113. Shopping Day
"You want to keep Edmund busy again?" Elizabeth sighed.
Straightening her back, Giselle raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I'll handle him. Your job is to keep Alice busy. Let's make sure the two of them don't communicate much. A lack of communication is the main factor that causes arguments in the household, right?""Okay, I understand. It's a very easy task. I'll keep that stupid woman so busy that she doesn't have time to touch her phone."Giselle nodded in a graceful manner. "Thank you, Mrs. Hills. I'm counting on you."While Elizabeth's smile turned crooked, her eyes narrowed. Her mind began to devise tactics to cause trouble for Alice. When she imagined the result, she laughed cynically."Lack of communication alone is not enough to destroy a relationship. We need to shake their trust," she muttered slyly."What do you think, Madam?"Elizabeth buried her head into the pillow. "You'll see. I'll make her cry non-stop."***Related chapters
Mr. President's Lost Wife 114. Emergency
Alice blinked in surprise. Not because of what Elizabeth accused her of, but because of her appearance. "Mom, are you okay? Why is your face so red?" "Don't change the subject! I asked why you dare to spend so much? You think it's your money? That's my son's money!" Alice ignored Elizabeth's scolding. She noticed the numbers flashing on the screen. Not only did Elizabeth's heart rate increase, but also her blood pressure. "Jeez," Alice breathed faintly. She immediately grabbed Sky's shoulder. "Honey, could you please call a nurse?" "Is Grandma seriously ill again?" The little girl stared wide-eyed. In her heart, she felt anxious. She had annoyed Elizabeth earlier. "Yes, please call her quickly." "Okay, Mama." While Sky ran out, Alice stared closely at Elizabeth. "Mom, please don't be angry. Your tension is high again." "I'm fine. Don't make things up. Are you afraid I'll ask you to return the money you used? You
Mr. President's Lost Wife 115. Understanding Husband
Sky's eyes widened when Alice's phone vibrated, her neck stretched. "Is that Uncle Ed, Mama? Is he going home yet?" She was ready to finish her secret project if it was her father. "No. It's Mrs. Klein." Sky breathed a sigh of relief. However, seeing the frown on Alice's face when she answered the call, she became worried again. "What's wrong, Mama?" she asked after Alice hung up the phone. Alice let out a faint breath. "Grandma said she was bored at the hospital. She wanted me to send her all the photos." "What photos?" "All photos in the albums in your father's study." Sky gaped wide. "All of them? That's a lot! Why not just ask for the photo albums? We can ask a driver to take them to the hospital. Grandma can look at the photos without bothering Mama." Alice smiled wryly. "Sorry, Honey. But Grandma's condition is worrying. We can't make her angry. I have to fulfill her request." "What if you ask the others t

"Mama, did you play with Uncle Ed again last night?" Sky inquired as they worked on the secret project in the morning. Alice's face suddenly stiffened. She had tried not to make a sound last night. Could it be that her self-control was still lacking? "W-why do you ask that, Honey?" Sky scratched her neck with the tip of the pencil. "I'm just curious. I slept very soundly. When I woke up, the sun was already shining. I didn't hear anything last night. Did you guys play together?" Alice blinked awkwardly. "Yes, but only for a moment. Your papa is tired after a long day of work." "What a pity. Uncle Ed had to work hard. He came home late, but had to leave again early in the morning. But that's a good thing for us, Mama. This project can be done safely." Sky tapped the tip of her pencil against the paper. Alice smiled seeing that cheerfulness. She kissed her forehead, then went back to scissoring. The atmosphere became silent until Sky whi
Mr. President's Lost Wife 117. New Promise
Edmund fell silent for a moment. He realized that what Scott said was right. When Sky's disappointed face crossed his mind, he could only close his eyes. "How long will the meeting take?" he muttered, inviting himself to think. Scott answered, "A maximum of three hours. That's if the negotiations are tough. If it goes well, maybe an hour is enough?" Edmund swallowed bitterly. A small nod came from his head. "Tell them to attend the meeting as soon as possible." "Okay," Scott got up from the chair. Before leaving, he patted the president's shoulder. "Sky is an understanding child. She won't be angry with a little bit delay." "You said three hours was a bit?" Not wanting Edmund's voice to get any higher, Scott quickly backed towards the door. "That's just the worst prediction, Ed. But I'm sure our meeting will be short today. Sky won't wait too long." While Scott got away, Edmund looked down and pressed his temples. In fact, it w
Mr. President's Lost Wife 118. Grandmother and Granddaughter's Dispute
When a taxi arrived, Sky took a deep breath. Alice could feel her daughter's enthusiasm waning. Her compassion deepened. "Honey," she whispered while stroking the back of Sky's hand, "don't worry. Grandma won't interfere with our plans." "Are you sure, Mama?" she asked doubtfully. Alice nodded. "What if she bothers you again? I'll be really angry with her. I don't care if her blood pressure rises again. If she ends up in the hospital, it's her own fault." Alice's smile turned sour. "Don't think like that, Honey. Aren't you a good kid?" "Yes, I'm a good kid. But if someone bothers Mama, I can become fierce." Sky stamped her foot once. Before Alice had time to advise, the taxi door opened. After Mary Klein, Elizabeth came down with a disheveled look. "What are you guys wearing? Aren't you overdressed? You're standing there just to welcome me home." Alice ignored that remark. She raised the corners of her lips, gre
Mr. President's Lost Wife 119. The Great Sky
"You always praised Giselle loudly, Grandma, even though she was nothing to you. You felt proud that people liked her, and was happy when people insulted Mama. You must have forgotten that it was the same as degrading yourself and also Papa." The servants gasped. They thought they heard wrong. That was the first time Sky called Edmund Papa. Alice was also stunned. She had heard Sky call Edmund Papa several times. It's just that she just realized. Sky did that every time they faced Elizabeth. That smart little girl was deliberately setting fire to her grandmother! Meanwhile, Elizabeth had been holding her head. She felt her blood pressure rise again. Her lungs were also heating up. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath. "Shut up," she said quietly. "Your voice is starting to hurt my ears." However, Sky didn't want to stop yet. "Mama is Papa's chosen wife. If you insult Mama, that means you insult Papa. And because Papa is your son, th
Mr. President's Lost Wife 120. A Childish Surprise
"That incompetent guy .... Does he think he is more powerful because he funds a project with me?" Edmund grumbled. After a snort, he took out his phone. He wanted to call Alice, but he was afraid that Sky would be disappointed a second time. So, he hurried back to the table. He realized he had to be more assertive. "Mr. Cage, where is your president?" Edmund asked, sounding a little annoyed. The man across the table checked his phone. "Sorry for your inconvenience, Sir. They will arrive in two minutes. We can immediately process the signing as soon as they arrive." Edmund's brows furrowed deeper. He wondered why the man said "they". Was the president of Elles Investment more than one person? Or did the driver count too? "I hope you don't forget that my time is limited. If your president is not here in five minutes, I have to leave the contract without signing." Mr. Cage nodded. "Understood, Sir." However, not even a minute late
Mr. President's Lost Wife 121. Can't You See Me?
While putting the shopping bag on the table, Giselle sighed, "Don't be surprised, Ed. You've known me for a long time. You should know my capacity." After a slow blink, her face became gloomy. "All this time, you have always praised Alice for her enthusiasm and tenacity. You called her a very amazing woman. She was able to get out of her comfort zone and overcome her fears. But what about me?" Giselle raised her head. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Edmund. "Look at me now. I am the president of the fastest growing startup company. Our valuation keeps increasing. We are even nominated for an award next month. I am now an independent career woman who is admired by many people." Seeing Edmund listening silently, the corners of Giselle's lips turned up again. "Then what has the woman you call great achieved? A shameful past?" Snorting, Giselle shook her head. "She doesn't even remember your birthday, Ed. She has no achievements. She is just a burden
