I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Terrence discovered that Reginald took Little Lucky not only to retaliate against the Sterling family but also because he liked the little girl. During the time Little Lucky was with Reginald, she was not harmed; in fact, she gained some weight. Her face became rounder, which Meredith noticed immediately when she held her.

On the way home, Little Lucky woke up. Seeing her mother, she instantly broke down and cried softly. She held her mother's face with her chubby hands, babbling as if complaining that a bad grandpa had taken her away.

Her daughter's aggrieved cries brought tears to Meredith's eyes again. "It's all Mommy's fault. Mommy didn't protect you well. Rowan, it's Mommy's fault. I'm sorry."

Little Lucky, in her soft and sweet voice, suddenly kissed Meredith on the face. This kiss completely healed all of Meredith's worries from the past days.

The heartwarming scene between mother and daughter also moved Terrence deeply.

After everything that happened, Terrence realized more than ever that nothing is more important than family. The greatest blessing is for the family to be safe and happy together. Throughout the journey home, Little Lucky interacted with her mother and didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Once home, Meredith stayed close to her daughter, playing games, reading books, and feeding her. She didn't want to go anywhere; just watching her daughter made her feel at ease.

Little Lucky played with toys on the carpet while Meredith sat beside her. Terrence cut some fruit and made fruit puree for their daughter.

Now Little Lucky could try a little bit of it. In another month, they would start introducing solid foods to her.

Little Lucky tasted fruit for the first time. It was sweet and she liked it very much. As she ate, she started blowing bubbles with the fruit puree, which made her even happier. She clapped her little hands and looked at her parents as if saying, "Mommy, Daddy, look how amazing I am."

Terrence praised her, "My daughter is amazing." Meredith added, "Baby is the smartest."

Little Lucky covered her face and laughed; her chubby cheeks trembled with each giggle, spreading joy to the adults as well.

No matter how tired or hard it was, hearing their daughter's laughter made them feel it was all worth it; all their exhaustion vanished.

Terrence sat next to Meredith, wrapped an arm around her waist, and said gently, "Meredith, I made a decision on the way back. Rowan is still young. I want to hand over all company affairs and stay home with you and Rowan for a year. Money can always be earned later."

Meredith was stunned. A man saying he would return to family life just to accompany his wife and daughter-few men could do that.

Most men Terrence's age were focused on making their mark in the world. Terrence had already reached heights others couldn't achieve in a lifetime. Now he wanted to shift his focus to his family and spend his time and energy on them. Family shouldn't wait until there's time or until one is old to be loved and accompanied.

Given the Sterling family's economic situation, even if they took a few years or decades off, it wouldn't be a problem.

The Sterling family had long achieved financial freedom.

Meredith looked at Terrence with teary eyes and hugged him tightly. "Okay."

She felt blessed by heaven in this life-to have a man who loved her and their daughter and understood the importance of family. She had no other wishes.

Terrence kissed Meredith's forehead. He also planned to give Meredith a wedding during this year and spend quality time with his family.

As for Reginald, he wouldn't dare step into Auroraville anytime soon; he had his own troubles now. Terrence didn't need to worry about Reginald's revenge for the time being.

Little Lucky's return brought joy to the entire Sterling family. Early the next morning, Stella and Julian arrived, and Grandma Sterling came with her cane to see Little Lucky.

Harvey also came early in the morning. Seeing that Little Lucky had really returned made him very happy too.

While Stella and others were with Little Lucky, Harvey pulled Terrence aside and hesitantly said, "Boss, um... could you do me a favor? I want to see Selene."
