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.
Solomon and Elio exchanged glances and blinked at each other. They were twins, and they shared an unspoken bond ever since they were babies. They knew what was on each other's minds. At this moment, Solomon and Elio thought the handsome man standing in front of them was very nice. In fact, they had an impression that he was their dad. Solomon's ears turned red, and he turned his head sideways out of embarrassment. Meanwhile, Elio said, "It's okay, mister. It's not your fault."Tobias glanced at Solomon, and Solomon sensed that Tobias was looking at him. So, Solomon turned around and fixed his gaze on Tobias. "It's my fault too, mister. I won't put a cockroach into Angela's bag again."Solomon and Elio were mature and well-behaved. Tobias was pleased. He looked at them and thought about the kind of lady their mother had to be to have raised them so well. "Attaboy." Tobias rose to his feet and glanced at Noah. He spoke sincerely and said, "I'm sorry."Noah snapped out of his g
Elio said angrily, "Didn't you brush your teeth before you walked out of your house, butterball? How many poo-poo do you have to eat to smell so bad? I think I'm going to be sick!"The chubby boy retorted, "How dare you insult me? You asked for it!" He rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat Elio up. Solomon pulled Elio back and stood in front of him, protecting him. He looked at the chubby boy coldly. He exuded an imposing air, despite his age. "Lay a grubby finger on Elio. I dare you!"Solomon's eyes were very fierce as if he wanted to grind the chubby boy's bones to dust. The way he carried himself was reminiscent of Tobias as well. The chubby boy yelled, "Come to me, guys. Beat them up!" The moment he said those words, a group of boys in the class surrounded Solomon and Elio. It looked like they were about to attack the two of them. Angela was in the classroom, and she was very scared when she saw what was happening. Then, she thought back to what Tobias told her earlie
