Chapter 1316 Why He Had To Apologize
After a long silence, Melody scowled. "Fine! You've made it so clear! It's me who's disturbing your family's peace,
huh? I'm leaving!"
She lifted her feet to head outside.
Suddenly, Byron stopped her. "Stay the night in the manor today. When Estie's mood recovers, I have something to
announce."
Melody paused, then looked back at her son suspiciously. "What is it?"
This was the first time that Byron asked her to stay overnight in the manor.
Melody felt that this must be a very important matter.
She recalled what her son said just now, that he would not mind giving up his position as president of Lawrence
Corporation. Melody's heart tensed for fear that he would really decide to give up on the family.

'It's all because of this woman that my son is so impulsive!’
Rosalie noticed her gaze and did not respond. She softly coaxed Estie who was in her arms.
"Think about it clearly. Is it worth it to give up Lawrence Corporation for such a woman?!"
Melody turned her head and looked at her son angrily.
Byron slightly sneered, knowing that his mother was afraid.
"I just said I have something to announce. It doesn’t mean it’s about our family business. You can rest assured." 1
Upon this, Melody's eyes flashed suspiciously. She looked at the woman standing in the living room, huffed coldly,
and strode upstairs.
In the living room, once Estie saw that Grandma and Mean Auntie were gone, her sobbing slowly stopped. She
looked at Rosalie with teary eyes.
Rosalie's heart broke as she looked at the little girl. "Estie darling,
Godmother will protect you from now on."
The little girl had suffered under Wendy's ’care’ for the past six years...
Everything Wendy said just now made Rosalie hate her even more.
'How could she have the heart to attack a little child who couldn't speak at that time?'
"I'm so sorry," Byron spoke up.
Rosalie looked up at him in puzzlement.
His eyes shifted from Rosalie by the sofa to Little Estie in her arms. He remembered what Estie said in tears just
now. Byron was filled with guilt and self-blame, and his footsteps weighed a ton.
He walked up to Estie and looked the little girl in the eye. "I’m sorry. I didn't take good care of you."
Estie sniffed, looked at him aggrievedly, and shook her head vigorously.
"In the past six years, you’ve never liked Wendy, and I never discovered the real reason..."
Byron's tone was remorseful.

fault. She's the worst!"
Before, she wanted to write to tell Daddy the truth, but Mean Auntie threatened her, saying that Daddy would
definitely not drive her away.
If she told Daddy about it, Mean Auntie would beat her harder next time.
Estie had no choice but to endure.
Now, it seemed that Mean Auntie was a liar!
Daddy not only drove Mean Auntie away, but he also severely punished her!
Byron kissed the little girl's little hand, then turned to look at Rosalie with self-blame on his face, Tm so sorry." 1
Rosalie frowned slightly, not knowing why he was apologizing to her.
However, as the man was deeply upset and blamed himself, Rosalie could not help but comfort him.
"For Wendy to stay by Estie's side like this for six years, it was indeed your responsibility. But Estie loves you so
much, which means that she thinks you're a good father who brought her a great sense of security. Those things
have passed. You’ve given Wendy the punishment she deserves, which is enough to make up for it."
