He quickly flipped through her browsing history. Thankfully, there was no news regarding Nia.He walked out of the bedroom and dialed Wesley."Delete all of the news about me and Meredith on that website. I don't care whether it's positive or negative.""Yes, Mister Josiah."Half an hour later, news about two of them no longer existed on the website. Josiah returned the phone to Meredith.…At night, Josiah came out of his shower to see Meredith lying in bed looking at her phone. Meredith had already showered. She was wearing an ordinary cotton pajama skirt and because she was lying tummy down on the bed, it naturally showed off her fair legs.It was adorable and seductive, yet elegant."What are you looking at?" Josiah walked over to her while drying his hair off with the towel.When he saw that the contents on the phone had nothing to do with him, he was relieved."I'm looking at the news," Meredith said pitifully, "what a poor child. They don't have money to cure her sickn
"Let's stick to Nia. I like the name.""Okay, whatever you say."Josiah touched his hair and realized that it was almost dry. He threw the towel aside and pressed Meredith on the bed. His large hand traveled up her legs.Meredith widened her eyes in fear. "Joe, what are you doing?""We're husband and wife. What else could we be doing?" Josiah kissed her on the lips. "Don't tell me that you have also forgotten how to do such things?"Meredith's face was hot, but she did not refuse him. She naturally accepted him, treating him as her husband whom she loved the most.Thinking back about it, they have never been so harmonious in bed before. Four or five years back, it was a marriage of convenience for the family. Meredith liked Josiah a lot, but Josiah did not love her. He even hated the arranged marriage.Back then, although he was obsessed with her body, it was always her who initiated.When they saw each other again, she hated him to the bone. Every time, he was the one that for
After Yoseph's work report, he said, "Mister Josiah, the boy called Jack has been arranged to the hospital to undergo free treatment.""Hmm." Josiah stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.Beneath him was traffic, being dyed red by the sunset.Yoseph continued, "About the foundation, I have already drafted a proposal.""Good." Josiah took a sip of his coffee that had long turned cold. He asked, "What else?""Also…" Yoseph knew that Josiah was most concerned about the progress of the hospital in Feldenberg. He lowered his head and said, "The final results are not out yet, but Doctor Joshua is asking you to make a trip there next week.""Okay, I'll follow his arrangements.""But this trip would take at least four days. How are you going to explain to Mrs. Shelby?"Meredith was currently at her most insecure and clingy phase. If Josiah were to leave, she might throw a fit. If he was not worried about her, he would have long gone to Feldenberg already.No wonder Yoseph woul
"Alright." Meredith headed upstairs.Her closet was filled with dozens of white dresses in a variety of styles and materials.Meredith picked a long-sleeve one to try to cover the scar on the back of her hand. No matter how she tried, she could not do it.She picked up the concealer on the table and applied it to the back of her hand. The scars were still visible.Meredith angrily squeezed more concealer on the back of her hand. In the end, she threw the bottle against the mirror in a fit of rage and screamed.Josiah just entered the bedroom when he saw her flaring up in front of the mirror. Seeing how she was about to throw the fake fruit accessory on the table at the mirror, he immediately headed over."Edith, what happened?""I don't want to be so ugly! I don't want to!"Here it came again.Josiah helplessly hugged her in his arms. "Didn't I already say it, you're not ugly.""You are all liars! You're lying to me!" Meredith agitatedly hit him and pushed him away. "Don't ho
At the mention of Grandma only did Meredith remember that she went upstairs to change her clothes. She calmly nodded. "Of course.""Then, let's change and head out.""Hmm." Meredith made her white dress dirty. She got up and was about to head to the changing room to change her clothes.Josiah pulled her back. "Be careful of the shards on the floor. I'll carry you over."Lifting her, he headed to the changing room.He picked a new body-hugging white dress and passed it to her. "How about this?"Meredith looked at it and asked, "Joe, do you think it looks nice?""I think you look nice in whatever you wear, Edith.""Then, let's wear this one." Meredith nodded happily.He helped her dress up. Josiah was about to leave with her when Meredith said once more, "Wait a minute, where is my butterfly mask?""Edith, you don't need to dress up so nicely to see Grandma," Josiah said with a smile."But I'm afraid I'll frighten her.""No, you won't. It's not the first time she is seeing yo
Meredith saw Josiah leaving. She asked in confusion, "Grandma, why are you scolding Joe? He's great."Josiah's grandmother was speechless. Looking at Meredith's serious expression, her eyes could not help but redden. She finally understood that Josiah did not want Meredith to get better."Edith." She grabbed Meredith's hand tightly. "If Josiah…that jerk ever dares to bully you, tell me. I'll kill him.""Grandma, no. How could you kill Joe?"Josiah's grandmother chuckled bitterly, "Edith, I'm afraid by then you would want to kill him more than me."She did not dare to imagine how terrifying it would be if Meredith regained her memories. Would she just directly stab Josiah to death?"Grandma, I won't. Joe treats me well." Meredith turned to look at Josiah at the door. When their eyes met, she smiled sweetly at him.Josiah's grandmother was even more worried when she saw Meredith's reactions. The higher the hopes, the bigger the disappointment."How is he good?" Josiah's grandmoth
Upon hearing Josiah asking her for help to care for Meredith, his grandmother pondered seriously before agreeing to it."I'll return home the day that you leave."Josiah was a little helpless. "Grandma, do you really hate me that much?""What do you think?""If that's the case, I'll make a move." Josiah pulled Meredith over. "Edith, let's go back to have our meal."Upon hearing that Meredith has not eaten, Josiah's grandmother immediately softened her tone and said, "Edith has not eaten? Go back quickly! Don’t starve yourself.""Grandma, I'll come and see you the next time.""Okay, go."Coming out of the hospital, Josiah pulled Meredith along and asked, "Let's go have some food. What do you want to eat?"Meredith thought for a while. She shook her head. "I don't know either.""Then, let's go have some steak." He remembered that Meredith liked steaks."Great." Meredith nodded.Josiah brought her to a high-end restaurant. They both got out of a car when someone suddenly appea
After spending so much time together, Josiah soon figured out that he just had to kiss her to calm her down whenever she threw a fit.It worked the same this time.Meredith was almost out of breath and she had already forgotten what she had done earlier.By the time the cops showed up, both of them were all over each other and the cops could only get their attention by letting out an awkward cough.Only then did Josiah let go of Meredith's lips. Pressing her head against his chest, Josiah then said to the cops, "Sir, would you mind taking away this crazy woman with you? I will drop by the police station in a bit.""Fine. But do remember to drop by." The cops then took Margot with them and drove away.Josiah gave a light tap on Meredith's back and said, "Edith, it's all fine now. Let's go in and have our meal."Meredith looked like she was in a daze. She looked up and stared at him, asking, "What did I do just now? Did anything happen?""It's nothing. Just that a crazy woman alm
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
