Lewis looked at what Josephine was signing. He said nothing.Josephine waited for a very long time before looking up and meeting his gaze. She repeated what she said. However, before she could finish signing, he grabbed her fingers.He said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what I said?"Josephine
He casually called the shots on their marriage and her life. Josephine went to the bathroom to wash up. She grabbed her phone and dialed Mrs. Jinkins once more, but the call did not go through. She curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already the next day. She found hers
Josephine was stunned. She looked up to see Sierra angrily standing in front of her.Sierra was not angry about the position being taken up. She was only angry at the fact that she had barely left when Josephine had already replaced her. Josephine looked at her without any response.Sierra picked u
No one could have his heart. "Yes, so we will get what's coming for us." Sierra let go of him. She stood up and said, "If you insist on having her at the office, promise me one thing.""Tell me.""If she's in the office during the day, you can't go back with her at night. I don't want her to hog yo
"Are you going to a meeting?" Sierra asked casually.Lewis responded with an affirmative grunt. His meeting was two floors down. The doors to the elevator soon opened, and he left.The moment he left, Sierra's face darkened. She said nothing until they were in the second-level basement underground.
Lewis heard what Sierra said, then turned to look at Josephine.Josephine was already on her feet. She stared at Lewis, her face covered in dirt. She did not explain herself because, from the moment he walked toward Sierra, he had already made his choice. Her explanations would be futile."Can you s
When Josephine came around, she was already in a bed at the hospital with an IV drip inserted into the back of her hand. Her abdomen did not hurt that much anymore.She was alone in the room. She looked up at the IV drip and noticed that the bottle was almost empty. She pushed herself up into a seat
The doctor seemed to remember that Josephine could not speak. She said with a softened tone, "What about your husband? Have you informed him?"Josephine shook her head."Get him to come. How could he not pay attention to your health? He clearly doesn't care about you!"Josephine was a little stunned
"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
