I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Terrence didn’t make things difficult for Chris. When he learned that Grandma Sterling and Audrey had returned to Meriton, he felt an emptiness in his heart, a pull that made him want to go to Meriton as well. Before going, Terrence visited his daughter at Ravenwood.

Soft and cuddly, Little Lucky was thrilled to see her dad. She toddled over with small steps, laughing as she threw herself into his arms, sweetly calling out, “Daddy, Daddy.”

Little Lucky laughed as she called out, amusing herself. Terrence picked her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Rowan missed Daddy?”

“Yes,” Little Lucky said, wrapping her small arms around him. “Daddy, why is your hair white again?”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Little Lucky looked at him with curious eyes. His hair had been white before, then turned black, and now it was white again. She reached out to touch his hair.

Terrence carried Little Lucky inside. “Everyone’s hair turns white eventually. Rowan, how about an apple? Daddy will peel one for you.”

“Okay,” Little Lucky replied softly.

Terrence set her down and picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table to peel an apple. Stella came downstairs and was surprised to see him. “Terrence, what brings you here? Have you eaten? Your grandma went out; she said she was going to Meriton with Meredith. Did you know about this?”

“Yes, Grandma called me,” Terrence said calmly as he peeled the apple and took out a drawing board from the drawer for his daughter to draw on.

Two-year-old Little Lucky loved to doodle, freely scribbling with a pen. Children under three have strong learning abilities; growing up in a good environment helps them learn quickly.

Stella continued talking. “I really don’t understand what your grandma is thinking, going to Meriton with Meredith. No matter what I say, none of you believe me; you’re all biased towards Meredith. I’m not against Meredith personally, but the facts are clear. Ever since Meredith came back claiming she had amnesia, she’s been like a different person. Besides her face looking the same, I don’t see any resemblance to the old Meredith…”

Stella was emotional and didn’t even know what she was saying. However, her last words struck Terrence like a bolt of lightning.

It turned out he wasn’t the only one who felt this way. The current Audrey had nothing of the former Meredith’s gentleness and understanding except for her face.

The old Meredith would never have neglected him or resisted his tenderness or asked for a divorce.

Lost in thought, Terrence accidentally cut his finger with the fruit knife. Blood instantly welled up.

Little Lucky was very anxious. “Blood! Daddy, you’re bleeding!”

She wanted to find a band-aid but didn’t know where they were kept. She grabbed some tissues for Terrence instead. “Bandage it, Daddy, hurry.”

Indeed, daughters are thoughtful little sweethearts. Little Lucky’s actions warmed Terrence’s heart.

The small cut wasn’t serious, but his daughter cared deeply about it.

Stella also said, “I’ll get a band-aid. How can you be so careless at your age?”

Terrence wrapped his finger with tissues casually while Little Lucky blew on it gently. “Blow on it; it won’t hurt.”

Whenever Little Lucky got hurt or fell down, Stella would teach her to blow on it to make the pain go away.

Watching his daughter’s puffed-up cheeks as she blew on his finger filled Terrence with happiness.

Stella brought over a band-aid and smiled. “Terrence, look how considerate Rowan is; she’s a treasure.”

Stella adored her granddaughter immensely since she didn’t have a daughter of her own. This only granddaughter was her precious gem.

Little Lucky never wore the same clothes twice; every day she had new outfits. Stella dressed her beautifully and only her granddaughter could cheer her up when she was in a bad mood.

Terrence gently tapped Little Lucky’s nose and smiled. “Rowan is really considerate; she cares about Daddy now. Sweetheart, Daddy loves you.”

“I love Daddy too,” Little Lucky said with a smile that made dimples appear on her cheeks.

Just then, Azure’s voice came from outside. “Does Rowan love Auntie Azure too?”

Azure walked in with a smile. “Auntie Azure.”

“Rowan,” Stella said with a smile. “Rowan misses you too; thank you for coming to see her. Her mom hasn’t been here for days and just left without looking back.”
