I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The doctor wrapped the baby in a thin blanket and brought her to Joy Chaucer. "Look, this is your daughter. She's not a monster, she's so cute. It's just unfortunate that she has a murderer for a mother."

The doctor felt sorry for the child, thinking she was unlucky to be born to Joy Chaucer.

Joy Chaucer closed her eyes and shouted at the doctor, "Take her away! I told you to take her away, didn't you hear me? I don't want to see her. She's a monster, not my daughter."

Joy Chaucer was extremely agitated.

The doctor, fearing she might harm the baby, said coldly, "Someone like you has a daughter and doesn't even cherish her. So many people long for children but can't have any. This child is unlucky to have ended up with you." "Give her to whoever wants her; I don't." Joy Chaucer didn't even glance at the baby.

The doctor angrily took the baby away.

Joy Chaucer was afraid of the child and naturally wouldn't breastfeed her.

Ferris was also serving time in prison, so there was no one to take care of the baby. According to regulations, the prison contacted Meredith.

By blood relation, Meredith was the child's maternal aunt. Since the biological parents were unfit to raise her, Meredith had the option to take custody or not.

At that moment, Meredith was telling a story to her daughter Little Lucky when she received the call from the prison informing her that Joy Chaucer had given birth to a daughter.

The child was premature but otherwise healthy, weighing just over five pounds and needing extra care.

Meredith wasn't a saint. Even though she had the means to support another child financially, she refused to take in Joy Chaucer's daughter.

Life in an orphanage wasn't easy either. Meredith herself had grown up in one and couldn't bear to send anyone there.

After weighing her options, Meredith decided to find an adoptive family for the child herself.

For now, the baby would have to stay in the prison nursery.

Terrence was even less willing to raise Joy Chaucer's daughter. If Meredith refused, he certainly wouldn't agree either.

Their love was reserved for their own children; they wouldn't be swayed by others' moral judgments.

The prison understood Meredith's stance and didn't bother her further.

Meredith took a nap with her daughter and then took Little Lucky to visit Azure's studio.

Terrence was busy preparing for their wedding.

At the studio, Azure was teaching a group of children classical dance. Azure's reputation and skill attracted many parents who sent their children to learn from her.

After an incident at Meredith's restaurant, Reese also came to help at the dance studio.

Initially, Reese had come to learn classical dance to improve her poise. Over time, she fell in love with it and started assisting Azure.

When Meredith saw Reese, she could hardly believe it. "Reese, you've changed so much! I almost didn't recognize you. You look amazing."

At 37, Reese had improved her overall demeanor through classical dance. Her figure had become more toned, and confidence radiated from her face. She looked much younger and more vibrant. Previously, Reese's appearance was ordinary and she didn't know how to dress herself. Now she dressed fashionably and exuded confidence and beauty.

Reese blushed slightly. "Meredith, don't tease me like that. I'm not that beautiful."

In front of Azure and Meredith, Reese might not be considered conventionally beautiful based on looks alone. But personal charm isn't just about appearance; it's about presence and spirit too. "You really look great," Meredith said happily. "Reese, this is wonderful!"

Azure walked over with a smile. "There's even better news-Reese has a suitor now. He's a good man with a decent background and would make an excellent husband."

"Really? Congratulations, Reese," Meredith said with a smile. "If Azure says he's good, then he must be."

Reese shyly replied, "It's not that serious yet."

Just then, a man around forty years old stood outside the window holding a bouquet of flowers and waved at Reese.

The man had a pleasant smile and looked slightly plump but overall gave off a kind impression.

Azure teased, "Your man is here."
