Chapter 96 The Age Difference Of The Kids
Just when she started taking care of Estie, the phone in her bag rang. Rosalie Jacobs instinctively covered the little girl‘s ears afraid of waking her up. She was about to get her bag but noticed that the man had already stood up and brought her mobile phone.
“Thank you,” Rosalie whispered. She glanced at the caller ID and felt vexed. She was so preoccupied with the little one in her arms and actually forgotten about the two boys at home.
“Mommy!” As soon as the call was connected, the voices of the twins rang out, “When are you coming back?” Rosalie lowered her voice, “There is a delay tonight, I will be late tonight. Now, have you had dinner?‘
The two little boys sounded very concerned, “We‘ve eaten, how about you, Mommy? Don‘t just think about work, you have to take care of yourself too!”
Rosalie‘s heart was moved by their concern. She smiled, “Don‘t worry, I‘ve eaten too. Don‘t wait for me, go rest early.”
“Alright, Mommy. Come back early, don‘t exhaust yourself too much!” The twins affectionately agreed, their voices like cotton candy. Rosalie had a few more motherly exchanges with the boys before hanging up. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
On the side, Byron Lawrence vaguely heard the voices of the twins as he put aside his work. The man looked at Rosalie and wanted to ask her if she needed to go back to take care of the two little boys. When he attempted to speak, her soft eyes made him change his tone.
“If you‘re usually busy, what about the two of them? Are you at home, or have you got someone else to take care of them?” Rosalie nodded, “My friend will help take care of them, and now we also have
Lisa.”
Byron relented, “What about when you were abroad?”
Rosalie did not know why he was obsessed with this question, but she answered, “I also found someone to take care of them. Otherwise, I‘ll take them to my workplace, all my colleagues adore them anyway.”
After the exchange, the living room fell silent again. Rosalie Jacobs lowered her eyes and continued to check on the sleeping little girl.
“The boys have grown so much now, it‘s easy to take care of them. It wasn‘t always this easy when they were younger, right?” Byron spoke suddenly. His eyes fell heavily on her and asked unintentionally, “How old are the two of them this year? They seem to be about the same height as Estie, they should be about the same age.”
This sudden question made Rosalie‘s heart tense.
Every time Byron hung around the two little boys, she would worry about what he would find out. For this reason, she also warned the twins to not let anything slip. She never thought that he would be so forthcoming to ask her this. Rosalie lowered her eyes and took a breather for a moment before she calmly replied, “They are four years old, it‘s normal for boys to grow up a little faster.”
This was the answer she had discussed with Lucian and Nox before in order to avoid Byron‘s suspicions. The age of the two little boys would most definitely remind him of that night six years ago Rosalie waited anxiously for the man‘s response. After seemingly forever, she heard the man acknowledge with a deep “Um”.
Seeing that he didn‘t ask any more questions, Rosalie Jacobs breathed a sigh of relief. Byron narrowed his eyes to look at the work email on his phone, but he couldn‘t concentrate.
The two little boys were four years old, only a year younger than Estie. This means, that after the woman gave birth to Estie, she was with other men and gave birth to the two little boys. As he connected the dots, Byron‘s deep features turned cold, and his heart felt uneasy. Just when the two had different thoughts, little Estie in Rosalie‘s arms suddenly moved. Rosalie Jacobs looked down immediately, only to see the little girl‘s delicate brows frowned, then her little face wrinkled into a ball as she wept pitifully.
