Can‘t Stop Staring at Mommy
Soon, Rosalie returned with the first aid kit and carefully treated Estie‘s wounds.
Estie was very well–behaved the whole time. She only flinched slightly when it hurt before quickly
stretching her hand back out.
The sight made Rosalie‘s heart soften immensely.
After treating the wounds, Rosalie sat down directly beside Estie.
Lucian mindfully gave up his seat and carried his bowl with him to sit next to Byron. “Is it alright if I feed
you?” Rosalie asked for Estie‘s opinion.
Naturally, Estie did not refuse and nodded her head in anticipation. With a smile, Rosalie picked up her
bowl and fed the little girl. With the beautiful lady feeding her, Estie‘s appetite rapidly improved. She
stared at the beautiful lady‘s face eagerly, and no matter what she was fed with, she accepted it all with
her mouth wide open.
Seeing the little girl eating so well, Rosalie’s smile widened.
Byron sat on the other side, observing the interaction between the two.
Every time there was some food on the corner of Estie‘s lips, Rosalie would promptly wipe it off for her.
The speed at which she was feeding her was just right as well.
Estie ate it all with a bright smile on her face.
For a split second, there was a flash of mixed emotions in Byron‘s eyes.
Lucian and Nox were also observing the scene before them, but they only thought that Estie was eating
well and did not feel any jealousy toward her at all.
Withdrawing their gazes from the two girls, they looked at Byron in unison.
Then, they looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
If they were not mistaken, it seemed that Daddy would not stop staring at Mommy!
Moreover, the look in his eyes did not seem to harbor any hatred, just a little… uneasiness.
Lucian‘s brows furrowed. He put down his own cutlery, picked up the serving spoon, scooped some
vegetables into Byron‘s bowl, and gave him an innocent look. “Why aren‘t you eating, Mr. Byron? You
should eat more!”
Hearing this, Byron snapped back to his senses and reflexively thanked the little boy. “Thank you.”
The moment he finished speaking and glanced at the vegetables in his bowl, his face paled. It just so
happened that the vegetable Lucian had picked for him was celery. He glanced up and saw that the
celery was some distance away from Lucian. It seemed that
Lucian had especially scooped some just for him.
After telling Byron to eat more, Lucian buried his face in his bowl. He only stole glances at the man
beside him from the corners of his eyes.
He remembered that when he was investigating Daddy with Nox previously, they found out that
Daddy‘s least favorite vegetable was celery. He did not know why Daddy had abandoned Mommy, but
now, he was looking at Mommy with such a gaze. However, since he had once abandoned Mommy, he
must be punished. This little bit of celery was nothing! Byron gripped his cutlery in his hands and
looked at the little boy who had served him the vegetables. Aware of his gaze, Lucian raised his head
and looked straight at him, unwavering. Byron raised a brow. For some reason, he seemed to sense
some provocation in this little boy‘s eyes.
However, he could not figure out where this provocation was coming from, so he did not take it to heart.
“Do you not like celery, Mr. Byron?” Lucian looked at Byron innocently, lightly urging the other with his
words. Byron pursed his lips.
“That‘s not the case.” He placed the celery into his mouth, the expression on his face unchanging.
From an angle that Lucian could not see, a look of disgust crossed Byron‘s face, but he still managed
to swallow the celery down. When Rosalie saw Byron put the celery in his mouth, it was already too
late. She caught sight of the look of disgust on his face. In a trance, she felt as if she had returned to
six years ago.
“You don‘t have to eat it if you don‘t want to.” Rosalie averted her gaze and lowered her eyes to hide
the strange feeling in her heart. With a flat tone, Byron said, “It‘s not like I don‘t want to eat it.” A flurry
of emotions swirled in Rosalie‘s eyes, but she did not speak again.
