《Mr. President's Lost Wife》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

“Yes! That's one of my favorite activities with Uncle Ed, apart from swimming in the river and seeing pangolins. He's a great teacher, Uncle Green. I can memorize many letters thanks to him. Lastly, I have memorized the letter H for Hunter.” Hunter's eyes widened. "You already know my initial?" Sky nodded firmly. "Yes! It looks like a ladder." Not only Hunter, but Rachel was also wide-eyed. "How come?" Sky drew the letter H on the table with her tiny finger. “It has two poles and one step. If we stack several letters H, they will become a ladder." Rachel laughed amusedly at that explanation. “Okay then, what does the name Hunter have to do with a ladder, Dear? As far as I know, Uncle Green rarely uses it.” “Because Uncle Green likes to give hope to the animals he saves, H can also be for hope.” “And what does hope have to do with a ladder?” Rachel raised an eyebrow. “They both take us to higher ground! Uncle Ed said that.” Hunter spontaneously glanced at the man in front of h

“Which is more important? Your ego … or their happiness?” These questions had been haunting Edmund for several hours. Even though he closed his eyes and covered his ears with a pillow, Hunter's voice kept ringing. “Wouldn't they be happier if they came home with me?” he muttered while looking up at the dark ceiling. Previously, Edmund was enthusiastic about imagining his life with Alice and Sky. They would greet him every time he came home from work. They could play together every night, or hang out on weekends. Their house would always be filled with jokes and laughter. But now, doubts lingered on him. “Am I selfish if I want Alice back? Would it be selfish of me to take them away from here?” “What if Sky isn't used to life in the city? What if she prefers to live in the forest? Should I buy a new house in a forest area?” “By returning to that house, will Alice have to face her trauma again? Will she fall again? And if her memory comes back, can I clear up all the misunderstand

“No, Sky. You can." Edmund held the little shoulder. His eyes looked at her expectantly. “Every chance I get, I can take you and your mother on an adventure. It's just that the place is not in this forest, but in another forest." Biting her lip, Sky met Edmund's gaze from the corner of her eye. After one slow blink, she exhaled. “Please don't be disappointed, Uncle. I can't imagine what it would be like if I moved somewhere else. Every time I joined Papa to work in another country, I always missed this house and forest. I even dreamed about Canis, Felis, Gigi, and Gusi. I think I would be very sad if I left them. My home is here, with Mama and Papa.” Edmund's heart cracked a thousand hearing that answer. He pondered for a moment, looking at Sky with various feelings. "You really love Lucas and your house, hmm?" Sky nodded. “Yeah, he's my Papa all this time. If suddenly you became my Papa, it would be very confusing even though I like you." Edmund blinked wordlessly. His heartache

"Uncle Ed, the fruit salad is ready. Let's eat together," Sky shouted as she walked cheerfully towards Edmund's room. Rachel quietly trailed behind. She was worried that Edmund would take out his disappointment on Sky. "Uncle Ed, what are you doing inside? Are you hiding because you're embarrassed?" Sky asked when she arrived at the door. Not getting an answer, she continued, "You don't need to be embarrassed, Uncle. Your eyes were drooping earlier. It's normal for you to hit the door. Come on, come out and eat rujak with me. Uncle Ed?" Feeling that the atmosphere was too quiet, Sky finally opened the door. Finding an empty room, she widened her eyes. "Oh? Where did Uncle Ed go?" Seeing her little daughter looking around, Rachel came out of hiding. "What is it, Honey?" "Mama, have you seen Uncle Ed? He's gone." Rachel's eyebrows arched high. Various assumptions appeared in her head. ‘Was he heartbroken because he failed to get me and Sky so he went away?’Wondering, Rachel che

Rachel swallowed hard. Her feet subconsciously shifted backwards. "Why would I think that? It's ridiculous." "Calm down. I won't take Sky away from you. Tomorrow morning, I will leave this place." Rachel suddenly froze. Her eyes glanced at Edmund doubtfully. "Y-you want to go already?" Her speech became quiet. The curve of Edmund's lips turned sad. Deep down, he hoped Rachel would stop his plans. However, he realized that the woman actually wanted the opposite. The relationship between the two of them had been different, and so were the circumstances. They were no longer two people who loved each other and were inseparable. "Because of that, please allow me to have fun with Sky. We only have a little time left. I want to fill it with as much laughter and happy memories as possible." Rachel's throat grew dry. Her breath hitched, her fists tightened. She didn't understand what feeling hit her heart. It was definitely not joy, nor sadness. Failing to find an answer, Rachel finally
