I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

This was the first time Little Lucky said she missed her mom. For more than half a year, Little Lucky had little memory of her mother, but deep down, she still longed for her. It was an unbreakable bond between mother and daughter.

Hearing this, Azure hugged Little Lucky tightly, sniffled, and softly said, “Rowan misses Mommy.”

Azure looked up at the starry sky outside the courtyard and said, “Whenever you miss Mommy, just look up at the sky. Your mommy is a superhero; she’s gone to another planet to fight monsters. Once she completes her mission, she will come back to see Rowan.”

This was a kind lie Azure came up with on the spot, hoping to cheer Little Lucky up.

Little Lucky looked at the sky, somewhat understanding: “Mommy is a star.”

“Yes, Mommy is a beautiful star that can protect Rowan,” Azure shifted the topic. “Look what Auntie Azure brought you-a Barbie doll. Do you like it?”

Like performing magic, Azure pulled out a Barbie doll from behind her back, immediately capturing Little Lucky’s attention.

“Wow, I like it,” Little Lucky clapped her hands happily.

Azure smiled and said, “Shall we dress up the Barbie doll in a pretty little dress?”

“Okay,” Little Lucky’s voice was soft and gentle.

Azure played with Little Lucky for quite a while before Little Lucky drank some milk and fell asleep.

After putting Little Lucky to bed, Azure went downstairs where Stella and Julian were still sitting in the living room.

Seeing Azure come down, Stella said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Stella’s changed view of Azure made her finally face past mistakes seriously.

“It wasn’t hard,” Azure said. “I had nothing to do anyway and just happened to be passing by.”

Little Lucky was also Azure’s emotional support. After a tiring day at work, spending some time with Little Lucky always lifted her spirits.

Azure asked, “Auntie, why did Rowan say she missed her mom today? Did something happen?”

“Today Terry finally agreed to a video call. Rowan didn’t even recognize him,” Stella sighed. “Terry looks like he’s aged decades overnight; his hair has turned completely white.”

Hearing this, Azure was very surprised. Although she knew Meredith’s accident had hit Terrence hard, she didn’t expect that he still hadn’t recovered from his grief after all this time and had even turned gray-haired.

Azure asked, “Is he still unwilling to come back?”

Julian and Stella exchanged glances; neither knew if Terrence would return.

Everyone held onto a sliver of hope that Terrence would come back for Rowan’s sake.

Understanding this, Azure didn’t ask further. “You should rest early. I’ll come again tomorrow. Take care of yourselves.”

Stella said, “Alright, be careful on your way home.”

“Okay.”

After Azure left, Julian sighed, “If Terry had married Azure back then, would things have been different?”

“What are you talking about?” Stella didn’t like hearing this. “Meredith gave our Sterling family Rowan and lost her life at such a young age. How can you say that?”

“I didn’t mean it that way. I was just thinking that if our son had married Azure instead, he wouldn’t have such deep feelings and might not be stuck in his grief for so long.”

Stella sighed deeply. “Who knows? By the way, do you think it’s possible to bring Azure and Terry together now?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Julian said, “I think it’s worth trying. Azure is good to Rowan and likes our son. We know her well; maybe she can help our son recover.”

“Then I’ll talk to Azure another day and see what she thinks,” Stella seemed hopeful. “Let’s have Azure take Rowan to bring Terry back. I don’t believe Terry will stay on that mountain forever.”

As parents, they couldn’t watch their child fall into despair.

The moon in the sky was very round, and the wind blew coldly.

Selene stayed at the Wilkinson family house. Mrs. Wilkinson talked with her for a long time before reluctantly going back to her room late at night to avoid disturbing Selene’s rest.

It was Selene’s first time feeling warmth and enthusiasm upon returning home.

Just as she was about to rest, there was a knock on the door: “Sis, it’s me. I brought you something.”

It was Elsa.
