Amelia had no idea that Lewis was injured. She had come to the Royal Estate today because she hadn't seen him yesterday. Before she came, Perona had told her to be reserved as a girl and not to be too proactive. Now it was only Isabella who had expressed her opinion, and Lewis hadn't said anything himself, so they couldn't be too proactive. However, Amelia didn't care. She went to the Royal Estate early in the morning. At the Royal Estate. Lewis was in a great mood today. During Leo's report, no matter what happened at the company, Lewis's expression didn't change much. After Leo finished his report, Lewis calmly drank his tea and said, "I won't go to the company this month, and I'll push back all social events and meetings. All projects should continue as usual. There's no need to report if there's nothing important." Hearing this, Leo was shocked. Was Lewis taking a break? As a workaholic who never took a day off, he was actually taking a break on his own initi
Amelia felt humiliated. She was a wealthy young lady and the sole heir to Meike Group. There were so many people pursuing her, but Lewis didn't even look at her. From the perspective of the wealth and strength of both families, they were a perfect match. Amelia didn't even glance at the other suitors. In her heart, only someone of Lewis's level could match her. Meike Group. After receiving her daughter's call, Perona was also surprised: "How could that be? Lewis shouldn't be so impolite. Maybe he's busy. Amelia, I've told you before, don't be too proactive. Let Mom handle the engagement. Why did you go to the Royal Estate?" "Anyway, I've been kicked out now," Amelia said, both angry and worried. "Next week is my birthday, and I've already spread the word that Lewis will come to my birthday party. What if he doesn't come? Won't I lose face? My friends will laugh at me." Perona reassured her: "Your birthday party, Lewis will definitely come. Today, his mother person
Louis was stunned: "Boss, you and Judy had a one-night stand? I didn't see that coming." Louis was so surprised that he stood up, then he remembered something and said, "I remember saying that Judy must have been taken advantage of by some scumbag. Turns out it was you?" Scumbag? Lewis shot Louis a glare. Louis laughed awkwardly: "I misspoke, I misspoke. Boss, you're amazing. I thought it would take a long time for you to pursue her, but it turns out you two have already shared a bed." "Watch your mouth," Lewis warned him. "Especially in the old house. I promised Judy not to announce it for now." "Boss, are you and Judy having a secret relationship?" Louis asked curiously. "Did she come up with the idea? That doesn't make sense. Being the girlfriend of the person in charge of Caler Group should be something to announce to the world. Having a secret relationship is too insecure." If it were anyone else, they would want the whole world to know. If it weren't announc
Louis had a lot of opinions about Amelia. He didn't want to go to the birthday party in the first place, but since he heard Lewis was going, he thought he might as well go and join in the fun. Now he had changed his mind. Lewis took a puff of his cigarette and said, "If you don't want to go, don't drag me into it." "Boss, I have to find an excuse," Louis smiled and said. "Oh, by the way, did you have an engagement with her?" "That was the previous generation's thing. What era are we in now?" Lewis casually flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "I never said I would marry Amelia." "Even if I were you, I wouldn't marry her," Louis said. "I guess she wouldn't dare to mention the engagement between the two families again." "Perona brought it up not long ago," Lewis said. "She has that idea." "Marrying Amelia to you?" Louis was anxious: "Boss, you have to deal with this quickly, or she'll cling to you." Lewis slightly raised his thin lips: "When my grandmo
Judy usually cooks at home too, as long as she doesn't have to work overtime. It's nutritious and cost-effective. Lewis leaned against the kitchen sliding door frame, watching her cook. Suddenly, he realized what happiness felt like. In this small house, there was her, there was the smell of home cooking, and they were just an ordinary couple. Judy noticed Lewis approaching and said while cooking, "Go outside first, it's smoky in here." "I'll just watch you," Lewis said, his gaze seemingly stuck on Judy. Judy felt a bit uncomfortable. She was already shy, and Lewis suddenly said, "Judy, you look very pretty." Judy: "..." Her face grew even hotter. "I remember you used to say I looked provincial and refreshing. How come you think I look pretty now?" This was just Judy teasing Lewis and joking with him. Unexpectedly, Lewis replied very sincerely, "I must have been blind back then." Judy laughed and looked back at him, "Lewis, I'm not quite used to this. I ki
The words "granddaughter-in-law" made Judy's heart race, and she quickly turned away, unable to look at Lewis directly. They had just started dating, so how come it was progressing so fast? Lewis noticed Judy's reaction and couldn't help but smile. He finished the call with the elderly woman and said, "Grandma, it's getting late. You should get some rest." "Okay, okay," the grandmother replied happily, "You mustn't deceive me this time." After hanging up the phone, the grandmother told Isabella, who was beside her, "My grandson said he would bring his granddaughter-in-law home. It seems like everything is going well." Isabella was too afraid to ask Lewis directly, so she had the grandmother ask about their plans. Upon hearing that Lewis had marriage plans, Isabella was overjoyed and said, "Then it seems like there really isn't a problem. I'll start preparing. Who knows, maybe Lewis will propose to Amelia on her birthday next week. We must start preparing in advance.
One sentence contained a lot of information. It was full of pride. Louis felt like he had been fed dog food: "Boss, do you have to be like this? Are you trying to make me jealous?" Ever since Lewis got together with Judy, Louis felt like he had a newfound understanding of Lewis. The old Lewis would never act like this. Even though he was worth billions and had countless women who wanted to climb into his bed, Lewis only had eyes for Judy. He couldn't persuade Judy to move to the Royal Estate, so he happily moved in with her. Lewis's voice was filled with amusement: "The happiness of having a girlfriend is something single people like you wouldn't understand." "Boss, I'm just single for now." Louis joked. "I just wanted to ask how your injury is. Are you sure it's okay to be living at Judy's place? What if you have some... intense activities? Won't that be bad for your recovery?" Mentioning this made Lewis want to hit Philip again. Due to his injury, he had to
The saleswoman smiled and said, "The gentleman just now bought a 'Lucky Love' necklace as a birthday gift for his girlfriend, who celebrates her birthday tomorrow." Hearing this, Amelia's face lit up with happiness, and her friend's face was also full of jealousy. "Amelia, I told you. Lewis is buying it for you. Your birthday is tomorrow, and he's probably preparing a surprise for you." Amelia blushed and said, "I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful." She then asked the saleswoman, "What does the necklace look like?" "This one," the saleswoman said, pointing to the necklace on display. "Miss, you're so lucky to have such a handsome and thoughtful boyfriend. The gentleman even wrote a card. I think it's probably a love confession." Amelia's expectations grew even more when she heard the saleswoman's words. She looked at the necklace, even though it wasn't very expensive or fancy, it was worth showing off because it was from Lewis. Knowing that Lewis was going to gi
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
