73. Emma and Henry
"Sometimes, I pray that you're safe from the river. Sometimes, I pray that you're at peace up there. And occasionally, I cursed you because you broke your promise. How could you disappear like that? Weren't you serious when you said that promise? "
The curve of Alice's lips turned stiff. She glanced at Edmund, asking for clue. Before the man had time to give a code, Emma had hit her lightly on the arm."You promised to be my bridesmaid!"As Emma grimaced in annoyance, Alice grabbed her hand."Sorry, I myself can't understand what I did before. But, you and Henry are still married, right?"Emma wiped her eyes and gave a limited nod. "I did. Two years ago. And you weren't there.""Even though I didn't attend your wedding, my prayers and support are still with you. Congratulations, Emma. Sorry if I said it very late."Emma shook her head quickly. "Better late than never. I'm grateful you're still alive. Don't disappear again becauRelated chapters

"That's a good idea," Alice said quietly. "You don't want to come with me and Sky? This is your first day back here. It would be more fun if we went around together," Edmund whispered. "Uncle Ed, I think it's okay if Mama choose Aunt Emma. They haven't seen each other for a long time. They must have a lot of stories to talk about, like me and my animal friends." Hearing the defense, Edmund could no longer complain. Smiling again, he took Sky around with Henry and Mrs. Klein. "Alice, how about we go to our place? We can chat while eating biscuits and drinking tea, like the old days." Alice nodded slightly. After Emma conveyed her request to a servant, they went to the north pavilion. "So, how are you doing all this time?" Emma asked as they sat opposite each other at a round table. Alice blinked awkwardly. She wasn't sure how much Emma had heard from Edmund. Lowering her head, she answered, "I lived in a conservation area in the
Mr. President's Lost Wife 75. Ed's Bedroom
"This is a really cool room, Honey. Do you like it?" Alice rubbed her daughter's head."I really like it!" Sky jumped a few times before pointing down. "Mama, look at this." Alice looked down. It turned out that they were stepping on a brown carpet that curved to form a path. "If we follow it," Sky walked quickly, "we'll come to the wardrobe, bookshelf, study table, tent, and my bed! I really can't wait to climb up there." Sky pointed to the top level where a folding table and a small window were located. "Then if we continue, we'll come to a special window for scouting, a toy box, and a giant map." Sky stretched out her arms on the side of the wall where all the continents lay. "This is my favorite part, Mama. Uncle Ed and I plan to mark all the cool places with stars, just like what we did with my globe. Only, this one is bigger! I really like my room!" Sky pressed herself against the wall, spreading her arms as wide a

Alice shook her head. While expanding her lungs, she straightened her shoulders. "I'm not sad, but touched. I just found out that you really love me. I regret doing something stupid and disappearing for five years." "Hey," Edmund moved to touch her arm, "it has passed. There's no point in regretting. The important thing is, you're here. We can be together again." Sky nodded with pouting lips. "Uncle Ed is right. The important thing is, we are together again. Stop crying, Mama." Alice took a deep breath, trying to relieve her tightness. When her breathing calmed, Edmund asked, "Do you want me to hug you?" Alice blinked. After a brief moment of contemplation, she nodded. Edmund embraced her very gently. "It's okay, Alice. Everything is fine." Alice could only close her eyes, soaking in the warmth that she had always avoided. At that moment, Sky got out of the chair and hugged her too. "Don't be sad, Mama. We are much luck

Either because he didn't hear or he was already asleep, Edmund didn't answer. Alice had to call louder. "Ed?" Edmund finally opened his eyes. "Yes? Do you need anything?" "Why are you sleeping there?" Edmund blinked. "I think you will feel more comfortable and safe if we sleep separately." Alice bit her lip. Her eyes darted around looking for the right angle. "This bed is wide. I think it won't be a problem if you sleep here too. We can make a barrier out of pillows." "Are you sure? I don't have a problem sleeping here. This couch is also comfy." "But your space is limited," Alice interrupted awkwardly. After gulping, she began to build the barrier. "Sleep over there." Edmund considered it for a moment. "What if I accidentally move the pillow and hug you? I might dirty your pants again." Edmund said the sentence casually. However, Alice felt awkward. "N-no problem. I can wash it tomorrow." Edmund
Mr. President's Lost Wife 78. Sweet Kiss
"What do you want to do?" Alice pretended to be innocent. Edmund's eyes narrowed. He brushed away the hair covering her shoulder. The hairs on her nape bristled at his light touch. "Can I taste you a bit?" "A bit?" Edmund smiled mischievously. "Yes, but I won't give Sky a younger sibling yet. Is that okay?" Alice's heartbeat quickened. She could no longer count them. If she allowed Edmund, would her blood still flow to the brain? Could she maintain common sense? "Okay." Alice was startled by her own answer. She was about to say no, but why did her lips say yes instead? Before Alice had time to correct her decision, Edmund had already approached her. Not knowing what else to do, she finally closed her eyes. Her hands were clenched tightly in front of her chest, ready to face the big explosion in her heart. But when Edmund's lips arrived, her tension faded. Warmth had mixed with confusion. When she opened her eyes
Mr. President's Lost Wife 79. Knocking So Hard
Edmund and Alice gasped when they heard the whistle. They immediately crawled out of the tent. The tension only faded when they saw Sky standing with her hands on her hips. "Mama, Uncle Ed, come on, get up. We have to go to the office this morning. We can't be late. Let's get ready!" She blew the whistle again. Her style was like that of a scout troop commander. Alice and Edmund smiled amusedly at her behavior. "Honey? I think you're getting too excited. It's still too early." "Is it true?" Sky glanced at the wall clock. Not understanding the meaning, she pursed her lips. "But I've been up since earlier, Mama. I've washed my face and brushed my teeth. That means it's not too early." Alice widened her eyes at that confession. "Who helped you?" "No one. I did it myself. The ladder that Uncle Ed provided was very helpful. I like that ladder." Edmund smiled slightly at Sky's chatter. "You're really independent, apparently."
Mr. President's Lost Wife 80. Fierce Mother-in-Law
"Sorry, Mom," Alice said firmly. "I'm not pretending. I was able to recognize you because Ed showed me your photo." "Nonsense!" Elizabeth was furious. She hated every time she saw her son holding hands with Alice, and she couldn't accept Alice daring to argue. "Stop your acting. Tell me what brought you back? You need money? You just realized that living in this house is much more comfortable than out there?" "Mom, that's enough. I've just been reunited with my wife. Don't ruin my happiness. Just once I fell for your provocation. I don't want to be separated from Alice anymore." Elizabeth flinched at those firm words. "You defend your wife over your mother?" "I'm defending myself. Don't you get tired of seeing me live in misery?" Elizabeth fell silent. She didn't want to give an answer that could backfire. "We are lucky that many parties are willing to support me. Otherwise, I would have lost the company and gone bankru

Sky blinked innocently. "Yeah, I managed to fix the buttons on my shirt. Look, Mama. There are no missed buttons now. I'm cool and neat." Alice smiled faintly. "What about your grandmother? What were you talking about earlier?" "Grandma is not fierce, Mama. She didn't praise me. She accepted the brooch I gave her and thanked me. I think that's a good start," Sky raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly. "Is it true?" Alice stared in disbelief. Sky nodded lightly. "Yeah, we even plan to play together if she has time later." Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually worried that Elizabeth would treat Sky harshly. "Well, I'm glad your mission was successful. Now Mama and Uncle Ed still have to prepare. How about you wait inside?" "Okay, Mama." Sky entered the room cheerfully. Unbeknownst to her, the special brooch she had given Elizabeth was already lying on the floor. The servant who saw it quickly picked i
