When Cassie got out of bed, her mother noticed her dark circles and frowned in concern. “Cassie, what happened? You didn’t sleep all night?” Cassie sat on the couch with a troubled expression and replied, “Mom, I don’t feel like talking about it.” Seeing how agitated she was, her mother approached her. “What’s wrong?” Cassie had always been a good child who rarely caused her parents any worry. Therefore, her mother was particularly concerned to see her in such a state. “Mom, Aiden’s been seeing another woman.” Cassie recounted last night’s events to her mother in dismay. After listening, her mother was not particularly impressed. “From what you’ve told me, this woman isn’t from a notable family. She seems to be an ordinary woman without any significant status or power.” Holding her head high, Cassie’s mother continued, “I’ve always told you that you should spend more time with Mrs. Lewis. For families like theirs, marriage is about matching social status. Not just anyon
Aiden was busy at work in his office when he received a notification on his phone. He opened it to see a picture from Amy, along with a smiling emoji. He smiled, and his gaze softened as he saw her message. He set aside his work and quickly replied. [Miss Green, thank you for your hard work.] Amy responded almost immediately. [It’s no trouble at all. I’m just doing my duty. [By the way, try not to overwork yourself. Remember to balance work and rest. Given your current health, you should get at least eight hours of rest each day.] Seeing how relentlessly Aiden worked, Amy could not help but give him a reminder. Aiden chuckled lightly. [Don’t worry, Miss Green. I understand.] Ever since Amy started treating him, he had felt a significant improvement in his health. He was much better than before. He believed that with continued care, he might genuinely have a chance to fully recover. Before Amy, he dared not consider such a possibility. However, it seemed that miracles co
Amy reassured Mrs. Harper, “If I do end up meeting the right person, I’ll marry him.” Mrs. Harper nodded in relief at this promise. “Alright. That puts my mind at ease.” Later, Amy picked her children up from kindergarten. On their way home, the children excitedly shared their adventures for the day. Then, they mentioned something important, “Mommy, there’s going to be a parent-teacher conference at our kindergarten in a few days. They’ve asked everyone to bring both their parents.” At the mention of the parent-teacher conference, Amy nodded in acknowledgment. “Okay. I’ll definitely be there.” Star blinked her large eyes and was full of eagerness, “What about Daddy? Will he come too?” This question stunned Amy for a moment. Both children looked at her with hopeful eyes and made it impossible for her to ignore their longing for a father figure. She gently said, “Night, Star, you both know that our family’s a bit different. Even if it’s just me attending, I’m sure it’ll be
Amy was delivering medicine to Aiden as usual, but she seemed distracted during the process. Aiden tried speaking to her several times, but she did not respond. She was just lost in her own thoughts. Frowning, Aiden asked, “Miss Green, is something wrong?” Amy was usually very professional, and she would never act this way. Snapping back to reality, she shook her head slightly. “It’s nothing.” Seeing her reluctance to reveal anything, Aiden did not press further. He nodded and said, “Alright. If you need help with anything, feel free to ask.” “Hm,” Amy said, but she remained silent after that. The next day, she took her kids to kindergarten as usual. After she watched them go inside, she stopped the teacher. She hesitated for a while before speaking, “Do you have a moment, Miss? I need to talk to you.” The teacher smiled gently. “Of course, Miss Green.” Amy sighed. “To be honest, I’ve been raising my children alone, and they’ve always been very understanding about it.
The security guard was shocked because he recognized that the name belonged to their CEO. He steadied himself and took another look at Star. His mind was filled with questions. Her casual mention of the CEO’s name suggested that they had an unusual relationship, but how was this child related to their CEO? Although the guard was confused, he acted swiftly. “Wait here, little girl. I’ll notify him right away.” Star nodded politely. “Okay. Thank you.” The guard hurried to the reception desk and urged, “Quickly inform the CEO that a little girl is here to see him.” At this moment, Aiden was swamped with work and feeling somewhat frustrated. The unexpected news of a child looking for him piqued his curiosity. “Who could it be?” he wondered. He looked up at Nolan. “Please go down and check.” “Right away,” Nolan replied. Nothing could have prepared him for the sight that greeted him. When he arrived in the lobby, he saw Star sitting comfortably on the couch and enjoying som
Amy was glad to hear that Star was safe. “Okay. I’m on my way!” she said in response to Aiden’s update. After she hung up, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. “Amy, is there news about Star?” the teacher asked. Amy nodded and briefly explained the situation before leaving with Night. … Meanwhile, Aiden looked at Star who was sitting before him. He appeared a little helpless as he saw her swing her legs back and forth. Despite years of handling difficult business situations, he found himself at a loss with this small child. He rubbed his temples. “I’ve called your mom, and she’ll be here soon.” Star blinked and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Mr. Lewis.” After chatting with her for a while, Aiden had a clear idea of her intentions—she wanted him to be her father for a day. Surprisingly, he felt no aversion to the idea. He was quite fond of her and Night, so helping them out was no trouble. However, he was shocked by Star’s boldness. She had ventured out alone from the
Aiden glanced at Star and recalled the request she had made in her sweet voice. With a flicker in his eyes, he said, “About the kindergarten matter that Star mentioned—” Before he could finish, Amy interrupted him. She nodded with a chuckle. “Oh, children say many things. You shouldn’t worry about it. I’ve already spoken with the teacher. I’ll handle it myself, so there’s no need to trouble yourself, Mr. Lewis.” She knew that Star had probably approached him about attending the parent-teacher conference. However, it was a matter that she considered strictly familial and not something to trouble Aiden with. However, he shook his head to clarify, “Miss Green, that’s not what I meant. I was trying to say that if needed, I can make time to go.” This caught Amy off guard. She never expected Aiden to agree to such a request. The children also blinked in surprise. “Really? Is it true, Mr. Lewis?” Standing nearby, Nolan wore a look of astonishment. He never expected Aiden to agree
Unaware of Star’s cunning plans, Amy was pleased to see her daughter behaving so obediently. She assumed that Star had taken her words to heart. “Alright. Since you understand your mistake, you can go and play!” That evening, Amy received a message from Aiden. [Is the parent-teacher conference tomorrow?] Amy nodded to herself and quickly sent him the details. [It’s tomorrow morning. We need to get there early. The teacher mentioned that there will be activities.] Aiden promptly replied. [Okay.] The parent-teacher conference was essentially a series of child-parent interactive activities organized by the kindergarten. It involved games and bonding activities, nothing too challenging. Amy also sent Aiden the schedule and concluded with a note of gratitude. [Mr. Lewis, I’m sorry to trouble you again.] Aiden quickly responded. [Miss Green, as I’ve said, there’s no need to be so formal with me.] The next day, Aiden arrived at Amy’s doorstep bright and early in the mornin
