Angela was so mad that she burst into tears. Solomon said, "Tsk. It's no joke, dealing with girls!"Tobias witnessed the moment and burst out laughing. Solomon carried a subtle vibe of a domineering CEO. It amused him so much that he couldn't hold back his laughter.Solomon looked at Tobias and blushed. "What are you laughing at?"Tobias said gently, "You're a boy, Sully. You need to learn how to be modest in front of girls. You just tried to reason with a girl. Are you trying to remain single when you're all grown up?"Solomon asked, "So, are you telling me I have to have a girlfriend who couldn't be reasoned with? Why don't I just enjoy my single and carefree life, then?"Tobias was stunned. "Uh…"Lucy held her forehead. "What did you just say to him, Mr. Toddy? You've just taught him the wrong thing."Tobias spread his arms and said helplessly, "I just told him the truth." Some chess pieces rolled by his feet, and he bent down to pick it up. At the same time, some chess pie
Elio had saved Lucy from the situation by speaking. She ran away desperately and said, "Good work, Eli. I'll serve the dishes. I want you to call Sully and Angela down for the meal."Tobias watched Lucy's retreating figure. He didn't notice his gaze was filled with love. …There were more than ten dishes on the dining table including common dishes as well as dishes with a unique flavor. They all consisted of mainly Clusian dishes. They looked appetizing and smelled delicious. Looking at the dishes was enough to whet one's appetite.No one would've believed that a child cooked these. Tobias looked at the delicious dishes and asked in a surprised tone, "Did you actually make all of these by yourself, Eli?"Elio exclaimed proudly, "Why, of course. I'll bet you find it awesome. Hurry up and praise me." Tobias was amazed. He rubbed Elio's head before speaking gently and lovingly, "You're wonderful, Eli. Men who know how to cook will effortlessly land a girlfriend in the future."
Lucy came to the dining hall and saw that Solomon, Elio, and Angela were already in their seats. Tobias was getting settled into his. Lucy yelped out of surprise, saying, "You should take this seat, Mr. Toddy." Tobias was stunned a little before he went over to the chair she pointed to and took his seat. She proceeded to sit across the table from him, with Solomon and Elio on her side. Angela sat next to Tobias. Lucy said, "Make yourselves at home. Eat anything you like."Angela sniffed the sweet aroma of the dishes and said eagerly, "Don't mind if I do, Aunt Greta." She helped herself with one of the dishes and savored its taste. "Mmm… The dishes you made are so delicious, Eli. Not even the royal chefs' cooking comes close."Elio lifted his chin proudly and said, "That goes without saying."Lucy looked at Tobias and found that he was looking at the twins with nothing but love. He hadn't touched his knife and fork. So, she asked in a confused tone, "Why aren't you eating, Mr
Lucy looked at the countless needle marks on Tobias' arm, and she actually felt particularly disheartened and heartbroken. However, why would she have these feelings for Tobias? They had just met each other twice, but she was actually drawn to him each time he showed up and approached her.Lucy suddenly had a crazy thought. Was it possible that she fell in love with Tobias?Her eyes widened in disbelief. At the same time, Tobias' phone rang. He put down the syringe and answered the call, "Hello.""The employees from Clusia are almost touching down at the airport, Prince Toddy. We have to welcome them in person to show that we are sincere in the international collaboration. Also, they are arriving in an hour. Where are you now, Prince Toddy?"Tobias responded, "Got it. Head to the airport, guys. I'll be there in half an hour."Lucy said, "Do you have some matters you need to attend to?"Tobias nodded. "Yeah." He walked over to the dining hall as he spoke.He saw Angela tucking
It was also coincidental that the news was being broadcast when Solomon, Elio, and Lucy turned on the television."Hi, everyone. The royalty has released a bounty notice. Prince Toddy has anorexia and hasn't been eating for a long time. It doesn't matter what kind of chef you are, as long as you can cook some dishes that won't make His Highness throw up."This is your chance to become a royal chef with a million-dollar income annually. Please contact this number if you want to register for…""Prince Toddy?" Elio stared at the television screen and asked in a confused tone, "How is it that he shares the same name with Uncle Toddy? Is it a coincidence?"Solomon chimed in, "What's weird is that the prince had anorexia as well. What are the odds?" Lucy also walked over and just happened to see the news. Angela asked, "Don't you all know that my brother is King Samson's only son—Toddy? And I'm Princess Angela."Solomon and Elio's jaw dropped, and the disbelief on their faces was un
Finn continued to sob. Not only did he not get away from Tobias, but he held the latter and cried even louder. "That's heartless of you, Mr. Ripley. I've worked for you for more than ten years. Now that we've been apart for six years, you don't even miss me. What's worse, you're actually chasing me away!"Tobias felt an intense headache while Finn cried so much that snots trickled out of his nose. When Finn rubbed his nose against Tobias' expensive suit, he was more livid as he was a neat freak.Tobias grumbled, "This is irritating. Get him away from me now."Then, everyone came to their senses and pulled Finn away. When Finn sprinted at Tobias and hugged him, the royal guards around him were ready to react and hack Finn down right there and then. Fortunately, Tobias immediately waved and stopped them. Otherwise, Finn wouldn't have had the chance to be doing these things here. Instead, he would've been long dead.Finn wasn't aware of the political figures standing around Tobias
Avery coughed tacitly and nudged him with his elbow. Finn wanted to ask whether Tobias had located Lucy but remembered that she was presumed dead in Clusia. Back then, Lucy created many Zenith Elixirs and saved many families. She had become the idol of the town. Lucy’s death had brought tremendous pain to everyone. Everyone presented flowers at the location where Lucy lost her life. Tobias had also entered a new routine in life. If they brought up her name, it would indeed bother him. Finn swallowed the words he had at the tip of his tongue. He laughed awkwardly and explained, “Nothing. Are you adjusting to life in Faldoria?”Tobias, oblivious to Finn’s reservations, answered, “Yeah, it’s alright.”Embarrassment flickered across Finn’s face. He looked at Avery, and they silently sighed in relief. Tobias glanced at him and thought they were acting strange. However, he didn’t think much about it. When the car arrived at the castle gate, Finn and Avery were completely take
Finn didn’t dare to lie to him, so he said, “Tobias. Mrs. Ripley is your wife, but she passed away from an accident. I was worried it would upset you, so I chose not to mention her.”“Passed away?”Tobias had no recollection of Lucy, but for some unknown reason, a prickling pain lingered in his heart when he heard that Lucy had passed away.Finn patted his shoulder and comforted, "Tobias, you have a new life now. Don't get bogged down by the past anymore. We can't bring back the dead. We can only move on with our lives."Tobias frowned and asked, "What is her name?"Finn said, "Lucy Everhart."When Tobias heard the name, a wave of emotions swirled in his heart. He thought he must have loved her a lot in the past. Otherwise, he couldn't explain his overwhelming emotions when he heard her name.Tobias asked, "Can I look at a photo of her?"Finn and Avery looked at each other, worry enveloping their faces.Tobias said, "Don't worry. I won't get upset looking at the photos."Finn
