Josephine reached out, intending to take her notebook back, but Lewis pulled his arm away and waved the book around before resting it on his shoulder and out of her reach. Her hand paused in the air, and she chewed on her lip as she stared directly at him."Who do you want to go to the tulip field w
His gaze bore into her, and a few moments elapsed before he finally responded. "If I were to say yes, would you prepare yourself to embark on your bucket list?"Josephine was taken aback, and she quickly shook her head and signed, "Have you truly left?""Yes."She didn't know what to say in response
Josephine's fingers clutched his sleeve tightly, and she didn't respond for a very long time. She didn't know how to react to his question, especially when he had such a look in his eyes. Without warning, Lewis abruptly pushed her off his lap and onto the couch. He rose to his feet, ready to leave,
She had been boasting to him over the last few days, but now that Lewis had said he was no longer Alvarez Corp's president, didn't that mean that she had just majorly embarrassed herself?She forced a smile. "You're just messing with me, right?"Lewis chuckled. "Are you going to give me money if I a
Lewis looked at Sierra with an indecipherable smile. "So?""I'm just a little confused. I can't think of a reason to convince myself to continue staying by your side since you don't want to marry me."He just looked at her and didn't say anything."Oh, come on. Then why don't you tell me, Lewis, do
His deep gaze fell on her face, and he looked at her for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh. He maneuvered the hand she was clutching so that it was now holding hers. Then he reached out his other hand to help her wipe away her tears."Do you have to go this far?""I don't care. I though
Sierra tightened her grip on her bag. It would be a lie to say she didn't want to leave, but the memory of Lewis' ruthless behavior ran through her head, dissuading her from the idea. Despite this, she was unable to let go. Love was definitely a scary thing. Sierra smiled bitterly, understanding she
"Not interested."Seth propped himself up and sat upright. He stared at Lewis and said, "No, you're interested.""Oh?""Do you know who owns the company named TOPSUN?"Lewis gave him a burning gaze. As if he were pondering something, Lewis paused for a moment before he said, "It's Kiran's."Seth rai
"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
