She gave him a light push and said, "Joe, I'm going to get angry if you don't listen to me."Josiah found her adorable. "I am curious how you'd look when you get angry."Meredith pouted her lips and made an angry face at him. Josiah chuckled and nodded, "Too adorable."Meredith found it strange that Josiah thought that she was cute when she was angry."Adorable?" Meredith got a little angry and asked, "So was this why you didn't take me seriously when I was angry at you for the past few days?""It's not that," Josiah pinched her cheeks gently and explained, "I was in so much pain when you were mad at me the past few days. If not, I wouldn't even have thought of getting a food delivery of all your favorite food just to make you happy.""Is that so?""Yeah," He nodded and went on, "so can you promise me that you won't be angry at me anymore? It really hurts me and it's unbearable.""We'll have to see how you behave.""Hmm? So what would you like me to do now?""Go downstairs an
"It's okay, it's not like it's a big detour." Josiah held her hands in his and said, "let's go now. I'm not going to let you go to work if you reject my offer again.""Aright, let's go then."Meredith smiled and got into the car with him.After dropping off Meredith at the kindergarten, the first thing that Josiah did when he reached his office was giving orders to Yoseph to find someone to keep an eye on Meredith so that no one would approach her or hurt her.This was the most that he could do since Meredith insisted on going to work.At the news that Meredith was pregnant, Yoseph was surprised and asked, "Sir, didn't you reject my idea the last time when I suggested getting Ma'am pregnant? What made you change your mind?"Yoseph knew that Josiah was worried that Meredith would distance herself from him if she regained her memories.Hence Yoseph made a suggestion to Josiah, asking him to get Meredith pregnant. After all, with the presence of a child between them, Meredith would
Now that she was reminded of the past again, Meredith felt as if a lot of time had passed without her even being aware.Sensing that Meredith was a bit off, the teacher quickly changed the topic. "Right, Miss Meredith, I can see that Caden has become a lot more cheerful than before. He is even playing with the other kids now. It's all thanks to you and Mister Josiah."At the mention of Caden, Meredith's mood suddenly got better.Pulling into a smile, she said, "Because Caden's new parents love him very much.""I guess it's true when they say a child grows up better and more cheerful when they receive a lot of love.""Indeed."Meredith subconsciously placed her hand on her belly. Inwardly, she made a promise to herself that she would shower her baby with a lot of love so that her child could grow up happily.Hence, she decided that it did not matter that Josiah and Yena were childhood sweethearts.What was important was that Josiah loved her and their child.Yoseph had made a r
"Yes, I'm sure. I like whatever you like.""Why don't we buy everything here?""No, we won't be able to keep everything at home.""Are you sure about that?" His mansion was over a thousand acres."I mean, I'm sure it'd fit, but outfits get out of season very quickly.""You're right," Josiah nodded and said, "alright then, we'll get new ones for each season.""Okay.""I'll go ahead and choose them."Josiah picked out six to seven outfits according to his preference and taste.The shopkeeper was stunned. "Sir and Ma'am, are you sure that you don't want to try the clothes first?""My wife is pregnant, I don't want her to go through the hassle."Josiah was pretty confident that he got Meredith's sizes correct. And even if they happen to be unfit, Josiah thought that he could always get rid of them and get new ones."Let me go try them on." Meredith was baffled that Josiah would actually buy clothes without trying them on."Trust me, hmm?" Josiah wrapped his arms around her wai
Meredith did think of getting the hat earlier but she was worried that he would think that she was spending money on useless stuff.Hence she chose to get the shoes instead."It's written all over your face.""Really?" Meredith blinked her eyes and wondered if it was that obvious."Mmhmm." Josiah then pointed at the items on the shelves and said, "Buy whatever it is that you want, I won't judge or say anything."With his words, Meredith stood on her toes and kissed him on his cheeks. "You're the best, Joe."She then turned around and started choosing things that she had laid her eyes on.They were supposed to get maternity clothes but in the end, they got several bags full of baby products.When they arrived at the mansion, Lily was stunned."Sir, Ma'am, these …""It's alright as long as she's happy," Josiah said as his eyes were fixed on Meredith who was happily going through the stuff that she had bought.Lily simply nodded.Meredith pulled Lily to sit next to her on the
After a round of passionate and steamy kisses, Josiah's voice turned hoarse as he whispered, "I'll let you go this time since you're pregnant."Meredith noticed how Josiah was not satisfied and that he wanted more. Confused, she asked, "Joe, why are you torturing yourself when you know that I'm pregnant? Isn't it hard for you?""It is.""What do we do then?""Why not help me instead?""I don't want to always let you have your way," Meredith clicked her tongue, looked away, and said, "what if you want more than just kissing every night? I'll probably die of exhaustion then.""You're right, I shouldn't overwork a pregnant lady." Josiah nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll control myself.""Thank you, my love," She then kissed him on his cheeks and said, "have a goodnight."Josiah was silent.For some reason, he felt even unbearable after being comforted by her.…It was the weekend and Meredith had woken up early.She thought of making breakfast for Josiah as it had been a whi
Josiah found her response rather funny. "Since when did you care about my work?""Because we're going to have a kid soon.""So you're trying to say that I should work hard and earn money to raise our child.""You're the father of my child, of course, you'd have to earn money to raise the child.""Mm…you're right.""So, you don't have to be worried about me," Meredith leaned into his arms again and said, "and go work hard.""Mrs.Shelby, it's a weekend today," Josiah chuckled."Oh, is it?" Meredith straightened her back."Don't you know when you have to go to work?""I thought we have to go to work today," Meredith scratched the back of her head and said, "How silly of me. It is no wonder people say that one would get dumber after losing their memories.""It's alright. I like you this way, adorable."He then walked into the house with her.Lily had already finished preparing breakfast.Josiah put another omelet onto Meredith's plate and said, "Have more eggs, it's good for y
"At least that's what I think. You should see to it yourself." Quinley took out the food for Ysabelle and said, "Didn't you say that you're hungry? Hurry up and eat."Ysabelle took a bite of the food but she could not seem to taste the food in her mouth."I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything.""Hold on," Ysabelle grabbed Quinley by her hand and said, "Quinley, when can you arrange for me to receive treatment at my place? I really don't want to stay here anymore.""Don't worry, I'm looking into it." Quinley then added, "But I have to remind you that you should not think of going to the ob-gyn department to see Josiah or Meredith. Stay low if you don't want all of your efforts to go to waste.""Mm…"Ysabelle replied half-heartedly.Quinley was not sure if Ysabelle took her advice seriously but she could not care less anymore.Because Quinley was simply scaring her.…Meredith went through a checkup for her pregnancy.The doctor and nurses were extra careful as Meredit
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
