"Daddy, did you ask the kitchen to make chicken legs for Nia?" The little foodie asked, drooling.Josiah nodded. "Of course, Nia came to the hospital to see Daddy and bought dessert for Daddy. Of course, Daddy also prepared something for Nia.""Thank you, Daddy." "You are welcome."Father and daughter clapped their palms tacitly.Although the chicken legs made by the chef are not as delicious as the ones made by Mommy, Nia still ate them with relish.After eating, Meredith packed up the tableware, while Josiah sat on the hospital bed and watched an animation video with Nia.Not long after, Lily came to take Nia home.Meredith was puzzled. She looked at Lily and asked, "Lily, are you here to bring Nia back? I can take her."Lily did not dare to say that Josiah asked her to come. She said with a laugh, "Ma'am, I will take care of Nia. You can stay here and take care of Mister Josiah.""Lily, don't worry, there are so many people taking care of Mister Josiah, but Nia has never
"You—" Meredith stepped toward him. "So you admit that you taught Nia to be like this?""Didn't I swear just now? No.""If you didn't teach it, how could Nia say those words?"Josiah finally raised his face, stared at her, and said, "Meredith, you have underestimated Nia's desire to have Daddy and Mommy together.""..." Meredith was stunned. "What?""Didn't you find out? Nia is more afraid than me that you will leave this house."Josiah said solemnly, "She's sensitive and sensible. Sensible children are naturally more mature, especially in the aspects that she cares about the most.""So, you mean that all those things were self-taught?""Anyway, I definitely didn't teach her those things today."At first, in order to keep Meredith by her side, he did ask Nia to help her. However, he did not need to ask her later. Nia was already very proficient.He coughed dryly and said, "Next time, I'll scold her.""Are you going to scold her?" Meredith was speechless. "Didn't you just say
"Of course. He's in there." Meredith had a bit of a mischievous look."Thank you." Seeing her walking away, Quinley quickly followed. "By the way, Edith, the last time you asked me for help..."Meredith paused and turned to look at her. "How did it go?"After so long without a reply, she thought that Quinley had given up.Quinley shook her head. "It's not too bright. I asked people to go to Qira's hometown to find her, but no one knows where her sister went afterward.""Sure enough, it wouldn't be so easy after all." Meredith curled the corner of her lips bitterly."Edith, don't worry, I will continue to help you find her.""Okay, remember to tell me as soon as you have news."Meredith was not holding out hope."Okay, I will." Quinley asked, "By the way, are you going back?""No, I'm just wandering everywhere." Meredith curled the corners of her lips, looked at her, and said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your chatting.""Edith, don't get me wrong.""Go ahead, go in.
Josiah picked up his phone and dialed Meredith's number.The phone rang for a long time before Meredith answered the call, her tone was a little cold. "What? Are you feeling unwell, Mister Josiah? Is it because you can't take medicine? Do you have trouble eating?""I'm doing fine now." Josiah said calmly, "I just want to inform you that I have guests here. You should take your time downstairs, maybe take a stroll before coming back.""..." Meredith on the other end of the phone thought she had heard it wrong.She took off her mobile phone and glanced at the call number on it. It was indeed Josiah!Was it not just Quinley? What other guests?She bit her lip and responded flatly, "Okay, have a good chat. Call me when you're done."After hanging up the phone, Meredith found a chair and sat down.She took out her mobile phone and looked for a book on the internet.After looking at it for a while, her eyes shifted to time.At first glance, only a minute has passed. It was so slow!
With that demeanor, there was no trace of dislike for Quinley at all.This duplicitous guy turned out to be powerless in the face of beautiful women.The most hateful thing for Meredith was that she unknowingly felt agitated because of his intimate interaction with Quinley.This was simply too embarrassing, too inappropriate!Meredith stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or leave the place, pretending not to see it.Then, she realized that it was getting late, and she had nowhere to go. So, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.When she pushed the door and stepped in, two people in the ward looked at her at the same time.Quinley smiled and stood up from the chair. "Meredith, you're back."Meredith nodded and said, "I didn't disturb you, did I?"Josiah looked at her while biting the apple and said, "Didn't I just say that I will call you after the guest leaves? Why did you come back by yourself?""..." Meredith gritted her teeth secretly and said to him, "It
"I can't sleep without taking a bath.""It's not like you can fall asleep after taking a shower," Meredith whispered."So you know I can't sleep?" Josiah suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.Meredith was going to get a pot of hot water, but she fell directly on top of him because of him."You—" She quickly stood up from him and said anxiously, "Don't blame me if you are crushed, Josiah!""Don't you want to wipe my body for me?" Josiah did not let go. He gently traced his fingertips on her wrist, and his eyes softened. "If you can accompany me to sleep, I don't mind if I don't wipe or take a shower."If she was there, he would be able to fall asleep.Meredith chose to help him wipe his body.She broke free from his big palm, took the basin, and walked to the bathroom to get some hot water."Mister Josiah, can you unbutton yourself?" she asked.Of course Josiah could, but of course, he would not do it by himself. He casually picked up a magazine from the bedside table an
"In my eyes, you are no different from a lump of meat, so stop being narcissistic."In fact, Meredith's words were more like a reminder to herself that she would not be embarrassed to treat him as her patient.Josiah looked at her depressedly, then grabbed her arm while she was not paying attention, and dragged her to the bed.Meredith froze for a moment and instinctively began to struggle. "Josiah, let me go.""Meredith, I have to let you get to know me again." He threw the towel from her hand and put her under him."What is there to know? Let go of me!""At least you have to realize that I'm not just a lump of meat," he said.He undid his clothes when he wiped his body just now, and now his body was close to her. Meredith could clearly feel his strength and enthusiasm.She had to admit that he was very different from a lump of meat!However, she stubbornly continued to struggle. "Josiah, this is a hospital, and doctors may come in for rounds at any time.""Don't worry, ther
"I see that you had a pleasant chat with her just now. How could you not have her phone number?""You're being jealous.""..." Meredith glanced at his still tightly closed eyes, and decided to shut up to avoid making too many mistakes.This night, she was trapped in the hospital bed by Josiah.She could feel that Mister Josiah slept well. Meredith initially planned to return to her bed after he fell asleep, so as not to be seen by others.However, she gradually fell asleep too, and they slept till dawn.In the morning, she was about to get out of bed and go back to make breakfast for Nia, but was pulled by Josiah."Where are you going?" He had not fully woken up yet, and his voice was still hoarse."I'll go back and make breakfast for Nia and take her to school.""Don't need to trouble yourself, just leave it to Lily." Josiah did not want her to be so tired from running around.It was the first time that Meredith did not send Nia to school. In order to persuade him to let her
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
