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
Nia finally felt relieved.Even at a young age, Nia could see that Papa Charlie had become different from before.Meredith gave Charlie and Nia a piece of chicken drumsticks each. Nia took a bite and nodded in praise. "Mommy's chicken drumsticks are still as delicious as ever. What do you think, Papa Charlie?"During this period of time, Charlie had no appetite to eat at all. Anything that came into his mouth would be tasteless.However, looking at Nia's sunny face, he praised, "It's delicious."Meredith smiled and said, "It's delicious and I'll make it for you next time."She put a piece of fish in Charlie's bowl. "Charlie, this is my new dish."Charlie nodded in agreement.After eating for a while, Meredith asked Nia, "Does Nia have any study plans today?""I have to do my homework, read extracurricular books, and practice the piano." Nia suddenly turned to Charlie. "Papa Charlie, I still prefer the drum, can you continue to teach me?"Charlie thought about it and nodded. "
Meredith was startled by his actions and hurriedly grabbed his palm. "Charlie, what are you doing?""I always seem to be causing trouble for you. I'm so useless." Charlie grabbed her bleeding finger and said distressedly, "Meredith, you must be in pain, right? Can you leave me alone next time? ""I'm your wife, so of course, I care about you." Meredith raised her hand and rubbed his handsome face. "Okay, don't blame yourself, it's just a minor injury.""I'm going to find the medicine box." Charlie immediately rolled his wheelchair and moved toward the cabinet. "Wait a moment!"Meredith could not stop him in time. The wheelchair slammed into the sofa and Charlie fell to the ground immediately.He groaned, and he broke out in cold sweat from the pain."Ah, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Meredith hurriedly squatted down to help him, but because of his extreme uncooperativeness, she could not help him.Charlie was lying on the ground, her body trembling slightly.Meredith final
"Mommy, are you awake?""Yes. Good morning, Nia." After saying hello to Nia, Meredith said anxiously to Charlie, "Charlie, why did you get up and run out by yourself? What if you fall down?""I have to try to take care of myself." Charlie said, "It's impossible to be like a parasite all the time, asking for help from others.""You're right, but you can't be too hasty." Meredith persuaded worriedly, "It would be bad if you fall and hurt yourself again.""Can it hurt more than it does now?" Charlie smiled bitterly. "So, it doesn't matter."When Meredith heard his dejected words, she could not help feeling a little sad.He kept saying that he would try his best to get better, but it was very difficult for him to do so.However, thinking about it, she could not blame him. After all, it was difficult for anyone to accept such a huge change."Did Grandma call you just now?" Charlie asked."Yes, Grandma asked us to go back to the old house for dinner tonight, do you want to go?""No
Josiah shook his head and said, "No." "Are you sure?""Grandma, you know that I wouldn't dare lie to you, right?"Old Madam Shelby stared at him for a moment, then nodded. "That's good, then. If I ever find out that you did it, I will never forgive you."Josiah raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why does everyone suspect that I did it? Is it because Charlie kidnapped my woman?""Don't shirk your responsibilities here. It was you who abandoned Meredith, and then Meredith went abroad with Charlie.""Charlie knew that Meredith was my woman and Nia's mom. Isn't it a bit too much for him to do this? Perhaps it's because he has done such an excessive thing himself and feels guilty, so he instantly suspects me after the accident."Old Madam Shelby did not know what to say.After a long while, she said, "Charlie is right. Back then, he and Meredith were both unmarried and consensual, and neither of them did anything wrong to you. So I warn you, don't bother Meredith in the future. Espec
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
