This was good as well.This woman did not have the right to the Qira's sister at all."You don't have the right to ask about her," Meredith said without any expression, "in short, just remember, I won't hold you accountable anymore not because I'm weak, and not because I am kind as well. Therefore, I hope this won't happen again."If she was not so vicious and selfish, Meredith was very willing to help her live comfortably.However, the woman in front of her…Meredith decided to just forget it and just start off with a clean slate from then on.She turned around and was about to leave, but Yena suddenly got up from the floor and said, "Meredith, you've slapped me twice just now, and I won't just let it go. I'll make you pay for it one day.""..." Meredith did not even turn her head around and just simply said, "You're impertinent!"She finally understood why this woman wanted to send those photos to Charlie. She clearly did not want Meredith and Josiah to be happy.Perhaps it
Meredith felt a little helpless and sighed secretly.She never expected that Charlie would become so sensitive and would suspect that she was together with Josiah at the slightest movement.Perhaps it was because of the photos, so she could not blame him as well."I've told Josiah earlier that I would be responsible to pick up Nia from now on. I was busier today, so I asked Wilma to pick her up."She walked toward him and handed the sunflowers in her hand to him. "Charlie, I've just got this for you on the way home after work."In the past, if Meredith gave him flowers, Charlie would be so happy that he could fly. However, at that moment, he started suspecting her motivations instead."Why did you suddenly give me flowers?" The way he looked at her was as if he was asking her why she bought him flowers if her conscience was clear.Meredith was a little hurt and smiled. "Charlie, didn't I occasionally buy you flowers as well when we were abroad? I bought them when I thought of it
"Let's make something handmade for Papa Charlie," Nia said."Okay. We can also go out for dinner," Meredith suggested."Okay!" Nia agreed."Deal. Hurry up and finish your homework," Meredith urged.She planned to have a family dinner on Christmas Day but she was afraid that Charlie would refuse to go out. On Christmas Day, she finally asked, "Charlie, it's Christmas Day today. Why don't we go out and have dinner together with Nia?"As expected, Charlie rejected the suggestion, "Why do we need to eat out? Can't we just eat at home?""There's more fun eating out and the environment is more happening too," Meredith explained with a light smile, "Kids always prefer happening places. We used to eat out too, didn't we?""That was before I got stuck in this wheelchair. It's a whole different story now," Charlie said lightly.Meredith tried to persuade him to change his mind patiently, "Charlie, it has been a long time since then. You should try going out for some fresh air. Or else, y
"No. I was looking at Nia," Meredith answered.There was no huge emotional change for Charlie but he spoke very plainly, "I'm sure you must be yearning to go celebrate Christmas with them.""No…" Meredith said."It's normal that you wish to go. No one would prefer to stay at home to accompany a crippled," Charlie said."Does it please you to always be in such a negative mood every day?" Meredith sighed helplessly, "How are you ever going to get better in this way?"Meredith continued to talk while holding Charlie's hand. "Alright. Stop putting those foolish ideas in your head. It's Christmas day today. What about we have turkey for dinner tonight?""You should celebrate Christmas with them. I don't want to get in the way," Charlie insisted."Charlie, I never thought of you that way," Meredith refuted."But the way you look at Josiah just shows how much you are missing him." Charlie could not stop his thoughts from coming out of his mouth."Charlie Larson! You…" Meredith was lo
Meredith was mentally tired. She longed for her freedom. Nevertheless, it did not mean that she wanted to be away from Charlie like now. What she yearned the most was to change Charlie with her sincerity and kindness so Charlie could get better soon.The longer she was in that environment, the more she missed the old Charlie who had always been very positive and caring for her with a smile all the time. Too bad, she did not think she would ever see that Charlie anymore.Although she was facing the sunset, she did not feel any warmth from it. The Christmas caroling on the street did not help to ease her bad mood too. When the wind came blowing, she was so cold that her body started to shiver. She looked at her body and only realized that she was not wearing her trench coat. No wonder she felt so cold.Due to the festive season, the street was very happening. Most of the crowd were walking in pairs. Meredith used both of her hands to rub her arms and walked slowly among the crowd. She
As soon as Meredith realized she was in Crest Care Hospital, she quickly kept her head lowered and avoided bumping into people who know her. Regardless of that, she was too naive. At that point when her name got entered into the hospital's computer, the doctor immediately noticed it. In addition, her name was not that common so the doctor quickly presumed it was the Meredith that he thought of. By the time, the doctor saw her face, he could confirm that it was her.When Josiah received the information from the hospital, he was playing sparkles with Nia by the river. His mind went blank for a minute. Then he immediately called Nia who was playing happily with the other kids, "Nia, Daddy needs to deal with an urgent matter. Can I let Uncle Walter send you back home first?""What?" Nia's smile disappeared from her face immediately. She said sadly, "But you said you would bring me to have supper and have fun in the igloo!""I'll bring you out for supper tomorrow. And the igloo is a fake
Maybe a person was easily moved and touched when he or she was at the most vulnerable moment. However, the reality Meredith faced had forced her to wake up from her imagination. She looked at him with a very plain and cold face, "Why are you here?"Josiah rushed in and squatted before her to check out the wound that was about the size of a half palm on her ankle. He asked, "What happened? What did Charlie do to you?""He did nothing. I accidentally fell down." Meredith urged the nurse to put on the bandage for her."You fell down by accident again?" Josiah was even more furious when he heard the answer. "Aren't you sick of this excuse?""I really did fall down nearby this area." Meredith glared at Josiah angrily. "But you, Mister Josiah, you know that we could easily cause misunderstanding every time we see each other. Why do you still come here? Did you purposely come here to create trouble for me?"Josiah was out of words."I don't want Charlie to misunderstand us. So Mister Jo
"Hey, you have misunderstood us. I don't have the kind of relationship you think I have with him." Meredith said."You don't?" The lady was obviously confused."No it's okay, thank you for the reminder, I will definitely pay more attention in the future." Josiah said.The lady said 'oh', guessing that Meredith was using such angry words as she was still angry with her husband."Since you're here, I can go back with confidence," said the lady."Okay, thank you." Josiah nodded."Hey lady, leave me your number, and I'll transfer you the medical fees.""No, no, you are both too good-natured and kind. This is my responsibility, and I should pay for the medical expenses.""It's really not necessary."Josiah looked at the lady and then at Meredith, took out the wallet from his pocket and said, "You don't need to go back, just return the money to the lady now.""No, I'll just give it back to her myself.""We have a relationship, do we really need to do this?" Josiah insisted on retu
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
