He Felt Like An Outsider
Byron stood at the door of the dining room and watched the scene unfurl. When he finally saw the little
girl smile, he had mixed emotions in his eyes. Unexpectedly, after coaxing her for so long, he could not
compare to what Rosalie and the boys.
Not only did Estie stop crying, but she also laughed.
A smile soon spread across her face as the two boys joked with her. When Byron saw that, he felt that
it was time to take Estie back.
They came here because Estie wanted to see the boys for herself. Now that she had confirmed what
she wanted to, it was time to go back.
As soon as he walked to Estie‘s side, he heard the little girl‘s stomach growl. Rosalie frowned slightly.
“Haven‘t you had dinner yet?” Estie pursed her lips and nodded.
Seeing this, Rosalie turned her head to give Byron a reproachful look. Byron looked at her impassively
and said, “I persuaded her, but she made a fuss all night long and even locked herself in her room. She
refused to eat or drink. Only when I promised to bring her over did she finally acquiesce. She didn‘t
manage to eat.”
Rosalie glanced at the thin shirt on the man and reluctantly looked away. On the side, Lucian looked at
Estie with concern. “We just started eating. Do you want to join us?”
Estie‘s eyes lit up as she nodded vigorously before she remembered that she had to seek her daddy‘s
approval. She looked at Byron expectantly.
Byron hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Rosalie. “If it‘s not too much trouble, could you get
her something to eat?”
“Why don‘t you sit in between the boys?” Rosalie directly suggested. A big smile appeared on Estie‘s
face. The two little guys immediately moved their chairs to the side to make room for the little girl.
Byron watched the little girl sit down between the twins and frowned unconsciously.
They looked like a family, but he felt like an outsider. Rosalie helped Estie settle down and heaped the
food onto her plate. She smiled when she saw the three children together. However, the gaze of the
person beside her gave her shivers down her back. Rosalie recomposed herself and turned to look at
Byron. Byron plastered on a look of indifference upon meeting her gaze.
“What about you?” Rosalie suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and asked casually. Hearing
this, Byron frowned slightly. He looked slightly bewildered at her question. Rosalie calmly looked away
and glanced at the food on the table.
“Have you eaten?” Since Estie had made a fuss and did not eat, he must have been busy coaxing her
to eat and was probably hungry too. . Byron froze for a moment and stared at her for a few seconds
before he said coolly, “I‘m fine. There‘s dinner at home. I can warm it up when I return, but I‘ll have to
trouble you as Estie enjoys the company of these two. I‘ll wait in the living room while you have your
meal. I won‘t get in the way.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the three children who got along very well. He turned around to
leave the dining room. Seeing that he was really going to go back hungry, Rosalie reluctantly pouted
and said, “There‘s no shortage of food for you here, and Estie may feel uneasy without her daddy
around.
Estie overheard their conversation and raised her head. Her eyes were a little anxious when she saw
that her daddy was going out. Rosalie did not wait for his response and proceeded to load his plate
generously.
“If you don‘t mind, sit down and eat together.” Lucian frowned slightly at this, but he did not say
anything in the end. On the other hand, Nox was holding his plate and eating from it. he cast a furtive
glance at the man with some expectations in his heart.
