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
Lewis halted.He wasn't so foolish as to go against Seth's words just because he sent him that message since he could somehow guess what it meant.Lewis cast his phone aside and drove back.He got out of the car and strode into the living room once he reached Alvarez Manor.As he stepped inside, he
Lewis clasped Josephine's hand again and slowly said, "Come with me. We'll get the divorce certificate after your wounds are healed."Josephine slowly looked up after hearing this."Can we go now?" Josephine lowered her eyes again and stared at her toes.Lewis brought her to the car and helped her
Josephine was trapped in the mansion for two days, during which Lewis was nowhere to be seen.The rain continued for two days, and it didn't seem like it was ending anytime soon.When Lewis returned at night on the weekend, Josephine was still curled up in her original position.His eyes flickered a
Josephine was unusually composed after listening to Dr. Halliday, seemingly at peace with her peculiar condition.She looked at him, waiting for him to continue."Have you lost a lot of memory recently?"Josephine furrowed her brows, puzzled. She contemplated, but how could she know what she had for
Lewis' and Nancy's gazes were locked in a glaring contest. The more Nancy thought about it, the angrier she grew, and her fingernails dug into the flesh on her palm.She would never allow him to disobey her or touch those working for her because of another woman!After some time, Lewis suddenly said
Forty minutes later, Lewis arrived at the landfill.Conrad held an umbrella beside him, looking at him with an incomprehensible expression.Then, he turned toward the figure hanging from a tree branch before him. It was a nightmarish sight.Mrs. Jinkins hung ominously from the branch, a noose cruel
Then, he looked up and met Josephine's hesitating gaze. His eyes widened. "It can't be … was it Mr. Alvarez?"Josephine pressed her lips together and nodded.Dr. Halliday immediately shut his mouth. "I said nothing."After dressing Josephine's wounds, Dr. Halliday turned his concerned eyes toward he
"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
