Josephine dared not get her hopes up because every time she did, utter disappointment followed. He didn't urge her to drink, no doubt. But he kept Sierra out of this altogether, didn't he?She sat silently, staring at her toes. Time seemed to crawl by.Everyone was watching Eva as she drank. Her al
Josephine was stunned. Then, she immediately opened the door, hopped in, and put on her seatbelts.Lewis didn't say anything as he reversed the car.The rain had stopped, but the weather was still depressing. Josephine's hands and feet were icy and numb after being in the hotel all night.The window
Josephine met his icy gaze and slowly lowered hers. She got up to put the box back.However, a slender hand grabbed the box.Josephine was stunned. Before she could react, Lewis snatched the box away and hurled it aside. The box fell to the floor with a thud, and shreds scattered everywhere.A sudde
Josephine could only fit in a few pieces of clothing and couldn't squeeze in her remaining wardrobe. She was contemplating ways to take her outfits with her when someone suddenly kicked her suitcase, and it slid a good distance away.Josephine was surprised. She looked up to see Lewis glowering at h
The doctor told her she needed continuous infusions, but she wasn't sure how long she had to undergo the therapy. She wrote this down in the notebook too.When the infusion was being administered, Quintin sent her a message.He told her one of the dogs had just given birth to a nest of husky puppies
Seth would love to share this thrilling information with Lewis, but Lewis might just go off the deep end if he really did. Seth imagined Lewis' expression and burst out laughing.Conrad scrutinized the photo his subordinate took and hesitated whether or not he should show it to Lewis. He recalled Le
Lewis took another puff and didn't answer him. Conrad saw his thoughtful eyes, and chills ran down his spine.Meanwhile, Josephine was at Quintin's pet shelter.There was a bed for her there. After Quintin realized she wasn't inclined to go home, he brought her here as it was equipped with beds.He
Lewis brought Josephine to the arcade once, and they got these dolls.Looking at the photo, the blurry images in her mind regained clarity.It was a sunny Friday afternoon.Josephine waited for Lewis at his high school entrance. She waited for hours, but he was nowhere to be seen.It was almost dark
"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
