Mr. President's Lost Wife 14. First Dinner with Daughter
Rachel was speechless. She couldn't forbid Sky and make her sad again. After inviting Edmund in, she accompanied her daughter to take a shower. While waiting, Edmund looked around. There wasn't much he could observe. There was only Sky's and Rachel's backpack on the table. Feeling that the situation was safe, Edmund took out a plastic wrap. Swiftly, he put in a strand of hair that he had secretly taken while helping Sky take off the hoodie. “Once the result is out, they won't be able to escape anymore. Rachel is Alice and Sky is my daughter," he thought before putting the evidence in his trouser pocket. "Mister Edmund!" Sky suddenly appeared again. Her smile was so wide. She looked very small with her body wrapped in a towel. “Please be patient . I'll get dressed quickly." “Sky!” Rachel's voice echoed from the room. Giggling, Sky came back in. Edmund unconsciously smiled at her behavior. He could imagine how happy he would be if her cheerfulness filled his life. However, reali

“Then feed me first.” Sky handed her fork to Edmund. The man greeted her idea with a bright smile. "Be careful. Just bite the meat.” However, Sky devoured the steak pieces quickly. While chewing, she frowned. “It tastes the same. You tricked me." "Or ... could it be that you don't love me?" Edmund raised an eyebrow. His tone was quite provoking. “You're my friend. How could I not love you? Moreover, you have been nice to me." Edmund never knew that he could feel sad and happy at the same time. "Is it true? Well then, try again. Eat with your eyes closed. Chew well.” Sky accepted the steak without suspicion. She didn't know that Edmund was on a mission of penance. The man felt guilty that he could only now feed his daughter. "How? Is it more delicious?” "Nothing changes! Ah, I got fooled again!” Edmund laughed heartily. While cutting his own steak, he waited for the right time to ask. "Sky, what do you think would happen if you were my daughter?" Sky stared at Edmund without

"What do you need here?" Edmund asked coldly.Instead of answering, Lucas barged in. He intended to interrogate and intimidate Edmund inside. But when he sat on the sofa, his gaze fell on the long strands of hair wrapped in transparent plastic. Noticing the direction of Lucas' eyes, Edmund's body stiffened. He quickly hung up the phone and walked towards the table. Unfortunately, before he could reach the sample hair, Lucas grabbed it first. "What's this? You secretly took my daughter's hair? What's your purpose, hmm? You really intend to take my wife and child away!" Lucas shouted with wide eyes. Edmund's jaw was throbbing. He had actually been fed up with Lucas since their first meeting. Now, after that loud bluff, his hatred multiplied and was no longer unbearable. "How dare you call Sky your daughter?" Lucas flinched at Edmund's cold tone. "What do you mean? Isn't it clear that she's my child?” His voice dropped drastically. Edmund looked down with a snort. “I don't think we
Mr. President's Lost Wife 17. Sky and Her Animal Friends
“See you again, Ma'am. Thank you for bringing Sky here. I am very happy to get to know her.” Before Rachel could respond, Lucas snatched the handshake. "You're welcome. Thank you for being Sky's friend on this journey. I'm sure you will be a sweet memory that she will remember forever." Edmund almost snorted. His hand gripped Lucas tighter. “Sweet child like Sky deserves sweet memories. I would be very happy if I could be a part of her other memories. The more, the better.” Lucas didn't like Edmund's mysterious smile. As if there was something he was planning. After making sure that none of Sky's hair was stuck to Edmund's clothes or hands, he hurried to take his wife and child out of the lobby. Unbeknownst to him, Edmund was secretly smiling. “Just wait and see, Lucas Palmer. I will take my wife and child home. They deserve to live life with their real family.” *** “Gusi, pay attention to my order! Don't be a naughty goose. When I count to three, you have to make a sound. Unde
Mr. President's Lost Wife 18. The Benefactor
Sky sneered at Rachel's question. “Why did Mama sound like Papa? Do you not like Uncle Edmund too, Mama?" "No. It is not like that." Rachel glanced behind briefly. Not finding Lucas, she whispered, "Mama likes him too. He can make you laugh and he is also caring. I am glad you have a friend like him, even though he is a little strange and mysterious.” "Well then," Sky sat up, "how about Mama join me to welcome him later? I can choose an easy job for you.” Rachel was wide-eyed. "Me? Joining to welcome him? No, Honey." “We can prepare a crown from twigs. When Uncle Edmund comes, Mama can put the crown on his head.” Rachel shook her head quickly. Just imagining it made her cringe, let alone doing it. "No, Honey. That's not a good idea. Papa might get jealous and hit him again.”“Why is Papa jealous? Isn't that just a normal welcome? We once got a flower necklace and Mama wasn't jealous when the hotel staff put it around Papa's neck. Besides, that's just putting down the crown, Mama.
Mr. President's Lost Wife 19. The Hint
"Sorry, Sky. I have to tell the truth. Your papa is the most handsome man to me." Hearing Rachel's loud statement, Edmund's heart cracked. His eyes dimmed as the curve of his lips turned away. Alice once said that she preferred men's faces without beards. Because of that, Edmund deliberately returned to his old appearance. He hoped that Alice could open her heart once again, or maybe remember what she had forgotten. But apparently, the woman instead chose Lucas, a man with thin beards and a scruffier appearance? Why was Alice so adamant in maintaining her identity as Lucas' wife? Why did she still feel like hiding behind Rachel's name? “Mama, that's not my question. I asked whether Uncle Edmund was more handsome without his beard or not. We don't have to compare him to Papa. Of course Papa is more handsome." Edmund's breathing became heavier. His chest was tight, as if something was stuck in his lungs. Sky poked a deeper wound into his heart. Hunter noticed the change in the sp

Unfortunately, Rachel just mumbled, "Lucas eats that much too. Looks like I got carried away by habit when I put spaghetti on your plate.” Edmund's hopes collapsed again. Disappointment was clear on his face, and Hunter caught it. “Sky, would you like to lead a prayer?” he asked, changing the conversation. Sky's eyes lit up. "Yes! Let's start praying.” Bringing her hands together, she lowered her head and closed her eyes. Edmund didn't listen to what Sky said. His attention was only focused on the woman across the table. The longer he looked at Rachel, the more painful his inner wound became. When Edmund took the first bite from his plate, his emotions were no longer suppressed. No doubt, it was his wife's cooking. Rachel was indeed Alice in disguise! "Uncle Edmund, don't you agree that Mama's cooking is delicious?" Sky glanced to the side. “Oh? Uncle Edmund? Why are you crying?" Edmund quickly wiped the tears from the edge of his eyes. "I'm not crying. I'm just moved. I've bee
Mr. President's Lost Wife 21. Secret Mission
Rachel fell silent for a moment. After one blink, she faked a smile. "Yes. After getting married, we moved to Canada.” "Where did you meet Lucas? In which country were you holding your wedding?” Rachel freeze again. Her lips trembled as if she were about to answer. But several seconds passed, she still didn't make a sound. "Mama, where did you meet Papa?" Sky asked as she twirled spaghetti with her fork. “I'm curious too.” Rachel snorted with laughter. “If you're curious, let's wait until Papa comes home. He will tell the story in full and it will be more exciting to listen to." "Why don't you just tell us? Is it possible ... you've forgotten?” Rachel's face turned stiff. “Sorry, Mr. Hills. Why are you so curious about our lives? As Mr. Green has said, that's our privacy. Please don't cross the line. Now excuse me. I have to do other things.” Hunter was stunned by Rachel's behavior. Even her lunch hadn't been touched yet, but she's gone? Meanwhile, Sky just blinked before swal
