Lewis's penetrating gaze was fixed on her, and as he took a step forward, Judy instinctively retreated until her back was against the door, with nowhere else to go.

His hands tucked in his coat pockets, a teasing smile played at the corners of his lips, "Are you sure you want to hear my explanation here?"

Judy detected a strong undertone of threat in his words.

Swallowing hard, Judy fished out her keys, thinking that Lewis, as a prominent figure, wouldn't really harm her, and thus she gathered the courage to unlock the door.

Lewis entered, scanning the small rental unit. His first impression was its size—it was tiny.

The apartment was less than twenty square meters, without a separate bedroom; the bed and dining area shared the same space along with a very simple small kitchen.

Despite its size, the apartment was clean and tidy, with a faint pleasant scent lingering in the air.

Seeing Lewis surveying the place made Judy a bit embarrassed. Given how small the apartment was, Lewis

    Judy was slightly shocked inside. Why was Lewis here so late in such a cramped room? His deep-set eyes were fixated on her, waiting for an answer.Sitting on the edge of the bed, the only place left since Lewis had taken the sofa, Judy avoided Lewis's gaze. The atmosphere inside felt odd, her heart chaotic.Lewis's intent was clear; he desired her. It was a declaration laced with flirtation yet not off-putting. Who could resist such a confession from a billionaire CEO?"It can't be," Judy thought, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "Sir, you and I are from different worlds. If there's no future, there's no point in starting. You can afford to play, but I can't. I just want to live an ordinary life."In Judy’s view, Lewis was merely playing under the guise of having a girlfriend. Even if she never got married, she couldn't be with a man who'd been with Susan. That was a moral line she couldn’t cross."You’ve never tried, how do you know there won’t be an outcome?" Lewis stood up,

    The bed board snapped from the middle; it was a second-hand bed that, while sufficient to support one person, couldn't quite bear the 'pressure' of two.Lewis examined it and said, "Looks like it needs to be replaced. I'll have a new bed sent over tomorrow. For tonight, we'll just have to make do, or you could come back to the royal manor with me.""Wait a second," Judy gathered her thoughts, "Sir, this is my home. You and I, we have no relationship. There’s no need for you to send a bed over, and I'm not going back to the royal manor with you, let alone become your girlfriend."She needed to make things clear.Judy was straightforward, expecting Lewis to be angered. Instead, he looked at the broken bed as if he hadn’t heard her and said, "I'll have someone send over a bed now."Judy was almost at her wits' end. Could Lewis not understand human speech?Yet, she didn't dare to say that outright."Sir, you are a billionaire, the CEO of Caler Group. You wouldn’t stoop so low as to impose

    Just like that, Susan disappeared, leaving Judy and John somewhat panicked.Judy was scared, terrified that something had happened to Susan. She removed Susan from the blacklist and sent her a message. However, the system indicated they were not friends, revealing that Susan had also blacklisted her. Judy tried various means to find out Susan’s whereabouts, but to no avail.The next day, Judy headed to work as usual. As she stepped out of the building's elevator, she saw workers carrying a bed inside, and behind them was Lewis. Judy was astonished; Lewis had indeed sent a bed over.Lewis approached her, "Let's go upstairs, let the workers bring the bed up.""Sir," Judy was somewhat impressed, yet baffled, "What exactly are you trying to do?"Lewis replied, "It seems my expression last night wasn’t clear enough. Do I need to explain again?"Judy instantly thought of the kiss that broke the bed the night before, understanding his implication, and subconsciously covered her mouth.Lewis

    After Amelia left, Judy breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for not being recognized."Judy," Perona, while reviewing the project plan, asked, "Do you have any other opinions on this project? The board is not very supportive of continuing with this initiative. How do you think we could convince them?"Caught off guard by Perona's question, Judy quickly composed herself and responded, "Chairman, I don't think we need to convince the board by talking. Presenting facts will be more persuasive."Perona smiled, her eyes reflecting approval. She had always been decisive in her younger days and appreciated straightforwardness over boardroom politics. Like Judy, she preferred to base discussions on facts rather than opinions."Judy, how have you been adjusting since you joined the company?" Perona casually inquired.Embracing flattery, Judy replied, "Being at Meike Group feels like coming home."What did 'home' mean? Comfort, a sense of belonging, a place where the heart resides. Implicitly,

    Susan's words pierced Judy like countless needles to the heart. "Is this how you see me?" Judy asked in shock. "Susan, we've grown up together from the orphanage, over twenty years of friendship, and you're accusing me of competing with you for a man?" Susan's accusations enraged Judy, making her want to physically shake Susan awake. "You're still pretending," Susan scoffed. "Judy, you're just using me as a backdrop to highlight your nobility. Without my plainness, how could your grace shine? Did you sleep with Lewis? Did you badmouth me in front of John? You play one role to my face and another behind my back. I won't trust you again." Thus, Susan deflected the blame, knowing about Lewis and Judy's one-night affair, and had herself masqueraded as Judy to enter the royal manor, yet boldly accused Judy of stealing her man. She wanted to make Judy suffer, unable to bear seeing her happy. If Lewis didn't want her, she'd at least leave Judy with a thorn in her heart. Understanding Judy

    Susan embraced Judy tightly, deliberately sobbing in distress, "Judy, I'm sorry, I don't want to be the bad guy, but I really can't bear it. You're my best friend, could you please not be with Lewis?"The phrase "best friend" felt like a massive shackle, binding Judy securely."Alright, I promise, I promise," Judy’s eyes also became misty. She felt she owed Susan for causing her so much distress.To assure Susan, Judy forced a smile, "There are so many men in the world, not just Lewis. No one is more important to me than you, our friendship from growing up together is incomparable."Susan was a few months younger than Judy, who always doted on Susan like an older sister.She saw Susan as her sister; having relied on each other in this city for over twenty years, of course, she would choose Susan."Judy, you're so kind." Susan sniffed, wiping away her tears. Though her words were gracious, her heart told a different story.A friendship marred by cracks could never fully heal.In Susan'

    Lewis didn't leave.Seeing Lewis inside the door, Judy was astonished and experienced a mix of emotions, even feeling a bit guilty. She had just promised Susan not to have any relationship with Lewis, yet here he was inside her home."You back," Lewis said, sounding like a husband waiting at home for his wife's return.Judy was momentarily uncomfortable. Even though it was her own home, she hesitantly entered."Why didn't you leave?" Judy asked bluntly as she stepped in, immediately noticing a large bed placed in the middle of her small apartment.It looked like a two-meter bed, which seemed out of place in her cramped apartment compared to the 1.5-meter single bed she previously had.Lewis introduced the bed, "This is an imported bed from Europe, very comfortable. Try lying on it.""The bed isn’t the issue. The point is, why are you still here?" Judy asked.Lewis responded matter-of-factly, "You gave me your keys. If I weren't here, who would have opened the door for you?""No, it's

    What really confirmed to Lewis that it was Judy that night, was the kiss they shared last night. Familiar and irresistibly intoxicating, it was exactly like that night. After returning to the Royal Manor, he opened that email. To make sure, he clicked on it. But when he saw Judy sneaking out of his room in the footage, Lewis was thrilled. It was her, indeed. A smile crept onto Lewis's lips, just because the person that night was her. He thought back to the various odd behaviors Judy exhibited since that night. At the office, she acted like a mouse seeing a cat upon seeing him. When he mistakenly thought she was promiscuous, she retorted angrily, saying someone would come looking for their father one day. When he had a car accident, she cried sorrowfully, wondering what she would do without him. All of that was real. He really wanted to know, what Judy felt when she mistakenly thought she was pregnant, and whether she decided to keep the baby because she thought

    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.

    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.

    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
