Josephine was taken aback. She lowered her head to look at the box in her hands. These were her study materials. There were also a few pens and a cup. How was this trash? But since he commanded it, Josephine could only walk out silently with the box in her hands.Little did she expect a strong grip
Josephine grabbed Lewis' sleeve, and her eyes reddened as she saw his emotionless eyes. Overwhelmed with emotions, she closed her eyes and shook her head."Really?" Lewis stared at her.Josephine nodded. Her legs weakened, and she nestled into his arms. He said, "Your body and your looks don't match
Lewis took a few documents and prepared to leave. He looked back at Josephine and said, "When you exit this room, turn right, and you'll see your workstation."Josephine nodded. Her face was pale. His roughness moments ago had left a lasting impression. Observing his present appearance, impeccably d
Josephine's heart sank, and she looked at Lewis nervously. She grimaced and forced out a smile. She gestured, "I'll take it when I go back."Lewis' gaze flickered, and he said, "Don't take it anymore."Josephine was taken aback. Lewis reached out his hand and tucked a few strands of hair behind her
As she spoke, she took out a card from her purse. "This is for you."Lewis took a glance at the debit card and did not take it.Sierra continued, "I've sold all the clothes I haven't worn before, along with several purses. I also sold a few cars that I had never driven. I'm currently seeking someone
A faint glimmer appeared in Robert's eyes as he asked, "Then what is it? What do you expect from me after pulling all that crap?"Although they appeared calm and composed, there was an undeniable tension in the air surrounding them. There existed neither harmony between father and son nor the animos
A nanny saw Josephine and greeted, "Madam, you're back?"Josephine withdrew her gaze from the baby's face and nodded lightly.The nanny said, "Then Master Lewis is also back, right? Both of you should go and take a look at Mrs. Alvarez. She has been quite distraught lately, leading to her loss of ap
"Madam, you… " The nannies looked at her nervously. They were desperate to stop Bambam from crying and took their chances with Josephine. But now they suddenly recalled that Josephine went through two forced abortions, and the culprit behind those hideous acts was Bambam's mother. This realization s
"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
