"I'll go back to deal with my work. Then I'll immediately rush back to accompany you and the children.""I'll wait for you."Ember tenderly hugged Caleb again after sending him to the airport and couldn't help but nag, "After you go back, don't just focus on work. You should also take care of yourself and eat on time."Caleb was reluctant to leave, but he had to.Ember intended to sleep with Jamie and Avery that night since Caleb was absent.The two children laid on Ember's left and right sides, and she carried a picture book in her hand, telling the story to them in a soft voice.Ember was telling the story of a tadpole searching for its mother.Avery had heard that many times before, but he listened closely because Ember was the one speaking.The story was only halfway through when Jamie couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Ember, did the tadpole find its mom in the end?"Jamie stared at Ember with teary eyes, bringing a sudden sadness in her heart."Of course the tadpole found its
"Mommy, I want him to be my tutor."The two talked in unison.Seth was the most attractive and youngest of the three.Given that the two's decisions were made together, the corner of her mouth could not help but curl up in an arc. She just nodded her head in agreement without objecting to the children's decisions."Good. Seth will give you guys lessons from now on, okay?"Jamie glanced up at this tall and attractive young man and smiled widely, displaying her pearly-whites. Two shallow dimples were shown on her little face.After the two children had chosen their teacher, Ember had the housekeeper give her Seth's information.She personally reviewed it and determined that there were no issues. Therefore, she hired him immediately."Seth, from now on, you are in charge of the two children's daily studies. We won't treat you poorly."Seth, who looked scholarly and well-mannered, remained polite and respectful when chatting to Ember. "Thank you, Ms. Sanders. I will teach the two
"Good, I'll make a note of this, when I go to the research institute next time, I'll talk to Professor Stone, I'm sure he likes passionate researchers like you."Wilson had a good old-fashioned smile on his face and smiled. "Thank you Dr. Sanders. I’ll definitely do my best to research the special medicine that can cure your mother as soon as possible."Ember was extremely grateful."Dr. Sanders, it's getting late, why don't I invite you to dinner, just so the two of us can sit down and chat about the research at the institute."When Ember heard this, she didn't hesitate and opened her mouth to consent.However, before she could finish her sentence, a low, mesmerizing male voice emerged from behind her."I'm sorry, Dr. Wilson. I'm afraid she can't make it today as I want to bring her on a date."Ember twisted her head in astonishment when she heard Caleb's voice and saw the man approaching her in wide strides.The corners of her mouth couldn't help but bloom into a smile as she
Caleb investigated Wilson, but he did not find anything wrong with him. Instead, Wilson was notably professional.He was well known for his expertise in comatose patients.Moreover, he was in charge of Ember's mother while she was in a coma.Caleb doubted Wilson's intention, but Ember thought he was just jealous.Ember smiled and promised softly, "Okay, okay. I'll keep my distance from Dr. Wilson, okay? I promise.""Fine."Caleb smiled, and his gaze softened when he heard Ember's doting words. -Caleb kept his promise about the date.He had been busy working day and night since returning from abroad.He had not contacted Ember since. Of course, he wished he could stay with Ember all the time and spend time together with just the two of thjem.Caleb took Ember to a famous nearby restaurant."This restaurant is famous for its food. Let's try some. Just the two of us."Ember smiled sweetly while holding Caleb's hand.Unexpectedly, they saw Susan there.Susan was there with
"Mr. Lane, what a coincidence."Caleb stared at Susan coldly.He raised his chin condescendingly and said coldly, "Yeah, there's not many restaurants here. We could meet anyone."Caleb was disgusted by Susan's tone.He intended to leave, but Susan grabbed his wrist and stopped him. She looked at Caleb with a pitiful and innocent look. "Mr. Lane, I admire you, but that's all. I won't do anything. I hope Dr. Sanders doesn't misunderstand my intentions."Susan said it deliberately to express her feelings for Caleb while provoking his relationship with Ember.Caleb felt offended by her touch.He suddenly raised his hand, pushed Susan away, and warned coldly, "Ms. Baker, don't touch me. Your feelings have nothing to do with me. I know what you're up to."Caleb strode away without looking at her again.Susan stood there. Her smile faded as she looked at Caleb.Ember was ready to leave when Caleb returned.She asked, "What took you so long?"Caleb seemed to be in a bad mood. He
Ember waved the paper to Caleb and asked, "What's this?"Caleb was confused. "Huh? Is it in my pocket?"Ember nodded.That paper was folded twice into a square, so it was not garbage.She strode to a streetlight, slowly opened the paper, and saw a hotel room number alongside a scribbled note. "Mr. Lane, I'll be waiting for you tonight. We'll have so much fun together."Ember was alarmed.Someone was trying to seduce Caleb!Caleb caught up and glanced at the paper.Ember angrily balled up the paper before Caleb could read it. She then looked at Caleb and asked, "Did you meet someone in the washroom?"Caleb was stunned and quickly figured it out.His expression became horrifying.Susan!Caleb put his hands on her shoulders and explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't know about the paper and so as its content. I met Susan on my way back from the washroom."Susan's name made Ember unpleased.She glared at Caleb angrily, threw the paper to him, and strode forward without saying a word
Ember and Caleb returned home.Jamie and Avery ran toward them happily.Jamie had accepted Caleb after living together for days.She jumped happily before Caleb and called out to him continuously."Uncle Caleb, welcome home.""Daddy, I miss you so much."Caleb's heart was filled with warmth.He got down on one knee and gathered the children in his arms before kissing them on their faces."I miss you too. I brought you gifts. I hope you'll like it."Caleb knew how to deal with children.He bought a complete set of Barbie dolls for Jamie and a toy car for Avery.Avery and Jamie were overjoyed. They hugged Caleb and kissed his cheeks.Then, they started playing happily with their toys for a long time.Ember went downstairs to remind them when it was getting late."Jamie, Avery, you should sleep now. It's late now. Your class with Mr. Waller starts tomorrow."Jamie and Avery put their toys down and went to the bedroom obediently while holding hands.At night, when Caleb was
Caleb crossed his hands on his chest and frowned slightly. He looked like a dog that had been ignored by its owner, waiting for its owner's comfort.Ember was amused by his expression. She could not help but chuckle as she leaned closer.She gently drew circles on Caleb's chest and asked seductively, "What's wrong? Are you jealous? He's too young to be my type. What are you worrying about?"Caleb looked at Ember with even more resentment and bit Ember's finger."I am jealous. Do something about it."Caleb flipped around so that he could straddle Ember. He did so while staring at her the whole time.-The next day, Ember went to the hospital to visit her mother as she did every day.On the way there, she brought a large bouquet of flowers to decorate the ward.Ember sat beside the bed, gently holding her mother's withered hands with both hands, and said in a warm and soft voice, "Mom, Jamie, and Avery miss you. They wanted to live with you. I wish we could do that."By the way
