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
Josephine walked over and squatted down beside her. Mrs. Jinkins was cooking the eggs that she'd bought last night. "Are you awake? Wait a minute, the eggs will be ready soon." Josephine smiled and nodded.Lewis had been looking for Josephine all night. He had searched everywhere near the restaur
Josephine pounded on the door for a while, but she eventually collapsed and sat on the ground. The cluttered storage room was pitch-black and cramped. It was too quiet. Even the air was still.The overwhelming darkness enveloped Josephine, like countless spider webs wrapping around her, making it d
Tyler became annoyed when he heard Josephine’s name. “You’re in no position to worry about others now. Are you planning to get yourself locked up forever?” “I don’t care whether I get out of my room or not! Please help me confirm that Josephine is safe. Even if Lewis bullied her, she won't tell any
"You!" Tyler was furious. "Can you stop fooling around?""I'm not fooling around. Are you going or not?" Avery was already sitting on the windowsill. Looking down from that height, she couldn’t help but shudder. To be honest, Avery didn't have the courage to jump, but she knew that this threat woul
"Then why isn't she replying to my messages?""Her phone was taken by Lewis, so don't worry about it. Just stay at home and don't do anything reckless. I have something to attend to.""Hey, Ty…"Tyler cut Avery off and hung up. He scrolled to Lewis's number and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he
"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
