The school was not far. Siena stood at the school gate and waved goodbye to them. "Goodbye, Uncle Liam, Aunt V!""Okay. See you tonight." Ivy waved back.As Siena walked into her school, Liam took Ivy's little hand. "Let's go back."Ivy asked as they walked, "Where are we going next? To see the nurse?""Yes. You'll visit the nurse while I meet someone else.""Who are you meeting?" Ivy was curious. "Someone." Liam smiled at her. "I can't tell you yet.""It's that mysterious?""Mm." Liam was unsure about the result and afraid that he would disappoint Ivy after giving her hope, so he did not plan to let her know so soon.Ivy did not pursue and said, "Okay. Then let's split up.""Alright. Be mindful of your safety.""I know this area like the back of my hand. I should say that to you.""I'm a grown man, so what's there to be afraid of? Are you afraid that someone might kidnap me and sell me off?" Liam thought it was a little funny."Anyway, just be careful.""Don't worry. I
The couple stared at the amount and widened their eyes.So much money!Was Siena worth that much?They both thought they were dreaming, and they stared at the contract and then at Liam with disbelief.Seeing this, Liam added, "Don't worry. I won't lie to you."After the couple recovered, the man asked tentatively, "Do you really like Siena so much? Why? Siena is not worth the money you spend to adopt it back." "Because my wife likes her, so I think it's worth the money," Liam said.The woman could not help but be a little envious, "Your wife is so blessed.""She'd be happier if she had Siena."The couple looked at each other and nodded. "Okay, we agree.""Thank you."Liam breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought it would take a little more effort, but he did not expect the other party to agree so easily. Nevertheless, even though they agreed, the cross-border procedures were troublesome, and they needed to take their time.In the afternoon, Liam went directly to th
Ivy took Siena out of the mansion. Liam followed them and asked, "V, how was it? Was there any progress?""No." Upon the mention of this, the smile on Ivy's face faded.Liam long guessed that this would be the result.Although Ivy kept repeating that the child might still be alive, he remained a little skeptical. He felt that this was an illusion Ivy had from missing her own child too much.Of course, he was still willing to accompany her around to look for the child, even if it meant going abroad."Ivy, don't be too sad," Liam said while ruffling her hair.Ivy nodded and forced a smile. "Liam, I'm fine.""Hmm, that's good," Liam said before saying to Siena, "Siena, your Aunt V is unhappy, go make her laugh."Upon hearing that, Siena stopped in her tracks and asked concernedly, "Aunt V, what happened to you?"Ivy ruffled her head and smiled. "I'm fine.""But Uncle Liam is right, you do look unhappy.""I'm not. I'm happy whenever I see you." Ivy was not completely lying.She
Liam smiled and grabbed Ivy's small hand. "V, even if I dare to lie to you, I won't dare to lie to a child, like Siena.""But how could Siena's parents be so generous?""I had to beg them. I said that my wife liked Siena a lot, so they agreed to it," Liam leaned in and said in Ivy's ears, "Ivy, there are things we can't say in front of Siena. I'll explain it to you in detail later, alright?"Ivy was stunned for a while before nodding. "Okay…""No matter what, just trust me.""Okay, I'll trust you.""Come on, Siena, call us Daddy and Mommy," Liam coaxed her.Siena, who was initially happy, suddenly had a serious expression. She looked at them and said, "But, if I call you Daddy and Mommy and live with you. How about my Daddy and Mommy?"Ivy and Liam were stunned for a while, but they were also relieved that Siena was such a kind person.However, they could also see that she, who had been ignored since young, wanted to go back with them.Before Ivy could say anything, Liam said
"Siena, does the chicken taste good?" Ivy asked."It does." Siena nodded before glaring at Liam. "Daddy, you don't understand girls. Girls like to go on a diet, which is why Mommy doesn't like to eat drumsticks.""Is that so? Are you on a diet?" Liam pinched Ivy's wrist. "Look at you. You're as thin as a stick. Why are you still on a diet?"Ivy retracted her hand. "Siena's right. Girls like to go on a diet, whether it be fat or thin girls.""That's because they have no confidence," Liam put his long slender arm around her waist that was so thin he could wrap around with one arm and said, "I don't mind whether you are fat or thin. No matter what you become, I'll love you the same, so you don't need to be on a diet.""Who said that us women go on a diet to let you men love us? Can't we just live a life we like?"Liam thought for a while. "You can, but you can't just not eat anything.""I am eating." Ivy pushed him away. "Go back to your seat and eat.""Okay." Liam let her go and
"If your Mommy doesn't want to move, I can move over here too." Liam entered with his hand in his pocket. He smiled and said to Siena, "Siena, why don't you sleep in my room?""Sure." Siena nodded in agreement. She said to Ivy, "Mommy, I'll go to bed then. Good night, Daddy and Mommy."Ivy was speechless.Seeing Siena leaving the bedroom, Ivy looked at Liam. "How could you come to my room?""V, I can't sleep well alone." Liam walked over to hug her. "I haven't hugged you to sleep in a long time. Can you let me do that tonight?" "Liam, how old are you? Why are you still being coquettish?""I'm only thirty." Liam chuckled and kissed her behind her ears. "Mainly because being coquettish works with you. If not, I wouldn't be that childish.""Who says that it works? It doesn't." Ivy pushed him away. "Why don't you head downstairs to sleep?""Isn't Mrs. Shelby downstairs? I’m afraid?""You're a man. What are you afraid of?" Ivy said, "If you're so afraid, I'll go downstairs to slee
"Okay, I'll come with you," Liam said without giving it any thought."Liam," Ivy suddenly pulled him back and said, "the procedure for Siena's adoption would happen so quickly. Why don't you head back first? I'll stay here doing it while looking for the child.""No, I want to stay with you."No matter how she wanted to look for the child or when she was going to look, he was going to stay with her."Your job is so busy. Also, I'm guessing your family has already thrown a fit for you leaving," Ivy bit her lips and said, "I'm going to say what I have been saying. I hope that you don't give up everything for me. It will be a huge pressure for me, and I will feel terrible."Liam looked at her serious gaze. He pondered for a while before saying, "But if I go back, you'll be alone.""I can be alone, it's fine.""I'm afraid.""What are you afraid of? I've said that this is my place, I'm familiar with this place.""I'm afraid that you won't return."Ivy was speechless seeing how worr
Yanne took a deep breath and said, "Madam Sheldon, I'm leaving."Madam Sheldon nodded. "I'll get the driver to send you.""No need."Yanne was just about to head out when the servant suddenly said from the door in surprise, "Madam Sheldon, Miss Young, Master Liam is back!""Ah!" Yanne was extremely surprised and delighted. "Really? Liam is back?""Yes, he is back." Liam entered as if on cue. Madam Sheldon rushed up to him and hit him while scolding, "Where have you gone for so many days? Do you know how worried Yanne and I were? How could you be so immature?"Liam let his mother hit and scold him. He did not defend himself.After Madam Sheldon finished scolding him, she ordered him, "Why are you still not apologizing to Yanne? If you were still not going to come back, Yanne was going to go back home."Liam looked at Yanne behind Madam Sheldon. Yanne looked at him with her eyes filled with hope.She hoped that he would say that he had regretted it and he had decided to return
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
