She Doesn‘t Need Your Gratitude
Hearing him mention their mommy, the two boys were instantly on their guards.
“Why are you looking for my mommy?!” Lucian stared at the man not far away alertly like a little dog
that would attack anytime.
Obviously, he had no attacking power, but he still had to put on a fierce appearance.
Byron was deeply aware of the little guy‘s hostility, and when he saw his alert appearance, he found it
strange but also funny. He did not take it seriously. He just said, “You‘ve taken care of Estie these two
times. I need to offer my gratitude in person.”
Hearing this, Lucian breathed a sigh of relief internally, but his small face was still taut. “No need. My
mommy went to make a call, and she doesn‘t need your thanks.”
With that, he dragged Nox back to the carpet. He bowed his head and said to Estie, “Since your daddy
has come to pick you up, you can go back with him. Mommy has to go out to work in a while and won‘t
have the time to accompany you.”
Estie was still immersed in the joy of the brothers speaking up for her. When she heard this, she slowly
came to her senses. Although she was reluctant, she nodded sensibly when she heard that the
beautiful lady still had to work. From the moment the man brought his mommy up, Lucian became very
vigilant toward him. He did not want this man to see his mommy at all.
Seeing that the little girl had agreed to leave with the man, Lucian hurriedly pulled Nox before they
crouched down and began to tidy up the Lego blocks. Byron noted that Estie had agreed to go back
with him and stopped pressing them, letting them clean up. After watching them for a bit, he found it a
little strange. When the three little ones huddled together, they looked somewhat similar in height.
On second thought, they were also in the same class in kindergarten.
In other words, their ages were not very different.
However, calculating the time, even if the woman had remarried immediately after giving birth to Estie
that year and then became pregnant and gave birth to these twins, there should still be some gap
between Estie and them. Could it be that… boys grew faster? However, Rosalie had put them in the
same class as Estie. Was this also a coincidence?
Byron‘s heart was full of doubts.
He could not come up with an answer for a long time. Slowly retracting his gaze from the three, he
looked at the immediate environment with a bored look.
Although it was only a temporary rental place, Rosalie had still decorated the villa somewhat
thoughtfully.
At this moment, what caught Byron‘s eyes was the warm and tidy scene. Looking carefully, he could
also see picture frames in many places.
Byron‘s eyes were slowly attracted to those picture frames. He walked to the picture frames and looked
at them carefully. After looking at them for a while, Byron‘s brows furrowed slightly. Without exception,
only Rosalie and her two children‘s figures were in the series of photos. Although the three were
smiling very warmly, Byron kept feeling that there was something wrong. There was not even a figure
of the children’s father to be seen in these photos.
Perhaps… he was the one who took those photos? There were so many photos, though. Did he not
reveal his face at all? Just when Byron was confused, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the stairs.
Byron came back to his senses suddenly. He put down the photo frame he was holding in his hand,
then turned around and walked to the carpet as if nothing had happened. On the stairs, Rosalie‘s steps
were hurried. She was almost trotting down the stairs, her face filled with panic.
