His clothes looked as good as new. He looked extremely handsome.
The woman placed the child into Tobias' arms and said, "Mr. Whitlock, hold your son well. Hurry up and find him a mom. Or he is really going to think that I'm his mother."
A trace of guilt appeared in Tobias' eyes as he looked at Lucy, "Lucy, I'm sorry."
Lucy smiled and said, "I'll take it as being unlucky. This must be something I owed you ever since we first met."
When Hayden was born, Cecilia still had intentions for Lucy and Tobias to be in a relationship.
At the same time, Lucy's family continued to put pressure on Lucy.
At first, Lucy had immense feelings for Tobias. He was after all a handsome man. Anyone would want to sleep with him.
But soon, Lucy realized that Tobias had no interest in her at all.
Or, it seemed like he had no interest in women at all.
Lucy came up with two conclusions.
Firstly, Tobias was actually into men.
Secondly, there was a woman whom Tobias loved deeply, yet they could not be together for various reasons.
No matter what the reason was, Lucy felt that since she was involved, she would never win his heart.
Lucy was a smart girl. She thought that she didn't want to be a substitute, she would try her best to do that.
However, Tobias was too handsome. Even though, Lucy really couldn't refuse Tobias' offer.
For example, their fake engagement.
She thought that would be the end of it, but both Cecilia's and Lucy's family was very persistent.
Lucy's family also forced her to go to the Whitlock family's residence when she had nothing to do.
Lucy could only go there every single day.
In the end, the relationship between her and Tobias did not get any better. Instead, Tobias' son started to have affections for her.
Lucy did not know much of Hayden's history either.
She guessed that since Tobias was into men,
Hayden could be a test-tube baby.
But no matter what, her heart still softened whenever the little boy's beautiful eyes were staring at her.
It was why Lucy treated Hayden as her godson.
Tobias brought Hayden back to Agaphen City thereafter. Lucy missed her godson very much, so she could not help but went to Agaphen City to visit him often.
She no longer had any interest in Tobias.
For the past four years, not a single woman was seen around Tobias.
No normal man could do such a thing. Lucy came to a conclusion that Tobias was gay.
Lucy was just a normal girl and she had no interest in gays.
The reason she came to the Agaphen City was to see her godson.
Lucy kissed him on his face and said, "My little Ashie, I have to leave. I'm going to the United States to meet some handsome guys. Take care of yourself."
Hayden's eyes immediately welled up in tears, "I don't want to part with mommy."
His miserable look was so pitiful that it could melt people's hearts.
Lucy suddenly felt guilty.
She wiped his tears, "I think I should really take my leave. If this goes on, I won't be willing to leave."
After that, she looked at Tobias and said, "Tobias, buy your son some soda."
Tobias frowned and said, "It is not good for a child to drink too much soda."
Lucy was speechless, "It's fine to drink it once in a while. Can't you see how sad Ashie is right now? His attention can only be diverted by drinking soda."
When Hayden heard the word 'soda', his eyes lit up.
Tobias felt a little helpless.
"Soda, soda." Hayden started saying it repeatedly.
Lucy looked at Tobias, "Hurry up and promise your son!"
Tobias cast a displeased glance at Lucy, but in the end, he compromised.
Hayden pointed at the restaurant, "There's soda inside."
While Tobias brought Hayden into the restaurant for a soda, Lucy quickly ran away.
She was afraid that Hayden would be sad seeing her leave.
