Josephine was ashamed of her infatuation with Lewis. She felt that her romantic feelings for him had tainted their friendship. Her love was destined to be hidden and suppressed, unworthy to be expressed to the world. Finally, Josephine opened her eyes. Overhead, the bright lights dazzled her so t
In that short minute, countless images flashed through her mind. The times Lewis ignored her, his coldness and indifference toward her, as well as the times he worried about her and smiled at her while patting her head. As someone who didn’t love her, his coldness and indifference were expected.
She hurriedly got out of bed, changed, and went to the hospital. While she registered at the counter, she wanted to send a text to Avery asking her to lend her some money. Instead, she saw an incoming transfer notification from Lewis and opened it up. It wasn't much, but he was transferring fifty t
Seeing the dagger in Lewis’ hand, the two men shrunk back, extremely frightened.“We…we’ve really never seen you before. Did you get the wrong people?”Lewis smiled ambiguously at them, bringing the blade to one of their jaws. “Think carefully.”The cold dagger sent a shiver down his spine, and he c
When Josephine was alone, she didn't like sleeping in her room. She preferred to be on the sofa, falling asleep to the sound of the television. Just as she switched on the television, Avery called. Josephine was surprised. Although she didn't know why Avery was calling at this hour, she picked up.
Even in a situation like that, the only person Lewis thought of was Josie.What reason could Josephine still have for not loving him after hearing that?At that moment, she gave all her love to that man, and he became someone more important to her than her life. It was also clear to her that his car
Avery’s smile froze. “Not getting a divorce again? Did you change your mind after he said a few nice things to you again?Josephine shook her head, not knowing how to express her current feelings. She was worried about Avery and didn’t want her to join the competition. Avery sighed, walking to the
"Why did you rush back so early in the morning?" Avery dusted herself off before helping Josephine up.Lewis glanced at the both of them before stopping his gaze at Josephine's face. He ignored Avery and asked, "Where are you going?""What does it have to do with you? Her legs are hers, she can go a
"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
