Chapter 134 Cannot Be With Him At the same time, Lawrence Mansion. Melody and Benedict were
ready to go to sleep when they suddenly heard the doorbell ringing loudly. They hurried to open the door.
The moment they opened the door, they saw Henry and Magdalene Fuller standing there with apologetic
expressions. Wendy was behind them with red eyes.
“What‘s the matter?” Melody asked, puzzled when she saw their appearances.
Magdalene turned to stare at Wendy. Wendy‘s eyes were red, and her face was filled with remorse. Even
her voice was a little hoarse, “Aunt Melody, I‘m here to apologize.” Melody was even more puzzled when
she heard this. She invited all three of them in to sit down on the sofa and asked someone to pour them

lowered her head, not daring to look at her. “Yesterday morning, you persuaded Estelle to get into my
car. I thought Estie would get into the car obediently and I‘d send her to kindergarten smoothly, but
unexpectedly, Estelle clamored to get off the car on the way. She even wanted to open the door
regardless of her own safety. I admonished her several times, but she didn‘t listen to me. I got a little
anxious in the end, so I stopped the car and hit her a few times.”
Hearing that she actually struck Estie, Melody‘s and Benedict‘s expressions sank. Wendy explained
tearfully following that, “I really didn‘t mean it. It was completely my fault. I shouldn‘t have struck a child.
Estie is so cute and the apple of all your eyes. Now that I think of it, I really want to hit myself. If only I
had more patience at that time.” Seeing that she regretted it so much, Melody‘s expression eased again.
“It‘s useless for you to come to us since you know it‘s wrong. You‘d better apologize to Estelle and don‘t
ever do this again in the future!” Wendy looked troubled. “Aunt Melody, I think so as well, but Byron found
out about this. He‘s furious—” “Byron should be angry. You should go talk things through with him
properly.” Melody frowned slightly. She also felt that Wendy had gone too far with this. She noted that
Wendy‘s face was even more sorrowful after she said that. “If Byron could forgive me, I‘d do anything,
but...” Wendy stopped. To one side, Magdalene said dearly, “Melody, you don‘t know how livid Byron
was. It was like he had lost his mind last night. He even struck Wendy. Look.” Saying that, she reached
out and lifted the long hair on Wendy‘s back, revealing the marks on her neck
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing the blues and purples on her neck, Melody and Benedict were stunned. They did not expect
Byron to act with such a heavy hand! Melody came out of shock and asked with concern, “This injury...
Will it get in your way?” Wendy pursed her lips and shook her head. “It‘s all right. This injury is nothing as
long as Byron can forgive me.” Seeing Wendy so regretful and so badly hurt, the dissatisfaction Melody
felt in her heart toward her also mostly disappeared. After all, they had seen what Wendy had done over
the years. Estelle was indeed a little withdrawn, and she was also headstrong. Outsiders would have a
headache taking care of her. Hence, Melody also thought that Wendy‘s reason for laying a hand on
Estelle was understandable. “Byron was really angry, then. We‘ll apologize to him on your behalf. Don‘t
take it to heart.” Melody apologized to Wendy. Wendy shed tears. “I‘m fine, but... I may not be able to be
with Byron anymore. I can‘t even take care of Estelle properly. I‘ve betrayed your trust in me. If Byron still
chooses Rosalie, then I‘ll give them my blessing.“
