Chapter 217

I Miss You

“Auntie!” Byron had tried everything to get her to talk last night to no avail, but now the mere sight of
Rosalie had her crying out in delight. Byron frowned, letting the girl’s hand go and letting her run to
Rosalie’s side. Rosalie had heard Estie’s voice too. She stiffened for a second before she turned
around.

By then, Estle was already hugging her leg and looking up at her, her eyes filled with excitement

“Hello, Estie” Rosalse could not help but melt at the sight. She crouched down and rubbed the girl’s
head

Estle bearned at tter and asked slowly, “Auntie, why din fetch Lu and No?”

She then held out four fingers and said sweetly, “Four days. I miss you.”

Rosalie’s gaze softened at that. She did not really know how to reply.

She knew that Estie would grow anxious without her, yet she had no choice but to avoid Estie too if she
wanted to keep her distance from Byron.

Looking at Estie now, Rosalie selt nothing but guilt.

After a brief silence, Rosalie came up with an excuse. “I’ve been really busy with work lately, so I
couldn’t stop by. I really missed you too, Estie. You’ll see me every day once I finish up my work,
okay?”

She then averted her gaze guiltily.

Estie had full faith in her, so she nodded obediently. “I wait for Auntie!”



Rosalie forced a smile. “Good girl. Now go inside with the boys, or you’ll be late.”

She could not help but tell her sons, “Take care of her, okay?”

The boys could not understand their mother’s attitude toward Estie anymore. They hesitated for a
moment before nodding.

Once all the children had gone into the kindergarten, Rosalie stood up and calmly nodded at the man
behind her in lieu of a greeting. She was planning to turn and leave directly.

However, she had barely taken two steps before a large hand grabbed hold of her wrist.
