However, she underestimated the intelligence of both Lewis and Seth, who made her look like a fool.Lewis started his car and drove out of the underground parking lot.Meanwhile, Josephine looked out the window, where an unnoticeable light drizzle floated through the open window and landed tenderly
Josephine was rooted to the spot, clearly stunned. She didn't know what to do or where else to go. At the same time, she felt like a clown who thought too highly of herself."Leave it there," Lewis ordered impassively.Josephine nodded before turning around and leaving the study quietly.She could h
Sometimes, Josephine envied Sierra a lot. Even though the latter didn't have an official title, Lewis still loved her deeply.Sierra could go to work whenever she wanted to. If becoming a celebrity was her dream, then Lewis would support her.As for Josephine, she was only worthy enough to take on a
Josephine popped her injured finger into her mouth. A heavy coppery taste burst across her tongue instantly."Hey, stop slacking off! If you can keep working, then keep working! If not, get the hell out of here right now! Don't waste everyone's time, understand?"The plump woman always noticed when
"If you cover that hottie's head, his body is exactly the same as the one in the pictures!""Woah! Holy shit!"Josephine sat in the corner silently listening to the other employees' chatter. The group then moved on to how Sierra and her mysterious boyfriend fell in love and how perfect they looked t
It was none other than Lewis. He got out of the car and looked at Seth. "You seem pretty free today, Seth." With a slight smile, Seth said, "I'm only passing by. It was a coincidence that I bumped into Josephine, so I thought I'd give her a lift.""Is that so? It’s a coincidence that I was looking
Josephine put her phone away, avoiding replying to Avery. She had been washing dishes the entire day and she was exhausted. She returned to her bedroom and flopped on the bed. She looked at her peeled fingertips and thought about Avery's message again. She was a little dazed.Mrs. Jinkins knocked on
Josephine tensed. Her face flushed hotly. She looked away to avoid Lewis's gaze. Lewis picked her up and placed her in the bathtub. Josephine clenched her fists nervously. She was a little reluctant because her stomach did not feel well. However, she had no power to refuse him. If she were to do so
"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
