Lucy's red dress perfectly accentuated her jaw-dropping figure. Now, with the Heart of Many Wonders around her neck, she looked even more alluring.She gently grazed the necklace with her fingertips; she had butterflies in her stomach from Tobias' gentle display of affection.She felt warm and sweet, as though she had been slathered with honey. "Are you giving me this 100-million-dollar necklace?"She quirked her eyebrow and intentionally asked , "Don't you feel the pinch?"Tobias grinned deviously. "I do feel it slightly. Why don't you make it up to me?"Intrigued, Lucy said, "How should I make it up to you?"Tobias leaned in, his warm breath tickling her ear. "You'll know how to do it when we return home tonight." He suggestively whispered in public, instantly teasing Lucy, whose face turned scarlet. She playfully glared at him. "How could you say something so suggestive in front of everyone? Are you trying to give the crowd a heart attack?"Tobias shrugged. "I said it so so

Lucy and Tobias' fiery, passionate kiss continued as if it would never end.Their bodies intertwined, and they felt the warmth of each other's bodies. The atmosphere in the car slowly heated up. Lucy glided her hand along Tobias' body. Suddenly, Tobias grabbed her mischievous hand. His eyes darkened, and his voice was gruff and sexy. "Not here."The car was parked in the designated lot at the venue. The event had ended, and many people would pass them by. He didn't want anyone else to sneak a peek at his wife's beauty."Hold it in until we get home, okay?"Lucy's face was flushed. "Okay."Tobias sped on the road.Howard couldn't sleep that night and was getting fresh air on the balcony. He heard Tobias' car screech as it stopped at the entrance. The car had been speeding so much that sparks flew from the friction between the wheels and the road.Howard nagged. "That rascal, Tobias. He is in his 30s, yet he acts so recklessly. Does he think he's competing in Formula One?"Then

The next day, sunlight shone through the window and cast its rays into the cozy bedroom. The first thing Tobias saw when he woke up was a delicate face. He thought back to the romantic and crazy night and still felt the lingering sweetness in his heart. His lips curled into a grin, and he planted a kiss on Lucy's face. "I love you, babe."Everyone said that Lucy was the luckiest woman in the world for being married to Tobias. However, none of them knew that he thought differently. As far as he was concerned, he was the luckiest and happiest man to be able to marry Lucy. Lucy rolled to the side and opened her eyes slowly. She saw Tobias staring at her. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Morning, darling.""Rise and shine." Tobias' eyes sparkled. "Just now, you…""Don't you have an important meeting later on, darling? Get up and get ready for it.""Oh…" It looked like Lucy hadn't heard his confession of love once again. A hint of disappointment flashed in

Lucy watched Tobias until he finished his lunch. Then, she rose and said, "I'll let you get back to your work, darling. I'm going home now."Tobias held her hand and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. There's a private lounge behind the office. Take some rest there. We'll go home together once I'm finished with my work. Hmm?"Lucy pondered on it for a while and responded, "That works. I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, after all. I'll wait for you back there."Tobias nodded. He led Lucy through a secret door, which was hidden behind the bookshelf in the office. The private lounge wasn't that big, but it had everything anyone needed. "Wow. What a cozy place. It's almost as big as a luxurious house that comes with one bedroom and a living room.""Yeah. It's quiet here. Perfect for a nap."Tobias liked quiet. No one would disturb him if he was taking a break here.Lucy said, "Alright, then. I'm going to take a nap. Go ahead and work."She knew Tobias was a busy

Lucy was reading the document in the office. She found some big issues in it. The file had information on two investment projects in Amestria. Someone who went by the name Klaus withdrew his investment halfway through the project. His business partner's company couldn't operate normally and eventually went bankrupt.The file showed that there was a high possibility that Klaus was Joaquin himself.Lucy was shocked. She was about to tell Tobias about it when her phone rang."Hello. Oh, it's you, Finn. What's the matter?""Mr. Ripley had a car accident, Mrs. Ripley…""What?"Lucy was so stunned that she shot to her feet. "How did he get into a car accident? Where's he? How badly injured is he?""Relax, Mrs. Ripley. Mr. Ripley is receiving treatment at the hospital as we speak. He was just lightly injured. I'm sending you the location now."Lucy let out a sigh of relief when she heard that Tobias had merely suffered a minor injury. She drove to the hospital based on the location
