"Thank you for your immense support. It is much appreciated."
Chapter 95 “What is this?” Ella asked when Daniel handed her a golden, well-decorated card that seemed to be an invitation. “It is an invitation card to our annual company celebration dinner. I want you to attend as my plus one.” “Hmm. I remember that I once attended when Grandpa was still alive but I can’t even remember how it was conducted.” “Just a few boring speeches and awarding the employees of the year.” “Okay. I wonder when my company would also be able to hold such functions.” Daniel hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, “Don’t worry. I am pretty sure that next year, you will be able to hold one. It has only been a few months since you established it and it is already doing so great.” Ella smiled lightly, “Thank you, darling, for your confidence in me.” “Can I request something from you?” Daniel asked. Although he knew that Ella would never refuse any of his requests, he still wanted to get his opinion. “What is it?” He cleared his throat and stated, “At this year’
Chapter 96 Ella and Daniel were the last to get out of the car. They were wearing matching outfits and Ella’s baby bump was visible. Her beauty took everyone’s breath away and the reporters were madly snapping photos. “Wow, I have to admit that in this entire city, I have not seen such a beautiful family. The cuteness is just too much.” Someone commented. “Look, our Madam Boss is pregnant again. Our boss doesn’t really like wasting time, right?” Daniel’s employees laughed at the statement. Some emotional people were already shedding tears just looking at the family that seemed to have walked out of an ancient painting. Ella held Daniel’s hand as she smiled at the camera and waved her hand. Seeing everything, she looked at the man’s side profile and smiled. She whispered in his ear, “Don’t you think that this is too much?” When Daniel heard that, he turned to look at his wife’s angelic face and his face broke into a happy smile. The smile made him appear even more handsome and it
Chapter 97 “Sandra, will you marry me?” The question came as a surprise to everyone, especially Sandra. She looked at Tony with wide eyes as tears streamed down her face. Was this man for real? They have not been in a relationship for even three months and he was already proposing? Her mind was confused and for a moment, she did not know what to do as she remained standing stiff as if she had been hit by lightning. Tony looked at her nervously. He knew that he had popped the question too soon but he was just following his heart. He realized that any moment he was with Sandra, the world would always be so beautiful that he would not want to let go of her for even a second. She was not scheming nor was she after his money. She was smart, understanding, beautiful, and above all, she loved him. He had wasted so much time on a fake relationship and he did not want to waste a single minute after coming across the real thing. He wanted to make Sandra his, and his alone. No one should c
Chapter 98 “I can’t believe that it is already Christmas,” Ella said excitedly as she looked at the decorations going around the house. Daniel hugged her from behind and nodded, “Time has gone really fast. Another year has come to an end just like that.” “There was a time that me and the kids could not even afford a Christmas tree. Looking at their excited faces now, fills my heart with joy.” “I am sorry, it was all my fault.” Ella turned around and looked at the man. “Why are you apologizing? That was in the past. This is going to be one of the best Christmas for me and the kids.” “Are you happy?” “Absolutely. I have so much to be grateful for this year, how could I not be happy?” “I am glad that you are happy.” Paul and Jane came over in the evening. Ella had also invited Tony and Sandra, so the house was fully loaded. They say that celebrating Christmas with your family and loved ones was the best feeling, and that was probably true. The only thing that could be heard in t
Chapter 99 A few weeks later at the City Hospital… Daniel was gently rubbing Ella’s back as she whined in pain. His face was filled with worry and he wished that he was the one going through the pain, instead of his wife. “Doc, it has been like this for three days, what is going on?” Daniel looked at the doctor and asked coldly. That was right, Ella had been in labor for three whole days. Daniel had taken her to Paul’s clinic, but after seeing that the complication was beyond his knowledge and equipment, he told Daniel to take her to the hospital. The doctor rubbed his nose in exasperation when he heard Daniel. “Master Edmond, your wife wants to have a natural birth and there is nothing we can do about it. If she was willing, we would have already operated on her.” “No.” Ella shook her head. She better endure the pain than be operated on. “What do you want, honey? I can’t bear to see you like this.” Daniel gently said. His heart was practically bleeding at the moment. Ella loo
Chapter 100 Ella held the little girl in her arms and her face was filled with gentleness and warmth. She looked at Daniel and tried to hand him the baby. Daniel shook his head, “She is so tiny. I am afraid that I might squash her with my strength.” Ella did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. Newborns are always tiny. It was hectic to take care of them, but as parents, some things just came naturally. “Come on, give it a try. If you miss this chance, you will definitely regret it when she is all grown up.” Daniel could never refuse any of Ella’s requests. Although he did not know what to do, he stretched out his long arms and Ella passed him the baby. The moment he held her in his arms, Daniel felt a strange feeling that he had never felt before bubble in his chest. He looked at the little girl whose eyes were closed, and a warm and fuzzy feeling filled his heart. He gently carried her, afraid that he might squeeze her to death if he applied any pressure. Ell
Chapter 101 Three months passed by in a blink of an eye and everyone could not wait to find out baby D’s name. The quintuplets had tried everything they could but, they had not been able to crack the mystery. Carl had even created a software, designed specifically for name search, but even after a million searches, they had not been able to tell baby D’s name. And today also happened to be Daniel’s birthday, so the combined celebration made the mood in the Edmond family joyous. They had moved to a bigger and spacious penthouse that could accommodate fifteen people, and they were overexcited. These past three months have been a roller coaster for Ella. Baby D was not as obedient as the quintuplets, when they were young, and although she had Daniel to help her take care of their baby girl, she still felt exhausted each day. They had even employed a few nannies, but that little girl was not easily coaxed. Like yesterday night, she had spent the better half of the night crying. They
Chapter 102 People were already making connections as they waited for the host family. They were amazed by Daniel’s luxurious penthouse and they could not help but click their tongues in admiration. “This must have cost a fortune.” “I remember that when this land was put up on a lease, I was among the bidders. We were not many as people thought that it was too secluded. But Mister Edmond offered to pay triple the price without even blinking.” “At that time, I even thought that he was just throwing away money, but looking at how he had transformed the once barren land into a beautiful home, I have to say that I would not have been able to do it, even if I had gotten the land.” “This house is so big and beautiful. He must have spent a fortune here.” “Well, the man himself is filthy rich, and maybe this is nothing to him.” As they were conversing, Daniel came in with Ella holding his arm intimately. The firstborns were leading the way as their parents followed. The family of seven
