Joey chuckled awkwardly. "Are you guys done with dinner? The fruits and snacks are coming up next. "Have a seat and savor them." Joey didn't dare to pull any tricks in front of Tobias. She gave Mariam a look, who understood her intentions immediately. Mariam said, "That's right. Take a seat, guys. I'm going to prepare some fruit slices for everyone."Tobias and Cedric sat across from each other, while Lucy sat next to Tobias. As the three of them chatted, Joey pulled Mariam into the kitchen.She asked, "Why did you let Lucy bribe you, Mariam? Are you going to work with her and pick on me?"A mix of emotions washed over Mariam. She had no qualms with Lucy and had only targeted her to help out Joey. With that said, Mariam had grown fond of Lucy after receiving the gift from her. Naturally, she didn't have the heart to pick a bone with Lucy anymore.However, Mariam felt a little vexed now that Joey was questioning her. She pondered and said, "Relax, Joey. I have other ways to te

Back in Hudson Manor, Maya went to a secluded attic. It was her secret spot. She was the only one who knew everything that was placed there.She turned on the surveillance equipment and listened in on Brett's voice."You're such a cutie, kitty. You're male, too. Now, what name should I give you? You have white furs. How about Lulu? "Wait a minute. That's my younger sister's nickname. If she finds out about it, she's going to give me a hard time."Snowball isn't a good name, either. I'll name you Flash—after a character from Justice League. You're going to be the coolest kitten of all time."Maya could hear the sound of something rubbing together and savored it with infatuation. She listened to it and imagined that she was the white kitten and that Brett was touching her affectionately. All of a sudden, her phone rang, disrupting her fantasy.A mix of iciness and impatience flashed in her eyes. She checked her phone, and a hint of fear appeared on her face. "Hi, Dad.""Where t

"Here, Lucy. Have a bite of the fruit slice I prepared for you." Joey grinned from ear to ear. She stabbed a grape with a fork and held it up to Lucy's lips. Lucy's lips twitched in response. She couldn't get used to Joey's enthusiasm. Although the grape was right at her lips, she knew it was a trap. "I appreciate it, Mom, but I'm not going to eat it."Joey said, "Take a bite. I cut them up myself. Not even Tobe gets such treatment from me."Upon hearing that, Lucy cast a glance at Tobias. It just so happened that he was also looking her way. Their gazes met unexpectedly, and they could sense the undying loyalty in each other's eyes. They exchanged a smile when they locked their eyes with each other, both brimming with sweetness and deep affection.Joey followed Lucy's line of sight and realized that Tobias and Lucy were gazing affectionately into each other's eyes. She was so mad that she gnashed her teeth. She repressed the sense of repulsion in her heart and shoved the gr

Lucy chuckled and said, "I'm not that fragile, Tobias. My hands won't suffer any long-term damage as long as I do the physiotherapy properly in the future."Tobias couldn't do anything about her; there was no way he could win against her in arguments. He said, "I just don't know what to do with you. From here on out, let me give you a hand with everything. Here, I'll carry you and wash you up."How could Lucy possibly let Tobias wipe her bottom for her? It was awkward, no matter how she thought about it.Firstly, she didn't want Joey's wicked plans to succeed. Also, she didn't want to show her embarrassing side to Tobias. That was why she would never let Joey have her way, come hell or high water.Lucy's face was red. She said, "I can handle it myself, Tobias."Tobias stared at her, his eyes gleaming dangerously. "We're a married couple now. Why are you this shy around me?"Lucy blushed. She couldn't even muster up the courage to look at him. "Um… You're so busy. I'm worried

Sienna heard Lucy's voice and became nervous immediately. She asked, "Lucy?"Sienna followed Lucy's voice and came to the bathroom. She opened the door and found that Lucy had slipped and fallen to the floor in a pitiful manner.She immediately hurried over to help Lucy. However, the floor was slippery, so she almost fell in her rush. Lucy's heart jumped to her throat. "Watch out, Sienna!""Slow down, miss!"At the next moment, Walter caught Sienna swiftly. Lucy let out a sigh of relief, while Sienna was still reeling from the fear of her near-fall. If she had slipped and fallen, she probably would have lost her baby."Thank you."Sienna thanked Walter and went over to help Lucy immediately. Noticing that Sienna was pregnant, he moved ahead and helped Lucy to her feet first. Walter asked in confusion, "How did you fall, Mrs. Ripley? Where's Mr. Ripley? Why aren't any of your maids serving you?"Lucy said, "According to Tobias, the maids who usually serve me took the day off
