"Y-yes. It's me," Alice answered stiffly.Suddenly, the man pinched her cheeks with both hands. He examined Alice's face from various angles, looking for something there."You're not another woman in disguise, right? Your face isn't the result of plastic surgery?"After taking a deep breath, Edmund waved his hand. "Scott, enough. You're making my wife uncomfortable. Back off."Instead of walking away, Scott hugged Alice, jumping up and down. His laughter overflowed with tears. "Alice, you're finally back. Oh, thank God. This is the greatest miracle of my life!"While Alice grimaced to fake a smile, Edmund struggled to pull Scott back. However, Scott still felt at home hugging Alice. He even made her sway like a penguin with him."Uncle Ed, who is he? Is he the driver who picked us up?"Hearing that sweet voice, Scott finally let go of theRelated chapters

Sky was stunned to see the magnificent building in front of her. She sighed, "Uncle Ed, you live in the palace?" Edmund smiled slightly. "Yes, I live in the most beautiful palace in the world because you are the princess." Sky laughed lightly. "I don't have a dress and a crown, Uncle Ed. How could I be the princess? All I have is a backpack and a journal." "Yes, you are, Sky. You are a princess who changed the world. You have your own style and it's very cool. Now," Edmund held out his hand, "are you ready to see our palace?" Sky grabbed his index finger. "Yeah!" Then, Edmund turned his head to the side. He offered his other elbow. "You ready?" Alice blinked. She stopped looking around, fixed her gaze on Edmund. "Yes." She awkwardly linked her hand to his muscular biceps. Together, they stepped inside. As soon as they passed through the door, Sky got amazed again. "Wow, Uncle Ed, this really is a palace!"
Mr. President's Lost Wife 73. Emma and Henry
"Sometimes, I pray that you're safe from the river. Sometimes, I pray that you're at peace up there. And occasionally, I cursed you because you broke your promise. How could you disappear like that? Weren't you serious when you said that promise? " The curve of Alice's lips turned stiff. She glanced at Edmund, asking for clue. Before the man had time to give a code, Emma had hit her lightly on the arm. "You promised to be my bridesmaid!" As Emma grimaced in annoyance, Alice grabbed her hand. "Sorry, I myself can't understand what I did before. But, you and Henry are still married, right?" Emma wiped her eyes and gave a limited nod. "I did. Two years ago. And you weren't there." "Even though I didn't attend your wedding, my prayers and support are still with you. Congratulations, Emma. Sorry if I said it very late." Emma shook her head quickly. "Better late than never. I'm grateful you're still alive. Don't disappear again becau
Mr. President's Lost Wife 74. Alice's Dark Side
"That's a good idea," Alice said quietly. "You don't want to come with me and Sky? This is your first day back here. It would be more fun if we went around together," Edmund whispered. "Uncle Ed, I think it's okay if Mama choose Aunt Emma. They haven't seen each other for a long time. They must have a lot of stories to talk about, like me and my animal friends." Hearing the defense, Edmund could no longer complain. Smiling again, he took Sky around with Henry and Mrs. Klein. "Alice, how about we go to our place? We can chat while eating biscuits and drinking tea, like the old days." Alice nodded slightly. After Emma conveyed her request to a servant, they went to the north pavilion. "So, how are you doing all this time?" Emma asked as they sat opposite each other at a round table. Alice blinked awkwardly. She wasn't sure how much Emma had heard from Edmund. Lowering her head, she answered, "I lived in a conservation area in the
Mr. President's Lost Wife 75. Ed's Bedroom
"This is a really cool room, Honey. Do you like it?" Alice rubbed her daughter's head."I really like it!" Sky jumped a few times before pointing down. "Mama, look at this." Alice looked down. It turned out that they were stepping on a brown carpet that curved to form a path. "If we follow it," Sky walked quickly, "we'll come to the wardrobe, bookshelf, study table, tent, and my bed! I really can't wait to climb up there." Sky pointed to the top level where a folding table and a small window were located. "Then if we continue, we'll come to a special window for scouting, a toy box, and a giant map." Sky stretched out her arms on the side of the wall where all the continents lay. "This is my favorite part, Mama. Uncle Ed and I plan to mark all the cool places with stars, just like what we did with my globe. Only, this one is bigger! I really like my room!" Sky pressed herself against the wall, spreading her arms as wide a

Alice shook her head. While expanding her lungs, she straightened her shoulders. "I'm not sad, but touched. I just found out that you really love me. I regret doing something stupid and disappearing for five years." "Hey," Edmund moved to touch her arm, "it has passed. There's no point in regretting. The important thing is, you're here. We can be together again." Sky nodded with pouting lips. "Uncle Ed is right. The important thing is, we are together again. Stop crying, Mama." Alice took a deep breath, trying to relieve her tightness. When her breathing calmed, Edmund asked, "Do you want me to hug you?" Alice blinked. After a brief moment of contemplation, she nodded. Edmund embraced her very gently. "It's okay, Alice. Everything is fine." Alice could only close her eyes, soaking in the warmth that she had always avoided. At that moment, Sky got out of the chair and hugged her too. "Don't be sad, Mama. We are much luck
Mr. President's Lost Wife 77. Tempting Husband
Either because he didn't hear or he was already asleep, Edmund didn't answer. Alice had to call louder. "Ed?" Edmund finally opened his eyes. "Yes? Do you need anything?" "Why are you sleeping there?" Edmund blinked. "I think you will feel more comfortable and safe if we sleep separately." Alice bit her lip. Her eyes darted around looking for the right angle. "This bed is wide. I think it won't be a problem if you sleep here too. We can make a barrier out of pillows." "Are you sure? I don't have a problem sleeping here. This couch is also comfy." "But your space is limited," Alice interrupted awkwardly. After gulping, she began to build the barrier. "Sleep over there." Edmund considered it for a moment. "What if I accidentally move the pillow and hug you? I might dirty your pants again." Edmund said the sentence casually. However, Alice felt awkward. "N-no problem. I can wash it tomorrow." Edmund
Mr. President's Lost Wife 78. Sweet Kiss
"What do you want to do?" Alice pretended to be innocent. Edmund's eyes narrowed. He brushed away the hair covering her shoulder. The hairs on her nape bristled at his light touch. "Can I taste you a bit?" "A bit?" Edmund smiled mischievously. "Yes, but I won't give Sky a younger sibling yet. Is that okay?" Alice's heartbeat quickened. She could no longer count them. If she allowed Edmund, would her blood still flow to the brain? Could she maintain common sense? "Okay." Alice was startled by her own answer. She was about to say no, but why did her lips say yes instead? Before Alice had time to correct her decision, Edmund had already approached her. Not knowing what else to do, she finally closed her eyes. Her hands were clenched tightly in front of her chest, ready to face the big explosion in her heart. But when Edmund's lips arrived, her tension faded. Warmth had mixed with confusion. When she opened her eyes

Edmund and Alice gasped when they heard the whistle. They immediately crawled out of the tent. The tension only faded when they saw Sky standing with her hands on her hips. "Mama, Uncle Ed, come on, get up. We have to go to the office this morning. We can't be late. Let's get ready!" She blew the whistle again. Her style was like that of a scout troop commander. Alice and Edmund smiled amusedly at her behavior. "Honey? I think you're getting too excited. It's still too early." "Is it true?" Sky glanced at the wall clock. Not understanding the meaning, she pursed her lips. "But I've been up since earlier, Mama. I've washed my face and brushed my teeth. That means it's not too early." Alice widened her eyes at that confession. "Who helped you?" "No one. I did it myself. The ladder that Uncle Ed provided was very helpful. I like that ladder." Edmund smiled slightly at Sky's chatter. "You're really independent, apparently."

"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

"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

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

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
