Sky blinked innocently. "Yeah, I managed to fix the buttons on my shirt. Look, Mama. There are no missed buttons now. I'm cool and neat."

Alice smiled faintly. "What about your grandmother? What were you talking about earlier?"

"Grandma is not fierce, Mama. She didn't praise me. She accepted the brooch I gave her and thanked me. I think that's a good start," Sky raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly.

"Is it true?" Alice stared in disbelief.

Sky nodded lightly. "Yeah, we even plan to play together if she has time later."

Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually worried that Elizabeth would treat Sky harshly.

"Well, I'm glad your mission was successful. Now Mama and Uncle Ed still have to prepare. How about you wait inside?"

"Okay, Mama."

Sky entered the room cheerfully. Unbeknownst to her, the special brooch she had given Elizabeth was already lying on the floor. The servant who saw it quickly picked i

    Unfortunately, Giselle was not afraid. She kept staring at Alice, patting her own chest. "I'm Giselle, your best friend. You can't possibly forget me, right? We've done a lot of things together." Edmund snorted lightly. "Friend? If you really considered Alice a friend, you wouldn't have the heart to stab her in the back." While Giselle sighed in disbelief, Alice shook her head in confusion. "What do you mean, Ed? What did she ever do to me?" Edmund glanced over his shoulder. "She conspired with my mother to separate us." "I never conspired with your mother!" Giselle argued firmly. "I really don't understand why you accused me of that. Even until this moment, I'm still wondering why you fired me. Weren't I the perfect secretary? What did I do wrong?" "You were Edmund's secretary?" Alice sighed thinly. Giselle moved her gaze again. "Yeah. Did you forget? The four of us spent a lot of time together growing the company. You two, me

    "Because of that, Mama, you can't be sad anymore." Sky stroked Alice's face gently. "Uncle Ed and you have been back together. Don't worry about that evil woman. If she comes again, I will throw a stone at her." Hearing Sky's steady voice, Alice shook her head swiftly. "No, Honey. You can't do that. What if the stone hits her head? You could go to jail." Suddenly, Sky chuckled in amusement. "Don't worry, Mama. I can't be that bad. I'm a good kid. At most, I'll scold her and throw her out like Uncle Ed did earlier." Alice smiled wryly realizing that she had been fooled by Sky's play. But thanks to her daughter's prank, the pain in her head reduced a lot. Edmund was also amused with Sky. However, there were more important things to discuss than that. "Sky, can you help Mama?" Edmund rubbed her little shoulder. "Please get her a drink from the dispenser over there. Press the blue button and be careful. Don't spill it."

    Elizabeth snorted sarcastically. "Just wait for my command. When the time comes, I'll make sure her heart is completely broken. No miracle can make her strong." Giselle nodded slightly. "Okay. I'll look forward to that. Remember, Mrs. Hills. This time, I don't want to fail. I've been fighting for Edmund for too long. My patience has its limit." "You think you're the only one who wants to succeed. I want it much more. I'm sick of being underestimated by my friends. When you become my daughter-in-law, you have to shut them up. Understand?" Giselle smiled crookedly. "You don't need to worry about that, Mrs. Hills. Once you become my mother-in-law, no one will dare to underestimate you. Your friends will actually be jealous because you have the best daughter-in-law in the world." ***Sky was stunned when she entered the room behind the reception area partition. Her eyes sparkled at the artificial plants arranged like a rainforest. "Uncle Ed

    "You don't need to feel guilty, Alice. We can practice. How about we start tonight?" Edmund sighed.Alice stole a glance. Her cheeks started to turn red. "L-later tonight?" "Too soon? How about tomorrow night? Next week? Next month?" Alice's heart pounded even more. "I think tonight will be fine too." Edmund's breath hitched. His blood rushed south. He didn't expect Alice to take his bait. Before anything untoward happened, he dissolved his imagination. "Okay, I'll wait for night to come. But before that, I have to finish my work first. Let's take Sky to the second floor. We can't dawdle any longer." Alice smiled seeing Edmund's enthusiasm. She let him take her hand. She herself couldn't deny that she was also enthusiastic about welcoming their night. However, upon arriving at the second floor, they were forced to slow down. Scott and several employees greeted them with confetti and cheers.

    Instead of being happy, Sky's brows furrowed. "What about Uncle Scott? Isn't he your assistant?" "Don't worry, Sky. I won't get fired. Your father is just looking for an excuse to stay with your mother." Edmund glanced at Scott. His friend quickly raised both hands. "Okay, sorry. I didn't mean to tease. Just stating an opinion. Now, how about I accompany you around, Sky?" "Sorry, Uncle Scott. Uncle Ed promised to be my guide today." Sky took Edmund's finger and smiled sweetly. "That's right. Let me show Sky and Alice around. You and the others go back to work. Thank you for your warm welcome." Scott took a deep breath. "Okay. Then, have fun. Sky, keep an eye on your parents. Don't leave them alone." While Edmund and Alice pointed their gazes at Scott, Sky tilted her head. "Why can't I leave them alone?" "Sky, how about we start touring now?" Edmund stood up and held her tiny hand. "Okay, but my question still ha

    Edmund sighed in amusement. "How did you know that mine's big? You couldn't possibly forget all your past and only remember that, right?" Alice blinked. "No, that's not it. I don't remember about it either. It's just that, when we were sleeping at the hotel, I could feel it behind me." "You're so ridiculous, Alice." Edmund could no longer contain his amusement. His laughter made Alice pensive. "Ridiculous?" "You know? You used to be so excited about our first night. Now why are you shy?" Alice grimaced. Actually, what's running in her head was the opposite of what she said. She just didn't want Edmund to play fast because it could potentially make her go crazy. Sky might have a younger sibling 40 weeks later. "I don't know either. Maybe because I haven't done it for a long time, I feel awkward. But you don't mind playing gently, right?" Edmund smiled crookedly. The look in his eyes was now a bit mysterious. "Whatever you ask, I

    "Uncle Ed, has my desk arrived?" Sky asked while walking excitedly beside Edmund. "I don't know. Would you be disappointed if your desk hasn't arrived yet?" Sky's lips pursed. "No. I just want to prepare myself. If I suddenly saw my desk, I would be very surprised. I would definitely cheer and jump up and down. The employees might be disturbed by me." Edmund smiled faintly. "If you're really happy, just cheer. No one will be bothered. People will actually smile because your voice is so cute." "Really? Then I'll scream as loud as I can when the desk arrives." "Honey?" Alice stroked her daughter's head. Sky looked up and chuckled. "Calm down, Mama. I was just joking. I'm a wise kid." "Then Sky, could you help me for a moment?" Edmund asked at the door of his room. Sky also stopped. "What do I need to do, Uncle Ed?" Edmund pointed to the door next to Scott's room. "There's a document I need to sign over there. Can

    Subconsciously, a faint sigh escaped Alice's mouth. She realized that she had to escape immediately if she didn't want to go crazy. "Sorry, Ed. I've given you a chance last night, but you sold it hard. Now's not the right time for that. If you still want to discuss it, let's continue tonight." Alice tried to move, but Edmund held her again. "Are you sure you can hold it in until tonight?" Alice froze. She was worried that doubt would be reflected in her movements. "Yes, of course." "Then how about we just warm up? One kiss is enough. We can continue the rest tonight." Alice raised her forehead. Her eyes were occasionally attracted to Edmund's lips, as if there was a great magnetic force coming from there. "How?" Unconsciously, Alice brought her head forward. As his heart tingled, Edmund was ready to welcome her. But one inch from his lips, Alice suddenly stopped. "Sorry, Ed. We have to be professional.

    "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

    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

    "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

    "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
