Seth brushed past Sierra and left the restaurant after leaving his advice hanging in the air. The latter was the only one staying rooted to the spot in a dumbfounded manner.Seth's advice served as a good reminder for her. Her intelligence was nothing in front of Lewis. If she did end up harming Jos
Lewis' eyes widened by a fraction as he stood up immediately. Then, he searched the entire office for Josephine.She had gone missing.The man couldn't be bothered to say anything to the doctor at that point. He immediately bolted out of the office in search of the missing woman.Meanwhile, Josephin
As expected, the first thing she saw was Lewis, who was smoking on the couch.His sleeves were rolled to his elbows, revealing his arms. A burning cigarette was trapped between his fingers. Meanwhile, his collar fell open haphazardly, and even his hair was slightly messy. A few strands of hair fell
Lewis' voice drifted into Sierra's ears right away.Every word was akin to a lightning bolt striking her in the same spot. The impact was so strong that she found herself reeling back from the shock and hurt.She slowly tightened her grip on Lewis' lap, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she choked
As for the latter, she could only look up at him while kneeling on the ground."I only want you." Her eyes were already puffy and red, and her vision of the man was blurry due to the tears welling up in her eyes.The only thing she could see clearly was the cold impassiveness in his eyes."You only
Sierra was hoping to hear Lewis' answer. Instead, he just pulled out his phone and dialed Gerald's number."Call an ambulance right now."As time passed, Sierra's vision started becoming more and more blurry. Her eyelids became heavier as well. Even when she was dying, she still couldn't see any exp
"They monopolized a lot of businesses back then. There was also the Alvarez family who was as powerful as them—"Gerald had to rack his brain to remember more details of the past while recounting the tale to Seth."Those two families don't exist anymore, right?""Yeah. They were rich, after all, whi
Lewis dragged Josephine all the way to the car. He drove her to the hospital once again.Subconsciously, she had developed a growing aversion to that place since he had gotten mad at her in the hospital this morning. Even before Lewis could take her inside, she found herself trying to avoid entering
"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
