Chapter 84 Didn’t Wanna Talk To Anyone Now
By the time Byron brought Estie back, it was almost ten o‘clock at night. They saw the housekeeper waiting at the door the moment they got out of the car. “Master, Miss Fuller is here. She‘s waiting in the house.” Byron’s brows furrowed together slightly as he nodded his head. He brought Estie into the house.
“You‘re back!”
Wendy was seated on the couch. As soon as she saw the two walk through the door, she got up
immediately to welcome them back. She squatted down and tried to pat Estie’s head when Estie avoided her hand.
A trace of displeasure flashed through Wendy‘s eyes, but she covered it up quickly as she got up again with a smile. “Yes?” Byron threw a glance at Wendy and asked coldly. Wendy smiled nonchalantly as she spoke, “Thank you for sending someone over today to help us out. It was of great help to us, so my dad insisted that I came over to thank you properly.” When she was done speaking, she wanted to continue when Byron cut her off, “Things are settled?”
Wendy was shocked and silent for a few seconds before mustering up her smile again to nod.” Yeah, since it was a little complicated, it took all afternoon to settle. I don‘t know if it‘ll impact work progress on your end.”
Byron nodded. “We have a lot of people like that in Lawrence Corporation. Work progress won’t be stalled because of one person, so don‘t mention it.” As soon as he was done, he held Estie‘s hand and walked past Wendy.
Wendy saw that both of them were passing her by again, and her face contorted for a short while. After coming back to her senses, she gushed over them once more.
“No matter what you say, you’ve helped me settle a huge problem. I don‘t know what you need, so I didn‘t get you anything. I only got Estie a little toy that isn‘t very expensive as a token of my appreciation.” As she spoke, she drew out a limited edition doll from a bag on the couch. The toy was very exquisitely packaged and clearly in the same line of the collection as the dolls in Estie‘s room.
Byron knew that his little girl liked these things, so he intended to slow down to see if she would accept it.
However, Estie did not even bat an eyelid as she grabbed his hand and leaned on him. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Byron understood her, so he looked up at Wendy to politely reject her. “Thank you, but she already has this. Also, she was upset with me just now, so she doesn‘t wanna talk to anyone now.”
Wendy froze for a little and forcibly tried to put on a smile as she kept her gift. She looked caringly at Estie and asked Byron, “Why was she upset this time?”
Since she had a few unpleasant interactions with Estie before this, Wendy did not pursue her intention. She was also afraid that Byron would catch on, so she could only ask Byron such things.
Byron was curt. “Small matters.”
He retracted his gaze immediately after that.
It was clear that he did not want to tell her any details.
Either that, or he felt like she had no right to know of it.
Wendy, with the gift in her hand, balled her fist tightly with her nails cutting into her flesh. She maintained a forced smile. “Oh, really? You guys are back so late. Is it because you brought her out so that she would feel better?”
Byron frowned and coldly replied, “It‘s getting late. Do you still have business here? If you don‘t, do get going. Estie needs to rest.” Wendy opened her mouth, but she could not think of any excuses to stay at that moment.
All she could do was watch longingly as Byron and Estie held hands and brushed past her to go upstairs, When Wendy left the residence, her face was clearly distorted. Her bodyguard, who was also her driver, saw her facial expression and felt his heart constrict. He asked her warily, “Miss, do we go back now?” Wendy glared at him.
“Go find out where Byron brought that little b*tch just now!” With a tremble, the bodyguard replied affirmatively.
