Lewis' eyes sparkled when he noticed the fear in Josephine's eyes.He then retracted his hand and drove back to Styx Mansion.Once they reached home, Lewis headed to his study while Josephine retreated to her bedroom. There, she hid under the covers while recalling everything she had seen in the mor
"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
