Byron frowned and cast a cold glance at his mother.
"Mom, that was an accident. What are you talking about?"
"Yes, yes, it was an accident. However, you were neglectful enough to let your children go on stage to perform with animals. That's so dangerous. In my honest opinion, Rosalie isn't careful enough when taking care of the children."
Byron became angry when his mother was adamant about blaming the woman for everything.
"Mom, did you come to visit me? Or did you come as an executioner to cast judgment over what happened? If you continue to behave like this, it's best if you don’t come here at all!"
Melody was silenced immediately.
She did not expect her son to be so harsh to her.
She was stunned for a few seconds. She wanted to get angry but held back. "Okay, I won't talk about it. However, I've been thinking about the two boys for the past two days. Can I raise my concerns? Can Rosalie come up with evidence?"
Melody put on a calm tone.
Byron had no way to escape this. Even if everyone in the immediate family accepted the boys, the extended branch of the Lawrence family would not be able to believe the claims.
He nodded and agreed after some consideration. "Okay, let's do a thorough paternity test to convince everyone."
Melody's wish was fulfilled, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
She truly did not believe the claims and decided that it was all Rosalie’s trickery.
Byron gave the excuse that he was still exhausted and needed rest to finally persuade his mother to leave.
He put some distance between himself and the kids when they woke up. He explained to them about his illness and reminded them not to get too close.
"Mommy didn't sleep last night to take care of me. She's sleeping now, so you must keep the volume down and don't make a lot of noise. Lucian, you have to take good care of your younger brother and sister."
