Mr. President's Lost Wife 58. Lucas' Jealousy
"You got hurt because of Lucas. He should be responsible. Since he couldn't possibly take you there, let us do it," Rachel said carefully.In an instant, Sky's eyes widened like the full moon. "Does it mean we're going to town, Mama?" Rachel nodded. Sky immediately jumped up happily. "Hooray! I still have time with Uncle Ed." A moment later, she hugged the man. "Sorry, Uncle Ed. I'm not happy that your head is leaking. It's just that we have more time to chat." Edmund looked at Sky and Rachel alternately. He hesitated. He had been trying to let them go, but why were the two people reluctant to stay away from him? That way, his defense could collapse. His thoughts could change. If that happenned, bigger problems would come. “I appreciate your good intentions, but—” "Mama, why don't we go home now?" Sky interrupted with a burst of enthusiasm. “We have to watch Uncle Ed for 48 hours, right? I have to add more supplies to my backpack." Seeing the big smile on that little face, Edmun
Mr. President's Lost Wife 59. Stupid Mistake
Rachel gasped. Her eyes widened and her lips trembled. Her breath was even held back. "Honey, why is it so sudden? Can't we postpone it to tonight. Now I have to —" "You prefer him over me?" Lucas raised an eyebrow intimidatingly. Rachel swallowed the unspoken words. While forcing her lungs to work again, she tried to reduce the stiffness. "Of course not." "Then sleep with me. Just once. After that, I will believe that you are indeed a faithful wife." Rachel didn't know what to answer anymore. She was afraid that her worries would be revealed. When Lucas started touching her, she could only bite the inside of her lips. When the man started squeezing, she could only blink and control her expression. "Kiss me," Lucas asked in a voice mixed with moaning. Rachel's breath hitched again. The tension in her nerves was no longer inevitable. All this time, it was Lucas who initiated their kiss. Something always stopped her from starting or welcoming. "You don't want to?" His tone im
Mr. President's Lost Wife 60. The Truth Revealed
Lucas tried to take her hand, but Rachel avoided. "Sorry, Lucas. I don't want to endanger myself or Sky. Your condition is unstable right now. Until you regain your sanity, let us keep our distance." "No, Rachel." Lucas hugged her legs. "You are my life. I wouldn't be able to survive without you." Suddenly, Lucas hit his own chest. The sound made Rachel glance over. "I became like this because I was afraid of losing you. I lost my mind because I didn't want you to go with him. It made me almost crazy!" But Rachel still shook her head and looked away. Her eyes grew red. "If you only believed me, you wouldn't think that, Lucas. There would be no misunderstandings and you would stay within limits." "No, Rachel. I believe you. I just don't believe him. He keeps targeting you. He wants to take you and Sky from me. He wants to take away our happiness, Darling." "It's not him who ruined our happiness, Lucas, but your own behavior. Now let me go." "Please ...." Lucas held Rachel's legs
Mr. President's Lost Wife 61. You Have Me to Protect You
"You know what? I felt it was unfair that my wife had to leave so quickly. Our time together was very short. That's why I made you her replacement." After one breath, Lucas took one step forward. "But as time went by, I no longer thought of you as the old Rachel. You were the new Rachel, a different Rachel, and I fell in love with you." A second later, he grabbed Rachel's hand. "Can't you give me a chance? Please ... stay by my side. We can be a real family. My love for you is not an act." Shaking her head, she withdrew her hand. "Sorry, Lucas. I've made up my mind. I don't want to be in your wife's shadow anymore." "No, you don't need to pretend. Just be yourself. You can change your name to whatever you want, as long as you don't change your status as my wife." "Mr. Palmer, please stop making things up," Edmund finally spoke. His expression was now cold and flat. "When did you ever marry her?" Lucas stuttered for a moment. "Shut your mouth! Don't interfere." "The one you mar
Mr. President's Lost Wife 62. Sky's Reaction
Edmund took one step forward, showing his sincerity and seriousness. He really wanted to take Alice's hand, but he held the urge back. "I once promised you that I would be a good husband for you and a good father for our children. But I haven't had the chance to fulfill that. Fate separated us. Now, because we have met again, I hope you are willing to give me the opportunity to make that happen." Alice's eyes filled with tears hearing Edmund. His words felt soothing, giving her a sense of security and trust. "Why are you still looking for me, Mr. Hills? I've been missing for years. You could have forgotten about me and looked for a new wife. But why did you come all this way to get me?" "The answer is simple, Alice. It is as simple as I love you. You may not remember, but I once swore that you were the only woman for me. Without you, I would rather be alone or dead." "Even though I'm a weak woman with a dark past? A coward who wanted to end her life twice?" Alice inquired hoarsel
Mr. President's Lost Wife 63. Sky's Tears
"Maybe someday, we can visit here. But now, we have to go with Uncle Ed," Alice answered softly.Sky looked at Edmund with pursed lips. His heart ached seeing that. "Don't you want to come with me?" he asked carefully. "Do you ... prefer to stay here?" Alice flinched. She didn't expect Edmund to dare to ask that. Things would be complicated if Sky didn't want to move. Luckily, the little girl shook her head. "If you were my Papa, of course Mama and I would have to live with you. We're family. It's just ...." She glanced at Gigi and Gusi behind. Then, she shifted her gaze towards Canis near the stairs, and Felis on the veranda. "Are my animal friends coming along?" Alice sighed in pity. "Sorry, Baby. They can't go with us." "Even Canis?" Alice nodded wordlessly. She didn't want Sky to get more of a picture. It could hurt her. Unfortunately, Sky's tears rolled down. Sky quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand, but her cheeks became even wetter. "It means I have to tell
Mr. President's Lost Wife 64. Cheer Sky Up
"There's no problem, Sky," Edmund said. "I'm fine. Now, why don't you go to the waiting room? I have to get the medicine and finish the administration." Before Edmund could take a step, Alice took the paper in his hand. "Let me take care of it. You and Sky just sit in the waiting room." While Alice came out of the doctor's office, Edmund looked at Sky with a sad look. "Want to go to the park?" Sky's eyebrows furrowed. "Is that okay? Mama asked us to sit in the waiting room. What if she is confused about looking for us later?" Edmund shook his head weakly. "She can see us from the waiting room. The park is nearby." He reached out his hand. "Want to go with me?" Sky nodded. Holding Edmund's index finger, she left the room. At the park, they sat on a long bench under a mango tree. Edmund looked up, looking at the fruit. He thought Sky was doing the same thing, remembering their fun in the forest. But apparently, the little girl was just looking at the photos. "Do you miss them?"
Mr. President's Lost Wife 65. Alice's Dirty Thought
On the way to a hotel, Alice smiled seeing how Edmund stroked Sky's face. The little girl was sleeping on his lap with her mouth opened. "What did you say to her in the park? When I came back, she had been cheerful again. Even when we were shopping and eating, her spirits were bursting. No wonder she became so tired," Alice whispered, making Edmund glance over. "Nothing special. Just a few words of reassurance and promise. I owe Sky a lot," Edmund answered softly. Alice snorted a laugh. "Don't promise something you can't keep, Mr. Hills. If you fail, the consequences could be fatal. Sky will go into a rage and you won't be able to stand her." "I know that. I think she can keep talking for 24 hours. I won't be able to work if that happens."Her laughter tickled Edmund's heart even more. When it subsided, he continued, "But to make that happen, I need your help. Do you mind?" Alice furrowed her brows, curious. "What did you promise?" "I promised to show her lots of new things, tak
