Chapter 258 Don’t Like Auntie
At the mention of Byron’s marriage with Wendy, Rosalie lowered her gaze slightly. She swallowed the excuse in her mouth and answered faintly, “Thank you for reminding me. I’ll pay attention.”
The woman thought she had made her point. This way, she could butter up to Wendy when she became Mrs. Lawrence in the future. Thinking of this, the woman glanced at Rosalie condescendingly. “It’s good if you know. How can you be worthy of President Lawrence?”
The two had been talking for some time. Estie had waited very long yet did not see Aunt coming to get her. She looked out from behind the tree and saw a woman standing in front of Aunt fiercely. She thought she was bullying Aunt and ran out on her little legs hurriedly. “Lady, don’t bully Aunt!” The little girl hugged Rosalie’s leg and glared at the woman opposite her with the childlike ferocity of a cat with its fur on end.
Seeing the little girl who had suddenly appeared, the woman was stunned. She then quickly switched to a smiling expression before crouching down and stretching out her hand to touch Estie’s head. “Aren’t you Little Lady Lawrence? You’re very cute.”
Estie was shy around strangers because of her speech issues. Seeing the strange lady trying to touch her now, she waved her hand away and looked at her vigilantly.
Rejected by the little girl, the smile on the woman’s face froze, especially because she knew that the little girl was so close to Rosalie. She still did not give up trying to curry favor with the child. “Don’t be afraid. I don’t mean any harm. it’s just because you look cute.”
With that, she stretched her hand out toward Estie again.
There was panic in Estie’s eyes as she hugged Rosalie’s leg and hid behind her.
Seeing this, Rosalie frowned slightly and stepped between the little girl and the woman.” Children are afraid of strangers. If you really like Estie, you’d better keep a distance from her.”
Rejected by Estie again and again and then hearing Rosalie’s words, the woman stood back up with a foul expression. “I can be considered acquaintances with Miss Fuller. Estie will be Miss Fuller’s daughter in the future. What does me wanting to get close to Estie have anything to do with you?”
