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 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

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

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

After lunch, Angela, Solomon, and Elio watched cartoons together at Pattinson Residence. After an afternoon nap, they played together. However, Solomon was much more aloof than Elio.While everyone was asleep, Elio went to sign up on Lucy's behalf.The person informed him, "Please be at the castle's kitchen tomorrow at 10:00 am.Elio said, "Sully, I secretly registered Mom's name, and they asked Mom to be there by 10:00 am. How can we persuade Mom to head to their kitchen for the competition?"Solomon scratched his chin and thought long and hard. "Lying won't work, so we must tell the truth."Elio said, "But Mom will never agree to go."Solomon nodded in agreement. His little brain spun with ideas as his eyes fell on Angela's toys. His lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Let's get her to persuade Mom."Confused, Angela pointed at her nose. "Me?"Solomon said, "Mom would never agree if Elio and I were to persuade her to attend the cooking competition, but you're different.
