Feeling Disappointed
Nox had initially wanted to say something, but hearing his brother‘s words, he suddenly became silent.
He had almost forgotten that Daddy was a bad guy. He should not pay attention to him!
Seeing that the two boys seemed a little unhappy, Byron frowned slightly. He knew he had asked an
inappropriate question and apologized, “I apologize. I didn‘t mean to bring up something that upset
you.” He said that but did not know how else to comfort them. He opened his mouth but did not say
anything Head down, Lucian pretended to be eating seriously.
“It doesn‘t matter. We‘re used to it anyway.” The atmosphere at the table was somewhat depressed for
a time. After eating in silence for a while, Nox could not help but look up at Byron. His eyes were red.
” Uncle, do you like children?” Byron could not help feeling stunned seeing the little boy‘s appearance.
As if talking to himself, Nox said, “I guess you do, right? I think you‘re very kind to Estie, so you
shouldn‘t hate children, right? But why don‘t you like us?” The boy was looking at Byron pathetically as
he said that.
Daddy clearly did not hate children. Why did he not want them? He could not stop himself from asking.
Hearing his brother‘s words, Lucian was also stirred. He knew what his brother was trying to ask and
hurriedly picked up some food for him. “Eat quickly. Weren‘t you very hungry?”
While he was also sad, he did not want to reveal it in front of the man.
Moreover, Mommy also did not want this man to know about their parentage. Nox was reminded by his
brother and said nothing more. He lowered his head and silently ate the food in his bowl. He did not
take any more food.
Byron could not answer the little one‘s question. He even found it strange and wondered where the
question came from.
The atmosphere at the table sank again.
The group did not speak again up until dinner was over.
Estie did not speak to begin with, but seeing both brothers dispirited, her mood also sank As the adult,
Byron tried coming up with a few conversation topics several times, but for some reason, he found it
hard to speak when faced with the two boys. After dinner, Byron sent them back to Rosalie’s house.
Rosalie had not returned yet. Mrs. Zora had been worrying and was relieved to see her young master
send the three children back. Byron did not leave immediately. He watched the children play in the
living room and chatted briefly with Mrs. Zora.
It was not until seven or eight o‘clock in the evening that Rosalie came in from outside.
The three children just looked at her strangely and did not welcome her as they usually did.
Seeing this, Rosalie could not help finding it a little strange. The children’s moods seemed somewhat
off from usual. Noticing that Byron was still there, she went over and asked, “What‘s the matter with
them? Were they bullied at school?”
Byron frowned slightly, and his gaze was a little apologetic.
“I mentioned their father when we were having dinner tonight and they became like this. I apologize. I
didn‘t mean to.” Hearing this, Rosalie could not help but be stunned. Her expression was somewhat
unpleasant. “Why did you ask them this question?” Byron recalled the reason why he asked that
question at that time but also felt inexplicable. He was speechless for a while.
Rosalie suppressed the fluster in her heart and coldly warned, “They‘ve never had a father since they
were kids. They also don‘t like other people talking about this. Please don‘t ask them questions about
their father in the future.”
