141. Close to Them
"How long have you been here?" Emma asked.
Edmund blinked stiffly. He was afraid of being kicked out. "Recently.""Do you want me to check the CCTV?" Emma raised an eyebrow.Edmund took a deep breath. "Can't I wait here? I promise I won't show up in front of Alice. I just want to be near them. I won't be a bother. I'll just sit still here."Emma placed one hand on the car. Her expression was serious. "You remember that you also have a life, right? You're a CEO. You have a lot of things to take care of, including your own health.""I know. Don't worry. I've brought my own needs. Water, food, clothes. I even took a shower before coming here.""And that?" Emma pointed to the small backpack on the next seat. A green teddy bear sat there. "You intend to meet Sky?"Edmund fell silent for a moment. "Can I?"Emma took a deep breath and put her hands on her hips. "Listen, Ed. Even Sky and I have tRelated chapters

When Edmund took out a green teddy bear, Sky's jaw dropped. "Papa did bring Grassy! As I thought, Papa wouldn't leave Grassy at the office." Her laughter was in the air.When her father handed her the bear, Sky immediately jumped to catch it. "Thank you, Papa. I think I can sleep well tonight even though I can't hug you." Edmund smiled faintly. "Besides, I also brought this." Seeing a backpack full of pins, Sky's laughter echoed again. She jumped up and down. "My bag!" While helping Sky carry the full bag, Edmund let out a faint sigh. "You never go without your bag, right?" "Yeah, an adventurer must always be prepared and full of supplies. What did you put in here, Papa? Why is it so full?" Sky patted her bag. It was bulging but not too heavy. "Open it later when you're inside. Now I have to go back to hiding. Don't let your mother see me. I don't want her to cry again." Sky nodded in agre

"Oh, Alice ...." Emma pulled her into a hug. "You don't need to rush. We understand your condition. It must be very difficult. Slowly, let's heal your wounds, hmm?" "But what about Sky? And Ed? We promised to always be together, but I failed to keep it." While patting her back, Emma tried to calm her down. Without their knowing, a little girl was listening to their conversation. Hearing her mother's sobs, she didn't come in. The smile had disappeared from her face. Her eyes were now sad, her head bowed. While hugging Grassy, Sky returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa, her gaze hanging. After a blink, she turned the teddy over, giving it a gentle rub. "Grassy, what should we do? Mama still seems angry with Papa. Can they get back together?" Biting her lip, Sky turned to the window. Longing weighed on her heart. After pondering for a moment, she took the Rocky Talkie from her bag. "Papa, do you hear me?"

Sky stepped backed towards the door. Standing on tiptoe, she waved her hand. Her mouth moved silently, but Edmund knew what she wanted to say. "I love you, Papa." Edmund waved back. After that, he drove to the office. He couldn't wait to finish his work so he could "go home" sooner. Alice and Sky were his home. As Edmund left, Sky stared at the air. She felt a little empty in her heart. However, remembering that Rocky Talkie could connect her with Edmund, her smile brightened again. With a small hum, she walked like a penguin into the house. When Sky had just closed the door, her eyes got widened. Something crossed her mind. "I forgot to remind Papa to have breakfast! While Mama is still washing the dishes, I have to get my Rocky Talkie." Sky turned around, ready to run. Unfortunately, before she could take many steps, someone knocked on the door. "Oh? Is that Papa? Or Uncle Henry? Is there something left behind
Mr. President's Lost Wife 145. Painful Honesty
Emma fell silent. She observed Lucas' face. No lies detected on it. "If you really love Alice, shouldn't you understand her condition? She needs rest. The doctor said she was overwhelmed because she received too much information. If you talk to her now, you'll end up adding new data. Her head could hurt again." Lucas laughed cynically. He shook his head, refusing to believe it. Then suddenly, he grabbed the window bars as if to break them. "I told you, I won't hurt Alice. I won't repeat yesterday's mistakes. So please, open the door now." Emma folded her arms across her chest. Her head shook firmly. "No. It's useless for you to beg. I won't open the door. Come back here when Alice's condition gets better." Lucas turned around. He paced back and forth, clutching his head and growling. Not wanting to give up, he started banging harder on the door. "Alice! I want to talk to you. Please come out! Alice!"
Mr. President's Lost Wife 146. Left for Good
Suddenly, Alice cupped Lucas' cheek. She gave him a gentle rub like a mother would do to her child. "You're a good man, Lucas. Without you, I wouldn't have been breathing. I wouldn't have survived until now. But I'm sorry ...." She moved her hand to Lucas' arm. "I can't be with you. Not only because I'm married, but also because I love Edmund too much. He and I have sworn to be faithful to each other until death do us part. If there was no him in this world, I would be better off alone. There is no man other than him who can occupy my heart. He is the only one for me, and I'm sure you and Rachel are like that too." Lucas snorted. Looking away, his eyes flickered with heat. "So, there's no chance for me? You still chose him? You chose the person who betrayed you over your savior?" Alice shook her head faintly. "No, Lucas. Edmund never betrayed me. It was just Giselle and Elizabeth's instigation. I'm sure there must be a reason why he did what w

Emma couldn't bear to see his misery. After hesitating, she said, "Alice went to calm down, Ed. I think it's better if you let her be. She'll come back when she's feeling better." "It's just the two of them, Emma!" Edmund's voice suddenly exploded. His lips trembled with anxiety. "A woman and a toddler. What can they do if they encounter wild animals or criminals? Why did you let them go? You should have kept them here." "Alice is used to adventures, Ed. Have you forgotten? Come on, don't exaggerate it. You two won't be apart for long. I'm sure she'll come back soon. Just let her calm down." "How do you know they'll come back, hmm? How do do you know?" Edmund's voice rose. "Don't lie to me, Em. I've lost them for five years. I was tormented every second of it. Now, it's only been a few days since I was able to be with them again. But you're asking me to let them go?" Emma shook her head quickly. "It's not like that, Ed. Earlier, Alice

Giselle clenched her jaw. Her hands turned into fists. "I have admired you for a long time, Ed. You're an extraordinary man. That's why I applied to be your secretary. I wanted to learn a lot from you. I wanted to be with you as often as possible. I wanted to always accompany you." Suddenly, Giselle shifted forward. Her face showed more seriousness. "And looking at you now, is there any reason for me to stop liking you? You managed to become a successful CEO. Yet, you still maintain your impressive personality. Is it possible for me to let you be with someone else?" Taking a deep breath, Giselle shook her head. "A man as good as you shouldn't waste your life on a woman like Alice. You should be with a great woman too, like me." "But I don't need a woman like you. I only need Alice. Never will I accept another woman," Edmund said no less loudly. Giselle started laughing. The sound was full of annoyance and disapp
Mr. President's Lost Wife 149. Sky's Sadness
"Edmund, where are you going?" Elizabeth asked. "Chasing my dream." Elizabeth hit his arm with all her might. "Where is your common sense? Your dream has been here all along. She just left. Hurry and chase her before it's too late!" Edmund looked at his mother with cold eyes. "My dream is to live happily with Alice and our daughter. If my company becomes an obstacle, I'm willing to let it go. I'm willing to do anything as long as my family stays together." Again, Elizabeth hit Edmund's arm. "Don't play around! You're an adult, Edmund. This is not the time for trial and error. Your success must be maintained. Do you think anyone can build a company that big?" "I'm not playing around. My decision is final. I want to go on an adventure with the people I love. That's happier. And now I realize. That's the life I want. To be free without any burdens." "Then what about the company? Your career? Your reputation? How ca
