Chapter 185

I Can Only Throw It Away

Before she knew it, the operation took more than seven hours.

At the same time, almost all the children had left the kindergarten, and there were only three children
left. Although Estie was no longer staying with them, Lucian and Nox treated her as usual in
kindergarten.

Seeing that no one came to pick her up, the two boys brought Estie to build a sandcastle in the sand pit
and had a great time.

When Byron arrived, he saw three children squatting on the sand, and the small playground in the
kindergarten was full of their laughter

“Estie,” When the three children finished laughing, Byron stepped forward and called his daughter.
Estie looked at the two boys and reluctantly got up after a long time. Byron frowned and looked at
Lucian and Nox, “Where‘s your mommy?”

Although the two boys had decided that they did not like him anymore, they still stood up politely.
Lucian pursed his lips and tilted his head to look at the small pile of sand they had just piled up,
ignoring Byron.

Nox replied innocently, “Mommy is performing an operation today. Maybe it‘s a little complicated, that‘s
why she hasn‘t come yet.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Lucian‘s expression. He quickly changed
his words, “Well, but she should be here soon. Goodbye, uncle! Bye Estie!” Byron nodded, reaching
out to pull Estie away.

His outstretched hand was empty.



Estie lowered her head and took a few steps back, standing behind Lucian and Nox. She shook her
head firmly at her Daddy.

The two boys realized that Estie was unwilling to leave and turned around to persuade her in low
voices. After persuading for a long time, Estie still shook her head. She even reached out and grabbed
the straps of their schoolbags, “Stay with you!”

Since Byron brought her back from Rosalie‘s house, she had been very indifferent to Byron these days.
If something went wrong, she would cry non–stop. Byron did not dare to force her anymore and could
only follow her wishes. He nodded and said, “I‘ll wait with you for a while.”

The three children were not as relaxed as before with him around. They sat in a row on the small
benches and did not say a word.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the sky was dark. However, Rosalie was nowhere to be seen. Byron
had a serious expression on his face. He took out his mobile phone and called Rosalie.

After calling several times in a row, there was still no answer on the other end.

It looked like she was still in the operating theater. Looking at the time, Byron looked down at the three
children, “Are you hungry? I‘ll take you to eat something.”

Estie‘s eyes brightened, and she looked expectantly at the two boys beside her. Lucian held the strap
of his bag in his little hands and shook his head with a sullen face, “We will wait for Mommy. Please
take Estie back first, Uncle.” Although Nox was a little hungry, he managed to endure it and nodded in
agreement with his brother, “Estie must be hungry, Uncle. Please take her back soon!” The light in
Estie‘s eyes dimmed, and she stubbornly shook her head at her Daddy. She said firmly, “I‘m not
hungry!” If the boys did not leave, she would not leave either. She wanted to accompany them! Byron



felt his temples throb. He tried to persuade the children again, but the three children were more
stubborn than he could imagine.

Byron had to ask them to wait while he went to the stalls outside to buy some food and bring in for the
children.

“Thank you, Uncle, but we are not hungry.” Lucian refused obstinately. Nox patted his belly pitifully and
agreed with his brother against his will. Byron could probably guess that the previous incident had
made the boys prejudiced against him, and he was a little helpless against them.

“I bought this especially for you. Since you don‘t want to eat it, I can only throw it away.” Byron made a
gesture of tossing the food into the trash can. The two little guys hesitated for a while before finally
accepting it because they were unwilling to waste food.
