"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
"Goodbye, Daddy." Nia waved his little hand at him.Josiah turned around and went out quickly.When Josiah arrived at the hospital, Meredith had already woken up.The doctor looked at Josiah, who was very anxious, and immediately said to comfort him, "Mister Josiah, don't worry, Miss Meredith is just in a coma caused by low blood sugar. She's alright.""Just low blood sugar?" Josiah breathed a sigh of relief."Yes, Mister Josiah, don't worry."Goldie bowed to Josiah and said, "I'm sorry, Mister Josiah, it's because I didn't take good care of Miss Meredith and didn't get up earlier to make breakfast for her."Actually, she got up very early, but Meredith was earlier than her.Josiah did not blame her. He waved his hand to signal her to stop talking, and then came to Meredith's bed."Edith, are you alright?" Josiah grabbed her little hand and rubbed it lightly on his cheek. "Look at you, you've been in the hospital every three days, and you've become a regular visitor here."Me
She got off the hospital bed and said, "I'm fine now, Goldie, let's go back."Goldie glanced at Josiah and nodded. "Okay."Goldie walked with her to the entrance of the ward."If anything happens in the future, you don't need to call Mister Josiah. If you make such a big scene, it won't be good if you are photographed by reporters.""Okay, Miss Meredith." Goldie responded like this, but she could not help wondering…who else could she call if she did not call Josiah…Especially in the situation just now, she was scared to death.The two entered the elevator and turned around to find that Josiah was also there. Before Meredith could speak, Josiah took the lead and said, "Edith, I'll see you off.""I'm going to the cemetery, will you send me there too?""Yeah." Josiah said, "Don't worry, we won't be photographed.""Do you think I'm worried about being photographed?" Meredith said bitterly, "Did Mister Josiah not listen to what I just said?""I heard it, but I think that lettin
Work could really make people forget their troubles temporarily, but it hurt the body.Josiah was worried that Meredith would faint if she just went out as before. He did not want her to be too busy, but he did not know how to persuade her.Finally, he found a way.On Friday afternoon, he took Nia to the downstairs of Meredith's company.When Nia saw Meredith getting out of the elevator, she immediately greeted her. "Mommy!"Meredith had not smiled for a long time, but when she saw Nia, a warm smile appeared on her face. "Nia, you're out of school?"She leaned over and hugged Nia. Looking at her delicate dress, she said, "Nia, this is..."At this time, Nia was wearing a beautiful little skirt and a hat with a bow on her head. She was dressed to go out.Josiah explained, "Nia is going to the Silverwood Resort to participate in the piano competition. She wants you to accompany her and cheer for her, so she came here."Participating in the piano competition was just an excuse for
She was moved and somewhat apologetic, and pulled Nia into her arms. She stroked Nia's shoulders while she said, "My little princess has grown up, she knows how to make Mommy happy."Nia sighed sadly, "But I'm so useless, I didn't even make Mommy laugh.""No, Mommy was just a little distracted just now."Meredith said, "Actually, Mommy likes to hear Nia talk about school matters. Nia, you can continue telling me about your school.""What do you want to hear? Study or life?""Well..." Meredith thought about it for a while and said, "Mommy hopes that you will do your best for your studies, and you don't need to be too demanding on yourself.""Yes, just do your best." Josiah nodded in agreement. "The most important thing is to grow up healthy and happy.""No, no, no." Nia shook her head. "Mommy always says that if I don't study hard now, I will be miserable and I won't be able to find a job when I grow up.""Nia doesn't need to find a job." Josiah smiled and said, "Daddy will take
Meredith also did not want to think of Charlie, but as soon as she saw the sea, the image flooded into her mind."Mommy, what's wrong with you, Mommy?" Nia came over to hug Mommy and comforted her.Hearing Nia's worried voice, Meredith took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.She did not want to affect Nia, so she had no choice but to endure the discomfort and shook her head. "Mommy is fine, Mommy is really fine..."However, she did not seem to be okay.Nia said to Daddy, "Daddy, doesn't Mommy like the seaside? If Mommy doesn't like it, we shouldn't go.""Yes, then we won't go." Josiah said softly to Meredith, "Edith, let's go back.""No, don't go back." Meredith shook her head. "Didn't I say, I'm fine, I just... just couldn't control myself for a while.""Edith, actually...""No need to say more." Meredith interrupted Josiah. She hugged Nia and said, "Nia participated in the piano competition, and Mommy will definitely support her. Mommy will also accompany Nia to p
When she thought about it carefully, that period should be the only good time she had with Josiah. She had crazily left all of her troubles out of her memory. "Because it left a deep impression on me, so I remembered it very clearly." Josiah pointed at the recliner in the middle of the balcony. "You were right there. You even let me drink iced tea, which I had never drank before."That, however, was something Meredith remembered.She even met Maeve when she went to buy iced tea, but at that moment, Maeve had long passed away.Indeed…how times have changed when the place remained the same! Meredith could not bear to overthink, so she walked over to bring Nia back. "Nia, put on an extra layer of clothes before going out. If you catch a cold, then you won't be able to participate in the performance tomorrow anymore.""Alright." Nia obediently followed her mother back inside.Josiah also followed them in and said, "You're hungry, aren't you? What do you want to have?"Nia lifted
Nia burst out laughing and said, "Daddy, the main thing is that Mommy and I are afraid that it has a fishy smell!"Josiah was speechless. He felt as if he was greatly hurt.He simply accepted it and just directly lowered his head to take a bite. It was after he had taken a bite that he nodded and said, "It doesn't smell fishy. Both of you, my princesses, may eat it."Nia burst out laughing again and then she picked up a small spoon. "Alright. It's my turn to have it now."After she took a bite, she nodded. "It really doesn't smell fishy. It's Mommy's turn now."Meredith was amused by the father-daughter duo, who looked like they had nothing better to do. She then picked up a spoon and had a bite.The taste was indeed not bad.As soon as she finished the scallop, there was suddenly a big shrimp, which had been peeled, added to her bowl.Josiah peeled a big shrimp each for both her and Nia and placed them in their bowls.Meredith looked at the scallop in his bowl that has yet to
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
