Chapter 80

There‘s No Way He‘d Fall for It

Seeing Daddy eat the food from his brother, Nox‘s eyes lit up. He tentatively gave Daddy a spoonful of
food too.

He did not think too much about it. He just scooped some food from the plate in front of him, then
stared at the older man expectantly. Byron noticed that the other little boy was getting some food and
thought the boy was going to make him suffer too, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw that
the boy had just grabbed some food from a random dish nearby. After coming back to his senses, he
smiled at the boy.

“Thank you. You should eat some more too.”

After saying that, he also served some food to the boy. He still remembered the dishes that the little
boy had previously mentioned he did not like eating and deliberately avoided them. Nox‘s eyes
widened in surprise.

“Thank you, Mr. Byron! I will!” Daddy actually served some food to him! Observing the interaction
between the two, Lucian pouted in disdain.

Nox, this idiot! How could he not see through such an obvious attempt of trying to win him over?!

There was no way he would not fall for it!

After an awkward dinner, Rosalie got up to clear the table.

Out of courtesy, Byron silently helped her with clearing the tableware. His movements were hesitant as
he did not know what he should do next.

Logically speaking, now that dinner was over, he should be heading home with Estie.



However, he did end up bothering them, so it did not feel right for him to just leave like that.

Sensing his predicament, Rosalie calmly said, “I can handle it myself. Please go out and help watch
over the children.”

Byron nodded, then headed to the living room.

Estie was huddled with the two boys as they assembled the Lego set they had built the last time.

The three kids had already assembled one of the sections, but the area that said section was to be fit
into was slightly out of reach for them. Usually, Lucian and Nox would assemble the segments, then
Rosalie would help them fit them into place.

Now that Rosalie was washing the dishes, the three kids were trying to figure out how to do it on their
own.

Lucian looked around, then decided to go to the dining room to grab a chair. Byron happened to walk
out just then. Seeing the kids‘ struggle, he tried to soften his expression. He stretched his hand out
toward Lucian. “Give it to me.”

Lucian hesitated for a few seconds, then placed the assembled section into the older man‘s large hand.

Byron took it, then assembled the section according to instructions from the kids. “Thank you,” Lucian
thanked him reluctantly. Byron raised a brow lightly, then nodded noncommittally. Standing to one side
with a hand in his pocket, he watched the three kids happily assembling the Lego blocks. He would
occasionally step in to help them.

In the kitchen, Rosalie was absent–mindedly washing the dishes, her attention constantly on the group
outside. She even felt slightly bad. She should not have kept Byron for so long and should have let
them leave once they were done with dinner. Lucian and Nox had said all those things to Byron when



they confronted him previously. Now that she let them all be together alone again, Rosalie just could
not help feeling restless.

Especially as she observed the scene outside and saw that they were getting along fairly well. Rosalie
was more worried that the two boys would say something that they should not. If Byron found out that
the two of them were his children… Rosalie felt panic rise up in her heart.

She feared that Byron might take them away from her. In her current position, it would be too easy for
Byron to snatch the two boys away from her. She did not even dare to imagine what she would feel at
that time, and even less so of what would become of the two boys if they were to leave her…

The more Rosalie thought about it, the more terrified she felt.

Before she realized it, the bowl in her hand slipped to the floor, and by the time she finally snapped out
of it, all she heard was the crash of broken glass. Startled, the four in the living room turned to the
kitchen in unison.
