Chapter 218 No Choice

"Is something the matter, President Lawrence?"

Rosalie stopped and looked at the man behind her detachedly, as though he was nothing more than a stranger.

Byron frowned deeply as he met her gaze.

Her attitude toward him was the reason why he reached out to her as she was moving away, surprising even himself.

It felt to him like she would truly vanish from his sight if he did not reach out to her.

He did not respond, so Rosalie tried to pull her wrist away with a frown. "If there isn't anything, please let go. I need to get to

work."

Both of them were very good-looking, and the parents who sent their children here were all prolific members of society as well.

Almost all of them knew who Byron was.

As such, Byron and Rosalie were already starting to attract some stares.

Rosalie was terrified that rumors would start circulating about them if they kept getting tangled up like

this.

That would cause her another boatload of trouble.

Byron noticed that she was struggling against his grip, so he let her go and looked at her with an

unreadable expression. "I talked to Estie yesterday, and she told me you put in a lot of effort to help

her. That's why she made such rapid progress. I thought I should thank you forthat."

What he said was an excuse to get her to stay, but it was also the truth.

At first he assumed that Estie would simply be happier when she was with Rosalie, but now he knew

that Rosalie did a lot more than he had thought.

She must have gone to a lot of trouble to get Estie to speak.

Rosalie said calmly, "No need to thank me. You've helped me quite a bit recently too. As I said, this

makes us even. Don't bother thanking me."

She nodded at him coolly and then tried to walk around him to get back to her car.

"If you won't accept my gratitude, maybe you can think of it as an olive branch," Byron said suddenly.

Rosalie stopped in her tracks. She had no idea what he meant.

Byron turned to look at the woman who had walked to his side.

Pursing his lips just as coolly, he said, "If I remember correctly, Miss Jacobs, you said that no matter

what happens between us, the children are innocent. Does that only apply to Lucian and Nox?"

Rosalie turned around and met his gaze. "What do you mean by that?"

Byron raised an eyebrow. "You know that Estie likes you, and she'll feel depressed if she can't see you. In the worst case

scenario, it could even exacerbate her condition. Even then, you keep avoiding her. Isn't she innocent too? You can avoid me all

you like, but you shouldn't avoid Estie."

Rosalie was a little taken aback.

She had wondered if Estie would feel upset if she stayed away, but then again she did not think she would matter that much to

the little girl. Besides, Byron would be there to take care of her.

Furthermore, Byron picked Estie up from school every day. If she did not avoid both of them, she would end up bumping into

Byron...

"Estie has been feeling very down because she hasn't seen you lately. As her father, I don't know you that well, so I have no

choice but to invite you out for a meal. Think of it as my way of thanking you for taking care of Estie. At the same time, I hope

you'll spend more time with her."

Byron's tone was distant and polite, but there was also an authority in them that brook no argument.

Rosalie had been starting to feel guilty toward Estie, but she frowned at his words. "You're too used to doing business, President

Lawrence. Not everything can be settled over a meal. If there isn't anything else, I'll be going to work now."
