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
It was night, and Tobias woke up in a ward at the Royal Hospital. The surroundings looked familiar, but it only annoyed him. It was commonplace for Tobias to go to hospital wards for the past years. He'd either feel dizzy or pass out from hunger, and he'd wake up in this particular ward every time, which was prepared exclusively for him. An IV drip was hooked to his hand. Tobias stared at the ceiling and spaced out. He thought about the crazy stuff he did at the pâtisserie's restroom, and he still couldn't understand what happened. It was so shocking that it made Tobias doubt his entire life. He was a prince. How did he turn into a pervert? Was it possible that it was love at first sight?Tobias realized this possibility, and his heart started pounding like crazy. However, his pride and his conscience told him that he was royalty. He couldn't fall in love with a "middle-aged lady" at first sight.Tobias was in the middle of his thoughts when he heard a voice. "Tobe."The door
Tobias was deeply troubled when he heard the news. He sat upright immediately. "What happened?""Take a look at this, Prince Toddy."Tobias took the laptop and read the news. The pictures were photoshopped, and the content roughly depicted him as a playboy. It claimed that Tobias slept with various women every day and forced them to jump off the building for the sake of love. There were more similar claims in the post.Tobias said, "Reporters rarely published my pictures. Did you guys manage to find out who's slandering me on purpose?""Our men are still working on it." Tobias narrowed his eyes. The perpetrator had hidden himself very well in order to slander him. Tobias mulled it over and murmured, "Could it be our rivals from the royal factional conflict?""That is entirely possible, Prince Toddy. Our men are looking into it as we speak. We couldn't suppress the trending topics that defamed you, though. You'll have to deal with it personally."Tobias nodded. His hand was
" Understood." Dante left. It was the middle of the night, and Tobias was alone in his ward. After he took a sleeping pill, he managed to sleep for two hours when it was close to dawn. When he woke up the next day, there were noticeable dark circles under his eyes. Then, Tobias' phone rang. It was Angela. "Hello.""Are you feeling better, Tobe? I can ask Marie to come to the kindergarten if you can't make it today.""I made you a promise, and I don't intend to break it. Wait for me. I'll take you to kindergarten.""You're the best, Tobe."Tobias drove to the kindergarten with Marie and Angela in the backseat. He parked the luxurious car nearby, and both of them held Angela's hands before they headed to kindergarten. Tobias dressed casually today. The usual sternness and aloofness he demonstrated during work were replaced with a more cheerful energy. It was a refreshing look that made him more approachable. At the same time, Noah and Lucy led Solomon and Elio to the kinderg
