Josiah sure was quite determined. He was still insisting that she swore.Meredith had no choice but to mimic his actions. She raised her hand. "Okay. I swear I will not do things that will hurt the great Mister Josiah in the future."Josiah was finally satisfied. He planted a heavy kiss on her forehead.…When Liam returned to the hotel, the guests had already left.At that moment, only the family members of the Sheldons and the Youngs were there. To express his stand, Mister Sheldon immediately went forward to slap Liam when he saw him arrive.He said angrily, "Liam, did you know what you've done just now?"Liam's face was slapped to the side. He looked at his father before looking at everyone behind his father.Then, he bowed down and apologized, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't let Miss Landers come here to cause a scene."He paused for a while before saying, "But since things have already happened, I guess…"Yanne seemed to know what he was about to say. She immediate
At the bar, Josiah walked directly to the private room to see Liam sitting in the corner drinking his sorrows away. He paused for a while before entering.Liam looked up at him and asked, "Why are you here?""Didn't I tell you that I will return the same favor of all those times you drank with me previously?"Josiah grabbed the bottle and poured himself a cup before clinking his cup with Liam's. "Come, I'll drink with you.""No need.""What do you mean?" Josiah measured him up. "Would you rather drink alone?""That's right.""You should wipe away your envy attitude." Josiah took a swig. "You don't have to be jealous of Edith and me. After all, the two of us have come a long and tough way.""Then, do you think if I endure for as long as you did, something good will come out of it?" Liam finally clinked his glass with Josiah's."Perhaps," Josiah said, "I don't know how to console you, but seeing how you have consoled me so much previously, I think you should know better than me.
"Will your wife allow it?""She knows I'm with you. She won't mind.""Our Edith is still the best." Liam was about to clink his glass with Josiah, but Josiah moved his glass away. Josiah's expression changed and he corrected him, "You're not allowed to call her Edith. Change it.""Yes, Meredith. Mrs. Shelby. Okay?"Josiah moved his glass back and clinked it with Liam's before downing his drink.Liam and Josiah both had great alcohol tolerance. They drank an entire night but they were only slightly tipsy.At night, their drivers came to pick them home.When Liam returned home, it was almost eleven at night, but the lights in the living area were still lit.He rubbed the middle of his brows while walking upstairs. He almost bumped into Yanne."Liam, you're back." Yanne immediately held him.Liam opened his unfocused eyes and swept her a gaze. "Why have you not returned home so late at night? Are you waiting for me to return?"Yanne said with a smile, "Liam, have you forgotte
No matter how Yanne tried, Liam had no reaction.She could only brace herself, tiptoe, and kiss him on the lips.She did not believe that she had already taken the initiative and he would still push his fiancee away.However, she soon found it to be true.Liam was that cold. Not only did he push her away. He even said flatly, "Yanne, I think this is still inappropriate. Rest well."Then, he headed out once more.Yanne panicked. She rushed forward and hugged him from behind. "Liam, why won't you sleep with me? Am I really no match for Miss Landers?"At the mention of Ivy, Liam's body stiffened a little.Yanne also did not want to mention her. She did not want Ivy to come in between herself and Liam, however, she still mentioned her name out of impulse.Since she had already said her name, she could only continue hugging him and say, "Liam, I know that you like Ivy, but I'm your fiancee. I don't object to you liking her. I won't stop you from seeing her, but can you be a little
"I'm sorry. I might be a jerk. My words might be a little harsh too, but this is how I feel too." Liam looked at her. His tone calmed down. "Yanne, if you feel aggrieved, we can just not get married."Hearing him say that, even if Yanne was feeling aggrieved, it all vanished.She shook her head frantically. "No, Liam. I don't feel aggrieved. I was just thinking that Susan must have deliberately embarrassed Ivy because she was standing up for me. I will talk to her properly tomorrow and ask her to stay further away from Ivy."Me too. I have already said I don't mind that you like Ivy, so I won't hurt her. Please believe me.""It's best if that's the case," Liam said, "Yanne, I do not like scheming women. Back then when Meredith was hurt by Maeve and Quinley. I wanted to punch Josiah to death. I didn't know this would happen to me too."A chill ran down Yanne's back, but she had to maintain her smile. "I understand. I am not Maeve or Quinley. I won't hurt anyone.""Thank you," Liam
Madam Sheldon was touched by what Yanne said. She wanted to hit her son's head open so she could put all the words that Yanne said in his mind. She wanted him to properly cherish such a good woman.Of course, Liam heard some of it, but his emphasis was on the first half of her sentence.Was Ivy truly someone that he longed for and could not be with? Was that why she was the best? Was that the case?Although he was a little taking advantage of Ivy, he truly has her, no matter her body or her heart.Would it be that one day he would be sick of her, so he would put her down and return to his wife? Would he turn into this person?"Liam, have more." Yanne added more oatmeal into his bowl.Liam placed his spoon down and said, "I'm full. You two enjoy.""You've only had two mouthfuls and you're full?" Madam Sheldon looked at him. "What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to starve yourself to death?"Yanne also asked worriedly, "Liam, are you not eating because I'm here?""Don't
She did not expose him, but gave a stern order instead. "Don't you think it's a bit too much for you to sleep in the company as soon as Yanne moved in?""Mom, Yanne and I...""I don't care if you love her or not, she is your fiancée now, so you can't leave her alone at home." Madam Sheldon ordered, "Get out of here immediately. Otherwise, neither your father nor I will be able to spare you. "Liam glanced at Ivy, who was sleeping in the bedroom, and hung up the call.He returned to Ivy, squatted down in front of her and stared at her for a moment, then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Then, he got up and left the villa.As soon as he got home, Madam Sheldon pulled him into her bedroom and began to lecture him.Liam said impatiently, "Mom, I know what you want to say, but can you respect my thoughts?""Your thoughts? The idea of not sleeping in the master bedroom and playing with Yanne?" Madam Sheldon said angrily, "Liam, there can be no betrayal in love. No matter h
"After all, we're only engaged, not really married yet." Liam forced the corners of his lips to smile. "Yanne, hurry up and go to bed.""What about you? Are you going to sleep in the study tonight?" Yanne put her arms around his and asked expectantly.Liam originally wanted to say yes, but when he thought of his mother's words, he could not spit out the word 'yes'.He looked at Yanne, who was full of anticipation in front of him, and said, "Yanne, I still think we are not married yet, so we shouldn't be sleeping in the same bed.""But what if I say I don't mind?" Yanne smiled lightly. "You won't suffer anyway, right?""...""Liam, can I help you take a bath?" Yanne said softly, "I've already prepared your clothes for you. You can go in directly."After she finished speaking, she prepared to take him to the bathroom."No, I'll wash by myself." Liam left her behind and walked toward the bathroom.He removed all the clothes on his body, stood under the water, and closed his eyes,
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
