had been reluctant to marry her because the little wretch did not like her. Now, she was getting
closer and closer to Rosalie. It was hard to guarantee that Byron would not refuse to marry her again
because of the little wretch and marry Rosalie once more!

The more Wendy contemplated this, the unhappier she was, but she could only count on Melody now.
When she spoke to her, her tone was particularly obedient, “I understand, Aunt Melody. Anything for
Estie‘s health.” Hearing her thoughtful words, Melody‘s heart eased as she said earnestly, “Wendy, you
must be patient if you want to achieve something. Do you know what I mean?”

Wendy replied patiently, “I understand, Aunt Melody. Don‘t worry.” Melody nodded with satisfaction. “I‘ll
invite your parents out later and fix your marriage as soon as possible. Don‘t worry. Haste makes
waste.”

Wendy‘s eyes lit up. The frustrations in her heart cleared as she answered with a smile.

That evening, Rosalie was cutting it close when she went to pick up children from kindergarten. Byron
was already there by the time she arrived.

Rosalie thought Byron would have dinner at her home as he did yesterday before leaving, but Byron
only walked them to the door before telling her that he had some matters to attend to. He immediately
left. Mrs. Zora had already prepared their meal when they entered. Rosalie ate dinner with the children
and played with them downstairs for a while before urging them to go upstairs to bed.

After tucking Lucian and Nox in, Rosalie returned to the room. Mrs. Zora was done giving Estie a
shower, and the little one was sitting on the bed like a plush toy wearing rabbit pajamas. She was
waiting for her to come back.

The moment she saw her come in, she revealed a sweet smile and opened her arms out asking for a
hug



Rosalie came forward and hugged the little one in her arms. The child also wrapped her arms around
her neck obediently while sticking her soft little face to the side of Rosalie‘s face. Rosalie felt her heart
soften.
