Mr. President's Lost Wife 27. The Progress
"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
Mr. President's Lost Wife 28. The Meaning of Two
“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

"But Uncle, pangolins are usually active at night. During the day like this, they like to sleep in their nests. That's why we have to be more alert. Look for scratch marks or big holes in the ground. That could be their nest." "How do we differentiate their claw marks from those of other animals?" Edmund asked seriously. "I don't know either, Uncle. That's why, every time we find a hole, we have to check it," Sky said as she continued walking. Her head occasionally turned back. Edmund never got tired of responding with a smile. "All this time, I always hope to see pangolins. I am curious what they look like when they feel threatened. Is it true that they look like balls and can roll?" Her voice sounded sweet."Unfortunately, their numbers are getting smaller now. That's why they are protected animals. I'm confused why naughty hunters still target their meat and scales. Pangolins are wild animals. They should live in the wild, not be killed for food or medicine." Sky stamped her foo
Mr. President's Lost Wife 33. Heartwarming Moment
"Do you like children?" Rachel asked when she could no longer hold back her curiosity. Edmund glanced for a moment. With a crooked smile, he focused on the camera. "Not really. The children always like me." "I can understand that," Sky interjected with a faint smile. "You're the best person I've ever known. A little above Uncle Green, but please don't tell him. I'm afraid he'll be sad." Edmund's smile widened. He was actually curious about Lucas' position, but he didn't want to be disappointed. So, handing Sky the photo he had just taken, he said, "And you are the best child I have ever known. Please don't tell the other children. It will be troublesome if they all cry later." Sky giggled again. While receiving the photo paper from Edmund, she stood on tiptoe. "Thank you, Uncle Ed. Now, how about we follow the footprints? Maybe, the pangolin isn't that far away. The trail looks still fresh." "Sky," Rachel stroked her shoulder, "The sun is going down. How about we go home now?" S

Rachel blinked at the portrait of herself. "Gosh, why am I so ugly? You couldn't possibly stick a photo like this in your journal, right, Sky? Mr. Hills, let's take one more picture." Edmund exchanged glances with Sky. Seeing the little girl shaking her head faintly with a mischievous smile, he grimaced. "It's a shame, the capacity is limited. My photo paper will run out if we hope for perfect results. This one is okay. The important thing is that Sky is still beautiful and the pangolins are visible." "Yes!" Sky snatched the photo and secured it in her shirt pocket. "This photo is good. No need to repeat it." Rachel sighed in disbelief. "How could it be good? My eyes are like a sleepy chicken. Let's redo it. Just once is fine." "Don't be sad, Mama. You're always beautiful no matter what the circumstances." "Yes," Edmund continued, "you are always beautiful, Rachel. Don't worry. Now, Sky, can we go home?" "Yeah!" Sky nodded firmly. "Mama, come on, put me down. I can walk by myse
