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
Lucy had no idea that Solomon and Elio met Tobias today, and she didn't know that he took the initiative to help them.It was already 8:30 am by the time Lucy drove to the old lady's house. She was late in sending over the milk. She carried a carton of milk to the doorstep and rang the bell. After a brief moment, there wasn't any movement from inside the house. Lucy rang the doorbell again. She noticed that no one was answering her. So, she yelled, "Is anyone here? I'm from Pattinson Dairy, and I'm here to deliver your milk."However, there was still no response from inside the house. Lucy dialed the old lady's number, and it rang for a while, but she didn't hear anything else. She had no choice but to walk over to the windows and peer inside. At the next moment, Lucy saw an old lady passed out on the floor. She was so shocked that she rapped rapidly on the window. She yelled, "Can you hear me, lady?"After a brief moment, the old lady raised her hand and called out weakly, "H
That was when Lucy recalled her run-in with the lady from the house across the street. Lucy was a beautiful lady. So, the man from the same house would look at her rather perversely whenever she delivered the milk every day. Lucy didn't want to have too much interaction with the man. So, she'd leave immediately after she delivered the milk. To Lucy's surprise, the lady noticed some signs and got it in her head that there was something untoward happening between Lucy and the man. So, the lady had it out with Lucy on the spot. Lucy didn't do anything wrong, and she retorted the lady's words mercilessly. She didn't count on Cindy seeing that moment, though.Lucy chuckled embarrassingly and said, "I'm sorry you had to see that, Cindy."Cindy said, "Don't be. I had a good time watching you guys. You were just so cool, and you're every bit as impressive as my grandson is."Lucy giggled and didn't say anything. Cindy continued, "Now that we have some time on our hands, do you wan
Lucy went back home. She felt restless, and she had lost her wits. Noah paced back and forth in the living room. When he saw Lucy coming back, he exclaimed, "You're back at last, Greta!"Lucy raised her gaze and noticed that Noah had something to say to her. So, she asked, "What's the matter, Noah?"Noah responded, "Take a seat. I need to tell you something."Lucy nodded. She also wanted to tell him about the fact that she saw Samson. Both of them sat on the couch, and things felt a little depressing. Noah scanned her from head to toe gingerly. Noah had secretly loved Lucy for six years. Although he had never intended to let his feelings surface, he felt as if he could no longer keep Lucy by his side after Tobias showed up in front of his eyes.Lucy asked, "What is it, Noah? Tell me."Noah said, "I saw Tobias today."Lucy's eyes widened, and her heart suddenly pounded like crazy. Her throat felt dry, too. After a brief moment, she lowered her gaze and asked in a hoarse voice, "
