Tobias selected the ingredients and placed the food on the rack to barbecue. Lucy mixed the condiments into a marinade and passed them to Tobias. "Darling, try using the marinade I made." "Okay."Tobias answered in assent and poured the marinade on the food. Instantly, a fragrance permeated the Smith Residence. Even passersby outside the compound couldn't help but look when they smelled the aroma.The aroma left everyone drooling.Shocked, Tobias said, "Did you make this marinade?"Lucy nodded and said, "Yes, did I say that earlier?"Tobias laughed. "I'm just shocked. I heard you're a great cook, but I never expected your marinade to be this fragrant. You're always full of surprises.""Don't you think your wife is amazing?" Lucy grinned as she hugged Tobias' waist coyly."My wife is the best! Come, let me kiss you." Tobias kissed her on the lips.Lucy noticed Kate from the corner of her eye. The latter was staring innocently at their every move. Instantly, Lucy's face was as

"I've already thought about what I want to give him as a gift. If it hadn't been for what happened last night…"Lucy blushed and changed the topic immediately. "Anyway, I'll work faster on the gift and give it to him myself.""Last night?" Sienna smiled teasingly and said, "What did you guys do?""Geez. You're such a busybody who just loves to hear gossip." Lucy said, "You can finish chopping the rest of the vegetables. I'm going to prepare the dishes.""Fine, then." Sienna was just messing with Lucy. She noticed the latter changing topic and didn't feel the need to pursue it further.Tobias left quietly and went to the balcony. He could see what everyone was doing in the garden from this angle. However, he fell into deep thought. Time really did fly. He couldn't believe that he and Lucy had been married for a year now. He couldn't resist thinking back to the days when they'd first met each other. His lips curled into a grin when he recalled each and every moment.Then, Tobia

Once Tobias took a bite of Lucy's dishes, he couldn't control himself anymore. Every dish she made was simply the most delicious food in the world. Lucy noticed how satisfied he was with her cooking and said, "If you like the dishes I make, I'll cook for you every day."Tobias held her hand and rubbed her wrists. "I can't let you go through this trouble every day."Lucy shook her head. "It's no trouble at all. Have a taste of this other dish."She put more food on Tobias' plate. Both of them were so engrossed in their love. They were halfway through the meal before they realized that Shaun and the gang had left a long time ago.They were enjoying their meal when someone rang the doorbell. Shaun and Sienna, who were in the living room, exchanged glances."It's the police, Mr. Smith. They said someone called them about a missing child.""Escort them in here, now."There were four police officers. Tobias and Lucy told them everything about how they discovered Kate. Throughout the

Tobias and Lucy had been married for almost a year. They longed for a kid. Although she had this condition, he didn't give up on her. Instead, he was looking for ways to treat it. After that, the sense of unease in Lucy's heart abated. She thought Tobias was going to resent her for it. "Okay. I'll go to the hospital one of these days."Tobias said, "You're quite close to Nightshadow. He's an excellent doctor. You can ask for his help.""That's right. How have I not thought of that?"Lucy said, "I'll bring it up with him the next time I see him for the acupuncture."Tobias responded, "Okay. Go home and take a break. We're going to the charity auction tonight.""Okay."Both of them drove back to Ripley Residence. Kate was still sleeping soundly. Walter was very surprised when Tobias carried her into the place. Then, he got to know that she was a missing child.Tobias arranged for Kate to sleep in the guest room before taking a nap with Lucy. However, she didn't sleep after she

Lucy and Rhett couldn't help but chuckle at what Kate said. Lucy said, "Blood brothers are meant for men, Kate. I'm a lady.""Oh…" Kate looked like she understood what Lucy said, but she didn't fully grasp it.Rhett went straight to the point. "Lucy, if you're okay with it, I can make you my godsister. That way, I can look after you in the future."Lucy blinked. She hadn't thought he would be this straightforward. In fact, she also felt a deep connection with him. When she saw him, she felt like she was seeing her own family.She wasn't totally against the idea of making him her godbrother. However, she was a little sad about how coldly Brett treated her. Her eyes darkened. She said, "I appreciate it, Rhett. You probably shouldn't make any decision until after you talk to your brother."Rhett wasn't about to discuss it with Brett. He intended to do it first before letting Brett know about it. "We're all adults here. We made our decisions after careful consideration. There's no

Kate burst into tears when the burly, middle-aged man with an axe seized her. "Save me, Mrs. Ripley!""Don't move, Kate. Calm down. I'm going to save you!"Lucy took a deep breath. "We can talk it out, mister. Let her go, now. She's just five years old, for God's sake!"Lucy tried getting closer as she spoke. But the man held the axe and said in an agitated tone, "Stay back. I said stay back, all of you!"He brandished his axe, looking like he was about to chop Kate's head off at any given moment. Lucy saw it, and her heart leaped to her throat. Although Kate wasn't her daughter, she'd spent substantial time with her. She loved Kate for how smart and adorable she was. Naturally, she wouldn't want anything to happen to the little girl. The people around them also screamed ceaselessly. More than half of them ran away. Only the bolder people stayed at the scene. Some of them recorded the whole thing, while some of them called the police. Lucy put her hands up, signaling to the m

The axeman's behavior swiftly caught the attention of the media and the police, who rushed to the scene.At the scene, the police tried negotiating with him through a loudspeaker, persuading him to release the hostages. They tried convincing him to turn over a new leaf. However, the axeman didn't open the door—he continued to imprison Lucy and Kate in the small pantry in the coffee shop.The lights in the pantry were turned off, and it was dark around them. The airtight environment made it hard to breathe.Lucy and Kate's hands and feet were tied with ropes. Kate's neck was bleeding, and she was about to pass out from the claustrophobic space.Lucy heard the police from the outside. "Listen to me, whoever you are. Please release the hostages. As long as the hostages are safe, we can discuss any terms you want…""Get Tobias Ripley here! I want to speak to him! Otherwise, I will kill them!"Tobias?Lucy's heart dropped. Initially, she thought she had been overthinking it. To her

"What did you say? Lucy is being held hostage?" Tobias' face drained of color, and his eyes widened. His heart was about to jump out of his body when he heard Lucy was held hostage."Damn it!" He would obliterate anyone who dared to hurt Lucy."Send me the location!"Tobias received the location Finn sent and sprinted to his car. It was as if the vehicle grew wings and zoomed off in the blink of an eye.In the car, Tobias asked, "What is going on? How did she get held hostage? Who is this person? Have we done a thorough check on the guy?"Finn replied over the phone, "The police have identified him as a 50-year-old man, Simon Lombardi. He requested that you speak with him at the scene.""Is he after me? Who sent him?"He had always attracted hate when he got in the way of someone's plans in the business field, so he was often the target of malicious schemes."Mr. Ripley, I found out through my investigation that he was the resident who posed an obstacle to our Pentacirclet Av
