Seth closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as he attempted to calm himself down. After a moment, he nodded slightly. "Yes. It's me."Immediately after, he added, "Have you been staying here all these years?"Paul nodded in response, a hint of excitement now present on his distorted face. "Yes! I'
"How could that be?" Paul found it difficult to believe Seth's claims. "The Vance and the Alvarez families shared such a close relationship! Master Edward and Master Alan had been best friends for so many years, not to mention Master Alan even took a bullet for Master Edward! There's no way the Alva
A trace of impatience appeared on Lewis' face. He retorted coldly, "You can go ahead and investigate the incident if you want to know the truth. Even if I tell you anything right now, are you able to guarantee that I'm being truthful to you?"He was right.The information which spilled from his lips
The young woman had been waiting for Paul to give her more food, but Seth and Lewis had tracked her down instead.Now that Josephine was able to relax, she found herself leaning into Lewis' arms while her consciousness gradually slipped away.…Once Lewis returned to the hotel, he could see Gerald p
Josephine bowed her head to look at the man before her, a dazed mist shrouding her eyes.After Lewis finished sliding her feet into the slippers, he raised his head to look at her.Their eyes briefly met, and something flashed across his beautiful eyes. It was so fleeting that Josephine almost didn'
After that, she would patiently explain to him that the biology teacher had taught her about the differences between boys and girls during her biology class, so she should avoid being too close to him.However, Young Lewis always ignored what Young Josephine said. The next day, he would still insist
Lewis wrapped an arm around Josephine's waist to support her while he flicked the cigarette into the ashtray with his other hand. After that, he poured some water from his glass onto the ashtray to extinguish the embers.After returning to his seat on the couch, he placed both hands on Josephine's w
From Lewis' perspective, he was able to see every inch of the young woman's body.Then again, all it took was just one glance for him to sit up on the bed and place a hand on her waist to steady her. "Be careful. You might fall."Josephine looked down at him for a moment. A smile soon blossomed on h
"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
