"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,
Meredith could not bear to let Goldie eat takeout with her, and urged her to go back quickly.Goldie shook her head and said, "Miss Meredith, I promised that Mister Josiah would take good care of you. Of course, I can't let you stay here alone.""I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me.""Miss Meredith, you always say that you're fine, but it's not the truth, is it?" Goldie sighed. "Mister Josiah is right, if you don't let go of her guilt towards Mister Charlie, you wouldn't be able to fully recover."Meredith recalled her experience in the morning, and it was indeed a little scary.She smiled bitterly and said to her, "Goldie, you really don't have to worry about me, I have already thought about the morning's affairs, it's really fine."Meredith's phone on the table rang, and the two of them looked over at the same time.Seeing that it was Josiah's number, Meredith instinctively chose to ignore it. However, Goldie shrugged her shoulders and said, "Unless you answer Mister J
"Okay, let's go eat now." Meredith touched her belly. "You must be starving. Mommy will treat you to something delicious later.""Not only is Nia starving, but I'm starving too." Josiah said, "Do you want to touch my stomach too?""..." Meredith glanced at him angrily.Walter was still driving in front. Did Josiah not care about his image?Meredith was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked Nia, "Nia, what do you want to eat later? Mommy will take you to eat.""Nia said she wanted to go to the revolving restaurant last time for dinner.""I don't know if there are seats left for us.""I've already booked a private room.""..." Meredith was slightly surprised. "When did you book the private room?"Josiah raised his eyebrows. "Miss Meredith's birthday is so important, how could I forget it? I already booked yesterday."Nia nodded in agreement. "Mommy, Daddy still cares about you very much.""Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Meredith stared at Josiah and asked."I'm wai
"Using drones is a bit old-fashioned, but I still wanted to prepare this for you. I have never done this for you before."Josiah looked at the lights in the sky with her. "I know you don't want to draw attention to yourself, so I didn't put your name."Meredith did not care if he wrote her name. No, she did not even want to see such a romantic light show.It will remind her of her last birthday again.The more she looked at the lights, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she had to close her eyes again. She said, "Josiah, I'm a little uncomfortable, can you turn off these lights?""Edith, what's the matter with you?" Josiah asked with concern as soon as she heard that she was uncomfortable."I'm fine." Meredith shook her head and said, "I just suddenly remembered my last birthday.""Last birthday?" Josiah vaguely understood what was going on."Yeah, on my birthday last time, Charlie also prepared these things for me, and they were very romantic and beautiful," she said bitterly
"Only when our family of three is together can we all be happy," Nia said solemnly.After speaking, Nia nodded to herself. "Yes, I'll just add Mommy's wish. Mommy, make another secret wish."Meredith closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart."Okay, Mommy is done, let's blow out the candles together."The family of three blew out the candles, and Josiah and Nia cut the cake together.Josiah sighed in the little girl's ear, "Sure enough, only Nia can make Mommy happy, no matter what Daddy does, it's useless."Nia smiled at him. "Don't worry, Daddy, Nia will help you coax Mommy well.""Well, with Nia here, I can rest assured." Josiah nodded."Mommy, I'll give you the first piece of cake." Nia handed the first piece of cake cut to Meredith. "Thanks.""Daddy, I'll give you the second piece." Nia gave Josiah the second piece of cake."Thank you." Josiah touched her little head. "Nia, let's eat.""This is for me." Nia cut another piece for herself.Josiah quickly r
Meredith also said, "It's getting late, let's go home. Nia has to go to school tomorrow."Josiah looked at the time, it was time to go back.When the family of three returned to the car, Josiah deliberately asked, "Nia, today is Mommy's birthday, do we want to stay with Mommy?""Yes." Nia immediately nodded in agreement. "Mommy, we will stay with you tonight."Meredith put her arms around Nia and said, "Okay, Nia can stay by Mommy's side, but not Daddy. It's not suitable for him.""Why isn't it suitable? Didn't Daddy live there two days ago?""Two days ago..." Meredith smiled bitterly. "I didn't think it was appropriate for the first two days, however your father was sick."If it was not because Josiah stayed at her house for two days, why would that woman throw paint on her?Meredith took a deep breath and said to Josiah, "Josiah, can I be by myself?""No, I will worry," Josiah said.Especially after the incident of being splashed with paint today, he was even more worried.
However, when Josiah saw the email on the screen, he swallowed his words.He touched the mouse with his hand and quickly browsed through the emails.After browsing, he did not speak for a long time."This is what Charlie sent to you during the period of 'amnesia', have you read it all?"Meredith shook her head, she collapsed after seeing the first sentence, she could not stand it any longer."Charlie wanted to tell you that his amnesia is fake, and the harm he has done to you is also false. I hope you don't blame him. The reason he did this is to hope that you can let go of your guilt toward him and return to me, to be by Nia's side..."As a big man, Josiah was also moved by Charlie.He took a light breath and said, "Edith, Charlie didn't expect that he would suddenly leave this world. His plan is to leave Jehovah City, completely withdraw from your life, and give his blessing to our family of three. Charlie is indeed very great. So we have to live up to his kindness, understand
It was true. She had failed Charlie!She thought of Charlie, who wished that she would be happy, and she hurriedly wiped off the tears in her eyes and said with a catch in her throat, "Charlie, don't worry. I will live a good life. I will live happily."Finally, she calmed herself down, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedroom.Josiah was sitting on the couch and reading a magazine. He looked at her when he heard the door open. "You're awake?"When he saw that both her eyes were very swollen, he got up and walked over to her. He used his fingers to wipe away the tear stains under her eye and said, "You've not been crying the whole night, have you?"Meredith shook her head. She had been having a sweet dream in the middle of the night and had never woken up at all.She glanced at the surroundings and asked, "Where's Nia?""Look at the time now. Nia already went to school a long time ago."Meredith took a look at the time and it was unexpectedly already nine in the morning.
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
