Vivian draped her luxurious silk shawl gently over Fiona's shoulders, "The wind can make the nights quite chilly."
Fiona was a bit irritated but didn't want to cause a scene in public with Vivian."Thank you." She nodded at Vivian, then turned and walked towards her car.Vivian stood there, quite satisfied with herself. The shawl was a gift from Harold. She would send Harold to retrieve it from Chelsea. She was convinced her handsome son would surely charm Chelsea! This unfolding situation could resolve her son's future.Vivian quickly returned to the banquet hall, just in time to see Sophia losing her composure."You've all been deceived by Chelsea, she's a complete villainess, scandalously promiscuous, with a bunch of illegitimate children whose fathers are unknown. I just overheard her on the phone with a man she's keeping!""Rubbish!" Mr. White spent his life in high regard and was embarrassed to hear his granddaughter publicly defame someone. He strode oAfter Fiona arrived home, it was time for the children to go to bed.Chicago was throwing a small tantrum because she didn't want Wendy or Stuart to tell her a bedtime story. When she saw Fiona return, Chicago immediately ran to her. Fiona picked her up and asked, "What's this about being moody again?"Lately, Chicago had been having quite a few of these moods."I wanted to wait for Mommy to come back and tell me a bedtime story." Chicago pouted.Fiona kissed her cheek and turned to Stuart and Wendy, "You two can go rest.""Yes, Ma'am" they said in unison.Fiona carried Chicago upstairs where Charles was already in bed reading a book. Seeing Fiona, he slightly lifted his eyes, "Did the dinner end early?""There was a minor incident, so I took the chance to slip away." Fiona explained as she put Chicago back in bed and kissed Charles' forehead. He didn't seem to react much, but his little feet wiggled twice, obviously happy."This book is about physics
In the following days, Fiona devoted herself completely to perfecting the project for RH Company.Chicago painted, Charles coded, and the family of three stayed busy with their tasks, not getting in each other's way.Until one day at lunchtime, Wendy pushed open the door to Chicago's studio to call her for lunch and discovered that Chicago was gone.At first, Wendy thought Chicago was probably playing somewhere in the house.After searching the house without finding her, the severity of the situation began to sink in.She quickly called for Stuart, and when Stuart realized Chicago was missing, he hurriedly checked the home surveillance.What they saw nearly scared them to death.The footage showed Chicago going to the park at 7:30 am, returning home at 8:40 am, and twenty minutes later, changing her clothes, donning a little hat, and taking her favorite little backpack out the back door."Oh my God! It's been three hours!!" Wendy was on the verge of p
She took a taxi.Initially, the cab driver refused to take her, but after Chicago said she was going to see her dad and offered two crisp bills, he agreed.On the way, Chicago borrowed the driver's phone to call Darwin.But, most likely, because it was an unknown number, there was no answer.The taxi arrived at the Solomon Building.Chicago, holding her kitten, got out of the car and politely said to the driver, "Thank you."The cab driver, smiling warmly, watched Chicago enter the Solomon Building before driving off.As soon as Chicago stepped into the lobby, a security guard approached her."Where did you come from, kid?"Chicago was unlucky, the guard had just found out his daughter, whom he had cherished for years, was the child of his wife and another man.Seeing a child now, the guard was irritated."I'm here to see Darwin!" said Chicago."Get lost!" The guard's face showed impatience.Chicago had never been treated this way
"What is this?" Darwin asked, somewhat puzzled."A very cute kitten!" Chicago exclaimed, "Uncle, do you have kittens at home? Can you help me take care of it?""Won't your mom and dad let you keep a pet?" Darwin inquired.Chicago shook her head, "Charles is not well, we can't have furry animals at home, but I don't want the kitten to become a stray, Uncle..."Chicago looked up with big eyes brimming with tears, giving him a pitiable gaze: "Could you consider adopting a kitten? I'll give all my allowance to Uncle, to buy little dried fish for the kitten to eat."Darwin smiled helplessly. "I can take care of this little cat. However, Chicago, you must promise me that you won't leave home without telling anyone like you did today." he said, his tone slightly stern.Chicago nodded, "I won't do it again."Darwin glanced at the kitten. Scrawny and nearly bald, it looked decidedly unhealthy.At that moment, a text message from Charles came through.
"Chicago, did you remember everything I told you?" Darwin crouched in front of Chicago, straightened her collar and hair."Mhm." Chicago nodded reluctantly, "Uncle, will you visit the kitten every day?""Of course." Darwin nodded, "I'll also take photos and videos to send to your brother for you to see.""You're so kind." Chicago hugged Darwin, "Thank you, Uncle."Darwin gently patted her back: "Be good, go ahead, your brother is waiting.""Goodbye, Uncle." Chicago mumbled."I really want to take Uncle home" thought Chicago.Wendy held Chicago in her arms.Chicago rested her head on her shoulder, facing Darwin, gazing at him longingly.When they reached the nanny car, the door was opened, and Chicago was placed in the safety seat by the door, her view was obstructed.She tried to peek her head out to see.Then, her brother's voice sounded beside her, "Chicago."Chicago timidly looked over."Do you know that you almost scared Wendy
The people quickly shut up.Miss Ford glanced at them.She was previously in sales and did very well.When Tony Potter transferred to the energy company, she, too, was promoted to the position of Vice President of Sales last year due to her outstanding performance.Her relationship with Fiona hadn't been particularly friendly at the beginning, but years had passed.She had always admired Fiona's abilities and regretted that she died young in a plane crash.Over the years, watching Lilian step over what Fiona left behind to become Solomon's Vice President and maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Darwin made Miss Ford very upset.She prided herself on being a good judge of character.Lilian appeared congenial, but Miss Ford saw through her ruse, she would stoop to anything to close a deal, even poaching resources from her colleagues.Miss Ford was certain that this woman was not a good person! She couldn't hold a candle to Fiona."That chi
Lilian's blood seemed to freeze when she saw Chelsea's name.So, had Darwin seen her?This question, heavy like a mountain, came crushing down on her.Soon, Lilian got her answer.On the guest list, there were people Lilian knew. She made a call to one of them under the pretext of discussing business, but eventually, she brought up the golden wedding celebration of the White family."I was actually planning to attend that day too, but some last-minute work came up, so Darwin went by himself," Lilian told the other person.Upon hearing this, they chuckled, "Miss Robbins, you missed quite a drama."Lilian's heart skipped a beat.The voice on the phone continued, "The White couple has always been very dignified, but at their golden wedding celebration, their own granddaughter, out of jealousy, decided to pick a fight with Miss Rhoads from the Rhoads family, and the party ended in discord.""Rhoads family? Do you mean Chelsea?" Lilian's other hand cle
"Where are Charles and Chicago? Haven't they woken up yet?"Janna was still holding a suitcase, and without asking, one would know that besides her luggage, the suitcase undoubtedly contained gifts for Charles and Chicago.Almost every time, Janna did the same thing.As they were talking, Charles came downstairs, shuffling in his slippers.Seeing Janna, Charles froze. He had originally planned to fly away tonight.Now that he had seen Grandma Janna, it seemed he might not be able to leave.Janna ran towards Charles and scooped him up in a hug.She smothered his face with kisses, "I've missed my precious so much, haven't seen you for so long!"After showering him with several more kisses, Charles called out to Grandma Janna and then looked at Fiona.His eyes were filled with a silent plea, "Help!!"Fiona couldn't help but laugh through her tears.After 'saving' her son, she said, "Go and get Chicago. She's probably still lying in bed, refus
