I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

When Terrence discovered Puffy building a snowman with Little Lucky in the yard, his anxious heart immediately calmed down. He walked over quickly and saw Little Lucky stumbling around in the snow, both of them playing happily. Little Lucky kept laughing and chased after Puffy. They were both childlike, and Terrence didn’t blame Puffy. He squatted down and said, “Rowan, come to Daddy.”

It was too cold outside, and Terrence was worried about his daughter. Little Lucky’s nose was red from the cold.

“Daddy,” Little Lucky called out sweetly, then stumbled towards Terrence and threw herself into his arms, giving him a kiss. “Daddy.”

Little Lucky’s actions melted Terrence’s heart. He kissed his daughter back, picked her up, and said to Puffy, “It’s too cold; let’s go back inside. She’s still young and could easily catch a cold.”

Puffy was very understanding. “I’m sorry, Master. I saw how cute she was and brought her out to play. Master, is she your daughter? She’s so adorable. Can I play with her again?”

Terrence hesitated for a moment. “Okay.” He didn’t want to make Puffy unhappy, but he knew he couldn’t keep Little Lucky here forever; he had to take her back eventually.

Terrence carried Little Lucky back into the house, with Puffy following behind. “Master, what’s your ‘s name?” Puffy asked.

“Rowan, but we usually call her Little Lucky,” Terrence replied.

“Rowan, that’s a beautiful name,” Puffy said. “Master, why don’t I have a name? I want one too.”

Everyone at the temple called him Puffy; he had no name or ID and was simply raised at the temple. It was said that when Puffy was little, he was small and chubby, so Master Emerson gave him the nickname Puffy.

“Let Master Emerson give you a name,” Terrence said. “It’s a sign of respect.”

Puffy smiled. “I’ll ask Master Emerson for a name tomorrow. Master, you have such an adorable daughter; why don’t you go home?”

Puffy asked earnestly. Living there, he naturally knew how long it had been since Terrence left the place.

He didn’t have parents to accompany him, but his little sister did, and yet her father wasn’t with her-how pitiful.

Terrence had heard many words of comfort before, but Puffy’s words made him feel a pang of guilt. Yes, he had such an adorable daughter; why wasn’t he going home?

Even a five-year-old understood the need for a father’s presence; naturally, his daughter needed it too.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Looking at Little Lucky in his arms, Terrence said, “We’ll be going home soon.”

At that moment, Terrence decided to take Little Lucky back to Auroraville and leave Park Bridge Mountain.

From then on, his daughter’s world would not have a mother but could not be without a father.

Hearing that they were leaving made Puffy feel reluctant; he had just found a playmate who was now leaving.

The next day.

Terrence told Master Emerson about his decision to go home. Master Emerson was pleased; this place did not belong to Terrence, and he had long hoped that Terrence would let go of his inner turmoil and return home.

Azure had been prepared for a long stay with Terrence but was pleasantly surprised by his quick decision to leave the mountain. She immediately called Stella to share the good news.

Stella cried tears of joy over the phone upon hearing that Terrence was coming home. “Azure, thank you! Otherwise, who knows how long Terry would have stayed at Park Bridge Mountain? When are you leaving?”

“In the next couple of days,” Azure replied. “I’ll call you before we head back.”

“Okay, no rush; as long as he’s willing to come back,” Stella said as she wiped away her tears.

After hanging up the phone, Stella excitedly shared the news with Grandma Sterling and Julian-it was great news for the Sterling family.

Terrence stayed at Park Bridge Mountain for another two days before descending the mountain. He didn’t rush back to Auroraville immediately; after bidding farewell to Master Emerson, he decided to visit the seaside first and then see where Meredith had her accident.

This time, he took his daughter along.

Azure accompanied them as well; she wanted to see where Meredith had her accident and pay her respects.

After they descended the mountain, Puffy went to find Little Lucky in her room only to discover they had left.

He ran to the temple gate but saw they were already far away. He looked down at the foot of the mountain wistfully.

A monk from the temple saw him and said, “Puffy, what are you doing standing there? Come inside; it’s cold out.”

Puffy felt particularly unhappy. “She left just like that; I didn’t even get to tell her my name. I have a name now; Master Emerson gave me one-Everett Caldera.”
