Judy composed herself as the waiter brought the coffee. She picked up the cup to take a sip to calm down but almost couldn't steady it because it was too hot.Judy wrinkled her brow in pain as she was scalded. She put the coffee back down with a forced calm and raised a smile, saying, "Putting a price on it would break the rules. We're young, and it's consensual fun. Who would take it seriously? If money is involved, then there's no sense of righteousness. Besides, you might accuse me of extortion later, and that would be so unjust."Isabella was taken aback. She thought Judy would say that she was truly in love with her son and use the opportunity to raise the price or just take the money and leave.But Judy said it was just for fun.Isabella became angry immediately: "You're just playing with my son? How shameless and unprincipled today's girls are. I must let my son know the true face of this woman."Judy laughed: "You have double standards. You allow men to play with women, but wo
Judy was taken to the police station for questioning, where she learned what had happened to Amelia.After Judy left the company, Amelia went out for a drive and encountered brake failure, resulting in minor injuries.Amelia's car was sent for inspection and it was determined that the brakes had been tampered with. Amelia immediately accused Judy of being the culprit.As a suspect, the police naturally investigated Judy.In the hospital.Amelia had a fractured leg and needed to be hospitalized.After her wound was treated, Amelia called the police, and Perona rushed to the hospital after hearing about her daughter's accident.Seeing Amelia's leg in a cast, Perona was heartbroken: "Amelia, how did you get hurt like this? Are there any other injuries? Let Mom have a look, you scared me to death."Perona couldn't bear the pain of losing her daughter again."Mom, I almost couldn't see you anymore." Amelia was terrified and held Perona's hand, crying: "Judy is so vicious. I fired her, and
Upon hearing this, Lewis immediately changed his expression, his cold and sharp gaze turning into a freezing knife as he looked at Louis."Louis." Lewis's tone was cold: "Did you deliberately harm me?"Lewis had promised Judy to keep their relationship private, and his biggest fear was his mother's interference.From his understanding of his mother, he knew exactly what she would do.Louis shivered with fear: "Boss, it's all my fault. I just slipped up and fell into your mom's trap. I'm here to apologize to you."Lewis exuded a cold aura: "How many hours ago did my mom come to see you?"Louis didn't dare to look Lewis in the eye: "About three or four hours ago."Knowing his mother's nature, she wouldn't waste a minute and would definitely go straight to Judy.Lewis quickly took out his phone to call Judy, but it was turned off and no one answered.Judy's phone had been temporarily confiscated after she was taken to the police station, so she couldn't receive the call.Lewis then calle
Lewis drove to find Judy, and Louis, after recovering his senses, followed him.The trouble was caused by him, so he had to go and check it out.Louis didn't dare to ask directly about why Serina left back then, but this matter must be related to Isabella....Judy was in the police station, and she had never thought she would end up in such a place in her life.At this moment, Judy felt helpless. As long as one does not touch the darkness, the world is bright. But when one encounters someone too formidable, one can definitely taste what despair and darkness are.Judy leaned against the cold wall, gazing up at the small window overhead.It seemed that the rain outside was getting heavier, and the sky was gradually darkening.Judy crouched in the corner, hugging her knees, with Isabella's words echoing in her mind.She didn't know how long had passed when she heard a sound of urgent footsteps, followed by the iron door being opened. When she looked up, she saw Lewis walking towards her
Judy leaned back in her seat and looked at him out of the corner of her eye, saying, "I've met her. She mistook me for Amelia and praised her grandson in front of me, wanting to introduce him to me."Judy blushed and Lewis meant... was he thinking about their future?Judy looked at him in disbelief, her expression a mix of shock.Lewis smiled brightly: "Stunned? What, do you really just want to play around?"Judy turned her head away guiltily. That's what she told Isabella.He knew everything."I... I was just saying that to your mom." Judy's voice weakened with guilt: "I think I offended your mom quite a bit today."Lewis said, "You're living with me, you don't need to worry about my mom."As the traffic light turned red, Lewis suddenly turned the car and parked by the roadside. He turned to look at Judy, his gaze warm and determined: "Tomorrow is Thursday, let's go get married."Lewis's words were more shocking than the sudden turn of the car. Judy couldn't keep up with this leap in
Lewis quietly kissed Judy's lips and whispered, "Trust me with the rest of your life."Judy stirred in her sleep, turned over, and continued to sleep.Lewis smiled and held her in his arms to continue sleeping.He would be happy to wake up to her every day.The next day.Lewis woke up, got out of bed, washed up, shaved, trimmed his eyebrows, and fixed his hair.On such an important day as getting married, he couldn't be too sloppy.Judy was still asleep on the bed. Suddenly realizing that they were going to get married today, her sleepiness vanished.Hearing him washing up in the bathroom, Judy pretended to sleep, in case he really forgot about getting married and it was just a spur of the moment.She continued to pretend to sleep, so it wouldn't be so awkward.Judy thought that if Lewis went to work after washing up, she would act as if last night's matter never happened.As she was thinking, the back suddenly collapsed, and Lewis got on the bed. He whispered in her ear, "Get up."Ju
Upon seeing the marriage certificate, Isabella almost collapsed.She had just insulted Judy yesterday morning, and now her son had married her.Isabella immediately felt her blood pressure rise, and her voice became shrill: "Lewis, are you crazy? How could you marry such a woman? Marriage is not a game. How could you just casually get married without even informing us, your parents?"Isabella's loud voice and emotional outburst made a lot of noise, which Antonio heard from the garden outside.Antonio rushed into the living room, looking puzzled: "What's going on? Why are you arguing again? Why can't you two get along? Isabella, what did you do this time?"Isabella, pointing accusingly at Lewis, said angrily: "Your son got married."Antonio was shocked to hear the news of Lewis's marriage, then excited: "Son, you got married? Where's your daughter-in-law? Why didn't you bring her back? This is a good thing, son, you're married."Antonio was quite happy. He had been worried that his son
Upon hearing this, Isabella was hearing it for the first time.Antonio had a relationship with Perona?That meant her efforts to match her son with Perona's daughter were a joke.Since the subject had been brought up, Antonio confessed: "The engagement was for me to marry Perona, but she didn't like me back then. She had someone she liked.""Did she look down on you? If she had liked you, would you have married her back then?" Isabella pursued the matter: "Do you like Perona?"Women are naturally sensitive about such things and will ask to the end.Antonio was caught off guard by her intensity and felt a little guilty: "No, it was arranged by our parents, but it didn't work out in the end. It's been decades, ancient history. What I mean is, our son doesn't have to marry Perona's daughter. I have a few nephews who can fulfill the engagement.""How can we let them have the advantage." Isabella immediately opposed: "If they marry Amelia, wouldn't they have the guts to compete with our so
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
