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
Fresh tears glistened in her eyes while waves of fatigue soon took over her body. Josephine didn't even feel like sitting up.Suddenly, she turned her head as though she had sensed something. She was stunned upon noticing the man sitting near the headboard.He was wearing a black shirt. In fact, his
Josephine finally typed her reply after reading the chat history. "I'm not planning anything."Quintin sent another message. "Where are you right now?"The young woman raised her head to look in the direction of the school gates. Then, she looked down and sent the address to Quintin.Whenever the la
A while later, he looked at Amelia. "Didn't he tell you anything after he got home?""What?"Lewis explained, "He visited me once. I told him my condition. Unfortunately, he refused to accept it."Amelia asked hurriedly, "What's your condition, Mr. Alvarez?""Simple. I want all of the Moss family's
Derek's appearance caused the atmosphere in the meeting room to tense up again.Amelia stood up hastily and moved to tug at his sleeve. "How did you get here?"Her son glared at her angrily. He snarled out, "Why are you meeting him?""I'm pleading for your sake! I can't just sit around and watch you
"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
