    Theodore blinked his eyes. "Ms. Cullen, aren't you going to check on Lucy?" he asked, even pointing at Lucy, who was standing behind her.Hearing this, Romy reined in her concern for Noah and turned to look at Lucy. She explained, "I'm sorry, Lucy. Mommy only went to comfort Noah first because he was bullied. Don't be sad. I still love you very much."She smiled as she cupped Lucy's face, planting a kiss on her cheek."It's okay, Mommy. I understand," Lucy answered with a smile, trusting Romy's words.…That night, at Lloyd Manor, Noah was still hung up on what Sebastian had said earlier in the day.He clearly had a mother, so why had Sebastian said otherwise?

    There was even a possibility that Augustine would not live to see Liam get married, and that had only made him more impatient.Liam forced a stiff smile. "Jacklyn isn't that easy to invite over now."Augustine sighed again, leaning on his cane as he headed upstairs. Watching his retreating figure, Liam's heart filled with mixed emotions.…The next day, Noah found himself surrounded and bullied by a few other kids on set."You're just a motherless bastard! Your maid is the one who brings you to set every day, so what right do you have to be the lead?" a child yelled sharply.The ringleader, Sebastian Alpern, was a slightly older boy, while the other two were around Noah's age.

    Each of Lydia's words was like needles, piercing into Penelope's heart. But she could only grit her teeth and endure them."I believe Gene has feelings for me, so I hope you'll stop being so prejudiced against me. I've always done everything you asked of me," Penelope said, lowering her head in a placating manner.But Lydia was unmoved by this. In fact, she wasn't buying anything Penelope was saying anymore. "Once a manipulator, always a manipulator. Since when does that earn you credit? Flattering me won't work here. Lloyd Manor is Eugene's."She knew Eugene well.

    "Let's not talk about him anymore, Mommy. You haven't seen Mr. Jarrett in a long time, have you? I'll go call him over right now!" Theodore said."Wait—""Mr. Jarrett! My mom's looking for you! Come quickly!" Theodore yelled loudly, not hearing Jacklyn's attempt at stopping him at all.Asher, with his sharp ears, heard the shout and came over within moments."Ms. Stinson, it's been a while," Asher said.He was still as bashful as ever in front of Jacklyn, but this time, even his ears slowly turned red. This immediately set off alarm bells in her mind."Yeah, it's been a while," she replied, her tone distant and cold, hoping that Asher would take the hint."Mommy, I told you last time that Mr. Jarrett has been taking really good care of me. And it's not because of you, Mommy. He genuinely likes me, and he's even taught me about acting."He blinked at Jacklyn, then added, "I think Mr. Jarrett can be my dad!"There it was again—Theodore's words were still as straightforward as th
