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
Mary said without any expression, "You don't have to explain it to me. After all, no one will be willing to marry a useless man.""Mrs. Larson, how could you say that of Charlie?" Meredith was in disbelief. "Being crippled doesn't mean he is useless. You should encourage him and console him that even if his legs are crippled, he could still live a good life.""Are you lecturing me?" Mary raised her eyebrows."I'm sorry. That's not what I mean. I only hope that Charlie can get better soon." Meredith was worried she had misspoken. She said to Mary, "Charlie hasn't had breakfast yet. Please try to persuade him to eat."Then, Meredith quickly left. She planned to return to the office to do some work while ignoring Charlie for a bit.Mary thought that Meredith was about to abandon her son. She was so furious her face turned blue. She stood outside the door for a while before entering.Seeing the disappointment on Charlie's face in bed, Mary knew that he was missing Meredith."Charlie
"Why are you looking at me with such a wary face?" Josiah was feeling uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. He mocked, "Charlie is already in this state, what else could I do to him?""Who knows? After all, Mister Josiah, your ways had always been ruthless," Meredith said coldly.Josiah sneered, "Meredith, you're not that charming.""It's best if that's the case." Meredith did not plan to continue talking to him. She walked past him.Josiah saw the thermos in her hands. He uncontrollably held her hand and asked, "Did you make them yourself?"Meredith was forced to stop in her tracks. She turned back and asked him, "Is there a problem with that?"Josiah was speechless from her question. He immediately shook his head. "Nothing, I'm just asking."He did not know why he would ask such a useless question. Perhaps, at the thought of Meredith making breakfast for other men, he felt unhappy about it.He said, "I haven't had your breakfast for a long time."Meredith looked at him
Meredith had put it so seriously and sincerely. It was clear to please him. Although Charlie was moved by it, he could not hear her intentions.He turned around and looked at her. He asked, "Meredith, do you love me?" "Of course, if not why would I marry you?""Isn't it because I have helped you a lot and pursued you for a long time?""Of course, not." Meredith shook her head. She held his hand. "Charlie, why would you have such thoughts? If I don't love you yet marry you, this isn't repaying you. This is biting the hand that fed me, you understand?""I don't," Charlie said."Marriage is a matter of a lifetime. If I don't love you yet marry you, this is an irresponsible way of doing things. I won't be so selfish."Charlie looked at her. His eyes reddened a little."Since I have fallen in love with you and married you, I will never leave you for the rest of my life. Unless you fall in love with another woman like Josiah." Meredith squeezed his hand tightly. "So, please don't ch
The caretaker did not know their relationship. She smiled and said, "Mister Larson, your wife has such a good temper. No matter how you make a fuss, she just smiles."Hearing what the caretaker said, Charlie could not help but think back to when Meredith was with Josiah and the number of things she had to bear because of Nia.This was her character. She was extremely kind.Although Charlie had calmed down for the next few days, he seemed to have become a changed person.He became a sensitive person with low self-esteem. Meredith had to tiptoe around him when she talked to him. She was afraid that she would accidentally poke him where it hurt.Charlie in this way broke her heart, yet she was helpless about it. She could only carefully stay with him.That day, Meredith was stuck in traffic. When she reached the hospital, it was almost seven in the evening.She apologized while entering, "I'm sorry I'm late. You must be famished."Charlie looked at the travel-worn Meredith. He cou
Then, she took out a band-aid from the drawer.Charlie lowered his head dejectedly. "I never thought I would be so useless. I can't even help you with something as simple as your cut.""Charlie, don't say that. Once your leg recovers, you'll be able to move more freely." Meredith passed him the band-aid."Come, help me with it."Charlie accepted the band-aid and carefully wrapped it around her wound.Meredith took the opportunity to explain, "When I sent Nia to Josiah's mansion, I realized I forgot to take bowls, so I got Lily to lend me two bowls."Charlie was speechless."Lily said that Josiah had an important meeting that night. He hasn't got off work yet."Charlie held her hand apologetically. "Meredith, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you.""It's fine. As long as you don't overthink this." Meredith secretly let out a sigh of relief.Meredith was in the hospital with Charlie for the entire night. The next day, she had breakfast with him before leaving for the office.
That was the first time that Josiah gave her juice, but he was actually there to kill her child.The impression was so deep that she was frightened when she saw him bringing her juice."What's wrong?" Josiah saw that something was off, and he asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?""No." She shook her head. She stared at the juice and said, "Do you remember the last time you brought me freshly squeezed juice?"Josiah did not expect that she would ask such a question. He was taken aback.Usually, he would never serve her juice. So, he naturally remembered that time."I remember." Josiah nodded and admitted, "Edith, I remember all those things, but I hope you can forget them.""I want to forget it too, but unfortunately..." She shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Forget it, let's not mention it, let's get down to business."Josiah sat down opposite her and pushed the juice in front of her again. "Edith, there is no poison in this glass of juice, you can drink it.""No, I'
Meredith turned and walked toward the elevator.While waiting for the elevator, she saw Josiah standing behind her from the mirror on the door panel. She stared at him suspiciously and asked, "Mister Josiah, is there anything else I can do for you?""Not really. I'll take you downstairs." "No need.""I want to walk you to your car," Josiah insisted.Meredith knew that she could not persuade him, so she did not bother to talk to him.It was not until he brought her to the car that he stopped. Josiah watched her get in the car and fastened her seat belt. Finally, he said, "Be careful on the road."Meredith did not even know how to respond to him.Should she give him a cold look, or wave goodbye to him?In the end, she said, "Mister Josiah, we don't have to be like this."She has said this many times, but Josiah still adhered to his own principles. He did not force her to do anything, but he also did not give up on her.…Charlie was discharged from the hospital after stayin
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
