Mr. President's Lost Wife 31. A Cheerful Girl
"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

"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

Rachel let out a faint sigh. "My clothes are wet. It would be troublesome if the mattress got wet this season." "You still have time to worry about that?" Edmund turned to the face resting on his shoulder. Rachel raised her head slightly. "I just don't want to bother later." "If not on the bed, then where?" Sky furrowed her brows. Suddenly, Edmund was walking again. "Sky, please open my bedroom door." Rachel was taken aback. "Y-your room?" "Lie on my bed. I don't mind if my bed is wet. I can dry it later." "B-but ...." Too late. Edmund had carried her into the room, setting her down carefully on the edge of his bed. However, Rachel still grimaced. Her body leaned forward. She suddenly forgot to worry about her position in bed with a man who was not her husband. When Edmund took off her raincoat, she could only obey. "Sky, take a quick shower and wear warm clothes. Don't get sick," Rachel said when her daughter finished taking off her own raincoat. "Mama, you don't need to w

"Are you sure he's helping? What if he ruins our dinner? Even his experimental sandwiches taste weird." Sky giggled for a moment. "That's much better than not eating at all, Mama. As Mama always says, we eat to live, not live to eat." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sky quickly jumped out of bed. As soon as she opened the door, Edmund came in with a tray. Two bowls on it emitted thin steam into the air. "What is that, Uncle Ed? It smells good." Edmund put the tray on the table. "Sorry, I only found rice and a few kinds of vegetables. So, I made vegetable porridge." Sky stood on tiptoe, peeking. Finding porridge decorated to resemble a clown's face, she giggled. "Oh, Uncle. That's so cute. I can't wait to eat it." "That's for you, Sky. You can eat with your mother." Edmund turned to Rachel. "Can you sit?" Rachel tried to get up, but she ended with a grimace. Edmund quickly stopped her from moving again. "I think you should lie down. I can feed you." Rachel froze. Her

"I'm fine. You don't have to wait for me," Rachel said while blinking in awkwardness.Edmund shook his head. "It's okay. I'd feel uncomfortable if I left you in the bathroom alone. But don't feel uncomfortable. I won't peek. I'll just wait here." "Were you also waiting for Sky like this yesterday?" Edmund chuckled. "Yes. I asked her not to lock the door, then she asked me not to peek. I think she forgot that in Mauritius, she jumped out wearing only duck pants." Rachel smiled amusedly. "Sky is indeed difficult to anticipate." Then, she took care of herself in the bathroom. When she got out, Edmund was still standing in the same position. "What would you like for breakfast this morning?" Rachel widened her eyes when she heard that. "You want to experiment again?" "Yes, if possible. But I'm confused about what to cook because the ingredients are running out. Should we shop in the nearest town?" Rachel shook her head slightly. "No, we can get the ingredients from the back garden.

Rachel nodded. “Please don't take my trust for granted. Take good care of Sky. If something bad happens to her, Lucas and I will kill you." Edmund smiled faintly. “Please watch over us carefully. You will know that I can be relied on and always keep my promises.” "Mama, Uncle Ed, what are you doing there? Are you having fun without me?" Edmund looked up at the veranda. Sky was standing with her hands on her hips. She just made an adorable little stomp. "No, Honey. How could we have fun without you? We're just picking vegetables in the back garden." Rachel pointed to the basket in Edmund's hand. "That's called having fun, Mama. Why didn't you wake me up?" As Rachel walked towards the stairs, Sky followed, shifting like a crab. "We didn't want to disturb your sweet dreams, Dear," Rachel said while hugging her daughter. "How did Mama know I had a nice dream? I dreamed of playing with a baby pangolin! I brought candy to invite lots of ants. It was happy to see lots of food." Rach

"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

"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
Mr. President's Lost Wife Special Chapter 3. Louis' Promise
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
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
