Chapter 202 We Should Give Her An Explanation Seeing that it was time for the kids in kindergarten to
be out of school, Byron slowly put away his thoughts and drove to the kindergarten. According to Estie‘s
usual practice, he would probably bump into that woman at the kindergarten as well.
When he arrived at the kindergarten, even though he was not that late, that woman and the two little
fellas had already left.
Estie had already gotten used to waiting for her daddy with the two boys, but now, she was left alone,
clutching onto Miss Leigh Ann‘s hand timidly. “Mr. Lawrence, you‘re here.” Miss Leigh Ann knew about
Estie, so she was also careful with her. When she saw that Byron had arrived, she breathed a secret
sigh of relief. Byron nodded as he took Estie over from her hand.
Even after entering the car, Estie‘s mood was still not as lifted. Byron frowned. He could not help but ask,

voice a little sulky as she said, “Aunt took Lu and No away with her.” When Byron heard it, his eyes
darkened. Even though that woman was avoiding him like a plague, he knew that that woman was often
tender–hearted toward Estie. If Estie had seen her, it was impossible for her to just leave like that. For
that woman to behave so unusually today, it could only be because she had seen that news article.
She was avoiding him because of that article?
When Byron thought of this, he became unreasonably unhappy. The atmosphere in the car was gloomy
the entire journey. When they were home, Byron‘s face darkened further when he saw the person sitting
in the living room. “Mother, why are you here?”
Melody had just left the cafe in the afternoon and wanted to go straight to the office to have a chat with
her son. However, after thinking it through, she decided that she did not want to disturb his work. Hence,
she turned around to go to the residence and waited for him to come home.
She had waited for him for an entire afternoon, but she did not expect her son to come in with an attitude
like that.
Melody‘s already bad mood worsened. “What? Do you mean that I shouldn‘t have come? Were
you hoping for me not to come over forever so you could keep us in the dark and marry that Jacobs girl
into our family?” After hearing what was said, Byron‘s face fell completely. He asked for Mrs. Zora. “Bring
Estie up.” Mrs. Zora could sense the tension between both of them and did not dare delay one bit as she
ushered Estie up the stairs hastily. Estie was dragging her feet. She might have just heard Grandma talk
about the beautiful aunt. Was Daddy going to marry the beautiful aunt? However, the news clearly said
that Daddy was going to marry that mean lady... The little girl was confused, but she felt that if Daddy
were to really marry the beautiful Aunt, that would be great! Downstairs, Byron sat down on the single–

wanna start explaining yourself?” Melody tried to suppress her anger as she spat out the words. As soon
as she was done, she saw her son looking straight into her eyes cold and aloofly. Both gazes collided,
and Melody felt an odd sense of suppression that made her recoil her superiority.
Byron was sarcastic. “Don‘t you have something to explain about the leaked news concerning mine and
Wendy‘s intent to marry? You never asked for my opinion on that.”
He had always known that his mother wanted him and Wendy to get together, but he did not expect her
to go to such great lengths. When that piece of news got out, Byron had a revelation that he could no
longer remain silent about it.
Melody‘s breath was caught in her throat, and her expression changed. She was a little guilty, but she
still gritted her teeth as she said, “The wedding arrangement between you and Wendy was set so many
years ago. It‘s bound to happen sooner or later. All I did was announce it for you two earlier. Besides,
you humiliated Wendy so much at Old Master Quirke‘s birthday banquet, so we should give her an
explanation.”
