Sigrid sat aside and listened to the gossip for a long time before dinner was finally served. There were many snacks and pastries that she was not allowed to eat. She sat there for a long time and could only watch them eat. She felt like she almost starved to death. After the dinner officially started, Loris returned. The elders ate next door, and the youngsters were here. Sigrid originally thought she could eat a hearty meal. Then she realized that George was by her side. Thus, she still couldn't eat what he didn't allow her to eat. In the end, she could only watch the food she wanted to eat be eaten up by other people. After dinner, Sigrid followed George to greet the head of the Andrew family and his wife, Vallerie. She still felt a little embarrassed because she had lost her previous memories. However, Vallerie was very concerned about her. She even asked her a lot of questions for a long time. Maybe because Vallerie's eyes were very similar to h
Sigrid looked up and down at Rachel and said, "You didn't gain too much weight." "You can't tell because the clothes are covering it. I was at the office a while ago. I had to take off almost all of my clothes except for the thermal inner-wear. Then I was asked to weigh myself on the scale. My manager complained that I gained two catties from the New Year celebration, and urged me to quickly lose some weight... The entertainment industry is such a scary place!" Sigrid sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, then you just watch me eat at noon today." "No way!" Then she hurriedly pulled Sigrid to leave and said, "Let's go! We'll eat delicious food at noon today! I won't lose weight. Cyrus said that I look good like this at the moment. It doesn't matter if I don't look good on camera as long as he likes it!" Although Rachel came by car, Sigrid still thought it would be better for the driver to send them out. After all, if Rachel was the one who drove, she had to send he
After snapping a picture of the woman's outfit and appearance, Sigrid called the police. Even if the child was abandoned by her parents, they had to be hunted down. The child was only a little more than a year old; she had no means to survive on her own. If the woman who left the child there was her biological mother, she had a legal obligation to raise the child. This situation was a crime of child abandonment. The little girl whimpered, "Mommy..." Suddenly, she broke down in tears. "I want my mommy..." Sigrid quickly wiped her tears. The aggrieved cries of the young child tugged at her heartstrings painfully. Patting the child's back, Sigrid soothed her, "You'll see your mother again soon. Don't cry, okay?" Rachel reached out to caress the girl's hair. "What a pitiful child. She's so cute, too." The police filed a case after scrutinizing the photo Sigrid took. The woman's outfit was noted in the case file. Sigrid asked, "How long will it take to find the
Tianna didn't quite understand what that meant. However, she understood the word "mommy" and immediately smiled brightly. "What's her actual name?" "I don't know either. Actually, we've been so busy with work that we hadn't actually had time to register her particulars. When she first appeared on my doorstep, she was in a basket, and her skin was still red and wrinkled. I think she was probably born not long before that, so I just treat that day as her birthday." Hearing that, Rachel immediately cursed Tianna's biological parents, who had cruelly abandoned her. After Clark told her about Tianna's daily routine, Sigrid thought it over and decided not to give Clark money in the end. If she did, it would just seem like human trafficking. However, she could ask George if he could arrange for her to have a better job. Perhaps the Toland's Group owned a restaurant that could pay her a better salary than this one. The shopping session was delayed till the
Tianna was so little, and George had already thought of her marriage prospects? A child bride? She was supposed to be their daughter! "Child...bride." Tianna repeated George's words, smiling brightly and showing her cute dimples as she thought that she pronounced the words well. "Oh, Tianna, you're too precious!" Sigrid cooed, hugging Tiana and saying happily, "You're not a child bride. You are my daughter! Be a good girl. Call me mommy." "Mommy is not here." Tianna frowned and pouted. Sigrid knew that Tianna still thought of Clark as her mother. However, she still patiently coaxed her, "I am your new mommy." "Mommy is not here," Tianna answered, looking at Sigrid in distress. "She still needs to get used to being away from Clark. Sigrid, you have to give her some time to adjust," Rachel said. Sigrid nodded and carefully glanced at George. She asked, "Can I adopt her?" "It takes a lot of money to raise a child," George replied. Si
After losing miserably to George and begging for mercy, the two of them went to handle the adoption procedure the next morning. They officially adopted Tianna. Sigrid wanted to introduce Tianna to both sides of the family. Thus, she made preparations to bring her to Toland Mansion and then the Andrew family's residence over the weekend. On Saturday, Sigrid gave Tianna a cute hairstyle and put a beautiful little dress on her, with a thick cardigan layered on top. George carried Tianna and departed together with Sigrid. George was worried that the pregnant Sigrid would get tired from carrying Tianna, so he would take over carrying Tianna whenever he was around. Tianna had already been living with them for a few days. However, she still occasionally brought up Clark, her previous foster mother. When they arrived at the Toland Mansion, Logan and Carol were a little surprised when they saw Tianna. They didn't understand where this child had appeared from.
George warned coldly, "I hope you're not a pedophile." Sigrid reacted to the statement swiftly, hiding Tianna behind her back. Protectively, she said, "You should know that the minimum sentence is imprisonment for three years while the maximum sentence is a death penalty!" Jonason was speechless. "Of course not. I was just thinking that she reminded me of someone." Sigrid felt a little relieved at that. She still looked at him defensively, afraid that he'd be interested in her baby girl. Jonason asked curiously, "Since when did you two have a daughter?" "We adopted her." It was obvious that George didn't want to get into the details. He only said, "We're just bringing her here to meet you." Jonason nodded and said, "Who are her biological parents?" "We're not too sure. We're in a rush, let's get going." With that, they left. Jonason took out his mobile phone and dialed Miley's number. The moment the call was connected, Miley's ple
Elizabeth thought about it for a while. Then, she withdrew her gaze, as she couldn't recall where she had seen her before. At this moment, the sounds in the kitchen stopped. Lucas came out of the kitchen with pizza and egg tarts. He didn't stop walking upon seeing two more people in the room. He put the food in front of Elizabeth, then looked towards George, who was carrying Tianna. He asked curiously, "This is...?" Sigrid briefly introduced Tianna to him, then said, "Tianna, this is your uncle." Elizabeth was dumbfounded. She wasn't married. Where had Tianna's uncle come from? Was it Loris' husband? Lucas was equally taken aback. He and Elizabeth weren't even dating yet. Could he be addressed that way? "Uncle." Tianna looked cautiously at Elizabeth after calling Lucas. She seemed to be trying to figure out how she was different from Sigrid. "Good girl!" Lucas pursed his lips and answered her. Better to just respond! Elizabeth was at a loss for
