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, "
Noah said, "Sully and Eli must've been afraid that you'd get worried. That's why they didn't tell you about it. I've told the teacher about what happened. From here on out, we'll keep an eye on them and keep people from harming them."Lucy nodded. "Okay. I know what I have to do."Noah said, "I'm off to work now. How about we swing by the kindergarten and pick them up together?"Lucy nodded again. "Sure thing."Both of them went out side by side and arrived at the farm to work. The workers at the farm saw how Lucy and Noah were always together the whole time. So, they had long thought of them as a couple. One of the workers said, "Mr. Pattinson and Greta had been together for years. They even had a couple of rugrats. When are they going to get married?"One other worker responded, "Like you said, they had a couple of children. It's only a matter of time before they get married. With that said, don't you guys think that Sully and Eli look nothing like Mr. Pattinson?"Another wor
Charlie passed out all of a sudden, and Noah was so worried that he cried. Lucy went away to call for the doctor.After the doctor checked on Charlie, he administered some oxygen to him and instructed Noah, "Your father has late-stage lung cancer, Mr. Pattinson. Try to fulfill as many requests as you can. After all, he only has six months left."Noah heard what the doctor said and slumped onto the chair, feeling dejected. Lucy said, "Thanks, doc."The doctor left. Lucy saw the pain in Noah's expression and comforted him, "Don't be sad, Noah."Noah looked at the unconscious Charlie and covered his face, feeling agitated. He said with a mix of emotions, "Don't you think I'm particularly useless, Greta?"Lucy shook her head and said, "Not at all. You're awesome." She meant it, too. Back when she had just given birth to Solomon and Elio, she was a newbie mom, and she knew nothing. If Noah hadn't stayed by Lucy's side and helped her out, she would've been all over the palace. There w
Noah was both confused and alarmed. "What do you want?"The Faldorian lady smiled, and her grin was enchanting. She pulled out a business card and said, "I'm Alina Blanc, and I specialize in treating sexual dysfunction in married couples. Feel free to look me up if you have relevant conditions. I'll give you a 20% discount."Noah's pride took a hit. He responded awkwardly, "I don't need it." At the next moment, he ran away with his tail tucked between his legs. Lucy took Alina's business card and asked, "How much is the treatment fee after the 20% discount, doctor?"Alina stuck out five fingers and responded, "That'll be 500 thousand dollars. I guarantee I'll cure him completely. If the opposite proves to be true, I'll pay you back the full amount and another hundred thousand dollars."Lucy saw that Noah had gone far. So she said, "I'll keep in touch with you later." She had just taken off after him when she heard Alina's voice from behind. "Talk to your husband again, miss. Yo
Lucy sensed Tobias looking her way, and she was so diffident that she covered her face and ducked behind Noah, obscuring most of herself with his body. Tobias could only see a slender figure standing behind Noah from his angle. He couldn't make out what the lady looked like. For some reason, he merely stared at them in a daze.Angela asked, "What's wrong, Tobe?"Tobias came back to his senses. "It's nothing. Let's hit the road." He led Angela into the car with Marie in tow.Marie Lemoine was stunned when she saw Solomon and Elio. "The twins are carbon copies of yours, Prince Toddy. It's absolutely uncanny. I would've thought they're your kids if I didn't know better!"Angela pointed at the four figures outside the window. "You say that, but Sully and Eli have a mom and a dad."Tobias followed where Angela was pointing and looked over. It just so happened that he saw the back of a man and a lady holding hands with two boys. It made him feel extremely familiar. In a matter of a
Noah said, "Go ahead."Lucy had just turned around and went to the restroom when Tobias came into the pâtisserie with Angela. Solomon and Elio placed their order, and Noah took the tray. He had just turned around when he saw Tobias face-to-face. Both of them exchanged glances and nodded at each other politely. Solomon and Elio were delighted to see Tobias once again. Elio said sweetly, "Hi, mister. We meet again."Tobias looked at them and felt thrilled. "Yeah."Angela said, "Hi, Sully and Eli. What a coincidence. How about we eat the desserts together?"Solomon and Elio were about to agree to it, but Marie coughed lightly. "Let's place our orders first, Angela."Angela responded, "Okay." Then, Tobias took her to the counter. Marie glanced at Solomon and Elio coldly. She said condescendingly, "You two are penniless bozos, and yet you want to have desserts together with Angela. Why don't you two take a look at who you are? What makes you think you deserve it?"Elio and Solom
Tobias and Lucy were completely drowned in the passionate kiss. It had been such a long time since they had been intimate. Now that it happened, they were both completely overwhelmed. Tobias kissed her eagerly. Then, he moved away from her lips and pecked her neck. He proceeded to kiss her collarbone and slip his hand underneath her shirt. Lucy snapped back to her senses and shoved him away. Then, she summarily slapped him and yelled at him angrily, "Pervert!"There was a slap mark on Tobias' stunning face. He snapped out of his trance and thought about the crazy stuff he did to Lucy. He was so shocked that he took two steps back. What was he doing? Tobias couldn't believe that he actually harassed a lady he met for the first time!All of his earlier actions were exactly what a pervert would do. He could very well be taken to the police department for investigation. Tobias looked at Lucy and found her extremely familiar. For the life of him, however, he couldn't recall where
