Sienna asked in a surprised tone, "Do you know Lucy?"She couldn't help but scrutinize Axel. She raised her eyebrows, noticing that he was dressed elegantly and was good-looking. She had an urge to set him up with Lucy. Lion had been running around in circles at the door. But now that Sienna was there, it instantly turned into a well-mannered dog. It looked at Axel with pleading eyes.Axel smiled faintly. "Yes, I know. I'm Axel Lyons, Ms. Everhart's neighbor. You seem to have forgotten, but we met each other once at the hospital. At the time, we were all rushing about and didn't have time to greet each other.""Really?" Sienna tried her best to recall, but she couldn't be sure if she had seen Axel before. Perhaps people were right when they said a woman's mind wasn't as sharp as it used to be once she got pregnant."How do I address you?""I'm Sienna Lewis."Axel said, "Can I go in and visit Ms. Everhart, Ms. Lewis? She fell off the cliff and got injured before. I took her to

The next day, Tobias woke up early in the morning. He was still feeling dizzy when he felt around the space next to him instinctively. He became wide awake when he couldn't feel the familiar warmth next to him. His eyes snapped open, and he sat up straight. It took him some time to remember that Lucy had left with Sienna the other night. He had a bad headache from staying up all night. Tobias scratched his head in frustration and went to freshen up. Just as he stepped into the bathroom, his phone rang. Lucy was calling him. On the other side, Lucy hadn't slept for a whole night. She knew she would keep feeling uneasy until she spoke to Tobias.So, she secretly dialed Tobias' number when Sienna wasn't looking. She wanted to get to the bottom of what she had heard that day. However, no one picked up her call, despite how long it rang. Lucy couldn't help but feel disappointed and imagine things. Back at Ripley Residence, Joey sat in the living room. She had been furious all n

Tobias hadn't lost his temper in a long time. Today, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on—he went ballistic."Tobias, put her down!"Tobias didn't put Maya down; instead, he tightened his grip and said coldly, "Mom, it seems like you have too much free time on your hands these days. There's a project that needs your attention at one of our branch offices. Please handle it immediately.""Branch offices?"Joey was perplexed. Since she and Zayne had gotten divorced, the Ripleys had never allowed her to touch any of the Ripley family's assets. She was confused yet surprised by Tobias' words. "Which branch office?"Tobias saw the excitement in Joey's eyes. He said with a sneer, "Faldoria."The expectant look on Joey's face was immediately replaced by disappointment and rage at being played for a fool.However, she swallowed it and didn't lose her temper with Tobias. She chuckled dryly and declined the offer. "Tobias, I haven't managed a company for many years. I don't t

"Walter, say what's on your mind." The only people Tobias treated warmly in that house were Howard, Lucy, and Walter.As he thought about Joey's arrogance, Tobias felt a headache coming. Yet, he felt also disappointed and heartbroken.Walter said, "Two nights ago, Mrs. Ripley…"Just then, Tobias' phone rang."It's Finn. I need to take this first."Walter nodded in assent. Finn was a competent assistant who had worked for Tobias for many years. He had probably called about work."Hello.""Mr. Ripley, something happened at customs when we tried to deliver the order to Faldoria. Now, the client wants to sue us for a breach of contract."Tobias furrowed his brows. "Talk to our lawyers for a problem as small as this."Finn said anxiously, "Mr. Ripley, it's the billion-dollar contract we signed with the Queen of Faldoria. To our surprise, when we delivered the goods, some of it was damaged during the transportation process through customs. "The queen is suing us for a breach of co

The doorbell rang in Lucy's villa.Sienna opened the door and saw Axel and Lion standing at the door. When Lion saw the door open, it happily wagged its tail. It forcefully tugged off the leash and ran inside.Axel said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lewis. Lion is causing trouble again.""It's okay. Lion truly loves Lucy."Axel chuckled. His laugh was like the warm sun in the cold winter; he appeared cheerful and pleasant.Sienna was mesmerized by his laugh. She thought of Lucy's confident and radiant smile. If Lucy and Axel were to stand together, they would be the brightest stars in the world, the subject of everyone's envy. On the other hand, Tobias carried himself maturely and authoritatively; he was someone who left another longing for him. Lucy was a frail and meek woman under his care. While the dynamic would make anyone envious of them, as Lucy's friend, Sienna thought Lucy could be herself with Axel, so she supported him.Hence, she did everything she could to get them

Axel noticed the caution in her eyes. A grim look flashed through his eyes, but it disappeared quickly and was replaced by a warm smile. "I've come to visit you, Ms. Everhart. Ms. Lewis made soup for you, so I brought it up. I hope you don't mind me coming in?"Lucy did indeed mind it; after all, they would be alone in the room. It would be troublesome if word got out and others gossiped about it.However, Axel had come to visit her. She didn't want to seem unfriendly by being so particular about this.So, she composed herself and said, "Sure. You can sit there."Lucy gestured with her eyes and looked at the stool not far away from the bedside table.Axel's eyes followed the direction of her gaze. The stool was at least seven feet away from the bed. He figured that Lucy was probably worried about others gossiping, so she had asked him to sit further away.A glint of disappointment flickered in his eyes.He said, "I'll help you up and feed you soup, Ms. Everhart. You've hurt yo

Walter? Lucy was shocked and hurriedly said, "Quick, let him in.""Okay, Ms. Everhart."Griselda went out and asked Walter to come up.Axel felt inappropriate for him to stay there. So, he got up and said, "Ms. Everhart, I'll help you lie down properly. If you need anything, ask for me. You don't need to feel bad, okay?Lucy answered lightly, "Okay."Axel helped Lucy lie down and took the tray of food. As he was about to leave, his leg suddenly slipped.The soup on the tray slipped. Some spilled on the floor, while the rest splashed on Lucy's body."Ah!" Lucy instinctively shrieked."Ms. Everhart!" Axel screamed in terror, unsure what to do. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Your clothes are wet."Axel hated how clumsy he had been. His face blushed from embarrassment. Upon seeing the tissue box on the bedside table, he instinctively took some and was about to wipe Lucy's dirty clothes."It's my fault, Ms. Everhart. Let me wipe the stains clean." Axel sincerely apologized.Lucy

Griselda wheeled Lucy's wheelchair as everyone went to the living room. Then, Sienna explained what happened.After hearing her explanation, Lucy lowered her gaze. Her eyes turned grim."Mrs. Ripley, listen to me. Don't get this wrong. Mr. Ripley has never gone behind your back or cheated on you.""But…" Lucy said, "I called him twice, and a woman answered both times. P-Plus, they were speaking to each other suggestively." As the conversation reached this point, Lucy bit her lip, suppressing the pain in her chest."Yes, Lucy heard it herself. How could she be wrong? The incident happened many days ago, and Mr. Ripley still hasn't apologized. Let's not talk about the apology. "Now, he's asking Lucy to travel so far when she's severely injured. Is this how he shows his love for Lucy? This is going to hurt her more!"Sienna became angrier as she spoke. She felt a sharp pain; she had agitated the baby. She covered her stomach, wincing in pain."Sienna!" Lucy anxiously looked at h
