Noah covered his head in shame. He bent down and put his head between his legs, unwilling to let Lucy see this ugly side of him.It was cruel enough for a man to lose his ability to have intimacy, but it was even more brutal for him to say it out loud.Everyone on Pearl Island knew about it and would laugh at him from time to time.They seemed to have forgotten that his initial intention was to save someone. No one empathized with him and only ridiculed him.A glint of heartache flickered in Lucy's eyes. She went to hug Noah and comforted him, "Noah, the medical field has advanced tremendously overseas. Since you're heading overseas, why don't we seek treatment there?"Noah shook his head and said, "I've sought treatment. All the doctors said it's incurable." Lucy felt upset and unsure how to comfort Noah. Noah saw Lucy bent down and quickly helped her up. He said, "You're carrying twins. Why are you squatting with me? Get up."He got too carried away and held Lucy's hands in
Noah quickly shook his head. "Of course not. Who cares about the relocation compensation?"Lucy nodded admiringly and said, "Then, you can say I'm your distant cousin."Disappointment appeared in Noah's eyes, but he quickly hid the emotions in him."Okay."They exited the bedroom and allowed the people in uniforms to register their names. Now, Lucy was identified as Noah's distant cousin.After registering, the people in uniforms left.Lucy asked, "Noah, "I don't have any identification or passport with me. How am I supposed to go to Faldoria?"Noah said, "I'll find a way. I'm heading out. Stay home and rest."Lucy nodded. "I'll wait for you."For some unknown reason, Lucy was highly dependent on Noah and thought he would solve all her problems.Noah went out to settle some matters for Lucy. Two hours later, he brought a stack of documents and said, "Here you go, Ms. Everhart. These will be your identification documents from now on."Lucy flipped the document and started rea
Lucy was milking the cow when she heard the little boy's complaint. She helplessly smiled as she looked at the boy with the gentlest eyes.The little boy's face was still slightly chubby with baby fat, but his handsome features were apparent. He would be an extremely attractive man when he grew up.Elio Everhart stretched his arms and coyly asked for a hug. "Mom, I want a hug."Lucy bent over and scooped the boy into her arms. "Oh, my dear Eli. You've gained weight again."Elio stuck his tongue out and said, "Mom, don't call me Eli. I am a boy, and this name sounds so feminine. I won't be able to get a girlfriend next time if someone hears it."Lucy laughed in amusement. She grazed the tip of his nose and said affectionately, "You witty little boy."Meanwhile, a figure sprinted from a distance. They looked in that direction.Lucy's older son, Solomon Everhart, caught up to them. He dashed so quickly that he kicked a rock and fell.Solomon screamed. "Ah!"Lucy shrieked and said
Hope glimmered in Noah's eyes. "With the government's help, we can export fresh milk abroad."Noah's father's farm produced the best fresh milk. After the milk gathered from the cows was processed, the liquid was packaged and sold in the country. Their business would boom if they sold them abroad.Lucy said, "That's fantastic news! I'm confident in our environment, the quality of our cows, the fresh milk they produce, and how we care for them. Noah, I believe they will pick us."Noah nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm equally confident. Darlings, let's go. I'm bringing you out for a great feast."Elio happily applauded. "Yeah!"Solomon glanced at him with disdain. "What a suck-up," he muttered. Elio snorted and said, "Noah, I want a beef and cheese steak! I want a huge one!"Lucy and Noah laughed from amusement. They held each of the children's hands and walked toward the room.Meanwhile, a posh car drove past them.Tobias noticed them from the car. The image of a man and woman hold
Lucy woke up early in the morning. She made breakfast and prepared glasses of fresh warm milk. She was about to wake up her babies to go to school, but she saw Solomon and Elio come out of their rooms.Lucy smiled affectionately and said, "Sully, Eli, freshen up quickly. Mommy's sending both of you to kindergarten after breakfast."Solomon responded, "I've done that, Mommy. Eli still wanted to sleep, but I dragged him out of bed."Elio pouted his lips in protest. "It's all your fault, Sully. My beautiful dream is gone because of you."Solomon retorted disdainfully, "Tsk. Did you dream about eating a tasty chicken leg again?"Elio said, "That's not it. I dreamed about a man who was tall and handsome. He said he's our daddy and that we're about to reconcile with each other. Then, Sully woke me up. Give Daddy back to me, Sully!" He was very upset that his wonderful dream had been interrupted. Back when they were younger, they would frequently ask Lucy who their dad was. She might
Solomon's eyes sparkled. Meanwhile, Elio was still brushing his teeth when he heard what Lucy said. He spoke up, his mouth still full of foam. "Do you mean it, Mommy?"Lucy chuckled gently. "Why, of course. Why would I trick you?"Elio cheered up. "Oh, yeah! I really want to know what Daddy looks like!"Solomon freshened up, and the two of them started to dig into their breakfast. Noah came downstairs and saw that they were all out of bed. "Top of the morning, pumpkins!" he greeted them.Solomon and Elio exclaimed simultaneously, "Good morning, Noah!"Noah patted them affectionately and looked at Lucy. She flashed him a smile and said, "I've prepared breakfast for you, Noah."Noah's gaze carried a subtle passion when he stared at Lucy. Both of them had spent six years together, and he knew very well that he had fallen in love with her. However, Noah was also aware that he didn't deserve her. So, he concealed his feelings for her and had no intention to let it surface.Noah sai
Noah heard what Elio said and pulled his car to the side of the road. He asked with a solemn expression, "Sully, Elie, did the kids at kindergarten bully you?"Solomon's lips twitched a little. "Eli's weak. That's why he got bullied. I just ignored them."Elio retorted, "Keep pretending, Sully. Every time someone badmouthed Daddy, you'd secretly pull a prank on them and scare them. You even scared our new classmate—Angela, so much that she cried."Noah grew nervous when he heard what the kids said. If Elio hadn't inadvertently brought up this incident, there was no knowing how long he and Lucy would've been kept in the dark. Bullying in school was no trivial matter, and they had to handle it as soon as possible.Noah said, "If people bully you and call you bastards, just tell them that you do have a father. After all, stepdads count as fathers, too. You two tell them that I'm not going to let them off the hook if they bully you guys in the future."However, you can't intimidate th
Tobias turned around and scanned the twins from head to toe. Did he look like them? How were they handsome? Obviously, he was the most handsome of the three of them. Tobias held Angela's hand and walked toward Noah. Noah was about to take Solomon and Elio through the school gate when he saw Tobias coming head-on. Although they had never met, he had been seeing Tobias' picture for six whole years. So, his eyes immediately widened, and he was rooted to the spot at once. Tobias quietly scanned Noah from head to toe. His voice was cold when he spoke. "Are you the twins' father?"Solomon and Elio glanced at Tobias, who appeared out of nowhere. Tobias was very tall, and they had to raise their heads to look at him. The moment they saw his face, they were shocked to the core. Why did they resemble this stunning and aloof man so much? They had to be long-lost brothers for them to look so much like each other. If that wasn't true, they had to be father and sons who were separated.
