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
Tianna smiled brightly, showing off her dimples. She stretched out her chubby little arms, asking for a hug. "Let's take a bath first. I'll carry you later." Sigrid took a small bath towel and gently wiped her body. Tianna's skin was full of collagen and had no blemishes. Sigrid had always been confident of her skin, but she was starting to envy Tianna's. After cleaning Tianna up, Sigrid was done with her own bath. She carried Tianna out of the bath and wiped her. She dressed Tianna in cute little pyjamas, then blew dry her hair with a small hairdryer, taking care to put it on the lowest setting. After that, she carried her out of the bathroom. George was dealing with work affairs when he heard the bathroom door open. He sped up and managed to finish everything within half an hour. He then took his bath. When he came out of the bathroom, Tianna was already asleep. Over the past half a month, Tianna seemed to have forgotten about Clark an
The smile on Rachel's face suddenly disappeared. She glanced at her brother in disgust and said, "Charles, why does Miss Lawson come here to look for you almost every single day?" Cyrus had a busy filming schedule for his new movie. He didn't have time to accompany Rachel. Thus, she had already returned home two weeks ago. In these two weeks, Charles was home almost every day. He seemed to be taking his annual leave. Thus, he was very free. The eldest daughter of the Lawson family came to look for him almost every day. Charles was seemingly a little impatient. "Let her in." Rachel pouted her lips and had a disdainful look on. Sigrid asked curiously, "Who is Miss Lawson?" "Charles' fake girlfriend. They're supposedly engaged, but they're actually just using each other. Don't misunderstand though, they won't end up together like novels always say. He's interested in her younger sister." The lives of nobility were so complicated! Sigr
