Chapter 159 A Lovely Couple Hearing his mother suddenly mention Byron‘s marriage to Wendy, Andrius looked at Rosalie who was silent at the side again.

Rosalie‘s features were drooping slightly in a way that others were unable to see her emotions.

However, the corners of her lips were still slightly upturned.

For a while, he could not guess what Rosalie was thinking.

To the side, Andrea had constantly been paying attention to Rosalie. She did not miss the turbulence that flashed across Rosalie‘s face when her mother mentioned Byron‘s marriage.

Noting the fluctuations in Rosalie‘s mood, Andrea became more and more excited. She echoed her mother‘s words, “That‘s right, Byron and Wendy are a perfect couple. Even though they haven‘t held the banquet, who hasn‘t been treating them as if they‘re family all these years?” With that, she glanced at Rosalie loftily. Melody already had this in her mind. Hearing them mention this, she responded with a smile, “This matter has really been delayed for a long time. Our two families have also recently been planning to put their engagement on the agenda. We should be sitting down and talking about it in two days.”

Andrea wanted to fan the flames more when Byron‘s voice stiffly intervened.

“Old Man Quirke, it‘s your birthday banquet today. I don‘t think you should talk about me.”

Hearing this, Old Master Quirke was stunned for a moment before looking at Byron and Wendy. He just thought that the two youngsters were embarrassed. He smiled and nodded before diverting the conversation to something else. It would rude for the others younger than him to bring it up again too.

Rosalie had no reason to feel her heart beat slower, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next topic had nothing to do with her, which made her feel out of place. After listening to the conversation for a while, Rosalie was becoming somewhat impatient and wanted to find a place to hide and relax. “Old Master, I‘m a little tired. If there‘s nothing else, I‘m going to go get some rest.”

Taking advantage of the gap between their conversation, Rosalie quietly inserted. After she said that, Old Master Quirke looked over at her with concern. “What‘s the matter? Is something wrong?” Rosalie smiled shyly. “It‘s nothing. I‘ve been wearing high heels for a long time and my feet are tired. I want to sit down for a while.” Seeing that she was not feeling ill, the old master did not keep her any longer. He nodded and let her go.

Rosalie politely bade the crowd goodbye and turned toward a corner. She could still feel the man‘s eyes following her after she turned around.

Rosalie‘s body unconsciously constricted as she quickened her pace. “Old Man Quirke, I‘ll be going over first.”

Byron watched the woman sit down on the sofa in the corner. There were many gazes flitting about her body, and his own gaze sunk slightly.

Old Master Quirke was confused. “Where are you rushing off to?”

Considering the Lawrence family‘s status and the famous families who came to the birthday banquet today, only they were in the position to come and greet Byron. There was no reason for Byron to greet someone of his own accord.

Hence, all Byron needed to do was to stand here.

Byron frowned. For a moment, he was unable to come up with a reason.

Melody, on the other hand, saw through his thoughts and knew that he was hurrying to go look for Rosalie. She was unhappy. She grabbed his arm and smiled appropriately. “There are several elders over there who have also cooperated with our family. Since you‘re here, you should go and say hello to them.” Byron followed her gaze and did see several elders who were friends with the Lawrence family.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he agreed.

Melody winked at Wendy. Wendy took the hint and said, “They‘re all elders I know. I was just thinking of heading over to greet them too!” With that, she smiled and followed Byron. Byron frowned. There was no excuse to drive her away, so he could only acquiesce to her following him. To the eyes of the outsiders, they were a lovely couple.
