Avery helped Josephine remove her helmet. Both of them were completely drenched, but the coffee in Josephine’s arms was intact.“Are these people crazy? Do they not even have a coffee machine in this big company?” Avery ranted as she took the coffee from her hands and smiled. “Hey, you can wait here
In the lobby of the office building.“What happened?” Lewis sat down beside Sierra and held her leg to examine her swollen ankle.Sierra snorted in anger and turned her head away from him.At this moment, a security guard came over and handed something to Lewis, saying, "Mr. Alvarez, this is the sur
Josephine pursed her lips and stared at him for a while before seemingly making up her mind. She let go of his clothes and walked past him down the stairs, moving toward the sofa in the living room. She bent down, opened the drawer under the coffee table, and took out a divorce agreement that had b
Magic Cube was a popular club in Elysium, a paradise for the wealthy. Talking to a random guy here could mean talking to a prominent figure of Elysium.It was Josephine’s first time there, and her simple attire looked incredibly out of place in the crowd.Several people were in the private room, inc
With a loud noise, the bottle fractured into pieces. The wine that spilled out mixed with blood, blurring Avery's vision. Everything happened too fast, and no one reacted in time. They didn’t expect her to be so ruthless toward herself.“Avy!” Tyler widened his eyes as he quickly held onto the stumb
After a while, Lewis retracted his arm without looking at Josephine.He turned to Sierra and said softly, “I’ll send you back to the hospital.”“But…” Sierra wasn’t satisfied, but when she met Lewis’ icy gaze, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.At this moment, he was like a marshmallo
Fortunately, Tyler was quick enough to react and caught Josephine in his arms. He felt the heat on her shoulders and looked at her in surprise. "She has a fever."Startled, he then called out, "Quick, go find a doctor!"Josephine seemed to have fallen into a long dream where she went back to her chi
Just as Avery was about to go find a doctor, Josephine pulled her back.Stunned, Avery asked, “Don’t…tell me you want to have the baby? But why would you give birth to that scumbag’s child?”Josephine shook her head and gestured, “He won’t want the baby.”“Well, then let’s get that abortion.”Joseph
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
