Chapter 216 Lit Up
Byron frowned, his thoughts inevitably wandering to that woman.
How had she managed to get Estie to slowly open up?
For once, he was at a complete loss. He had no idea how to do what she did.
“Do you want to see her that badly, Estie?” Byron noticed that Estie only reacted to questions about Rosalie, so he tried asking
again.
Estie nodded instantly and fervently, then she looked at him with anticipation written all over her face. She seemed to think he
could help her meet Rosalie.
Byron’s gaze dimmed at the hopeful look on Estie’s face. He silently looked away. “She really likes you, but she’s probably really
busy with work lately. She doesn’t have the time to pick up the boys, that’s all. Don’t worry.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was not the answer Estie wanted. She looked down in disappointment and nodded weakly.
After that, she would only nod or shake her head no matter what Byron said to her. Alternatively, she would rummage in her bag
for her notebook to write a reply.
She only reacted more actively whenever Rosalie was mentioned.
The more Byron tried to talk to her, the more helpless he felt.
After a while, he could not help but ask her, “Could you tell Daddy why you’re willing to talk at Auntie’s
place? What did Auntie do to
help you?”
It was not a question she could answer by nodding or shaking her head. Estie frowned, feeling
troubled.
The more she thought about her days spent at Auntie’s place, the more upset she looked.
She wanted to stay with the pretty auntie for a while longer...
Byron offered her some stationary. “If you don’t want to talk, write it down for Daddy.”
He could not allow her to keep staying silent, and with how frosty his relationship with Rosalie was right
now, he could not drop Estie off at her doorstep either. All he could do now was try to emulate Rosalie’s
methods.
Estie accepted the pencil and slowly wrote, “If I don’t talk, the boys will ignore me.”
Byron was stunned.
So the boys were the ones who got Estie to talk in the first place?
He had thought that Estie liked Rosalie, so she would relax and slowly begin to talk while she was with
Rosalie.
He had no idea that Rosalie’s boys had such a profound effect on her too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do you like Lucian and Nox?” Byron asked with a frown.
Estie nodded forcefully.
They had been kind to her since the moment they met. They even protected her at kindergarten.
Because of them, the other kids did not dare to bully her anymore. She was practically the princess of the kindergarten now!
Her eyes lit up at the mention of those boys.
Byron did not know how to feel about her reaction, either.
Then again, it would be much easier for him to put her in contact with the boys than it would be to send her to Rosalie’s place.
With that in mind, Byron said with some relief, “If you like them so much, we can ask Mrs. Zora to prepare more snacks for you.
You can bring them to school and share them with the boys.”
Estie tilted her head. She did not understand what her father was getting at.
He rubbed her head again. “Since they’re so kind to you, you should be nicer to them too. Play with them more, okay?”
Estie remembered how distant they had been lately, and she quickly nodded.
She was going to be nicer to them so they would play with her again!
