After sending Nia to school, Meredith was also ready to leave the Shelby Mansion.Josiah finally came out of the room, stopped her, and said, "Edith, where are you going?""Going home, where else can I go?" Meredith looked at him, tears gradually forming in her eyes. "Mister Josiah, thank you for helping to take care of Charlie's funeral, and thank you for taking care of me. I should go back."Hearing her alienating words, Josiah felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.Knowing that she would not readily agree, he still said, "Edith, Charlie is no longer here. You can treat this place as your home in the future."Even if you don't care about me, there's still Nia."Meredith shook her head gently. "Josiah, how thick-skinned do I have to be to immediately turn to another man's arms after the death of my husband?"She paused, then smiled bitterly. "You should have cleaned up a lot of the gossip on the internet, right? But what's the use? Today's internet is so developed, how much
That was the mansion where she and Charlie lived together.Although she did not live long enough, and the days she lived there were not happy, it belonged to her and Charlie's past after all.Through the carved door, she could even see the sunflowers in the conservatory blooming bright.That was the sunflower that Charlie took care of himself!Now that Charlie was gone, how long will they stay bright?Josiah parked the car at the door of the mansion, looked sideways at the tears on her face, and said distressedly, "Edith, if you look like this, how can I leave you alone?""I'm fine." Meredith sniffed and wiped the tears from her face with her hands.She pushed open the car door and got out of the car, then turned to look at him. "Thank you, it's time for you to go back."Josiah did not leave, but watched her go in.Meredith pressed the password device several times, but it showed that the password was incorrect. She paused, pressed it again, and the system locked her out.She
Although Josiah did not think Mrs. Larson would agree to it, the most important thing was to appease Meredith right now.He patted her on the shoulder. "Okay, let's go back first.""Go back? Where to go?" Meredith asked with tears in her eyes, "This is my home, where else can I go?""Go back…to Nia."In order to take care of her emotions, he did not dare to say that he would go back to him, but instead said that he would go back to Nia.Meredith shook her head. "No, I'm not going back."She did not want to go back to his house!In this way, Charlie will be unhappy, Mrs. Larson will blame her, and thousands of netizens will despise her."Josiah, you should go. Don't disturb me here." She pushed Josiah into the car and said anxiously, "Charlie doesn't like you coming here, it's what he hated the most!"How could Josiah leave her here alone?He grabbed her wrist and said, "Meredith, calm down. You can't even enter the gate now, so what are you going to do here? Are you going to
Throwing this sentence away, he got into the car.As the car started slowly, Meredith buried her face and cried in grief.With so many reporters around, she could not even stay at the gate of the mansion.Josiah gently embraced her in his arms to comfort her. "Edith, you don't need to care about those malicious words. They are clearly intentional."Meredith cried silently. How could she not care?After all, what they said was right. Charlie was dragged down by her and died because of her.This was not a fact that Josiah could change by kicking people away.Compared with earlier, when he kicked and scolded the reporters, he was a completely different person. He was so gentle that one could drown in his tenderness.Even his tone was soft like water. "Edith, I know you are feeling very sad right now. Trust me, everything will be fine."However, even so, his comfort was meaningless to Meredith.Until the car stopped, Goldie's voice came from outside the car. "Miss Meredith, are y
Goldie hurriedly said, "Miss Meredith, don't do this. It's all in the past."She paused for a while before continuing, "Miss Meredith, the company is in a mess right now. You have to cheer up quickly."Meredith nodded lightly. "Okay, I will."Of course, she knew that the company was in a mess, and Josiah could not help at the moment.She stood up from the sofa, trembling. "Goldie, I'm going to take a rest. I'll have to trouble you with the company.""Okay, Miss Meredith, hurry up and get a good night's sleep."Meredith had slept for three days in a row, and she did not feel sleepy at all, but she still lay on the bed.She just wanted to lie down quietly and not be disturbed by anyone.After lying down for a long time, she finally fell asleep.When she woke up, it was the next morning.She smelled the oatmeal porridge.Seeing her coming out of the bedroom, Goldie greeted her and said, "Miss Meredith, are you awake? Are you hungry?"Meredith looked around, the house was so bi
Meredith originally thought that she killed Charlie, and when she saw such a horrifying photo, she felt even more guilty and nervous.Goldie finally helped Meredith to the bed. Seeing that she could not calm down for a long time, she had to pick up her mobile phone and call Josiah.Besides Josiah, she did not know who to turn to for help.As soon as Josiah heard that Meredith had been pranked, he immediately got up and left the office, and while walking, he instructed Mister Wesley to investigate the culprit behind the prank.Mister Wesley agreed and went to do it immediately.When Josiah arrived at the apartment, Meredith was still shivering in the corner of the bed."Edith, what's wrong with you?" Josiah stretched out his hand and pulled her out of the corner of the bed. He put her in his arms and comforted her gently. "It's alright, I'm here.""No!"Meredith did not accept his tenderness, but pushed him away, staring at him fiercely with tears in her eyes. "Don't come here!
Seeing her like this, how could Josiah leave?He nodded. "Okay, as long as you calm down, I promise I'll leave right away."Meredith tucked herself into the quilt. Josiah could see that she really wanted to calm herself down, but her slightly trembling body showed that she could not calm down at all.Josiah sighed helplessly and said, "Edith, can I ask Nia to come over to accompany you?""No!" Meredith refused.She did not want Nia to see her inhuman appearance, and she did not want to make Nia sad."Then I'll ask Lily to come to accompany you," Josiah said.With a few familiar people by her side, perhaps she will feel better.Now that he thought about it, Josiah was shocked to realize that Meredith, who was once admired by all the stars, did not even have a friend who could talk to her today.Thinking of this, he felt more distressed. He wanted to stay and accompany her.However, Meredith begged him, saying, "Josiah, let go. Please stay away from me."She did not need anyon
"Goldie, I want to go see Charlie.""..." Goldie was stunned for a while, then asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to see Mister Charlie?""Today is Charlie's birthday.""Oh…"Meredith said to herself, "I feel that I don't have the right to face him. I'm afraid that he'll still hate me.""Miss Meredith, how can you talk about yourself like this?" Goldie comforted. "Mister Josiah is right. Mister Charlie saved you because he loves you and hopes you can live a happy life. If you think like this, all it will do is wipe out his good intentions and make him unhappy."Meredith smiled bitterly. "It is because of his love and affection for me that I have no right to see him.""Miss Meredith, if you want to go, then go see him. I'll go with you.""No need, I'll just go by myself."Meredith stood up from the bench and silently walked toward the gate."Miss Meredith, are you going like this?" Goldie looked at her back in amazement.At this time, Meredith was wearing home cloth
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Liam pulled Ivy into the bathroom to take a bath together.Ivy allowed him to take off her clothes and pulled her to stand under the water.Liam helped her take a bath and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?""It's not bad." Ivy said, "I didn't expect your parents to welcome me so warmly."Liam looked at her proudly, with the water still flowing down from his head. "Of course! You should thank the guy that has good taste. How can they dislike a girl of my choosing?"Ivy smiled and said, "Okay, previously...""Don't mention the previous things, let them pass." Liam interrupted her.Ivy was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, it's all over.""Yes. From now on, there is only happiness." Liam lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and kissed her lips……Meredith and Josiah listened in shock to Liam and Ivy's story, while watching the three children chasing and making trouble outside the floor-to-ceiling window.They were all
Ivy raised her hand and touched the top of Siena's hair. "God treated me well, and gave me back my daughter, and also gave me the child's father.""No, you're wrong." Liam smiled and said, "God treated me well and sent the child and the child's mother back to my arms.""Oh, spare me." Madam Sheldon shook her head unbearably.Madam Sheldon finally believed that Siena was her own granddaughter.She excitedly hugged Siena into her arms, and she burst into tears with joy. "Great, our Sheldon family finally has a granddaughter! Great!""Grandma, you like Siena, right?" Siena asked sweetly."Nonsense! Of course, Grandma likes Siena. Grandma has always dreamed about a little grandson or a little granddaughter." Madam Sheldon choked as she said.Liam and Ivy looked at each other and smiled.After hugging Siena excitedly for a while, Madam Sheldon released her, and looked at her again. "Now that you mentioned it, she looks a lot like Liam. Look at her nose, her ears...right? Am I righ
"You even helped me get dressed before you left!" Liam pinched her chin. "Ivy, aren't you embarrassed saying these things?""You asked me.""...""If I didn't help you get dressed, you might be so stupid that you don't even know that you slept with someone, right?""Ivy!" Liam gritted his teeth. "You stole my seed, and you dare to laugh at me for being stupid?""Isn't it stupid?" Ivy was not afraid of him. She raised an eyebrow at him deliberately. "Liam, think about it. Were you being stupid that night?"Liam was silent.Yes, he was really stupid.He was so stupid that he was too embarrassed to admit it. He did not even have the face to mention it in front of Josiah.Looking at the woman in front of him, he wanted to laugh and be mad at the same time.He did not want to say anything. He just wanted to use actions to prove how angry he was, how excited, happy, and...Countless emotions were intertwined in his body, causing him to bow his head and kiss her lips fiercely.Ivy
"Okay, I'm sorry." Ivy got up and walked around in front of him, sitting on his lap and hugging his neck with a smile. "Do I need to make up for you as well? Say sorry to you?""Yes, of course.""I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. I shouldn't have kept the news about Siena's from you until now, okay?""Do you think I'll let you off with just that?" Liam was not satisfied."Then what do you want?""The rest will be paid in the evening.""Okay, double compensation," Ivy responded generously.Hearing her say that, Liam was extremely satisfied.He did not mind his daughter's presence at all. He instructed her, "Siena, turn around, I'm going to kiss Mommy.""Why can't I see you kiss Mommy?" Siena was puzzled."Because your Mommy will be shy.""Oh, okay then." Siena turned around wisely."I'm not shy, it's you who is shy." Ivy held Liam's handsome face and kissed him on the lips.Liam was moved for a second, and when he tried to dee
The adoptive parents expressed their understanding. They waved their hands and said, "It's alright. If it were me, I'd be crying happy tears too.""Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, you don't have to be so polite. Otherwise, we will be even more embarrassed," the adoptive father said.The adoptive mother held Siena, who seemed a little lost. She pulled Siena in front of Ivy and said softly, "Siena, I'm sorry, Mommy never told you that Ivy is your biological mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Really? Is Mommy Ivy my biological mother? Did she give birth to me?""Yes. Mommy wouldn't just pass you to a random stranger, right?" The adoptive mother smiled and said, "Siena, you will be able to spend time with your biological mommy in the future. Isn't that great?"Siena nodded, then stretched out her palm and gently stroked Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my biological mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly pulled Siena into her embrace."
Siena's adoptive parents expressed that they understood. They waved their hands and said, "It's fine. If it were me, we would cry happy tears too." "Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, don't say such a thing. If not, we will be even more embarrassed," Siena's adoptive father said.Siena's adoptive mother pulled Siena, who did not know much about what was happening, over to Ivy's side and gently said, "Siena, I'm sorry. I have never told you that Ivy is your real Mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Are you serious? Mommy Ivy is my real Mommy? The one that gave birth to me?""Yes, if not, how could I simply give you to any other person?" Siena's adoptive mother said with a smile, "In the future, you will be living with your real Mommy. Are you happy?"Siena nodded before reaching her hand out and touching Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my real Mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly hugged her."Darling, I have been looking for you for s
Siena's adoptive parents looked at each other and smiled.The kitchen was calling them to take their seats.Liam got up and said, "Come, let's eat and talk."Then, he said to Siena, "Siena, go get Daddy and Mommy to eat. They must be hungry."Siena happily brought her adoptive parents to take their seats. The dinner was in the garden. They ate and talked at the same time. The entire process was pleasant.Toward the end, Siena's adoptive mover suddenly got up and walked over to Ivy. She looked at her deeply and said after a while, "Ivy, there is a secret I have been hiding from you for a very long time.""What is it?" Ivy saw how serious she was. She could not help but feel the severity of it."Siena…" Siena's adoptive mother paused for a while before saying, "Siena is the baby that you have been looking for all these years."Ivy was stunned. Liam was stunned too.Ivy was feeling uneasy. Blood was rushing to her head. Shock, delight, surprise, excitement, all of the emotions ga
Ivy heard what Liam said and looked out at the door.When she saw that it was Siena's adoptive parents, she was instantly stunned."They are the guests that you mentioned?""Yes." Liam stood next to her and smiled. He said, "They said they hoped that they could see Siena one more time.""Is that so? That's great." Ivy held Siena's hand and walked out.Outside the door, Siena's adoptive parents were extremely friendly. "Hello! Ivy! Haven't seen you in a while!""Hello." Ivy welcomed them. "Welcome."They looked at Siena behind Ivy. "Hello, Siena. It's been a while."Siena was so anxious she was almost in tears. She said with reddened eyes, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to!"Seeing how Siena was against them, they looked awkward. From there, one could infer how irresponsible they were of their adopted daughter previously.Ivy ruffled Siena's head and said softly in her ears, "Siena, don't be afraid. Your adoptive parents are here to send you off because you're about to
Ivy cleared her throat. She ruffled Siena's head. "Don't listen to your Daddy. How could I be tired? Furthermore, taking care of you is the happiest and proudest thing I have ever done.""Really? Mommy, you really like me that much?""I do."Siena laughed happily."Let's go. We'll head home." Ivy held Siena's hand and they walked under the sycamore tree."Mommy, has Daddy gone back?""Not yet," Ivy said, "Daddy said he wants to give us a surprise.""Oh, that's great. I don't want Daddy to leave us.""Why? Do you like Daddy?""I do." Siena nodded. "Also, with Daddy here, you will be much happier. I like to see you being happy."Ivy saw Siena's face under the sun. She could not help but be moved. Siena was too understanding and caring.She suddenly thought of her own daughter. If she was still around, she would be Siena's age. She wondered whether she was as caring as Siena.At that thought, the smile on her face faded a little."Mommy, look! There are two birds!" Siena sudd
