"Alice? Is that really you?" A man walked slowly. His gaze was locked on her face. "Y-yes. It's me," Alice answered stiffly. Suddenly, the man pinched her cheeks with both hands. He examined Alice's face from various angles, looking for something there. "You're not another woman in disguise, right? Your face isn't the result of plastic surgery?" After taking a deep breath, Edmund waved his hand. "Scott, enough. You're making my wife uncomfortable. Back off." Instead of walking away, Scott hugged Alice, jumping up and down. His laughter overflowed with tears. "Alice, you're finally back. Oh, thank God. This is the greatest miracle of my life!" While Alice grimaced to fake a smile, Edmund struggled to pull Scott back. However, Scott still felt at home hugging Alice. He even made her sway like a penguin with him. "Uncle Ed, who is he? Is he the driver who picked us up?" Hearing that sweet voice, Scott finally let go of the

"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 becau

"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

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

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."
