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
Quintin dared not dally. He took his car keys and drove Josephine to work.Choosing the less busy roads, he sped through the streets so Josephine would be in time for work.He handed her a small carton of milk and said, "I thought of taking you for breakfast. I didn't know you were working. I would'
Lewis put an end to the argument and drove in silence.Sierra looked away in a fit of pique. She couldn't be bothered to say anymore and didn't want to bring the argument further. Every time they fought, they wouldn't see each other for days.Josephine watched as the car drove further away until it
She struggled to maintain a smile on her face as she spoke into the microphone. "Considering that he's right by my side," she began, her voice carefully measured, "I believe there's no need for me to elaborate on our relationship any further, correct? It's simply his nature. He isn't fond of such ev
Since he didn't say anything, Josephine lowered her head and walked past him."Wait."Josephine's steps halted, and she nervously looked up at him.Suddenly, Seth threw an unidentified object at her. It landed perfectly in her arms, and she instinctively caught it. Upon closer inspection, it was a
Lewis froze in his movements. He lifted his eyes and looked toward the door.Josephine bit her lip and bravely walked over to Lewis. He looked somewhat out of place as he held the baby in his arms. Dressed impeccably in a suit, he exuded a cold and distant aura that kept people at arm's length, yet
Josephine pressed her lips tightly, her expression unnatural. She'd indeed thought of it that way. Lewis bent down and got close to her. They were mere inches away from each other and seemed to be in an intimate position. However, his gaze was icy as he spoke in a low voice, "You think too highly o
Lewis said indifferently, "Why should I be concerned for her well-being?"Conrad wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He secretly roasted Lewis for constantly trying to save face. Nevertheless, he kept up the act. "That's not very nice, though; it's a human life we're talking about."Lewis cast Conr
"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
