“I suddenly miss my wife, so I take a look at this.” Edmund held out the book to Sky. When Sky received it, her eyes immediately lit up. "Is this your wife's travel journal?" Receiving a nod from Edmund, her laughter echoed. She climbed onto the bed and opened the first page. “Wow, she put up photos from every trip? That's so cool,” she sighed as she examined each object on the paper. There were many letters that she didn't understand, but she liked the picture attached. “Yeah, isn't my wife very creative? This was her first trip after meeting me. We went to Antelope Canyon, and made many great memories. This is the best photo she chose.” In the picture, Edmund and Alice looked awkward. They didn't look like people who were dating, but rather strangers who had just met. But that wasn't what caught Sky's attention, but Alice's face. “You know what, Uncle Ed? After seeing your wife's photo, I think I can understand why you thought Mama was her. Their faces are similar. It's just t

"You," Rachel whispered, clutching her chest, "what are you doing?" Edmund didn't hear what Rachel said clearly. The rain had covered up her voice. But from her gesture, he knew that his presence had startled her. "Sorry," he said as he walked over. “I didn't mean to scare you. I couldn't sleep because I was hungry.” “Didn't you check the dining table? "I've kept some food for you there," Rachel said irritably. Instead of feeling guilty, Edmund put on a straight face. “That's the problem. Your cooking is too delicious. I want more, but don't know where to get it. Is there any left?” Rachel rolled her eyes and took a quick breath. “In the refrigerator, the green box at the bottom.” "Thank you." Edmund followed the direction. Finding what he was looking for, his eyes automatically lit up. He brought the box to the table then continued eating heartily. “Rachel, I also took more rice earlier. I hope you don't mind," he said loudly, not caring that it was almost midnight. If the ra

Seeing Edmund's teary eyes, Rachel felt a strange vibration rise in her heart. However, thinking it was just sympathy, she said, "Sorry, Mr. Hills. I didn't mean to bring up your old wounds. I'm just trying to understand your situation." “No, please don't apologize. It's not your mistake. You're innocent. I'm the one who should apologize. I have involved you in my problems. You must think me a strange and impudent man. Sorry if I acted like a jerk.”Rachel snorted slightly. "I don't know whether it's right to say, but I'm relieved that you're aware about it. I hope you don't do that again. You can treat Sky as if she were your daughter, but please remember, I am not your wife. I look forward to your understanding." Edmund fell silent for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he nodded. “Okay then, since we have made it clear, can we be friends?” "Unfortunately, I need Lucas' permission for that. I don't want him to get jealous and beat you up again. The hospital is too far from her

"Isn't rattan usually used for handicrafts and furniture?" Edmund asked while they were still on the way. Sky nodded vigorously. "Yes! Rattan can be used to make chairs, tables, shelves, and much more because the material is elastic and strong. I heard it's cheaper than wood, lighter, and it grows faster. People should only use rattan to make furniture. Don't cut down any more trees." Edmund smiled at that explanation. “You're very smart, Sky. I got a lot of knowledge from you. But, is it true that rattan can be eaten? You guys are not secretly conspiring to poison me, right?” While Rachel snorted, Sky burst into laughter. “We couldn't possibly poison you, Uncle. You are our special guest and my friend. But if it's true that rattan is poisonous, you're not the only one who will get sick. Mama and I too because we often eat rattan. But you should remember, Uncle. Only ant rattan. Don't try to eat other types.” Edmund nodded. “Do you like eating rattan? How does it taste?" Sky's l

“Mama, Uncle!” Sky returned with a cheerful face. "Look at this! I have made a lot of plans!" She spread her journal next to the cutting board. Edmund glanced at it while raising his eyebrows. “Can you explain what those are?” His voice was a little hoarse with the remaining sadness stuck in his throat. Sky's chin rose to press against her lips. “Is this still hard to understand? I've tried to make it as simple as possible. Mama, do you understand what I'm drawing?" Rachel looked at what Sky was showing her. Seeing images she didn't expect, she froze. “You ... want to do that with Mr. Hills?” "Yes! I want to learn to swim, learn to climb a tree, harvest fruit in the forest, learn how to tie a rope, explore the forest to look for pangolins, mark cool places on the globe, and play with my animal friends." After mentioning one by one the meaning of the pictures she made, Sky smiled sweetly in front of Edmund. "I want to do all this with Uncle Ed." Edmund's eyes suddenly filled wi
Mr. President's Lost Wife 29. Sky's Happiness
Worried that her daughter's thoughts were going too far, Rachel could no longer remain silent. "Honey, you're still small. Why are you already thinking about a partner?” “Because Uncle Ed is perfect, Mama. When else can I meet a man like him?" Edmund chuckled. Pinching Sky's cheek, he said, "One day, there will be a perfect man to be your partner. I am more suitable to be your father than a partner." “Oh, what a shame.” Sky lowered her shoulders. Rachel could only sigh in disbelief. “Honey, why don't you take a shower now? Looks like you're drunk on rattan.” Sky's eyes widened as her mother took her hand. "Rattan isn't intoxicating, Mama. How could I be drunk?" “Mr. Hills, please continue my work. I'll cook it after I finish bathing Sky." Edmund could only smile in amusement. He still couldn't stop thinking about that little girl. Sky really looked like Alice. Back when they were just dating, Alice also mentioned that. "I'm really lucky, Ed. You are perfect. When else can I f

"Yes, can't Mama and Uncle see it?" Sky turned the book 90 degrees clockwise. "Look! Doesn't it look like two waterfalls side by side? This is Chamarel Falls!" Edmund and Rachel could not help but laugh. Their heads shook, amazed by Sky's imagination. "How could you think of such creative ideas, Sky? You're amazing." Edmund rubbed her head. Smiling sweetly, Sky looked back. "That's because I really like Chamarel Falls. It's easy for me to see it." Meanwhile, Rachel secretly held her breath. She was touched by her daughter's interaction with Edmund. He was just a stranger who came from nowhere, but his attitude showed that he knew Sky very well. He knew exactly how to handle her, even better than Lucas. "Then what other letters do you want to memorize?" Edmund's question made Rachel blink. When she turned her head, Sky was tapping her chin with a finger. "What about your wife's name? What letter is her initial?" In an instant, Edmund's cheerfulness faded. Rachel's expression st

"Uncle Ed, are you sad because of what Mama said?" Edmund blinked and straightened his back. He didn't know when Sky opened the door. As he looked around, she already stepped in with a guilty face. “Please don't be sad. Mama also thought the compass was beautiful. It's just that Mama didn't want to say it. Maybe it's because Mama was embarrassed that her compass was not that nice." Sky leaned against the edge of the bed, right next to Edmund. Edmund smiled wryly at the her misunderstanding. "Rachel also has a compass?" Sky nodded. “But it was broken and never used again. Papa said, people nowadays rely on GPS. That compass is old.” While stroking Sky's hair, Edmund whispered, "Do you agree with him?" "In my opinion, it's true that the compass is old, but it doesn't mean we don't need to use it anymore. People who still use a compass are actually cool." The corners of Edmund's lips turned up. "Do you often disagree with Lucas?" “Papa rarely agrees with my opinion, but I realize
