The venue Xander chose was a teahouse with a vintage atmosphere. It was a style the Lancer family liked most.When Rosalie arrived, Xander was already waiting for her inside. Upon seeing her, he beckoned her to approach him.Rosalie stepped into the place and sat down opposite him.This time, they sat in the corner, and there was a sandalwood-scented decoration by the table.Perhaps accustomed to the smell of traditional herbs, Rosalie felt strangely comfortable with the scent assailing her nostrils.She did not think much of it and took it as part of the vintage decorations in this teahouse.“I’m sorry that I’m late again.”After taking her seat, Rosalie apologized to Xander embarrassedly.The meeting was meant to apologize for the delay due to her absence, but unexpectedly, she was late.That was inappropriate.Xander smiled and did not seem to mind. He poured her a cup of tea and said, “It’s alright. This teahouse is quite far from your research institute, and I happened t

Unsure if it were her imagining things, she felt that Xander’s attitude toward her now differed from before.“I won’t regret it. Young Master Xander, if you still wish to cooperate with our research institute. I’ll do my best to cooperate.”She tried to put away her concern about Xander’s change in attitude and assured Xander with a smile.Xander lifted his teacup and said, “Let’s toast with tea instead of wine for our future cooperation in the new project.”Rosalie raised her cup and clinked it with his.After that, they briefly discussed the research project and decided on the starting time and the time when Lancer Corporation would provide the medicinal herbs of the agreed quantity to the research institute.By the time they had finished their discussion, it was evening.Rosalie excused herself and looked at the time. It was time for the kids to get off school.When Linda called to ask if she needed to pick up the kids from kindergarten, Rosalie refused her offer.She had b

Melody did not think she was doing anything wrong. She was only thinking on behalf of the Lawrence family. On the contrary, Byron was getting more and more insensible.Then, she looked at her son expectantly, hoping he would understand.Unexpectedly, Byron still looked at her indifferently and did not change his mind. “Most of Lawrence Corporation’s success today is because of me. So, it’s my choice to choose who I should distribute the assets.”As long as the boys were capable, he would not mind handing Lawrence Corporation to them.Melody could barely catch her breath upon hearing this.“Moreover, they’re so young. Don’t you think it’s too early to worry about this now?” Byron glanced at his mother.Melody wanted to continue to persuade Byron, but he interrupted her. “As for you, you’re getting old and don’t have to meddle with all these anymore. I can deal with my own matters. If you have so much leisure time, why don’t you go on a trip with Dad? It would be good for your heal

Benedict was puzzled. “Why? You’re Estie’s grandmother. Why wouldn’t she let you visit Estie? Is there any misunderstanding between you and her?”Melody sighed sadly. “What misunderstanding can there be? She has had a grudge against me since she left six years ago. After she returned, I tried to get Wendy to marry Byron and restricted her from meeting Byron. I guess she hates me because of that.”With that, she lowered her head and leaned her upper body on Benedict’s arm as if she had been suffering from grievances.“She hasn’t got back together with Byron, yet she’s already treating me like this. What should I do if she marries Byron one day? Will she stop me from visiting my son and granddaughter?”Benedict knew nothing about the previous conflicts between the two.His first reaction was to try to settle the problem upon hearing his wife’s words.“There must have been a misunderstanding between you two. Just talk it out.”He believed his son would never fall for a woman who wa

Rosalie took the plates and cutlery to the kitchen. She thought the matter was serious and wanted to talk to Byron about it in her study.Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Byron standing outside the kitchen, folding his sleeves.Before she realized what he was up to, he was already in the kitchen, lookng like he was in his house. He took the plates she had washed and wiped them.Rosalie was startled to see him do house chores.That gave her the illusion that they were a married couple who had lived together for years.Moreover, seeing President Lawrence doing household chores in the kitchen was unbelievable.It shocked her to see that.Byron casually stated his intention to visit her, “My dad said he wants to pick Estie up from kindergarten tomorrow.”Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts and said, “You…”She remembered Byron had told her that if his parents wanted to meet Estelle, they had to ask for his permission.Byron said, “I agreed to his request. He seems to
