Right then, her phone vibrated. She took it out and had a look. It was a message from Avery.She glanced at Lewis. He had his eyes on her phone too. Before she could react, he'd already snatched her phone away and tapped on the text message."Josie, I've been locked up, and the cafe's been raided. I
Josephine slowly reached out to scoop a handful of ash off the ground. It was promptly blown away by a gust of wind. She looked up at Lewis helplessly.But all he did was gaze back at her condescendingly, as though all he had destroyed were some worthless garbage, and that in his eyes, Josephine was
Josephine cast her gaze downward. Did he really not understand what she was implying? No. He was just being selfish.She turned around, ran into the mansion, and hid in her room.Lewis waited outside in the yard until every last piece of trash was burned up before he went inside as well Josephine c
Lewis did not set foot into the bedroom the entire night. When Josephine woke up the next morning, he was no longer in the mansion.She stayed in bed and stared at the ceiling for two whole hours before finally getting out of bed.Although she had no appetite, she still made some oatmeal and forced
With that, he pulled out two keys from his pocket, parked the Bentley in the garage, and then brought the Porsche out.Conrad did not know why Lewis made him swap cars, but Josephine knew why he did that.He had actually paid attention to her question last night.She looked up to the sky, trying to
The smile froze on Sierra's face. She struggled for quite a while before finally managing what seemed like a smile."I was just joking! What's gotten into you, why are you being so fierce?"The corners of Lewis' lips raised as he chuckled. "I was just kidding too."……People in the restaurant came a
Josephine stared at the old lady and reached out for her hand, shaking her head to tell her to stop eating."Do you want this too?" The old lady looked Josephine up and down. She didn't look like she was short of money.Josephine placed the cake she was holding on the ground and motioned, "Mrs. Jink
"I need to make a move," Lewis said as he walked away without even looking back.This made Sierra so angry that she almost jumped up from the sofa. "Lewis!" she yelled, but he didn't even turn back. Sierra was fuming. She had just been discharged from the hospital, and this apathetic man didn't eve
"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
