Chapter 2001 Undeserving Of This
Despite Byron's explanation, Mary was still indignant.
Back in school, the seeds of innocence grew and blossomed with expectations as Rosalie stepped into a marriage with the man, but all she got was bitterness.
"President Lawrence, you're still so full of yourself!" Mary blurted her conclusion and threw Byron a death stare.
Byron immediately looked embarrassed, while Rosalie smiled faintly.
The past was the past, after all!
Rosalie's state of mind was no longer what it used to be. She was grateful because although it was a long wait, all the wishes she wrote down came true.
Her right hand slowly covered her belly. A new hope was growing in her womb.
The rough bumps that the three little ones experienced would never happen for this child.
Byron seemed to reflect as well. He finally nodded and said, "It was my fault indeed. Ten years ago, I was exhausted from the struggles and battles in the industry. My perspective was rigid, and I was bounded by rules at that time!"
His confession quelled Mary’s anger a little.
Andrius tugged at Mary, and Byron noticed the little gestures between them.
Immediately, he turned to look at his wife, seeking clarification.
Rosalie gave an affirmative look. She had not had the time to tell her husband about Andrius' successful confession to Mary last night.
Immediately, Byron had a look of understanding, and a smile appeared.
"Andrius, it's almost noon, so stay and have a meal together! " Byron said.
Andrius was about to nod habitually in agreement, but he saw Mary hinting with her eyes and quickly declined." Buddy, I can’t. I've made an appointment with Mary. We’re taking Mrs. Wilson out to a steakhouse."
"Oh, sounds fun!"
Sure enough, Andrius finally knew how to say no after having a girlfriend. Byron was happy about this.
After the young couple left, Rosalie told Byron about Andrius ' miraculous gesture last night.
Byron was so surprised he exclaimed, "I never expected Andrius to pull off such an interesting move. That’s rather romantic. He's way better than me!"
Rosalie glanced at her husband quietly. His side profile had been embedded in her mind since she was 15 years old.
