As far as Josephine knew, there were only three snowfalls in Elysium. One of them took place when she was only a seven-year-old kid.Little Josephine was still asleep when a pair of cold hands snuck under her covers and dragged her out of bed. The owner of those hands scooped her into his arms as he
Josephine kept shaking her head. That man … He wasn't Lewis at all.However, he gripped his chin without respecting her wishes and leaned down to capture her lips with his own.The young woman could only grit her teeth while attempting to turn her head away to avoid that kiss. At the same time, she
He decided to drop Mrs. Larson a word of advice out of the kindness of his heart. "You and the others should be careful during the next two days. Remember, you mustn't piss Mr. Alvarez off. He might end up killing someone for real."The housekeeper's complexion became pale as she stared at Dr. Halli
"Okay." Lewis ended the call right after leaving that one-worded response.Dr. Halliday went into a trance for a while as he listened to the beeps from his phone.Meanwhile, Lewis casually tossed his phone onto the table before picking up a document and continuing to read it. The computer monitor on
Lewis brought the car to life before slowly navigating it out of the parking lot. "I can't. I'm on a business trip.""Where are you going?""Hardington.""Why don't you bring me along?"Lewis didn't say anything in response. He neither agreed nor disagreed with her. His lack of response displeased S
Josephine stared at the unread messages left by Lewis with glimmering eyes.She bit her bottom lip while tapping on his private chat. The first thing she saw was the message that stated that she got blocked by Lewis instead of the messages he had sent her.With a frown on her face, Josephine started
"Tell me, how does the real Lewis like?"A familiar teenage boy popped into Josephine's mind at that moment, causing her to look temporarily dazed.Even though she was still staring at Lewis, it was clear that she was staring through him and at a viewpoint that was much further from his physical bod
18-year-old Josephine might be sweet, understanding, and gentle, but she had also developed a temper of her own thanks to Lewis spoiling her for so long.It was because she knew very well that she had a guardian who always backed her up and wouldn't let anyone bully her.Even when Daphne pushed her
"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
