I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Azure said it on purpose. Years ago, Prince Darcy had a car accident and fell into a river, with a chance of survival. But Meredith fell into the sea, the rolling and turbulent sea. Even on a calm day, no matter how good one’s swimming skills were, it wouldn’t be long before they succumbed in the deep sea, let alone with a typhoon that could take lives in an instant. But people must have hope to live.

Hearing that Meredith might still be alive, a glimmer of light flashed in Terrence’s eyes-that was hope. A spark of hope ignited in the darkness.

Terrence asked, “Did you come here because of my mother?”

“Everyone is very worried about you,” Azure said. “When you left, the Sterling family lost its pillar. During this time, your mother fell ill twice, and the old lady was also hospitalized once. Rowan is alright; she’s healthy and only caught a cold. No one wanted to tell you these things because they didn’t want you to worry, but everyone hoped for your return.”

There had been many words of comfort, but everyone knew the truth.

“You should stay at the temple tonight. I’ll ask Master Emerson to arrange a place for you,” Terrence said as he carefully placed Little Lucky on the bed.

Azure understood and said no more.

Azure and the nanny settled down at the temple. Terrence did not agree to go back down the mountain, but his reluctance to part with Little Lucky was a good sign.

The snow scene at Park Bridge Mountain was beautiful. Azure had been busy with work over the years and hadn’t taken the time to enjoy life and appreciate such scenery.

Little Lucky slept in the room while Terrence instructed others to look after her. He took Azure out for dinner since she hadn’t eaten after getting off the plane and coming straight to Park Bridge Mountain.

After they left, Puffy quietly sneaked into the room. He often liked to sneak into rooms when no one was around. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a little baby on the bed.

Curious, Puffy walked over and stood by the bed looking at the sleeping Little Lucky. “Wow, what a beautiful baby.”

Puffy was surprised that such a pretty baby had come to the temple-so pink and cute. He couldn’t help but reach out to touch Little Lucky’s face.

With that pinch, Little Lucky woke up, her big eyes filled with confusion and curiosity as she looked at Puffy. The two children stared at each other.

Little Lucky didn’t cry; she just lay there on the bed.

Puffy was nervous for a moment but relaxed when he saw that Little Lucky wasn’t crying. He reached out again to pinch her face. “What’s your name?”

Little Lucky couldn’t speak clearly yet. She blinked her eyes, turned over, and sat up on the bed looking at Puffy. She mimicked Puffy by reaching out her hand to pinch his face.

Understanding Little Lucky’s intention, Puffy squatted down a bit and brought his face closer to hers.

Little Lucky pinched Puffy’s face and laughed happily.

When Little Lucky laughed, she had two small dimples on her chubby cheeks, making her particularly adorable.

Puffy laughed too; it was his first time seeing such a pretty baby. “Hi, I’m Puffy. I’m older than you, so you can call me Brother Puffy. Let’s go build a snowman outside, okay?”

Little Lucky didn’t understand but nodded anyway; children always liked playing with other children.

Puffy reached out to pick up Little Lucky but noticed she wasn’t wearing a coat. Being sensible for his age, he grabbed a coat from nearby and helped her put it on.

At five years old, Puffy could dress himself and do many things independently; he was very capable with his hands.

Once dressed, Little Lucky slid off the bed and Puffy held her hand as they went outside to play in the snow.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The two children had a great time playing without feeling cold at all. Puffy made a snowball for Little Lucky: “Sister, here’s a snowball for you.”

Little Lucky smiled and reached out: “Snowball.”

She couldn’t hold it well; it fell apart.

“Brother,” Little Lucky called out in her baby voice.

“It’s okay; I’ll make another one for you,” Puffy said cheerfully. Having no playmates at the temple made Little Lucky’s presence even more delightful for him.

They played together in the snow while Terrence returned after taking Azure for dinner. Seeing no one on the bed made him panic instantly.

He had thought Little Lucky wouldn’t wake up so soon when he left with Azure-only gone for a few minutes-and now she was missing.

“Rowan,” Terrence called out urgently as he rushed outside to search for them.
