Meredith could not help but walk into the bedroom. With every step she took, it was like someone put a tremendous weight on her, crushing her lungs. She felt so uncomfortable she could barely breathe.Yena was much skinnier than before. Her face was as pale as paper. It was a heartbreaking sight to see."Yena," Meredith looked at her and called out to her. She smiled bitterly and said, "I know you didn't mean it. I know you're the victim, like me, but you're much luckier. At least Josiah still loves you. I have nothing anymore. No, I have a huge debt and a mother and a daughter to rescue. I can't hold it any longer."I beg you, please come around quickly. Because only if you come around can you clear me of my name and then I can leave that devil forever."Meredith's tears which she fought so hard to keep in fell once again. At the thought of how deep the misunderstanding Josiah had for her, she quickly wiped her tears away and walked out of the bedroom.The moment she walked out o
The nurse quickly ran up. She apologized nervously, "I'm sorry, Mister Josiah. I touched Miss Yena just now. I didn't feel that she was cold, so I…went down to have breakfast.""How unprofessional. Who sent you here?""I'm sorry. It's my fault…""Leave!"The nurse was so frightened her face turned pale. She frantically ran away.Josiah went over to turn up the temperature and tucked Yena in properly, then he only left when he felt her body temperature return to normal.When he walked out of the bedroom, he realized that Meredith was still kneeling by the door.He furrowed his brows.Meredith reached out and tugged the corner of his sleeves. She pleaded, "Josiah, please let my mother go. I beg of you…""Let your mother go?" He gazed down at her and sneered, "Sure.""Do you mean it?" Meredith straightened her back excitedly. She looked at him. "Mister Josiah. If you let my mother go, I am really willing to do anything, besides…dying."She could not die at that moment! She was
No matter how she thought about it, Ysabelle still could not wrap her head around why Josiah wanted Meredith to take care of Yena.There were a bunch of doctors and nurses who were much more professional than Meredith in the hospital. Ysabelle herself too had volunteered to stay in the mansion to take care of Yena on the first day that Yena was discharged from the hospital, yet Josiah only wanted that b*tch, Meredith, to take care of Yena?"Josiah, could you bear to let Meredith take care of Yena? What happens if she secretly poisons Yena?"Josiah's head was buried in the documents in his hands. His eyebrows scrunched in annoyance.It was as if Ysabelle did not notice. She continued to swing Josiah's arm. "Josiah, I'm really worried for Yena. I'm willing to stay here to take care of her. Just let me do it, please?"Josiah finally turned to the side and looked at her. "Why do you think that Meredith would poison Yena?"Ysabelle hesitated for a while before saying, "It was Yena who
"Is this how you are going to treat me?" Ysabelle dragged a chair over and sat down. She glared at Meredith. "Meredith, don't forget that the person your mom pushed was me. If I'm not going to write you a pardon letter, even if Josiah is willing to help you, it's useless."Meredith's massaging actions paused for a while. Sure enough, her attitude instantly softened.Ysabelle said, "You're only a wretched b*tch, yet you want to go up against me? You're overestimating your abilities!""Please be merciful and don't mind this wretched b*tch." Meredith thought for a while and deliberately said, "But, Ysabelle, Josiah might be foolishly fooled by you for three years, it might not last until the fourth year. One day, he will see through your pretentious behavior. To be honest, if I were you, I would be kinder. Going the dark side, you will meet the devil one day."Ysabelle was furious. "What did you say?""I'm only advising you out of my good heart. If you don’t like to hear it, then jus
Ysabelle suppressed her urge to smile. "Meredith, you said you're not a whore? Now, who would ever believe that? Everyone knows about the things you've done at the club. You're just a b*tch yet you want to pretend otherwise? I'm dying with laughter!""Then, just think of me as a whore. Since I am such a nobody, just fight hard to become Missus Shelby, you don't have to waste your time and energy on me," Meredith said before lowering her head to continue massaging Yena.…Although it was the weekend, Josiah spent all his time working in his study. By evening, his phone rang. When he saw it was his good friend, Liam, he immediately answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker. "What's going on?""I heard that you recently like to hit the Luna Club? Why are you not taking me there when you know I've returned to the country?""I'm not going," Josiah said with a calm voice while going through some documents."Why? Is it because Miss Meredith is no longer there, so you abandoned t
Lynn glared at Meredith. She thought that Meredith liked to be in the limelight too much. The important thing was, in comparison, did that mean that Lynn herself did not care about Josiah's dietary needs?Meredith knew that Lynn was unhappy with her, but to appease the devil that was Josiah, she could no longer care.Meredith walked over to Josiah and scooped a bowl of grains for Josiah. "Sir, this is a bowl of mixed grains. It's good for the stomach, and it tastes good too."Then, she gave him a piece of fish. "Sir, this fish is rather appetizing, you…""Of course, I know that this is fish. I also know that this is quite appetizing," Josiah interrupted her. He looked at her and sneered, "After all, I have had quite some of this fish back then."Meredith lowered her head. She was just about to pass him the other dish when her chin was suddenly grabbed."Meredith. Are you sure you didn't mean anything else by it when you made me this meal?"Meredith was speechless. Her jaw was gr
After seeing Yena, Josiah turned and left.Meredith was woken up due to the cold. When she woke up, she coincidentally saw Josiah turning away and leaving. She felt slightly disappointed.Josiah was her husband, yet he only had eyes for Yena. She, on the other hand, as his wife, has to even stay and take care of Yena. There was no other wife on this earth who was as much a failure as she.No. She was already his ex-wife. He has his reasons to ignore her. After comforting herself that way, Meredith felt a little better.…Early in the morning, Meredith woke up to make breakfast.She made oatmeal porridge with berries. It tasted amazing. Lynn coldly mocked, "I'm not one to complain, but you've done such a simple meal, are you starving Mister Josiah on purpose?""Don't worry, as long as the nutrition is balanced, he won't lose any weight." Meredith did not want to form feuds with anyone, so she patiently explained.However, she has already stolen Lynn's thunder. No matter how pa
"All…the chores?" Alfred was tongue-tied. He thought he misheard.Meredith immediately said, "Alfred, I can do it!""Miss Meredith, you know how big this mansion is. Can you really do it?" Alfred hinted at her with a look, reminding her that if she were to beg for forgiveness from Josiah in time, she still might have a chance of turning things around.He did not expect Meredith to answer, "I really can do it."Since Josiah has forced her to stay in the mansion to take care of Yena, would that not be a good thing if she could work more and earn more?As long as there is money, she did not care how tough it was or how tired she was.Since she had already agreed to it, Alfred could say nothing else. Once the servants heard that they had paid leave, naturally, they were all elated.The mansion was instantly much quieter.Josiah was eating the bowl of porridge. He had to admit that Meredith's skills were much better compared to three years ago. The porridge she made had just the rig
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
