Chapter 181

Children Are Innocent

Byron vaguely heard the sound of the news broadcast inside and knew that Rosalie should have also
listened to the news. He frowned and tried to read her expression, but he did not notice anything amiss.

After a long while, she said in a deep voice, “I‘ve come to see Estie, how is she?”

Rosalie stepped sideways to make way for him, “She‘s upstairs. You came just in time; I also have
something to tell you about Estie.”

The two walked into the living room. Rosalie asked Byron to sit down on the sofa, while she sat on the
single–seater beside him. Mrs. Zora quickly poured tea for the two of them. Seeing that they had
something to say, she left quickly.

“What’s the matter?” Byron saw Rosalie‘s face, and his heart sank.

Rosalie said indifferently, “I promised to let Estie live here before because of Estie‘s condition. In the
past two days, Estie‘s condition has been much better. She has even learned to speak recently, and it
is considered a great improvement. I think she no longer needs to live here with us.”

She heavily hinted that Byron should bring Estie back. Hearing this, Byron‘s expression darkened
slightly, “Since she has made such great progress here, if she stays on longer, she might recover
completely. If it‘s not too much trouble…” Rosalie interrupted him without hesitation, “Sorry, Byron.
Ultimately, Estie is your daughter. I think she will recover better if she‘s with her father instead of a
stranger like me.”

Byron frowned when he saw her determination and said solemnly, “Why are you saying this all of a
sudden? Wasn‘t everything going well before?”



Rosalie met his gaze and smirked sarcastically, “I don’t think I am obligated to take care of your
daughter for you, Mr. Lawrence. I have taken care of Estie for so long because of her condition, and I
have done more than my part. You should also know there are limits. We are not that close, and you
shouldn‘t force the responsibility of taking care of your daughter onto me

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the TV that was still broadcasting the news, and added
coldly, “Also, I‘m not interested in getting involved with a taken man. I do not have any desire of being
accused as a homewrecker.”

Byron followed her gaze, but he could not refute her. Before he settled this matter, he had no grounds
to argue his case either. Seeing his silent acknowledgment, Rosalie‘s tone became colder, “In addition,
I am also extremely busy with work during this time, and helping you take care of your daughter will
only increase my burden. I don‘t want to overburden myself, so please don‘t put me in a difficult
situation, Mr. Lawrence. Please take your daughter back as soon as possible.”

After she finished saying her piece with a blank face, Rosalie looked away indifferently and clenched
her hand tightly. She also made a hasty decision when she saw Byron’s face. Byron and Wendy‘s
marriage was a foregone conclusion. If Estie stayed with her any longer, this man would inevitably
increase the frequency of his visits in the future. When that happened, what turn would their
relationship take? Instead of causing unnecessary misunderstandings then, it was better to distance
herself from this man now. Naturally, Byron understood what she meant and lowered his face, “Didn‘t
you say that children are innocent?”

Rosalie was noncommittal, “I won‘t stop Lucian and Nox from being friends with Estie, and I won‘t
refuse if Estie wants to come and play with them.”

However, what she did not say was that she would try to avoid seeing Byron.
