Chapter 144 Why Are You The One Who Came To Get Us?

Looking at the disconnected call, Rosalie hesitated for a moment but still put her phone away and continued with the research. It just so happened that her research also required a little more time, so it was great that Byron could go and get them.

In the small playground of the kindergarten, three children were sitting on benches with their school bags on their backs. Lucian and Nox had long gotten used to their mommy forgetting them due to her busy work and were sitting upright. They looked up occasionally to chat with Miss Leigh Ann.

Estie was sandwiched between them. She was still a little anxious, but when she saw the little brothers like this, she slowly turned her attention toward them. She cradled her small face as she listened attentively to the brothers‘ conversation with interest.

No one even noticed when Byron arrived.

Byron felt his heart warm a little when he saw the three of them sitting in a row and unconsciously quickened his pace.

“President Lawrence,” Miss Leigh Ann greeted politely when she saw him coming.

Only then did the three children raise their gazes to look over. A touch of exasperation flashed through their eyes when they saw who had arrived.

Byron saw the change in emotion in all three of their eyes and raised a brow. He made no comment and just said to Miss Leigh Ann, “My apologies, I was a little busy at work. I‘ll also be picking up Lucian and Nox.” Knowing that these three had been together these two days, she handed them over to him without asking any more questions and left.

The three children were still sitting on the bench unmoving.

Byron looked at them a little funny. “You guys still want to sit here for a bit?”

Nox shook his head subconsciously. He did not want to sit here anymore. It was cold, the bench was hard, he was hungry, and his schoolbag was heavy...

Lucian looked at him seriously. “Where‘s my mommy? Why are you the one who came to pick us up?”

Estie was also waiting for her daddy to answer. “She‘s not done with work yet. She‘s still at the research institute, and it‘ll be late by the time she comes. I‘ll take you all to dinner first,” Byron explained briefly. “You lot must be hungry, no? Come with me.”

Hearing this, Lucian still had some hesitation. Nox was famished. Since it was hard to spend time with their daddy, he was eager to try.

Not hearing his brother‘s answer for a long time, he was also silent. He just looked at his brother eagerly to express his wishes.

Estie was also used to eating with her daddy, so when she heard that Daddy wanted to take them to dinner, she did not resist. She just wanted to be with the two little brothers, so when she saw that they were unmoving, she also quietly sat where she was.

Lucian noticed his brother‘s expectant gaze and hesitated for a bit before finally agreeing, He took the lead in getting off the bench. Nox and Estie followed him like two followers.

Even though no one said anything, Byron also knew that the three children had agreed to go . to dinner with him. He turned around to lead the way.

The four of them got into the car. Byron was driving, and the three children were sitting in the back row in a proper manner. “I don‘t know what you guys like to eat, so I immediately made the decision to take you guys to a restaurant that Estelle likes very much.” Byron had immediately made the decision.

Nox answered without thinking. “I’m fine with it!” The moment he said that, Lucian yanked him and he shut his mouth embarrassedly. Byron did not say anything else either. He just brought the kids straight to the restaurant. The place was antique–looking as well as very high–end. Since Lucian and Nox had been living abroad, they rarely saw such kind of decor. They looked around them curiously after taking their seats.

Byron noted both their curious appearances, and there was warmth in his eyes. “What do you feel like having?”
