2024-10-29 19:42:56The woman wearing a butterfly pin nodded. With sparkling eyes, she showed off Sky's photo on her phone. Sky was standing with her arms outstretched. A large waterfall looked so beautiful behind her.
"Look at this. Isn't she adorable?"The others nodded in agreement."Yes, she looks very happy. She must feel free there. Oh, I thought she was going to hug me.""But I think her pose in the photo I received is the cutest."All gazes immediately shifted to the woman in the white blazer."What photo did you get?"She took out her phone proudly. "Look at how cute her expression is here! If I had been there, I would have pinched her cheeks."The other two women scrambled to check. When they saw Sky standing in the middle of the bridge surrounded by treetops, their laughter spread to the air."Oh, why does she open her eyes and mouth that big?""And why does she look like s

Smiling, Elizabeth said, "You are right. I am very lucky to have daughter-in-law and grandchild like Alice and Sky. Therefore, I can't wait to welcome them home." Her three friends nodded. When they were about to reply, their phones beeped. A breaking news notification had appeared. Reading the title, they all gasped. "Did I read it correctly? Giselle became a trending topic?" "Yeah, she's a trending topic." "But, is it true? She turns out to be this embarrassing?" Curious, Elizabeth took her phone. She did a manual search on the topic. When she found it, her breath hitched. Surprise escaped from her mouth. ***Lucas was lost in thought, his gaze fixed out the window. Canis, who was lying beside his chair, looked listless. Maybe he was bored of not getting attention from his owner. But when a knock came from the door, Canis straightened up again. He ran towards the door, pacing as if to te
Mr. President's Lost Wife 169. Shouldn't Call Me Papa
For a long time, Lucas bent down and hugged his wife's grave. He wanted to give all his attention and affection to her. Unfortunately, no matter how many sweet words he said, no matter how sincere the apology he offered, he realized. His wife would never answer. He could only cry and lament his fate until he fell asleep, hoping that Rachel would come in his dream. When Lucas woke up, nothing had changed. Rachel was still gone and he had to let her go. The only thing he could think of to survive was to return to the forest house—the place he had once promised as home to his beloved wife. *** All the way home, Lucas felt empty. Moreover, Canis was not beside him on the plane. His mind was easily carried away by feelings that he should have reconciled with long ago. "Is it appropriate for me to continue living after what I've done?" "Is there any reason for me to rise again?" "What is the meaning of life to m
Mr. President's Lost Wife 170. The Most Special Gift from Sky
"Papa Edmund doesn't mind at all. In fact, he was the one who took Mama and me here so we could meet again. He said he was worried about you. Mama and I need to cheer you up. That's why I made a special welcoming earlier."Sky nodded reassuringly before continued to speak. "Wasn't that cool, Papa? You love watching me and my animal friends work together, right? They are great partners!" Lucas' chest felt tighter and tighter. He didn't know if that feeling was a punishment or a gift. He didn't dare glance at Edmund. His embarrassment was beyond measure. "You don't need to feel embarrassed about me, Lucas. I don't mind Sky calling you Papa. You were once her father. In fact, I'm grateful that you took that responsibility for those five years." Lucas exhaled heavily. He had no other choice, but to stand up and meet Edmund's gaze. "Don't pretend to be nice to me," he whispered. "I don't pretend. I do than

"Hello, Lucas. How are you?" Alice greeted when she arrived at the yard. Hearing that voice, longing gripped Lucas' heart. If only it was Rachel standing in front of him, he would definitely be very happy. He would hug and kiss her, whisper warm words sweetly and intimately. However, he realized that all he could embrace was the bitterness of reality. Rachel had gone. He had to let other guys happy with a wife, while he could only see Rachel in memories. "Not so good." Lucas shook his head honestly. Alice pursed her lips, nodded. She was relieved that the man had returned to being himself. Lucas didn't think of her as Rachel. But on the other hand, she was also concerned. "I heard you've reconciled with Edmund." Lucas raised the corner of his lips. "I just realized that my actions were very ridiculous. Sorry I forced you to take my wife's position." Alice sho

The adults laughed at Sky's enthusiasm. "Okay, let's take photos now. Call your friends," Lucas nodded. "I'll call Arai to help us taking the pictures." Alice pointed to the back garden. "Okay, Mama!" A second later, Sky jumped in a star pose. "Gigi, Gusi, come back here. We have to take a family photo. Felis? You too. Stop lazing around up there!" Ignored by the animals, Sky put her hands on her hips. "Are you listening to me or not? Felis, move! Canis, help me to get her here. I'll scold Gigi and Gusi." Sky ran towards the cage. "Gigi, Gusi! Don't be naughty geese!" Lucas unconsciously laughed watching her cute behavior. He actually used to see it back then, but now, the impression was different. Sky wasn't annoying at all. On the contrary, she was adorable. "I hope you don't repeat my mistake. Take good care of them. Don't let you get sep
Mr. President's Lost Wife 173. End of a Long Journey
"Sky is right," Edmund said as he carried two suitcases. "Let's go home before dark. The sun sets early in the forest." The women immediately widened their eyes. "Is it dangerous when it's dark?" "Are there many wild animals lurking around?" Sky laughed amusedly. "Don't be afraid, Madam. As long as we are with Papa Ed and Canis, we are safe. Now let's hurry." While the others walked after Sky, Elizabeth bit her lip. Hesitantly, she shifted closer to her son. "Ed, how are you?" Edmund glanced slightly. "Never been this good. I'm happy with my wife and child. How about you? You look healthier. Your blood pressure must be under control." Elizabeth grimaced faintly. "Yes, I'm healthier, but my life is lonely. No one cares about me anymore. You just transfer money without including any information." "It was sent automatically. Is it not enough?" "No." Elizabeth shook her head quickly. "That's not the point of my words, but loneliness. I've felt lonely since you
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 1. Welcoming the Guests
"Louis! Emily!" Sky waved with all her might. Her laughter was so light, especially when the twins answered her call. "Sky! Sky!" They jumped up and down on a speedboat that was hurtling towards the pier. Beside them, another smaller boy waved. Seeing him, Sky's eyes sparkled brighter. "Russell, you're coming too?" Laughing louder, she jumped. "Russell!" Seeing how enthusiastically Sky welcomed her friends, Edmund involuntarily snorted. Alice heard that. Glancing at him, she smiled amusedly. "Ed, haven't you met Louis? I thought you'd agree that he's a good kid." Edmund raised his eyebrows slightly. "Yes, he's a good kid. But that doesn't mean he can escape from my monitoring." Alice frowned. "Are you still jealous? Come on, Ed. Sky is still so little, and you've heard her confession yourself. Her favorite guy is still you." Alice elbowed Edmund's arm. However, her husband still put on a sullen look. "Even though Sky always says that she loves me the most, I can
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 2. Watch Over Louis
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

"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
