Josiah who was standing behind them cleared his throat.Caden immediately turned to look at him and said, "Thank you to Uncle Josiah too."Josiah teased, "Are you not calling me weird uncle anymore?"Caden shook his head and started chuckling.The little guy had one hand in Meredith's and the other in Josiah's. Looking at the both of them, he then exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! Let's go, let's go!"Meredith exchanged a glance with Josiah and said, "Caden looks much happier now than when he first came to us.""This just shows that Caden is quick in adapting himself to a new environment. There is really no need for you to be worried about him when he moves in with his new family.""Mm." Meredith was finally relieved.Jehovah City had recently launched a large-scale project on building a funfair. Not only was it Caden's first visit to the fun fair, but it was also Josiah's and Meredith's.Since young, Josiah had been receiving harsh training so he would become the future leader of Sh
Meredith got onto the merry-go-round ride with Caden.Before getting onto the ride, Meredith asked Josiah to take pictures of her and Caden.Josiah did not bring his camera, so he could only take pictures with his phone.There were a lot of parents and their kids who were gathered around the merry-go-round. Josiah hated being close to strangers, so he tried to move backward and ended up accidentally bumping into someone.The person reacted in a hostile manner. "Are you blind? Can't you see that there are people behind you?"Josiah was slightly stunned. He turned and looked at the person, "I'm sorry but I'm not blind.""Then why did you bump into me…" The person suddenly stopped talking, as if he could not find his words.Josiah simply ignored him. He could not care less as to why the person was looking at him as if he had just seen a ghost.When the man came back to his senses, he quickly ran over to Josiah, bowed, and apologized, "I am so…sorry Sir, I…I didn't know that it was
Meredith also walked out with Caden in her hands with a wide grin hanging on her face. "Joe, where shall we head next?"Smiling, Josiah pulled Meredith and Caden closer to him and responded, "Let's get something to drink first.""Okay, I want some iced tea." Meredith then looked at Caden and asked, "What would you like, Caden?""I also want some iced tea.""Okay, but promise me that you won't make a fuss when you can't sleep at night." Because the place was crowded, Josiah carried Caden in his arms and walked out of the crowd."Mister Josiah, Mrs. Shelby…" The man from earlier followed them and bowed at them. "I really didn't mean what I said earlier, can you not fire me from my position? Sir, you know how hard I work and how well I treat my colleagues. Plus, I have to raise two kids and if I lose this job…""Please excuse me." Josiah interrupted him and noticed the man's wife who was making her way in difficulty toward their direction with both children in her hands. "Mister, if
Josiah put down two cups of iced tea in front of Meredith and Caden, then said to Caden, "Don't drink too much or you won't be able to sleep tonight."Caden had never drank iced tea before. After taking a sip, he asked, "Uncle Josiah, why would this thing make you not sleep well?""Because there's caffeine in them.""Then what happens when I can't sleep?""When that happens," Josiah flashed a grin at Meredith and said, "one would start making a fuss and everyone else won't be able to sleep too."Meredith was reminded of the time when she could not sleep because of iced tea as well. Pulling into a smile, she said, "Don't worry, Joe. I promise that it won't happen again this time.""Me too." Caden nodded his head solemnly and continued drinking."How is it, Caden? Does it taste good?" asked Meredith."Yes, it's really good," Caden nodded and said happily, "thank you for buying me iced tea, I am really happy.""Look at Caden with his sweet-talking," Meredith patted his head and a
"Of course it's a good thing," Walter nodded his head frantically and added, "the old you would never have come to places like this. You've been living a dull and boring life, like a robot that only knows how to earn money. But after Ma'am lost her memories, you've changed."Josiah looked at Meredith who had fallen asleep in his arms.Was it that obvious?…Quinley waited for quite a few days but Josiah still had not freed Maeve. But instead, she received a message from Maeve threatening her that she would meet up with Josiah if she would not help save her.Quinley was anxious and terrified but she could not seem to get hold of Meredith. She did not even know if Meredith actually talked to Josiah about Maeve.After some consideration, Quinley decided to visit the kindergarten again.Only this time, before she could even step foot into the kindergarten, she received a call from Josiah.At the sound of his voice, Quinley was first excited but she got nervous at the end.She wond
"I understand," Quinley added urgently, "I've always kept what you said in mind, to not go near Meredith and bring up the past. If it wasn't to help Maeve, I wouldn't have gone near Meredith."Mister Josiah, please believe me and forgive me this time."Josiah did not want to listen to her anymore and ended the call abruptly.Quinley called out for him but she could no longer hear Josiah at the end of the other call.She was worried that Josiah would treat her like how he treated Maeve.Quinley stayed in the car for a moment before getting the car started.She went to visit Maeve hoping to calm her down before coming up with a new solution.But seeing how Quinley looked defeated and worried, Maeve guessed that there was no hope for her. She seethed furiously, "Since there's nothing that you could do, why do you even bother to show up here?"Quinley put on a smile and tried to comfort her, "Maeve, I know that it's hard for you to be alone in there and that is why I'm here to see
Strictly speaking, Quinley and Ysabelle were not considered as good friends but they knew each other. After all, Quinley was one of the girls that followed Meredith around and they looked down on Ysabelle for being the mistress' child.Ysabelle found it strange that Quinley was actually visiting her."I heard from Maeve that she saw you in here and I realized that you've been locked up for quite some time. So how are you? Is everything okay there?""Do I look like I'm doing great?""No, not really," With a look of sympathy on her face, Quinley added, "I heard that most people could not stand living there for more than a couple of days. Most of them would rather take their own life than spend their days there."Ysabelle stayed silent. Quinley then went on, "I met with Maeve yesterday and I noticed that she's having suicidal intentions. I'm worried that one of these days, she might just decide to end her own life."Ysabelle replied, "I don't think so. She seemed quite confident tha
Ysabelle's hands curled into a fist when Quinley provoked her sore spot.Of course, she felt resentful.She would have dragged Meredith to hell with her if she had the chance. There was no way that she would let Meredith off the hook that easily.She looked up at Quinley and replied, "I understand. But I hope you'll keep your end of the bargain.""Don't worry, I will."Quinley got into her car after seeing Ysabelle off. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh in her car.For the sake of keeping Maeve's mouth shut, Quinley could only choose to walk the dangerous path.Meredith woke up a little later than usual and by the time she went downstairs, Josiah and Caden were already having breakfast.She walked over and asked, "Joe, Caden, why didn't you wake me up to join you guys for breakfast?"Caden looked up at Meredith and replied, "Miss Meredith, Uncle Josiah said that you were too tired last night and that you should sleep in longer."Meredith's face crumbled as she stare
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
