Dante nodded and instructed for the food to be removed. Tobias emerged from the washroom and unintentionally glanced at the plate of potato fritters that had been cast aside. Images flashed through his mind so quickly that they were hard to grasp, causing his head to instantly throb.That plate of potato fritters gave him a sense of familiarity.When the household staff was about to remove it, Tobias said, "Wait."Dante inquired, "Do you want to try this, Prince Toddy?"Tobias nodded.Then, Dante asked someone to present the potato fritters before Tobias. Tobias took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and an image appeared in his mind."Darling, have you eaten dinner yet?""No.""Darling, I made potato fritters for you. Have some."The setting was heartwarming, and it looked like a couple's home. Tobias was the man in the setting. However, the woman's face was blurry. He could only hear her voice but couldn't see what she looked like.Dante carefully reminded him. "Prince Toddy?

Lucy never expected that Elio had submitted Pattinson Residence’s address and personal information when he registered her for the competition.Dante passed her information to Tobias. Tobias read the information, and an inexplicable emotion flickered in his eyes. He was dumbfounded and surprised. “Greta Everhart! I can’t believe it’s her! Yes, what a coincidence! Turns out she's the mother of Angela’s classmate.”Waves of emotions inexplicably swirled in Tobias’ heart. After realizing how similar Greta looked to Lucy, he decided not to see her anymore, never expecting fate to toy with him this way. Tobias regretted his recklessness this morning.He needed to cut ties with her. Tobias closed the file and coldly commented, “Since she is unwilling, forget it.”“Prince Toddy, your body…”Dante was distraught. Tobias couldn't consume food like a normal person, and even if he could live on liquid nutrition, he wouldn’t live long. “Continue to find a chef," came Tobias' instructio

The twins returned the greeting. "Angela."They saw their father appearing before them, their faces flushed pink. Solomon turned his face away to hide his shyness while Elio said, "Uncle Toddy."Tobias hummed in assent and touched their heads. That brief touch felt like an electric current, sending warmth through his lonely heart. He saw no signs of Lucy and looked at Noah but stopped himself from saying anything. An apologetic look lingered in his eyes.Angela noticed nothing unusual and said, "Tobe, can I play with them at their place?"Tobias said, "You might bother them."Elio said, "She won't be. We're about to get some stew. It's more fun to share the meal with more people."He tugged Noah's sleeve and whispered, "Noah, can they come with us?"Noah affectionately smiled, answering, "If you guys don't mind, please join us for dinner."Before Tobias could respond, Angela said, "We don't."Tobias felt helpless. He was putty in his sister's hands and had no choice but to c

Lucy felt terrible as she rejected Cindy’s invitation. She explained, “Madam Hubbard, you are King Samson's mother. I’m sure your banquet is only fit for the noble. I don’t think a commoner like me should be there.”Cindy commented, “Greta, I’m old. No one will be willing to talk to me in such a setting. I just want company. Sigh, if you don’t go with me, I will have to watch them alone at the banquet.”As she spoke, she looked troubled.Lucy gave in the moment Cindy played the pity card. “Still, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to go. Why don’t you ask King Samson to find you a more suitable partner?”Cindy insisted, “I don’t want anyone else but you.”She held Lucy's hand as she spoke and guided her into her room, prompting Lucy to ask in confusion, "Madam Hubbard, where are we going?"Cindy elaborated, "To my room to look at my gown collection."They arrived at the bedroom as they talked. Cindy's wardrobe held a regal and extravagant-looking gown. It was a classic low-cu

Noah and the children were enjoying their stew at Pattinson Residence. Tobias watched them on the side. Noah asked, "Mr. Toddy, why don't you join us?"Tobias smiled lightly and shook his head. "Carry on. You don't have to care for me."He glanced at the door and stopped himself from saying what was on his mind.Elio must have read his mind because he looked at the door, asking, "Why is Mom not back yet?"At that, Noah's phone rang.It was Lucy. Noah answered, "Greta, are you on your way home?"His tone was gentle. Upon hearing it, Tobias instinctively clenched his fist and he became inexplicably irritable.Lucy said, "Noah, Madam Hubbard invited me to a banquet she is attending tonight, and I agreed to accompany her. Please take care of the twins for me. I'll be back later tonight.""Don't worry," he replied. "I'll take good care of the twins. Have a good time."She expressed, "Okay, thank you."They ended the call. Tobias didn't hear Lucy's voice, but he could tell from N

Cindy held Tobias' hand in one hand and Lucy's in another. They walked into the banquet together.With Cindy acting as a matchmaker, Lucy held Tobias' hand. He didn't even realize that he was mesmerized by her. He felt his blood surge, his throat dry up, and his heart beat wildly as she inched closer.Lucy asked, "Prince Toddy, can I ask you a question?"Tobias suppressed his beating heart and said, "Sure."Lucy said, "Did you ask someone to hit Noah with a car at the kindergarten this morning?"Tobias didn't expect Lucy to ask this question so bluntly. His body stiffened.Lucy said, "Were you driving? Or was it someone else?"The expression on Tobias' face instantly changed.Lucy looked stern as she stared dead into Tobias' eyes, trying to determine if he was lying.Tobias lowered his gaze. He licked his lips guiltily and said hoarsely, "W-Why do you ask?"Lucy explained, "I remembered the car plate number of that car. After cooking dinner in the royal kitchen, I saw the c

Marie came forward and said, "Prince Toddy, you don't look well. Is your headache acting up again?"Tobias took a deep breath. He collected himself and said, "I'm fine."Marie smiled gently and said, "Prince Toddy, would you like to dance with me?"Tobias wasn't in the mood to dance after fighting with Lucy. When he was about to reject her, he saw a man approaching Lucy from the corner of his eye."Miss, may I have this dance?"Lucy was stunned. For some unknown reason, she glanced at Tobias and noticed him looking at her. His gaze was tense, burning with intensity. She said, "Okay."She placed her hand on him, and they entered the dance floor.Tobias' expression was taut with tension. He clenched his fists.Marie called for him again. "Prince Toddy?"Tobias held her hand and said, "Let's go."Tobias held Marie's hand for the first time, and her face was flushed pink.However, Tobias felt uncomfortable holding Marie's hand for the first time. He even wanted to shake her ha

Lucy only felt grateful toward Noah.She didn't love Noah, but he was the most important person to her. He was more than a friend. He was like a family.Lucy was about to answer. "I-"Before she could finish, the music abruptly stopped. Everyone stopped in their tracks.Lucy and Tobias stiffened their bodies.Applause erupted around them. They didn't know that their dance had become the highlight of the night, and everyone was gawking at them in admiration. In the distance, Marie was about to go wild from jealousy.She walked to them, held Tobias' arm, and said, "Prince Toddy, let's make a toast to Duchess Lemoine.”Tobias frowned. He instinctively looked at Marie, wanting to push her away. Lucy glanced at their intimate gesture. She appeared calm, but overwhelming emotions stirred in her heart. "Ms. Everhart, you've taken so much of Prince Toddy's time. It's time to give him back to me, don't you think?”Marie's tone was discreetly telling Lucy not to push her luck.Luc

Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia
The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 499
Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

"Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
