Wouldn’t Know How to Compensate They made it back to her manor. As Rosalie was about to help Mary out of the car, the man in front of them suddenly spoke up.
“If you’re worried about the kids, why did you go to a place like that?” His expression in the rearview mirror was slightly cold.
Rosalie paused and said, “You make it sound like going to a bar is highly immoral, President Lawrence. Weren’t you there too?”
Byron said, “I was there for work, Miss Jacobs. Unlike you, I wasn’t surrounded by such pleasurable company.” He was not hiding his hostility at all. Rosalie could not help but frown, recalling his words earlier at the bar.
“You’re a mother of two now, so I advise you to stay away from such vices. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, what about your children? If they knew their mother had gone to a. place like that, having a good time with men she barely knew, I wonder what they would think,” Byron said softly.
This was not their first time discussing this topic.
Maybe it was the wine, but Rosalie could not keep her temper in check this time. She retorted, “Considering our relationship, President Lawrence, don’t you think you’re crossing the line? Even if I have two kids, the fact remains that I’m single right now. I was having a nice drink with some other men, and we’re all consenting adults here. What’s so wrong with that?”
Byron could hear the provocation in her words. His frown deepened and he was about to argue back, but he could not figure out what to say. She was right. Even if she had two children, she was still single right now.
Considering their relationship, it was also true that he had no right to interfere in her private lile,
Even so, seeing her with another man ticked him off.
Byron was silent for a few seconds before he said in a low voice, “Are you planning to find the boys a father in such a place? Are you sure that’s wise?”
Rosalie laughed, “I won’t know until I try. If you’re going to jump in and interfere every time, there’s no way I can tell for sure, is there? But if you’re so worried about me, why don’t you introduce me to someone?”
“Rosalie Jacobs!” Anger flared in his eyes.
She looked away listlessly. “If you won’t help me, President Lawrence, then at the very least, I hope you won’t get in my way from now on.”
With that, she opened the door and slowly helped Mary out of the car
Through the rearview mirror, Byron saw her struggling up the steps. He frowned and opened the door, getting out to help her
Rosalie sensed his intentions but evaded him, her expression distant as she looked right at him. “You were right about one thing, President Lawrence. We should be careful who we flirt with. I won’t go for married men, so you should keep your distance with me now that you’re engaged, President Lawrence.”
Her words had a visible effect on him.
Her tone only grew colder. “If Miss Fuller and Estie misunderstood us, it would affect your future family’s happiness, President Lawrence. If that happened, I wouldn’t know how to compensate for myCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
sins.” Wendy implied that she had gotten between them once already, six years ago.
This time, Rosalie was steering clear of this mess. Byron saw how firmly she rejected him. His expression was cold as ice, and he emanated a terrifying aura. Rosalie did not seem to notice anything, though. She simply took Mary and turned back into the house.
