118. Grandmother and Granddaughter's Dispute
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When a taxi arrived, Sky took a deep breath. Alice could feel her daughter's enthusiasm waning. Her compassion deepened.
"Honey," she whispered while stroking the back of Sky's hand, "don't worry. Grandma won't interfere with our plans.""Are you sure, Mama?" she asked doubtfully.Alice nodded."What if she bothers you again? I'll be really angry with her. I don't care if her blood pressure rises again. If she ends up in the hospital, it's her own fault."Alice's smile turned sour. "Don't think like that, Honey. Aren't you a good kid?""Yes, I'm a good kid. But if someone bothers Mama, I can become fierce." Sky stamped her foot once.Before Alice had time to advise, the taxi door opened. After Mary Klein, Elizabeth came down with a disheveled look."What are you guys wearing? Aren't you overdressed? You're standing there just to welcome me home."Alice ignored that remark. She raised the corners of her lips, greRelated chapters
Mr. President's Lost Wife 119. The Great Sky
"You always praised Giselle loudly, Grandma, even though she was nothing to you. You felt proud that people liked her, and was happy when people insulted Mama. You must have forgotten that it was the same as degrading yourself and also Papa." The servants gasped. They thought they heard wrong. That was the first time Sky called Edmund Papa. Alice was also stunned. She had heard Sky call Edmund Papa several times. It's just that she just realized. Sky did that every time they faced Elizabeth. That smart little girl was deliberately setting fire to her grandmother! Meanwhile, Elizabeth had been holding her head. She felt her blood pressure rise again. Her lungs were also heating up. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath. "Shut up," she said quietly. "Your voice is starting to hurt my ears." However, Sky didn't want to stop yet. "Mama is Papa's chosen wife. If you insult Mama, that means you insult Papa. And because Papa is your son, th
Mr. President's Lost Wife 120. A Childish Surprise
"That incompetent guy .... Does he think he is more powerful because he funds a project with me?" Edmund grumbled. After a snort, he took out his phone. He wanted to call Alice, but he was afraid that Sky would be disappointed a second time. So, he hurried back to the table. He realized he had to be more assertive. "Mr. Cage, where is your president?" Edmund asked, sounding a little annoyed. The man across the table checked his phone. "Sorry for your inconvenience, Sir. They will arrive in two minutes. We can immediately process the signing as soon as they arrive." Edmund's brows furrowed deeper. He wondered why the man said "they". Was the president of Elles Investment more than one person? Or did the driver count too? "I hope you don't forget that my time is limited. If your president is not here in five minutes, I have to leave the contract without signing." Mr. Cage nodded. "Understood, Sir." However, not even a minute late
Mr. President's Lost Wife 121. Can't You See Me?
While putting the shopping bag on the table, Giselle sighed, "Don't be surprised, Ed. You've known me for a long time. You should know my capacity." After a slow blink, her face became gloomy. "All this time, you have always praised Alice for her enthusiasm and tenacity. You called her a very amazing woman. She was able to get out of her comfort zone and overcome her fears. But what about me?" Giselle raised her head. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Edmund. "Look at me now. I am the president of the fastest growing startup company. Our valuation keeps increasing. We are even nominated for an award next month. I am now an independent career woman who is admired by many people." Seeing Edmund listening silently, the corners of Giselle's lips turned up again. "Then what has the woman you call great achieved? A shameful past?" Snorting, Giselle shook her head. "She doesn't even remember your birthday, Ed. She has no achievements. She is just a burden
Mr. President's Lost Wife 122. The Stunning Surprise
"You're better than Alice?" Edmund snorted lightly. Rolling his eyes, he shook his head. "How unreasonable." Then, he looked at the people around them one by one. "I know you're all on Giselle's side, but please answer my question honestly. This is for her own good. Does her action of stealing someone else's husband make sense? What will happen to your company if the media uncovers her behavior? The mysterious president of Elles Investment turns out to be hiding her identity because of her own disgrace." Everyone fell silent. The waiters, Mr. Cage, even Nick didn't dare comment. They were bowing their heads, caught in a dilemma. Defending or not defending, they were always wrong. "Guys? Why are you silent? Come on, answer him! Tell him that he should think clearly." "You're the one who should think clearly, Giselle. You're talented and your future is bright. Why waste it on a man like me?" "Because I also want to feel happy
Mr. President's Lost Wife 123. Happy Birthday, Papa
Sky put her hands on her hips. After turning to face Giselle, she stamped her foot once. "Miss Giselle, please listen to me carefully. Edmund is my Papa, and he is Mama's husband. No one can take him from me and Mama." Giselle's blood boiled hearing that scolding. But when she was about to argue, Alice's voice stole her attention. "But Ed, you don't need to cancel the contract just because the president seduced you." Not only Edmund, but Nick and Mr. Cage also raised their eyebrows. "Why? If our company is tied to hers, she could have more opportunities to seduce me. You don't mind about that?" With a small smile, Alice stroked Edmund's cheek. "I believe in you. Besides, if your companies work together, you don't have to handle it directly, right? There's Scott and the staff you can assign. Even if you have to meet her again, I'll be watching over you. Aren't I your assistant?" The corners of G
Mr. President's Lost Wife 124. Perfect Family
"Thank you very much, Honey. Thank you for calling me Papa on my birthday. This is the most beautiful gift I've ever received in my life." Edmund kissed his daughter's head. Instead of being happy, Sky's eyebrows knitted together. "That's not a gift. That's just a calling. The real gift is in the car. Wait a moment. Let me get it." While Sky ran towards the driver waiting in front of the car, Edmund turned to Alice. The curve of his lips changed meaning. "Did you purposely dress up to celebrate my birthday?" He put his arm around her waist. Smiling faintly, Alice nodded. "Is it strange? This is the first time I have worn a dress in my memory." Edmund shook his head. "You are very beautiful. Green is your color. This dress is lucky you chose it, just like me." Alice cupped Edmund's cheek, giving him a gentle stroke. "I'm glad you like my dress. In the future, I will try to please you more often." "You
Mr. President's Lost Wife 125. A Special Gift from Sky
"How is it, Papa? Is the cake delicious?" Sky asked with chocolate stain on her mouth. "Very delicious. Did you make it?" Sky raised both hands even though one of them was still holding the spoon. "Yes! I helped Mrs. Klein pour the raspberries into the mixture. I stirred them too." She made a spinning motion, demonstrating how to do it. "Then I helped Mama arrange the cake layers and the decorations on top. Mrs. Klein said, Papa likes raspberries. So I put a lot of raspberries." Chuckling, Edmund wiped away the chocolate cream that stained his daughter's cheek. "No wonder this cake is so delicious. Next time, how about we make it together?" Sky nodded firmly. "Good idea, Papa. Now, since you have finished eating, how about you start opening those gifts? After that, I'll take out the special gift." "But you haven't finished your cake yet." Sky looked down at her plate. She only ate one bite of the sec
Mr. President's Lost Wife 126. The Most Beautiful Day
Edmund took out the scrapbook very carefully from the box. After stroking the picture of a character that was very similar to Sky, he checked the first page. A bitter laugh escaped his mouth. The image of a crying baby had torn his heart. The date written there immediately evoked memories. At that time, Edmund had no idea that his little daughter had come into the world. He was still busy grieving and punishing himself in regret. "This is your birth date?" Edmund sighed, hoarsely. Sky nodded. Her lips folded inwards, not knowing what to say. "Let's celebrate your first birthday next year," Edmund promised. "It's not my first birthday, Papa. I'm already five next year." Edmund laughed in pain. "Yes, I know. But it will be your first birthday party with me, the first time I can celebrate your birthday. Sorry for missing four of your birthdays." Sky walked over to Edmund. She gave him a hug, patting his

"Sky, we should have brought that rifle too. Why did we leave it in the tent? The hunter could have taken it," Emily whispered as she shook Sky's hand. Feeling uncomfortable, Louis elbowed his sister in the arm. "Emily, there's nothing to regret. We'd better think of a way to defeat this evil man." "You think you can beat me?" The hunter laughed harshly. "Don't dream!" The hunter raised his rifle again. However, when he was about to aim, a strange sound came from above. Seeing a big orangutan about to jump from a branch, Sky hurriedly pulled the twins to run. She no longer cared about the rifle lying on the ground. She knew very well that angry orangutan was much more dangerous than the hunter. Meanwhile, the hunter was already stunned. He could only scream when the large mammal fell on him. The other hunters who watched did not dare to act. They didn't even move, afraid that the orangutan would think of them as their next target. "Aaargh! You guys .... Don't just sta
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 9. Accurate Shot
The twins fell silent. They didn't know what the right answer was. They didn't want to go back to that cramped confinement, but they also didn't want to be shot. Moreover, the hunter in front of them seemed serious about his threat. "Louis, I don't think we should fight back. He won't hesitate to shoot us. Look, his finger is ready to pull the trigger," Emily whispered anxiously. Louis swallowed hard. He agreed with his sister, but was reluctant to admit it. "Relax, Emily. There must be other ways to survive." He thought hard, forcing his brain to come up with spontaneous ideas. "Sir, how about we negotiate?" he said unexpectedly. The hunter pulled his eyes back from the lookout hole. One of his eyebrows rose. He didn't expect to hear those words. "What kind of negotiation can a little kid like you offer?" "We are not ordinary kids. We are the heirs of the Savior Group, potential great leaders in the future. If you are willing to free us, we will pay you a large amount.

"Papa, what a coincidence, Louis' GPS is with me. I'm looking at the coordinates of our location," Sky blinked stiffly. "That's great, Baby. Can you tell me the coordinates? I will be heading straight there." Sky swallowed hard. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. "That's the problem. I forgot the numbers I had memorized." Edmund fell silent for a moment. Sky could imagine him sighing in disappointment. "Papa, are you angry? Change." "No, Baby. I'm not angry. I understand that you are too nervous. Try to take a deep breath, calm your mind. You have managed to remember all the numbers and even letters, Darling. Slowly, you will be able to read them." Sky followed Edmund's advice. After closing her eyes for a moment, she looked carefully at the coordinates. "There's a little line sleeping here, Papa." "Okay. That's a negative sign. It means you are south of the equator. Then?" "There's an egg. It's zero, right?" "Yes. You're doing well so far. What's next, D
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 7. Caught
"Do I see correctly? There is a human child in the middle of the forest?" The man spoke a language that Louis and Emily didn't understand. An annoyed chuckle came from the other man. "Damn! Just adding to our work." "What should we do now?" "What else? We can't possibly let them escape. They can report to other people. Our plan could be ruined. Let's catch them!" The twins blinked at the rifle pointed at them. Emily immediately hid behind Louis' back, while Louis bravely stepped forward and stretched his arms in front of Mimi. "Don't hurt these orangutans! They are rare animals protected by the whole world. They should not be hunted and traded!" Louis exclaimed loudly. Over Louis' shoulder, Emily peeked out. "Yes! Orangutans must be conserved, not hunted. Don't you feel sorry for them? Look! The baby is scared!" Unexpectedly, the two hunters laughed. Not long after that, another person arrived with a frightening aura. His skin color was much paler than his friends. Obvio
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 6. The Right Decision
"No, Louis." Emily frowned. "We can't leave Mimi here alone. She could die." "But that's what she wants. She wants her child to be safe! She will survive. We just need to save her child quickly. I think we can do it. We are trained children, you remember?" Once again, Emily shook her head firmly. "No, Louis. That's too risky. We can't be selfish and think about our own pleasure. How about we just call the forest house? This is a serious matter." While Louis took a deep breath, Sky knitted her eyebrows. She looked very serious with her lips folded inward. "I think Emily is right. We can't solve this problem alone. We need help from adults. Our parents and the foundation people. We have to report this to them. Mimi needs medical help, while the poachers need to be caught." Louis pondered for a moment. He was actually reluctant to contact his parents. He wanted to be independent. However, Emily and Sky's words made sense. The problem was too big for them. "Okay. I'll call Dad
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 5. The Gunshots
"Sky, what's that sound?" Emily whispered in a choked voice. "Is that an explosion?" "I think it was the sound of a gun," Louis interrupted before grabbing the smaller girl's arm. "Sky, could it be a poacher?" Sky blinked angrily. "Maybe yes. This area is outside the scope of the foundation. The patrol team only checks it occasionally, when they have time." "Isn't illegal hunting prohibited? Only bad people still kill animals. What do you think they just shot, Sky? Is it an orangutan?" Louis asked with a serious expression. Emily immediately shuddered in horror. "Oh, if the hunters are targeting orangutan, I hope it manages to escape and survive. Orangutans are rare animals. It would be a shame if they became extinct." "And I hope it's not Mimi," Sky continued, stomping her foot. "She always takes her child everywhere. She must have difficulty moving and is vulnerable to attacks." "How about we check it? If it is indeed the work of poachers, we can immediately report this
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 4. Children's Adventures
"Honey, have you seen the kids?" Alice asked as she approached Edmund. "Kids?" Edmund looked away from his laptop. His eyebrows raised. "Aren't they still sleeping? I didn't see them come out of the tent." "I thought so too. But after I checked, they weren't there." Edmund looked around. His eyes and ears sharpened. However, no trace of the children was detected. "Are they playing in the back garden?" Alice shook her head. "I've checked it. They're not there." "Chicken coop? Who knows, Sky took the twins to see the chicks." "Not there too." Edmund snapped his fingers. "The geese coop! They must be playing with Gigi and Gusi." Alice took a deep breath. The lines on her forehead looked clearer. "I've looked everywhere, Ed. They're not anywhere." "Have you searched the house? Who knows, they might be playing hide and seek. They might be hiding somewhere." Edmund got up from the chair, about to check another room. At that moment, Russell ran out of the gue

Louis' brows furrowed at Edmund's question. "Why did you ask that, Sir? Of course I love Sky. She's my friend. She's like a little sister to me." Edmund blinked stiffly. "Is that so? You think of her as a little sister?" Louis nodded firmly. "Yeah, I think Emily is like that too. She used to want a younger sister. When Russell was born, she was sad. Sky's presence helped her to forget that disappointment." Edmund's lips slowly pursed. His hands were shoved into his pockets. "So, you consider my daughter to be your sister?" he muttered. For some reason, a feeling of relief rose in his heart. "Does it mean you will look after her like your little sister?" "Yes, I will take good care of Sky. I won't make her cry." Edmund's eyebrows knitted together. "But earlier, I saw you picking on Emily. Can you be trusted to look after your younger siblings?" Louis' lips suddenly twitched. While scratching his temple, he chuckled. "About that, I actually like teasing Emily. She's a cr

Everyone clapped when Sky and her animal friends finished performing. It wasn't just the Harper kids who were amazed, but their parents too. "Thank you, Sky. This is the sweetest welcome we have ever received," Kara said with a big smile. "Yes, this is an extraordinary welcome. How did you train those animals? Not just cat and dog, you also managed to train two geese." Frank gave Sky thumbs up. The little girl chuckled proudly. "That's because they're not just animals, Sir. They're my friends and they're smart. I think they want to follow my instructions because we get along well." "They're your friends?" Frank raised an eyebrow. The twins immediately scrambled to explain. "There are no other children here, Daddy. Therefore, Sky only plays with her animal friends." "Sky said she always fed them a lot. I think that's why the animals obey her. They like Sky!" Sky jumped enthusiastically. "Louis and Emily are right. Every day, I spend most of my time with my animal friend
