Lewis frowned in response, having heard something that displeased him. He even shot Sierra a warning look as well.The latter didn't seem to have noticed the look. She pouted before whining, "Alright, we should hurry up and head over there already. You promised to dedicate these few days to me and t
Of course, the leader became agitated the moment he heard Daphne's threat. "You were the one who texted me with the order to kill them! What else could happen? You seem to underestimate my understanding of the gravity of murder compared to kidnapping."To put it bluntly, the leader knew that he and
Josephine closed the notebook before taking out another one.That particular notebook was quite old, its pages already yellowed. The handwriting on the notebook was crooked and messy, and most of the words were starting to become blurry.She flipped open that notebook and started reading through the
She seemed to regard him as her savior because she immediately stood up from the couch and stumbled toward him. "Lewis! Lewis, save me!"A flicker of emotion streaked past Derek's eyes. He must have thought of something, seeing as he quickly approached Lewis as well. "Lewis, do you know about Daphne
Daphne gripped Lewis' arm tightly. He did tell her that he would never abandon her, so she could only ask for his help now.The latter looked down at her silently.Tears glistened in Daphne's eyes as she gazed back trustingly at him. A moment later, Lewis averted his gaze and turned to look at Seth
Even though Seth was getting oppressed by Lewis, he couldn't help but smile once again. This time, it was a grin. Then again, the more he grinned, the more emotions he needed to conceal.Of course, grins were perfect for concealing one's emotions."Naturally, I do."The moment Lewis heard Seth's ans
Meanwhile, Josephine sat at the dining table while propping her cheeks with both hands and trying her best to fight off the desire to sleep.Suddenly, a loud notification ringtone chimed from her phone.That shocked the sleep out of her. She quickly dug out her phone to check the screen. It was a te
Josephine quickly averted her gaze. She then looked down and bent over to pick up her phone.She had no idea how long the journey was before Seth finally slowed the car down to a halt. When she noticed the wilderness around her, she was so anxious that her palms were clammy with sweat.Seth got out
"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
