“Yes! That's one of my favorite activities with Uncle Ed, apart from swimming in the river and seeing pangolins. He's a great teacher, Uncle Green. I can memorize many letters thanks to him. Lastly, I have memorized the letter H for Hunter.” Hunter's eyes widened. "You already know my initial?" Sky nodded firmly. "Yes! It looks like a ladder." Not only Hunter, but Rachel was also wide-eyed. "How come?" Sky drew the letter H on the table with her tiny finger. “It has two poles and one step. If we stack several letters H, they will become a ladder." Rachel laughed amusedly at that explanation. “Okay then, what does the name Hunter have to do with a ladder, Dear? As far as I know, Uncle Green rarely uses it.” “Because Uncle Green likes to give hope to the animals he saves, H can also be for hope.” “And what does hope have to do with a ladder?” Rachel raised an eyebrow. “They both take us to higher ground! Uncle Ed said that.” Hunter spontaneously glanced at the man in front of h

“Mr. Hills, you don't need to help me. I'm fine. This is light work,” Rachel said.“Precisely because this is light work, you shouldn't mind me helping you.” Rachel took a deeper breath. She worried that she would become even more fascinated by Edmund. She had to immediately change the subject. "Where's Sky?" “In the living room.” “She doesn't mind you leaving her alone?” Edmund shook his head. “I gave her a task.” “A task?” Rachel finally looked at him again. While putting the clean plates on the rack, Edmund muttered, “I asked her to find a way to memorize the remaining letters. I've given several word options as instructions. Maybe she's using her crazy imagination to find the correlation now.” Imagining Sky's thoughtful expression, Rachel let out an amused sigh. After drying her hands, she moved to the dish rack next to Edmund. “I never thought Sky could have such a high enthusiasm for learning. All this time, she always wandered around when I asked her to study," Rachel s

“Which is more important? Your ego … or their happiness?” These questions had been haunting Edmund for several hours. Even though he closed his eyes and covered his ears with a pillow, Hunter's voice kept ringing. “Wouldn't they be happier if they came home with me?” he muttered while looking up at the dark ceiling. Previously, Edmund was enthusiastic about imagining his life with Alice and Sky. They would greet him every time he came home from work. They could play together every night, or hang out on weekends. Their house would always be filled with jokes and laughter. But now, doubts lingered on him. “Am I selfish if I want Alice back? Would it be selfish of me to take them away from here?” “What if Sky isn't used to life in the city? What if she prefers to live in the forest? Should I buy a new house in a forest area?” “By returning to that house, will Alice have to face her trauma again? Will she fall again? And if her memory comes back, can I clear up all the misunderstand
Mr. President's Lost Wife 44. What If
“Good morning, Mr. Hills. Have you finished exercising?" Rachel greeted in soft voice, but Edmund flinched. His footsteps slowed down. “Hey, you're awake? How are you feeling?" Rachel immediately looked down embarrassed. “Sorry about last night. I don't understand why I could do that. Maybe I felt guilty because I went against Lucas' rules." Edmund unconsciously gritted his teeth. He didn't want to discuss the matter any more. “It's good that you're fine. Is Sky awake?” "Not yet. Looks like she'll wake up late. I disturbed her sleep last night." “Uncle Ed!” Sky suddenly jumped out of the door. Rachel stared at her wide-eyed. “Honey, why are you awake?” “I can't wait to climb the tree and harvest fruit in the forest, Mama. Today, I can circle all the pictures in my journal!” Sky spread her arms and jumped happily. Edmund smiled sadly seeing her cheerfulness. His fears became more real. Sky loved her house and environment too much. Would she want to move? “Uncle Ed, what are y
Mr. President's Lost Wife 45. His Question
“No, Sky. You can." Edmund held the little shoulder. His eyes looked at her expectantly. “Every chance I get, I can take you and your mother on an adventure. It's just that the place is not in this forest, but in another forest." Biting her lip, Sky met Edmund's gaze from the corner of her eye. After one slow blink, she exhaled. “Please don't be disappointed, Uncle. I can't imagine what it would be like if I moved somewhere else. Every time I joined Papa to work in another country, I always missed this house and forest. I even dreamed about Canis, Felis, Gigi, and Gusi. I think I would be very sad if I left them. My home is here, with Mama and Papa.” Edmund's heart cracked a thousand hearing that answer. He pondered for a moment, looking at Sky with various feelings. "You really love Lucas and your house, hmm?" Sky nodded. “Yeah, he's my Papa all this time. If suddenly you became my Papa, it would be very confusing even though I like you." Edmund blinked wordlessly. His heartache
Mr. President's Lost Wife 46. Her Answer
After a deep consideration, Rachel shook her head. "Sorry, Mr. Hills.""You think she wouldn't?" Edmund concluded in a thin, hoarse voice. His shoulders began to rise and fall, matching the breathing that was too difficult to suppress. "You think my wife wouldn't come home with me? She'd rather stay with her new husband?" Rachel took a deep breath. She actually couldn't bear to see Edmund's face suddenly pale with bloodshot eyes. However, she also didn't dare to give hope that could threaten her family. "Sorry, Mr. Hills. If your wife is happy with her new life, why don't you just let her go? I think ...." Rachel swallowed hard. "It's what's best for you guys. It's what's fairest for everyone." The wound in Edmund's heart was like being splashed with vinegar. His face wrinkled, he was about to grimace but restrained by common sense. "Fairest? I have hoped to be reunited with her for years, then I had to let her go into the arms of another man? You call it fair?" he whispered softl
Mr. President's Lost Wife 47. The Reality
"Uncle Ed, the fruit salad is ready. Let's eat together," Sky shouted as she walked cheerfully towards Edmund's room. Rachel quietly trailed behind. She was worried that Edmund would take out his disappointment on Sky. "Uncle Ed, what are you doing inside? Are you hiding because you're embarrassed?" Sky asked when she arrived at the door. Not getting an answer, she continued, "You don't need to be embarrassed, Uncle. Your eyes were drooping earlier. It's normal for you to hit the door. Come on, come out and eat rujak with me. Uncle Ed?" Feeling that the atmosphere was too quiet, Sky finally opened the door. Finding an empty room, she widened her eyes. "Oh? Where did Uncle Ed go?" Seeing her little daughter looking around, Rachel came out of hiding. "What is it, Honey?" "Mama, have you seen Uncle Ed? He's gone." Rachel's eyebrows arched high. Various assumptions appeared in her head. ‘Was he heartbroken because he failed to get me and Sky so he went away?’Wondering, Rachel che
Mr. President's Lost Wife 48. The Time Left
"I think you're right, Mr. Green. Separating them from their families, and taking them somewhere else is selfish. We should let them be happy in their own homes." Hunter gasped at that statements. When he saw Edmund's red eyes, he finally realized that the man had just been crying. "You've changed your mind?" Hunter sighed, raising an eyebrow. Edmund shifted his gaze towards the gibbon. His eyes dimmed. "I don't want anyone to suffer the same fate as this poor animal. That's why," he handed Hunter a check with five million written on it. "There's nothing more I need to learn from this foundation. It's clear that you guys are doing the right thing. I want to support you all the way." Hunter stared at the numbers with round eyes. Just before he spoke, Edmund interrupted. "Can you prepare transportation for me to go home?" "When?" Hunter asked spontaneously. "Tomorrow morning." Hunter was getting more and more wide-eyed. "That fast?" With a sigh, Edmund stood up. He put the che
