Tobias looked at the time and said, "I have a meeting to go to. I'll find a helper so she can care for you while you rest in the hotel. If there is anything urgent, you can contact me."Hannah nodded and said, "Okay."Tobias settled some matters and brought Hannah back to her room. Then, he went for his meeting at the company. Hannah watched Tobias working from the balcony. A sinister smile appeared on her lips.…Lucy was in the countryside. Life was very relaxing without the internet, but it was slightly dull. She had nothing to do, so she strolled along the trail. She arrived at a pond and saw Benedict and Rhett fishing.They were fishing and talking. Neither of them were willing to part.Rhett grinned and said, "Mr. Jones, you're unwilling to admit defeat after losing to me at chess. Now, you want to beat me in fishing. Don't you try to run away when I get more fish than you!"Benedict was slightly angered. "Nonsense. Who said I lost in chess? Quick, focus on fishing! If you

It had been a long time since the couple talked on the phone. They felt warm inside when they expressed their longing for each other.Tobias complained, "Babe, I'm about to go crazy from missing you!"Lucy said, "I miss you too, darling. My family and I are in the countryside without a signal. I came to town to do some shopping and finally had reception on my phone. So, I quickly called you."Lucy pouted and snorted. "I called you a dozen times and waited more than two hours for you. Hmph!"Tobias said coyly, "I was at a meeting. I'll set a designated ringtone for you next time. As long as you call, I'll drop everything I'm doing and answer your call."Lucy nodded. "That sounds more like it."Tobias suggested, "Let's hop onto a video call?"Lucy responded, "Okay."They ended the call. Soon, Tobias gave her a video call. Lucy immediately answered.Lucy was at the roadside. She sat on the tricycle and wore a straw hat. The sun was blaring, and her face blushed from the heat.To

Lucy's expression grew grim. "Rhett!"She sounded a little solemn. After all, her inability to get pregnant was a thorn in her heart. It made her feel uncomfortable.Rhett looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry, Lucy. I didn't mean to make you feel sad."Lucy sighed, and her eyes were empty. "It's fine, Rhett."Things got a little awkward after that. Benedict came out of nowhere and said, "He's right. You do look like a pregnant lady."Lucy said helplessly, "You know about my condition, Mr. Jones. There's no way I could get pregnant!"Benedict asked, "How long has it been since you had your last period?"Lucy pondered on it for a brief moment and said, "I didn't pay attention to it. It could've been a month or two…"Lucy thought she didn't have periods due to hormonal imbalance. After all, many things happened recently. So, she didn't really pay any attention to it. "Get over here. I'm going to check your pulse."Lucy extended her hand for him to check her pulse. Rhett l

Tobias had worked for two days and nights straight. It just so happened that he had got all his jobs done when Lucy came home. She put down all of her suitcases and got washed up. Then, she eagerly gave Tobias a call. What Lucy didn't know was that Tobias had just boarded the airplane, and his cell phone had no signal. So, the call didn't get through. She listened to the mechanical recorded voice and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Lucy lay on her bed and murmured, "I'm home, Tobias. Why aren't you picking up your phone? Are you busy with work again?"Lucy felt heartbroken that Tobias had such a difficult time at work, and felt regretful as well. She held the pregnancy test result in her hand and tossed and turned in bed. Not long after, she felt exhausted and yawned before falling asleep.Lucy slept for more than two hours. Tobias finally made it back home from his travels. Walter stepped forward and welcomed him. "You're back at last, Mr. Ripley."Tobias asked, "Did somet

Tobias felt dejected when he learned that Lucy was infertile. He also made his peace with the fact that he could never become a father. However, he was greatly and pleasantly surprised with the unexpected coming of the twins.Tobias watched as the doctor gave Lucy an ultrasound scan. He asked gingerly, "How's she doing, doctor?"The doctor replied, "The kids are healthy. It pays to be particularly careful before she completes the first trimester. You two will have to bear with it and refrain from doing anything that'll hurt the twins."Tobias looked uncharacteristically embarrassed. "Got it."Lucy blushed. She couldn't bring herself to look at the doctor at all. After a series of check-ups, Tobias led her outside. His eyes were sparkling, and there was a silly smile on his face when he looked at her.Lucy asked coquettishly, "What's with the silly smiles, darling?"Tobias gripped her hands tightly and said, "I thought I could never become a father, babe. I didn't think God would

Tobias and Lucy went back to the Ripley Residence. After dinner, Tobias led Lucy back to the master bedroom. He said, "Things are different for you now, babe. You have to be extra careful. The bathroom floor is slippery. Perhaps I should help you wash up in the future."Lucy blushed when she heard what he said. "I'm not that fussy. You're free to go about your business if that's what it is. I'm going to hit the sack once I've taken a bath."Tobias was still worried. "Are you sure you don't need my help?"Lucy was embarrassed. "No one would let someone else wash themselves up. It's not like I don't have a pair of hands and feet. Go ahead and do your stuff.""Alright, then." Tobias looked regretful. Then, he thoughtfully found some fresh pajamas for Lucy to change into when she was done bathing. He nagged at her and said, "You have to be careful.""Relax." Lucy pouted. "Hmph. You're so nervous, but I wonder if you're concerned about me or the twins."Tobias pulled her into his arms

Kate's words had all but debunked Millie's lies. The latter looked ashamed. She said, "I have to talk to Mr. Ripley about something, Kate. Will you go back to your room?""Oh…" Kate wanted to chat with Tobias, but she saw that Millie was unhappy. So, she reluctantly went back to her room.Tobias looked at the three of them, and his mind raced. A month ago, Lucy was held hostage by the axeman. He secretly instructed the doctor to let Lucy and Rhett do the DNA test again. However, he didn't think there'd be a paternity report between him and Kate.Tobias thought long and hard about it. Who in the world let him and Kate do a paternity test? He closed his eyes and thought back to what happened that day. Aside from Lucy, Rhett, his assistant, and the doctor, who else did he see on that day?Then, Tobias got the answer. He also saw Joey that day. All of a sudden, Tobias opened his eyes. His lips curled into a cold grin, and his eyes were brimming with determination. Tobias had almost f

It was midnight by the time Tobias went back to Ripley Residence. Lucy was particularly tired ever since she got pregnant. She waited for him on the bed for a while after she washed up. In her grogginess, she felt someone lying down next to her.Lucy opened her eyes and murmured, "You're back, darling. What time is it now?"Tobias rubbed her head affectionately and said warmly, "It's 11:00 pm now. Did I wake you and the twins up? I'm sorry. I'll come home earlier from here on out."Lucy moved to the side and held Tobias tightly. She shook her head and said, "It's fine. You're working really hard, darling."Tobias pulled Lucy into his arms. He touched her belly and said affectionately, "Babe.""Hmm?"Tobias said, "It doesn't matter what happens tomorrow, but you have to trust me. Okay?"Lucy raised her head and gave him a confused look. His eyes were profound. Although he looked intelligent all around, she could still sense his fatigue. She leaned on his chest and nodded. "Okay

Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia

Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

"Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
