After an hour, the man was sent in.Meredith measured the skinny man up. He saw her too, then his expression slowly turned into surprise.Clearly, he recognized her."You know me?" Meredith got up from the sofa, walked over to him, and asked, "That's strange. If you were to accidentally crash into me, how do you know me?"The man calmly shook his head. "No, I don't know you.""But your expressions sold you out. You know me. From this, I could see that the day of the accident was not the first time you saw me." Meredith pretended to ponder for a while. "Let me guess. Someone must have shown you a photo of me and my husband so that you could crash into us, right""No. No. It's nothing like that." The man shook his head. "Miss, you're mistaken. I really don't know you."Meredith took out a check from her back and raised it in front of him. "This is twenty-thousand dollars. All you need to do is tell me whether someone ordered you to do this, and who was the one who ordered you to d
Naturally, Quinley would not want to embarrass herself in front of someone she knew, especially in front of Meredith, but it was too late to hide. She could only brace herself and walked over to Meredith."What? Is it strange?" She crossed her arms around her chest and walked over. Her bright red lips curled into a mocking smile. "Meredith, I'm sure that you're happy to see me ending up like this, right? If you're happy, just laugh at me. You don't have to hold back."Meredith shrugged nonchalantly. "Miss Allison, please don't be so full of yourself. Do you think I have time to be happy over someone so unimportant?"Quinley's expressions changed. She was going mad with jealousy.She never thought that back then, after she finally forced Meredith away from Josiah with much difficulty, Meredith became even more stunning two years later. She even had a company of her own.She, on the other hand, had lost all of her family and wealth and she had to sell her body to make a living.Mer
"She is Yena. Isn't Yena your enemy?" Quinley chuckled. "It's amusing thinking about it. The person that you have been constantly looking for has always been next to you. She was also constantly coveting for your husband."Yena?!It was Yena!Meredith shook her head instinctively. "I don't believe it. How could it be Yena? She…""What about her? She was Miss Leah's daughter? She had always grown up in Jehovah City?" Quinley said, "That's because she was sold to Miss Leah's family. She was never Miss Leah's biological daughter."Meredith never expected that Qira's younger sister was Yena. Qira was so kind and gentle, Yena was…Thinking back about how Yena defamed her in front of Josiah back then, she was instantly disappointed."Meredith, I'm doing it for your own good," Quinley said."No. You didn't tell me only so that you could watch me fight with Yena. Best if we all got hurt and you could take advantage of it." Meredith immediately saw through her scheme. "It's only a pit
"Yes."Meredith was speechless."Miss Meredith, you're like me back then. You have not an ounce of ability to judge for yourself. Naturally, you'll be like me back then, blinded by your own ego, going off course.""I won't," Meredith said confidently.Josiah looked at her. "Then, what are you doing here? Aren't you here to interrogate me?""What use is there if not just a waste of energy?""So?" Josiah was curious. "What are you here for?""Nothing. I just want to ask you about Yena.""Yena?""Yes." Meredith looked at his face and said without any expression, "Seven years ago, you almost had me killed because of her. You even tried killing your child. Two years ago, you kicked me out of the hospital once more because of her. You even stood me up the day we were supposed to register our marriage. From there, I could see that your feelings for Yena were not that simple. How could you just let go of such a relationship?""What do you mean by that?" Josiah was truly confused.He
"I want you to know that even if I, Josiah Shelby, can't win my wife back, I won't just simply marry others, especially a b*tch like Yena! I want you to know that I only have you in my heart." Then, Josiah kissed Meredith fiercely.The familiar scent. The usual domineering character. Meredith was long used to his habits, but she was still subdued by him."Woo, woo…" She suddenly thought about Charlie at the hospital. Her hands that stopped fighting a moment ago started struggling again.The more she struggled, the more addicted Josiah became. He had not touched those lips for two years. It kept sucking him in like some magical force.On top of that, Meredith's familiar scent drove him wild. He could not let her go. If it were not for Meredith's sudden slap on his face, he would have continued being hooked on her.After a loud slap, the entire study room quieted down. Josiah looked at Meredith with an ashen face. He did not know what to do with her. Meredith, on the other han
"You forced your way here. Can I not agree to it?" Josiah smiled helplessly. "If our daughter sees this. She would think I was bullying her Mommy."Listening to his words two years ago, Meredith might still find some warmth in them. However, that day, she only felt uncomfortable listening to him.After all, she was already Charlie's wife. She was just thinking about Charlie when her phone rang.She just picked up when the caretaker said anxiously, "Mrs. Larson, it's bad. Mister Larson has gone mad. Come quickly.""What do you mean? What happened to Charlie?" Meredith anxiously asked. She quieted down and could vaguely hear Charlie yelling.She could barely ask any further questions before directly hanging up the call."What happened?" Josiah saw her running out. He grabbed her arm and asked her.Meredith turned around and looked at him with a complicated gaze. "I'm guessing Charlie has found out about his crippled legs. Are you happy now?"Then, she shrugged his hand off and co
"Charlie, your legs are not…""You don't have to lie to me! I heard it! I heard it all!" Charlie pushed her away with all his might. He said angrily, "All of you are lying to me, right? You just want me to be the butt of the joke!""No. Charlie, can you calm down first?""My legs are crippled. How could I calm down? How could I!?"The things on the table and bed had been thrown away by him. He could only hit himself to relieve himself of the anger. "Why did you all save me? Why don't you just let me die? I don't want to live a life as a disabled person. I would rather die! Do you hear me!?" Charlie was so agitated his eyes reddened.Meredith gritted her teeth and yelled at him, "Charlie, are you blaming me?"She pounced at him, grabbed his agitated trembling body, and said, "Charlie, you have become like this because of me. Even if you want to die, I should be the one who dies first. You don't want to live anymore, right? Okay, I'll die first. Once I die, no one will stop you any
Clearly, Charlie was tired from the tantrum he threw.Afraid that he would flare up once more, Meredith stayed by his side. It was until midnight when she finally saw Charlie fall asleep. She finally let out a sigh of relief.The next day, when Charlie woke up, he no longer threw a fit. He merely silently looked at the ceiling.Meredith could see that he was defeated by his crippled legs, but this situation was not any better than throwing a fit.After all, at least if he was throwing a fit, he could release his emotions.Meredith served him the breakfast she prepared. She said gently, "Charlie, you must be starving. Let's have breakfast."Charlie ignored her. He merely looked at the ceiling with a hollow gaze."Charlie, I haven't had my breakfast either," Meredith said with a smile, "I remember what you said before, that you'll have breakfast with me every day. Are you planning on reneging your promise so quickly?"Charlie's eyes finally moved a little, but they still did not
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
