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
"Grandma, it's windy outside. Let's go inside first," Lewis said, helping his grandmother into the house. In this family, it was only his grandmother who could make Lewis show a bit more patience, even talking to her in the tone one would use with children. As soon as they entered the house, it was as if by magic, his grandmother pulled out a stick of candy from behind her, whispering, "My dear grandson, look what grandma has prepared for you. Candy. Your mom isn't home, she doesn't know. Let's eat it secretly and not tell your mom." Looking at the candy, Lewis felt a warmth in his eyes. He lifted the corners of his lips, "Okay, we won't tell my mom. I'll take all the candy." His grandmother, acting like a child, was capriciously demanding, "Leave one for me, just one." His grandmother had high blood pressure and diabetes; she shouldn't eat sugar. Lewis took all the candy and said, "Grandma, I'll exchange something else for it. The doctor said you can't eat sugar. Be obedi
Isabella was being too controlling. Her attempts to manipulate Lewis's marriage naturally strained the mother-son relationship even more. Isabella's eyes reddened even more, and she sounded somewhat uneasy as she explained, "Mom didn't mean anything else, Mom is always thinking of your best." "I've had enough of that phrase," Lewis coldly said, "If you don't want our relationship to worsen, then please, keep out of my affairs." Isabella's heart ached with her son's indifference. "Grandson, are you arguing with your mom again? Don't fight, please don't," Grandma came over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing his grandma, Lewis's expression immediately softened, even his tone became gentler, "Grandma, it's stuffy here. I'll accompany you downstairs for chess." Lewis helped his grandma downstairs, without giving Isabella a single glance throughout. Watching her son being so kind to his grandmother but so cold towards his own mother, Isabella felt anger mixing with her grief
Standing at Judy's apartment door wasn't Lewis, but John. Hearing footsteps, John turned around with a warm smile: "Working late again, huh? I was in the area after finishing some errands, so I brought you some late-night snacks. Got your favorite pizza." A flicker of disappointment passed through the depths of Judy's eyes, so fleeting she didn't even notice it herself. "Have you been busy too?" Judy spoke as she opened the door, "The pizza you bought must be delicious; I can already smell it." Once inside, John immediately noticed the large bed. "The landlord is quite generous, this bed looks really nice, and it's big," John casually mentioned. Hearing this, Judy felt a bit embarrassed but didn't explain that the bed was from Lewis. "Let me taste the pizza," Judy changed the subject. John asked with a smile, "You mentioned you saw Susan recently, how is she doing?" "I was actually about to tell you about that," Judy replied seriously. "Susan has partnered with some
John is only a year older than Judy. In this bustling city, people without backgrounds like them find it hard to lead a comfortable life. John works in a small law firm and has been employed for three years without any recognition or the opportunity to handle a case independently. His work is exploited by his superiors; he's always assisting, doing the most work for the least pay, without any chance to advance. John, with his clear brows and handsome face, is slightly thin. For convenience at work, he bought a second-hand car and is struggling with rent and car expenses, leaving him no savings, let alone the possibility of buying a house in the city. Seeing Judy's smile makes him feel content. Without money, power, or influence, all he can offer her are these small gifts. He likes Judy but knows she won't be his. Leaving Judy's place around midnight, he still looks forward to the future. At 26, he still has the chance to create a better life where he could offer Judy the
Judy was also afraid of being extorted; she couldn't afford to compensate if she were accused. Grandma nodded, "It wasn't the young girl who hit you." Judy suggested, "Shall we record a video together?" To avoid any future misunderstandings. Grandma cooperated and recorded the evidence. Judy then sent the elderly woman to the nearby hospital to check if her leg was injured. While waiting in line, Judy asked the old lady, "Do you remember your family's phone number? Grandma, why don't you call your family and ask them to come and accompany you? I still need to go to work." Upon hearing the keyword "phone," Grandma took out her mobile phone from around her neck, "I have a phone; my grandson bought it for me." Judy noticed something on the back of the phone case and asked, "Grandma, may I see your phone?" "Here you go," Grandma readily agreed; she took a liking to Judy at first sight, finding her beautiful. Beautiful people are always more pleasing to the eye. J
Judy quickly explained, "It wasn't me who hit her. I brought Grandma to the hospital, and I have a video to prove it." Saying this, Judy took out her phone, opened the video, and showed it to Antonio, explaining the situation in detail. After understanding the whole story, Antonio apologized, "I'm sorry, young lady, I almost misunderstood you. Thank you for bringing my mother to the hospital. My mother has... a bit of a problem." Antonio pointed to his head to hint at the issue. Seeing that Antonio was quite reasonable, Judy said, "It's okay, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up. Here are the X-rays taken by the doctor. Grandma doesn't have any major issues, just a sprain." "Thank you, thank you," Antonio thanked her repeatedly and took out his phone, "Young lady, what's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you." Judy had paid for the medical expenses and examination fees, so she naturally wanted to recover this money. It was several hundre
