Meredith said coolly, "Your father has no childhood. Isn't it normal that someone like him to have never played with a claws machine?""I usually choose to buy the whole toy store directly." Josiah said solemnly, "Do you want it, Nia? Daddy will buy the whole toy store for you."After buying the entire business, the girl can play with the claw machine as much as she wanted. If she still can't get it out of the claw machine, she was free to cheat and knock the machine.Meredith said to the surprised Nia, "Don't listen to him. He wants to use money to cover the fact that doesn't know how to operate a claw machine."Nia nodded. "Yes, Daddy, it doesn't matter if you can't get it. No one will laugh at you, because Mommy and I can't get it either."When Josiah heard what she said, he really wanted to give it a try.He exchanged a bunch of coins from the machine, came back, and said, "Let me try."Meredith glanced at him. "Are you sure you want to try it?""What's wrong with trying?"
Meredith took Nia to buy the stickers she wanted, and then went to the food area."By the way, Nia, what kind of food does your father want to eat?""I don't know." Nia thought for a while. "How about I go and ask Daddy?""Forget it, I'll just buy some." She basically knew the dishes he liked to eat, but he might not have an appetite as he was not feeling well today.Meredith bought a few simple and light ingredients.The mother and daughter went out after paying the bill, and found that Mister Josiah was still trying to grab the bear in the claw machine.Meredith raised her watch speechlessly and glanced at it. He had been doing this for 40 minutes."Mister Josiah, even if you have money, don't waste it like this, alright?" She could not help but tease.Josiah 'shushed' at her, motioning her not to disturb him.Meredith shrugged her shoulders and gave Nia a coin to play with, while she sat on the lounge chair and waited.The boss was a cheerful old lady who asked Meredith
"Miss Meredith, you know that I don't lack money." Josiah asked calmly, "Can I request other rewards?""Okay, I'll reward you with dinner tonight.""I won't have dinner tonight." Josiah suddenly pulled her into his arms, put her hand on the handle of the claw machine, and said, "Okay, put the coins in.""..." Meredith struggled and said, "I can't get the bear. You do it yourself.""Husband and wife working together, nothing is impossible." Josiah put his chin on her shoulder and said, "Quick, put in a coin."Meredith had no choice but to take out a few coins from her pocket and put them in. Josiah held her little hand, shaking it and saying, "Watch as I get a bear for my little princess."Meredith originally thought that he was just joking. She instantly became nervous after hearing his words.Suddenly, she also very much wanted to get the little bear for Nia.Maybe it was like what Mister Josiah said, nothing was impossible when husband and wife worked together…they actually
Meredith quickly looked away and said, "Put your clothes back on.""It's not like you haven't seen it before. Why are you blushing?" Josiah was really curious.The two have already made love, and she gave birth to his daughter. Was there any need to be shy?Meredith was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned around to handle the ingredients.Josiah followed. "I'll help you."…Naturally, Mister Josiah finished the meal and stayed, saying that he could not leave.The reason was that the wound had not yet healed, and his body was still a little numb, so he needed Miss Meredith's 24-hour care.Meredith knew that once she opened her mouth, there would be endless arguments again, so she simply shut up.The next day was Monday.Josiah got up early to make breakfast, and the two sent Nia to school together.Back in the car, Josiah turned and asked Meredith, "Are you going to the company or going home? I'll send you off.""The car is mine, I'll send you home first," Meredith
Finally, just before the woman was trampled to death by Josiah, the security personnel came.The security guards looked at the dying woman on the ground, and at the car that was covered in paint, and immediately understood what was going on."Is your security work so sloppy?" Josiah asked coldly."Sorry, sorry, we didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. We'll send this woman to the police station." After the security guard finished speaking, he said to the two of them, "By the way, which of you will go to the police station with us to assist in the investigation?""We're not free." Josiah said coldly, "Also, there is no need to assist in the investigation. There is no need for the police. I have a way to clean up this scum."When the security guard heard his words, his body trembled unconsciously.It was said that the president of Shelby Group was cruel and vicious, and he did not blink even in the face of murder. It was true!"Just tell me her identity," Josiah said casuall
Seeing the paint on the car, Goldie immediately grabbed Meredith with concern and looked at her. "Miss Meredith, are you alright? Who did this?"Meredith now just wants to hide in a corner. She did not want to meet anyone, and she did not want to talk.Josiah answered on her behalf, "A lunatic woman did this. Miss Meredith is in a bad state, so you must take good care of her."Goldie nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Mister Josiah, I will take good care of Miss Meredith."Josiah nodded, then looked at Meredith and said, "Also, you should try to talk to her and enlighten her." "Okay.""Edith." Josiah called out, "I will find someone to handle the car, you can go back to the company."Meredith ignored him and walked into the elevator, accompanied by Goldie.Goldie did not need to ask to know why Miss Meredith was splashed with paint, and why she was emotionally unstable.She took Meredith into the lounge, and while taking out clean clothes, Goldie comforted her, saying, "Miss M
"I'm fine." Meredith shook her head and reminded calmly, "I can't run away from responsibility, even if I'm not doing well.""But...isn't it inappropriate for us to meet Mister Zaleski now?""Don't worry, I'm fine." Meredith said, "I have rescheduled to meet Mister Zaleski at the coffee shop in the afternoon. You can arrange it then.""Okay, Miss Meredith."Goldie watched her turn around and return to her position. She seemed calm on the surface, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.Knowing Meredith's temperament, Goldie could not say anything more.In the afternoon, Meredith went to the coffee shop to meet Mister Zaleski as scheduled.Mister Zaleski was a man in his forties. Meredith had met with him a few times before because of business matters and knew that he had never been kind to her.So when he proposed to let her go to his private room to taste red wine, Meredith decisively refused.She would rather ask him out for coffee.It could be seen that Meredith was v
"That's great.""Come, come here and sit together." Mister Zaleski happily patted the position beside him with his other hand."Mister Zaleski, you should let go of me first." Meredith sneered at him.Mister Zaleski was instantly stunned."Well, Miss Meredith, your hand is so tender and smooth that I can't bear to let it go." Mister Zaleski let go of her with a reluctant expression.As soon as Meredith got her freedom, she immediately raised her hand and slapped him."You—" Mister Zaleski was stunned."Mister Zaleski, you're a little too narcissistic." Meredith looked down at him and sneered, "I don't need your money. It is the same whether I sign this contract or not. If you think that you can sleep with me for a contract, that is a fool's dream.""You! Meredith, you shameless b*tch! Who do you think you are? You should be grateful that I'm spending my time with you!"Stinky woman, think you can go crazy with Mister Josiah as your backing, right? With your stinky reputation,
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
