Father and daughter were quite harmonious together.When they saw Meredith, Nia smiled and called her, "Mommy, you're up."Meredith nodded and asked casually, "Nia, what are you doing?""I'm seeing Daddy making sandwiches," Nia said to Meredith, "Mommy, although Daddy's sandwiches are not as pretty as yours, it still looks delicious.""Is that so?" Meredith walked over and sat down next to Nia, looking at the rather ugly sandwich in front of Josiah."Mommy, try it." Nia passed one to Meredith to try.Meredith accepted and took a bite.Josiah and Nia almost asked in unison, "How is it? Does it taste good?"Meredith did not want to lie. She nodded. "It's alright.""See, I told you Daddy's sandwiches taste good," Nia said with a smile as if she was not the one picking on his sandwiches a moment ago."Nia, have some too." Josiah passed Nia a piece of the sandwich before pouring some milk for Meredith. "Come, have some milk."Meredith looked at him and asked, "Where did you get y
Nia was always a disciplined child. She did not need any supervision."Mommy, go spend time with Daddy. I can do the homework on my own," Nia said to her.Meredith cleared her throat and casually picked a book up. "Your Daddy is busy cleaning up in the kitchen. I can't do anything there.""You could just be with him like how I accompanied him during breakfast."Meredith did not know how to respond to her.However, Meredith could see that Nia did not welcome her staying by her side, because Nia hoped that she would spend more time with Josiah, to foster a better relationship."Okay, then you do your homework. I'll go see if your Daddy has finished cleaning or not." Meredith got up and left Nia's room.Josiah had already finished cleaning the dishes. He even cleaned the kitchen, making it spotless. When he saw Meredith, he immediately asked for praise from her. "Meredith, do you want to come and see if it's clean or not?""No need. The unclean ones I'll just put them in the dishw
"Why can't I sit on your bed?" Josiah looked at Meredith's cold face depressedly."I don't like it."Josiah looked at the huge bed in front of him before looking at Meredith once more. He secretly thought that he was going to sleep on that bed one day.However, to not provoke her further at that moment, he still obediently sat on the sofa. He took his clothes off."Do I need to take all my clothes off?" He asked deliberately."No need," Meredith said in a medical officer tone.Josiah undressed halfway, showing Meredith the dressing on his shoulder. His wound looked like it did not split open.Meredith swiftly undressed his injury. After looking at the injury, she calmly said, "The injury is starting to heal. You can continue washing the dishes."Josiah looked at her. "Miss Meredith, are you inviting me to stay to continue washing the dishes?"Meredith swept him a glance. "I mean nothing of that sort."To punish him for being cheeky, Meredith deliberately stabbed his wound wit
"I don't believe you." Meredith moving about on him, Josiah found it even harder to bear.He turned around and got on top of her. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips and neck. He kissed her passionately while saying, "Even if I die, it will be worth it. Edith, let me hug you and kiss you. I promise I won't…"The remaining words were stuck in his throat.His body stiffened. He looked at her, stunned. He reached out to touch the back of his neck, which had a piercing feeling.Meredith looked at him and said, "Josiah, I have already warned you. You insist on coming at me.""Edith, I…"Josiah opened his mouth. Before he could finish his sentence, he passed out in her arms.His body was heavy. It was pressing on Meredith so much that she had to take a few deep breaths before forcing her way out from under his body. Then, she sat up.She tidied her clothes on her for a while before turning around to look at Josiah, who was sound asleep.Then, she leaned forward and pulled
Naturally, the little girl started to worry again."Maybe it's because I drank alcohol at the banquet last night. I'm too sleepy," Meredith said. She unconsciously walked toward the bedroom.She saw that Josiah really had not woken up yet.She glanced at the time, more than an hour had passed since she caused him to faint. He should have woken by now.'Nothing will happen, right?'Meredith walked over and touched his neck. It was fine, his pulse was normal, but why did he feel so hot?She touched his forehead instead. It really seemed like he had a fever."Nia, go get the thermometer," she said to Nia.Soon, Nia's brought over the thermometer.When Meredith measured the temperature, it was actually 39 degrees.'Why did this guy suddenly have a fever? Could the wound be infected like last time?'Thinking of the last time, Meredith unconsciously looked at his forehead. There were wounds on his head and his shoulders.This guy had been quite unfortunate recently. He was injure
He insisted that she had caused him a fever, so what else could Meredith say?Seeing that his fever was so high, even she began to doubt herself. She got up and said, "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup.""No, I can't get up now.""I'll call an ambulance to carry you."Meredith took out her mobile phone and started dialing. Josiah hurriedly pulled her mobile phone over. "I really don't need to, let me take some medicine first.""Daddy, the medicine is here." Nia immediately handed over the antipyretic medicine."Nia is so good. Thank you, Nia." Josiah took the medicine, and said to them, "Okay, the fever will be gone in a while."Meredith asked worriedly, "Are you sure you won't die in my house? I'm telling you, Josiah, if you die in my bed I'll have to b ear a great responsibility.""Miss Meredith, of course, you have to be responsible after doing such a thing to me.""...""Don't worry, I won't pursue it," Josiah added.Meredith took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, Jo
Josiah missed the way she massaged him. It felt very good."I'm afraid you'll vomit since you've just eaten." Meredith said, "I'll clean up the kitchen first.""Edith, why don't you hire some workers to help you?""I don't like having outsiders at home." Meredith looked at him and said unceremoniously, "Besides, if not for you being at my house, we basically had no housework to do."Josiah coughed dryly and nodded. "Well, next time I come, I will bring an assistant with me.""Mister Josiah, there is no next time.""..." Josiah made an 'oh' softly, not daring to make a sound anymore.He was afraid that he would be thrown out by her if he talked more.When Meredith finished cleaning up the kitchen and came in, Josiah had already stripped off his clothes and lay down on the bed.Meredith was speechless. "Why did you take off your clothes?""Aren't you going to help me with the massage, and perform some acupuncture while you're at it?""There's no need for acupuncture, and you d
Josiah regained his strength and did not cry out anymore. Instead, he felt that the massage and scraping were quite refreshing.When Meredith got off him, his entire body felt pain and refreshed at the same time.Meredith said, "Put on your clothes. You'll sleep very well now.""Are you sure?" "Yes." Miss Meredith was certain of it.Josiah slowly put on his clothes and asked, "Did Nia take a nap?""Yes.""Then do you want to sleep?" He patted the position beside him. "Edith, in order to repay you for torturing me so hard, let me coax you to take a nap."Meredith immediately raised her eyebrows at him and said, "Josiah, do you want to die?""What's the matter? This is your bed. Isn't it normal for you to take a nap together?""Thank you for the reminder that this is my bed." Meredith removed the quilt from him. "Mister Josiah, go back to the guest room to rest."Josiah made a 'hiss' and frowned. "No, maybe I was abused so hard by you just now that I can't get up.""..." Me
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
