Chapter 586
My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball
Chapter 586 Just Working Partners Xander was also a well-known childe and frowned slightly when he heard Byron speaking to him in such a tone. He more or less felt some displeasure deep down.
However, since he was at the door of someone elseâs home, Xander still maintained his demeanor. He turned to look at Rosalie and asked her for her opinion.
Rosalie agreed that Byronâs tone was disrespectful, but she also knew that if things were to continue like this, Byron would only cross the line even more.
Aware of Xanderâs gaze, Rosalie said apologetically, â Thank you for sending me back, but it might not be convenient for you to come in and have a seat today. Iâll definitely thank you next time.â
After she said that, Byronâs brows raised slightly and he immediately reached his hand out to support her other arm.
Xander naturally respected her suggestion. Hearing this, he just nodded with a smile. âItâs nothing, since youâre injured, letâs just talk about the partnership over the phone for the time being.â
Rosalie responded gratefully.
Before leaving, Xander glanced over at Byron before saying to Rosalie, âIf you need any help, you can also contact me anytime.â
Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. âUnderstood. Take care on your journey back, Young Master Xander.â
To the side, Byron saw how friendly the two of them were with each other and his brows knitted together. His hand that was caressing hers also unconsciously tightened.
Rosalie felt pain and looked at him with a frown.
When she saw Byronâs expression, she felt that it was strange.
Xanderâs car slowly drove out of both their sight and soon disappeared.
Rosalie withdrew her gaze and took two steps to the side with difficulty, she looked at Byron with slight vigilance, âIs there something wrong, President Lawrence?â
Sensing her avoiding him, the creases between Byronâs brows deepened. âI came to deliver medicine to you, but I didnât expect you to have recovered so quickly. Itâs only been a day yet you can already walk around with your injury.â
After saying that, Byron glanced in the direction of Xanderâs departure again and sarcastically added, â
That said, Young Master Lancer must be special considering how you went to see him regardless of the pain.â
Rosalie heard his hostility toward Xander, and the strange feeling grew even more in her heart. âYoung Master Xander and I are just partners. We met today because we wanted to discuss the matters of our partnership. Please donât make random speculations!â
Byron replied, âThings had better be as you said.â 1 Seeing the sarcasm on the manâs face, there was a slight sting to Rosalieâs heart, and her expression sank. âI appreciate your kindness, President Lawrence, but I have all kinds of medicines here, so if thereâs nothing else, why donât you head back first?â
Rosalie did not give Byron the chance to reply after saying that before turning around and staggering toward the door of the villa.
Just as she took two steps, a big hand grabbed her arm from behind her.
Byronâs cold voice sounded in her ears. âIâll take you in.â
âNo need. Itâs just a few steps. I can do it myself,â Rosalie refused without hesitation.
She said that but felt that the hand on her arm was exerting a little more strength, revealing the manâs displeasure.
âXander can do it, but I canât?â Byron looked at the little womanâs back in front of him with a deep gaze.
â Didnât you say that you two are just partners?â
Rosalieâs body stiffened slightly as she looked back at the man behind her inexplicably, thinking that he was just mocking her as always.
The expression on Byronâs face was not fake.
He really thought that there was something between her and Xander.
Seeing this, Rosalieâs expression froze. In the end, she still compromised, âSorry to trouble you then, President Lawrence.â
