She could rell Jennie had taken to Austyn

She just didn’t expect her daughter would develop such a strong attachment to him in such a short time

For the first time, she realised that having a father In Jennie’s life could mean a lot to the little girl 

She tried her best to give the kids a good life, but she could never completely replace the role of a father figure 

Kira looked at her daughter’s crestfallen face and wasn’t sure of what to say

Jeshua came to her rescue. Jennie, Daddy went to work. He’s not gone. Just like Mummy has to go to work, too.” 

Though the twins were of the same age, Joshua was much more precocious than Jennie

Jennie’s face lit up. So Daddy will come home after he’s done with work?! 

Joshua glanced at Kira, who immediately said, Of course. Now, go have fun in school. I’ll pick you up in the afternoonJennie nodded

She hugged Kira Bye, Muminy.” 

Kira planted a kiss on Jennie’s rosy cheelc. Bye, honey.” 

She patted Joshua’s head. Talor care of your sister,” 

Joshua nodded

Kira waited till she saw both kids go into the classroom before sprinting to the bus stop

She was running late for work

dumbstruck when she opened the door to see her young master standing on the doorstep

It had been four years since she last saw him, but he had changed not one bit

Kai was there to catch her when she fainted 

After she came to, she had to hold on to Austyn’s wrist to make sure she wasn’t dreaming

Young Madam will be so thrilled,she said through her tears

Why isn’t she staying here? Austyn asked

He didn’t recognise the housekeeper, but he wasn’t averse to her motherly touch

Elsie sighed. She moved out of here after she gave birth to the twins. She cut off all ties with the McCarthy family after her father passed away. She won’t even let Charlotte visit the kids,” 

Where is my…my mother? Austyn was a little nervous about meeting Charlotte 

Elsie shook her head, indignant. Charlotte was taken by Master McCarthy. She’s kept under house arrest at Cedarwood Mansion, the McCarthy family residence

Austyn knitted his brows 

Kal told him about what Henry did

Austyn found it hard to accept that he had such a cruel, heartless man for a father

Sensing Austyn’s dark mood, Kai changed the topic. Elsie, maybe we should show Boss his 

Boss his old room.” 

Elsie stood up. Of course. Right this way. I’ve left everything untouched. The room is cleaned every day

Kai took her aside after she led Austyn to the master bedroom upstairs. Elsie, there’s something I have to tell you 

Boss has lost his memory.‘ 

What?Elsie’s mouth hung open

She swayed on her feet

Kal was afraid she might faint again

Luckily, she regained her composure

*I think it’s best if you don’t tell Mrs McCarthy about Boss’s return yet,Kai said. She’s going to be heartbroken if her son doesn’t recognise her.Elsie mulled it over

Her shoulders sagged. ‘I was going to call her just nowFine, I guess you are right.” 

Her Diaries 

Austyn entered the spacious master bedroom

The first thing he noticed was the vase on the credenza

Fresh lilies gave off a pleasant scent and seemed to brighten up the entire room

The kingsized bed was made

Two pillows were arranged side by side, but it was clear that no one had slept in the bed for a long time

Austyn picked up a light brown teddy bear sitting on one pillow

He saw a pink version of this in Kira’s apartment the day before

He thought it belonged to Jennie

But now he realised that maybe mother and daughter shared the same fondness for plush toys

The thought of Kira playing with the doll brought a smile to his lips

Austyn put down the doll, but it rolled off the pillow and fell onto the floor

He bent down to retrieve it 

That was when he noticed something under the bed

He hesitated briefly, then he crawled under it and removed the box

It was a cardboard box, the type used to store shoes

There was a piggy bank with some coins inside, several stacks of cash bundled with rubber bands, and a few notebooks 

Austyn picked one up and flipped through it

He realised it was a diary

*4th June. First day of our wedding. The groom is not here. Probably out somewhere fooling around 

*26th June. Finally saw my husband today. He showed up two weeks after the wedding day. Still as tall and handsome as I remembered. But just as cold. Didn’t even call my name.” 

5th July. OMG! He saw me naked! I didn’t know he was in the bedroom! I forgot Elsie was doing laundry today and all the towels in the bathroom were gone. Had to come out in the buff after taking a shower. He saw everything! OMG!!
