128. Can't Be Jealous
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Papa Lucas! Canis!" Sky jumped up and down while waving her hands.
Recognizing the voice, the German Sepherd dog barked. A second later, it ran like an arrow."Canis!" Sky greeted her beloved friend with teary eyes. Her mouth kept laughing. When Canis arrived in front of her, she immediately bent her knees to give a warm hug."Canis! How are you? I really miss you. Did you come alone? Aren't you with anyone else? Felis, Gigi, and Gusi must be jealous of you."Then, while stroking Canis' head, Sky looked at him longingly. "Oh, why are you so skinny? Don't you eat much? Did Uncle Green and Mr. Arai feed you too little? You should ask for more if you don't have enough food. Bark and go circle around the plate. They'll understand."Canis seemed to be listening carefully. His gaze didn't leave Sky for a second. His lolling tongue and rapid breathing conveyed excitement. Seeing that, Sky hugged him again."Oh, Canis.Related chapters

"Don't you miss me? Why do you want to hug Canis but don't want to hug me?" Lucas said.Sky widened at the question. She looked back. Doubt filled her lungs. "Papa, can I hug Papa Lucas?" A part of Ed's heart felt relieved hearing that. Didn't it mean Sky understood and cared about his feelings? "Yes, Baby." Sky's smile widened again. "Thank you, Papa." When Sky hugged him, warmth immediately enveloped his heart. Those little hands had often hugged him back then, but why was the impression different now? Her laughter, too, felt tickling and aroused sadness. "I miss you too, Papa Lucas. But Papa Edmund said we would visit you later when you weren't angry anymore. So, I wasn't sad. I patiently waited until you or Uncle Green invited us to the forest house. Every night I always pray. I want to meet Felis, Gigi, and Gusi too. How are they? Are they skinny like Canis?" Lucas' eyes filled with tears when he

"Don't you feel guilty towards Rachel?" Alice raised her forehead. "You said you really loved her, but why did you replace her so easily?" While Lucas froze, Alice lowered her gaze. Her eyes suddenly became droopy and dim. "All this time, I felt guilty towards her. I felt like I had stolen her husband's attention and affection." "No, Alice. Don't feel that way. I—" "So you don't feel bad about her?" Alice interrupted with shaking eyes. Lucas fell silent again. Cold sweat beaded on the back of his neck. "You make me even more afraid of you, Lucas," Alice continued quietly. "Rachel is your legal wife. Even though she is gone, you should still respect her, but why are you chasing me—someone else's wife?" "Rachel died a long time ago. It's been over five years." "Your love is that shallow?" Lucas's denial was again refuted. He turned around for a moment, put his hands

Realizing Sky's fear, Canis walked over to her. He stood near Sky, hoping that the little girl would feel safe again. But when Sky was just stroking him, Lucas shouted, "Canis, let's get out of here." He walked quickly towards the yard. Unexpectedly, the brown-black dog did not follow. Realizing that, Lucas stopped and turned around. "Canis?" Instead of approaching Lucas, the German Sepherd dog sat beside Sky. Seeing that, Alice was flabbergasted, Sky bit her lip, while Lucas sighed in disbelief. "Canis? Seriously? You too?" The man laughed bitterly. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he closed his eyes. His head shook in disapproval. "Even Canis chose to leave me. Why? Why doesn't anyone want to stay with me?" Hearing the muttering, Sky started to pout. She looked at Canis for a moment, then looked up at Alice. As expected, her mother was also at a loss for words. Her face showed pity. "Mama, should I

Sky flickered for a moment. "Let's stick to the plan, Papa. I don't want to postpone any agenda. So later, when we meet Canis again, I'll have a lot to tell." Edmund nodded slightly. After rubbing Sky's cheek, he stood up. "Well then, wash your hands and face again. You just hugged Canis. We don't know when he last bathed and where he's been in the last few days. He could bring a lot of germs." "Okay, Papa." While Sky ran towards the back door, Edmund turned to face his wife. "Are you okay?" Alice took a deep breath and slipped into Edmund's arms. "I feel bad for Lucas. I owe him a lot, but I can't give him anything." "There's nothing we can do, Alice. That's his fate. Let's just pray that he'll be strong and can move on from you quickly. He needs to learn to make peace with himself and reality." Alice nodded in agreement. When their eyes met, Edmund stroked her cheek. "And thank you for staying by my side. I promise, I will always app

Elizabeth quickly waved her hands and let out a laugh. "Of course not. Why do you think that? Do we look like bad people?" Meanwhile, Giselle returned her hands to her lap. "You should know,Mister—excuse me, what's your last name?" Lucas snorted faintly. "Palmer." "Mr. Palmer, what happened to Alice was not an accident. It was intentional. She was heartbroken after finding out about my relationship with Edmund. That's why she acted recklessly." "Then what does it have to do with me being here? What is your purpose in calling me?" Lucas shifted his gaze to Elizabeth. "You mentioned help earlier. Please explain." Elizabeth took a deep breath, but Giselle had already answered. "We need your help to separate Alice from Edmund. Isn't that what you want? We have the same goal." Lucas let silence freeze the air. After one blink, he snorted. "What makes you guys think I'll help?" "Don't you want Alice

As the sun went down, Edmund, Alice, and Sky moved to the camping area. So once night came, the tent was already standing perfectly. "Oh, so this plateau was uplifted by tectonic activity, but the Colorado River wasn't? That's why it remains at the bottom of the canyon?" Sky asked with round eyes. Edmund stroked his chin. "Yeah, something like that." "Then each layer on the canyon wall is from a different era? The lower it is, the older its age is? The bottom one is a billion years old?" Sky's head rose even higher, just like her tone. "Yes." Sky's amazement wafted quickly into the air. "Wow! I don't know how long a billion years is. But I guess, it's a very long time! Dinosaurs might have stepped on it. If that's the case, let's trample the ground around here, Papa. Our footprints should also be immortalized in this layer. " Sky started jumping around Edmund. "Come on, Papa. We can't lose to the dinosaurs. Even

"Grandma, do you want to see my photo again? This was taken in the same place as the previous photo of Mama and Papa. Only, it's just me and Grassy. I also took a photo with Mama and Papa, but it's there." Sky pointed at a servant. Elizabeth chuckled. She accepted the picture, studied it briefly. "You know what? When he was still little, your father also took photos here." "Is it true?" Sky's eyes widened. "Yes, I had it on my phone, but yesterday, it was accidentally deleted." Elizabeth glanced at her daughter-in-law. "Alice, do you still have the photos you sent me? I want to show them to Sky." Alice's eyes widened. "I've also deleted it, but I think I have the backup. Do you want me to get it back? But you still have to wait a moment because my phone is in the bedroom." "Why not just look straight from the album?" Edmund frowned. "That's more practical." Elizabeth fell silent for a moment. She must choose a r

Instead of giving the envelope, Lucas opened it. Sky's neck stretched, waiting for its contents to be taken out. However, before Lucas had time to pull it, an employee came. "Mr. Hills, I'm sorry. Could you come to the lobby please? There's something important you need to handle immediately." Edmund's brows furrowed. "What is it?" The employee glanced at Lucas for a moment. Worried that the company's secret would be exposed, he leaned closer to Edmund's ear. "Miss Williams came to renegotiate the deal. She brought a new offer and also the contract. We refused her arrival and explained that your decision was irrevocable, but she insisted." "Just drag her out," Edmund said casually. The employee frowned. He bowed again. "The problem is ... she came with journalists. She threatened to spread negative news to all television stations if you rudely refused. She lied to the journalists, telling them that today we had a

"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

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

"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

"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
