"Do you have the heart to see that the whole class is accompanied by their parents, but Nia is the only one standing there alone?"Meredith really could not bear it.She had no choice but to say, "Mister Josiah, Charlie and I participated in Nia's parent-child activities before, and we'll go again.""What did you say?" Josiah was speechless. "You asked Charlie to participate in Nia's parent-child activities?""Why not? Charlie is now Nia's stepfather, and he has a good relationship with Nia.""I'm Nia's father.""After you get married, you can also take Nia's new mom to participate in parent-child activities. I will not stop you."Josiah was angry and anxious for a while.Was he about to give up his woman to his rival? This was like gouging his heart out!"With Charlie like this, how can he do a show?" He said without giving up.Meredith smiled and said, "You can rest assured Mister Josiah. Charlie can act and sing. It's easy for our family of three to put together a show, so
"I...I'm not disrespecting your wishes, I just want to tell you that no matter what you become, Nia and I are the closest people to you. That's why I want you to accompany me to participate in parent-children activities.""Nia still loves her biological father. Let her biological father accompany her.""Charlie, are you serious?""Yes, you can do whatever you want." Charlie turned the wheelchair to leave.Meredith hurriedly grabbed his wheelchair. "Okay, if you don't want to go, I won't force you. Let's have a good meal first, shall we?""I don't want to eat, I have no appetite.""If you don't eat, you will starve. Look, all these dishes are all made by me personally. You like to eat those, right?""I said I don't need you to please me like this!" Charlie waved his palm angrily and moved his wheelchair away.Watching him leave, Meredith sighed helplessly.Caring for someone who was physically and psychologically traumatized was so hard.However, she will not give up. After al
The nicer she was to him, the more pressure he felt in his heart and the more uncomfortable it was.This kind of discomfort would not go away easily.Meredith hugged him and comforted him for a while before letting go of him. "Charlie, shall we eat the noodles first?"This time, Charlie did not refuse. He picked up the noodles and ate silently.After eating the noodles, he handed the bowl back to Meredith and said, "Meredith, next time you don't have to cook for me by yourself. You can just ask the chef to cook for me.""Well, I only do it when I have nothing to do.""Meredith, you're so busy with work now. How could you be free?" Charlie was not stupid.The company just got on the right track, it should be her busiest time.He used to be able to help her when his legs were good, but now, he could not help her. He knew that he was dragging her down.…Charlie was unwilling to accompany Meredith to participate in Nia's parent-child activities, so Meredith had to go alone.Nia
It was not until Nia's figure completely disappeared from the crowd that Meredith turned to look at Josiah and said, "Why are you here? Didn't I say that you didn't need to come?""You also agreed that Charlie would accompany you, but where is he?" Josiah looked around and asked.Meredith was speechless."Charlie still can't face the eyes of outsiders for a while, so he can't come." "I expected as much."Meredith looked at his calm expression, and said angrily, "It's your fault that Charlie has become what he is now."Josiah did not want to talk about Charlie's car accident.Besides, today was Nia's parent-child activity, and he did not want to get into trouble with Meredith before it even starts."Let's go in." Josiah took her little hand.Meredith instinctively flung his hand away.Josiah originally thought she did not want to be close to him, but after seeing the discomfort flashing on her face, he glanced at her hand unconsciously.Then he grabbed her hand and looked a
"My suggestion is that when it's Nia's turn, you use the toilet as an excuse to avoid it.""You look down on me so much?" Josiah raised his eyebrows."Of course.""I heard Nia say that you two planned to play the piano together, right? It should be okay to add one person, right?""You can play the piano?""Didn't you claim that you have liked me since you were 14 or 15 years old? I guess you don't know me well at all?""I thought you forgot how to play."Of course, she knew that he also learned the piano since he was a child, but after he focused on learning to manage the company, he never touched the piano again. After so many years, he must have forgotten how to play the piano."I can still play." Josiah was confident. "Just play the part of your right hand for me. It just so happens that you have an injury on your left hand."Meredith lowered her head and glanced at her fingers.This time, she was really hurt quite deeply, and her inflammation came back, which would affect
"What do you mean? How am I ostentatious?" Meredith was unhappy."It looks too ostentatious, and it's easy to be remembered."Although Josiah was playing the piano just now, he vaguely felt that there were several male parents in the audience looking at her, coveting her beauty. It was as if their eyes were glued to her.Meredith was speechless. She was already Charlie's wife. Even if she was worried about other guys, she was worried for Charlie. What did it have anything to do with Josiah?Besides, there were more mothers who come to participate in parent-child activities than fathers. This way, more people would remember him, so he should be worried about himself."Well then, Mister Josiah, you can go," she said.When it was Josiah and Nia's turn, the father and daughter cooperated very well at first, but Nia accidentally tripped and fell.Fortunately, Josiah moved fast enough to hold her steady, so she did not fall.However, because of this accident, they could not aim for
"Don't move." Meredith held Josiah's body, and she called the ambulance.If his waist was really broken, things will become worse if he moves."No." Josiah raised his hand to stop her from making calls. "Let's not get too dramatic. I'll just lie down.""Didn't you say your waist is broken?" Meredith looked at him. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and patted his arm. "Josiah, are you pretending to be dead with me again? Why don't you get up?"Josiah looked at her angry face and said helplessly, "Edith, am I such a rascal in your heart? All I do is pretend to be dead?""Isn't your waist broken?""Well, I don't think it's broken, but it really hurts a bit."It was a lie to say that it did not hurt when they fell several steps, especially when he was crushed by Meredith's body.Meredith thought about how he fell to save her, and she immediately showed a hint of guilt. "Why are you so stupid to run up to help me? If I fell by myself, it wouldn't be so serious."After all, she fell fac
"Your waist won't really break, right?" She looked at him and said with a serious expression, "Mister Josiah, don't force it. If you cause a second injury, you won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of your life."Josiah stared at her and suddenly asked with a smile, "If I can't get out of bed, will you come back to me?""Of course not." Meredith said angrily, "Josiah, please pay attention to your words in front of children.""Just kidding, Nia won't mind."Meredith could not do anything about him, so she shook her head. "Forget it, I'll take you to the hospital for a check first."Helping him to the car, Meredith first asked Walter to take her and Josiah to the hospital, and then asked Walter to take Nia home.The little girl looked at Daddy worriedly.Josiah smiled at her and said, "Nia, don't worry, Daddy is fine."Although his back was aching, Josiah felt that the pain was worth it when he was able to get along with Meredith.That was right, today's Mister Josiah wa
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
