Chapter 62

Urging You To Get Married

“Dad, Mom, why are you here?” Byron frowned as he asked.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lawrence, Melody, who had been worriedly checking if her little granddaughter was
injured, rebuked, “I heard that my sweetheart went missing early in the morning. Shouldn‘t I be
worried? I was so scared that I quickly pulled your father to come over here to have a look. Also, how
could you not have told us about something so huge?!” Byron was speechless.

“Estie, tell me, where did you run off to?” Melody had confirmed that she was not hurt before pulling her
into her arms affectionately. “How could you run off on your own when you‘re still so young? You
scared me. You can‘t do this in the future, okay?” she said with concern.

Wendy also added, “If there’s anything you’re unhappy about, you can come and tell me. Don‘t run
away without a word. Your grandparents were worried about you. I was also ready to head out and
search for you. Fortunately, you‘re back!”

Estie, who was being held in her grandmother‘s arms, showed a cold expression when she heard this.
She gave no response.

Byron knew that the little girl did not like this kind of atmosphere. He walked forward as if nothing had
happened and took her from his mother‘s arms. He calmly said, “She‘s very smart. She didn‘t run too
far, so you don‘t have to worry.“,

Estie hugged her daddy‘s neck and buried her head into his shoulder.

Melody looked at her little granddaughter and felt distressed. She turned to her son and complained, “I
think it‘s because you’ve been neglecting Estie from working all day. If you get married sooner, you‘ll



have someone to take care of her. Estie won‘t be so lonely. She won‘t be thinking about running away
from home all day!”

Hearing this, Byron frowned slightly. He was able to tell that his mother was going to urge him to get
married again, so he immediately promised, “I‘ll try not to go out on weekends and stay at home with
her in the future. I didn‘t plan to go out today, but there was an emergency in the company and I had to
go.”

Melody did not manage to achieve her goal, so she simply went straight to the point, “Don‘t act stupid
with me. When are you going to settle your marriage with Wendy? Wendy has been with you for six
years. A woman doesn‘t have that much time. Don‘t you feel bad for her?”

Wendy, who was at the side, was holding onto Melody‘s arm thoughtfully with a shallow smile on her
face. She was looking at Byron with some expectation in her eyes. In order to get a positive answer
from Byron, she had specially gone to Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence to press for the marriage.

She did not believe that Byron would still refuse her.

In the next second, however, Byron‘s answer once again shattered her anticipation.

“Mom, I‘ve been very busy recently. Not to mention, you‘ve also seen the situation with Estie.

She keeps running away from home recently, and her emotions are very unstable. I don‘t plan to think
about marriage for the time being.”

Melody frowned and exhorted with a maternal earnestness, “It‘s because of this that you need to hurry
up and finalize your marriage. Wouldn‘t it be good if Wendy can help you take care of Estie with you?
She has always treated Estie as her own over the years,”

“Mom!”



Byron cut Melody‘s words with a deep voice and said, “I‘ve said it. I don‘t plan to consider it for the time
being, and I‘ll be putting Estie‘s wishes first. Don‘t try to persuade me anymore!”

Seeing Byron looking so obviously impatient, Wendy‘s expression changed slightly, but she hurriedly
stepped in to mediate.

“It‘s alright, I‘m willing to wait. I‘ll wait till Estie accepts me completely.” Hearing this, Melody was visibly
moved. She patted Wendy‘s hand, her heart aching. She was such a good child, so affectionate and
gentle. Unfortunately, her son was reluctant to marry her…

Hearing the conversation between the adults, Estie frowned slightly. As if she wanted that bad woman
to be her mommy!
