Draco sized Josephine up with interest. Her struggles were negligent. In fact, the more she struggled, the more she resembled a wild kitten—a mute untamed kitten.Draco grasped her chin. Her face was the definition of "palm-sized" under comparison; Draco could easily suffocate her with one hand.Jos
Numerous guests flocked to the deck to ascertain the cause of the jerk. If the cruise ship had indeed collided with an iceberg or faced a similar calamity, the repercussions would be catastrophic.There was a massive crowd on the deck. When the strong sea breeze blew, everyone shivered.Draco and Ki
"It doesn't matter who this ship belongs to. We're here to search for a person and will leave as soon as we find her. So we hope you'll make an exception for us, Mr. Faust."Faust's gaze lingered on Seth momentarily when he heard Seth was here to find someone. "Who is it you're trying to find?"Seth
Seth gave Lewis a side glance.Lewis was unruffled. He seemed not to have the intention of elaborating more on the topic.Seth laughed instead. "You won't learn about these just by listening to rumors. It seems you have an extensive network, Mr. Faust."Faust shrugged but didn't deny it. He roamed t
Half an hour later, it turned out the search yielded no results.Faust said, "Sirs, we really can't find her. According to our deal earlier, please get your men to move aside. When the cruise ship starts moving again, you can look for her on your own."Lewis tilted his chin, signaling Seth to instru
Kiran looked at him in disagreement. "Why are you so impatient?"Draco smacked his lips and picked up the cigar on the table. Crossing his legs, he asked, "Then what shall I do with all the time on our hands?"Kiran kept quiet and decided to ignore him.Draco sensed Kiran's dissatisfaction, so he ce
Holding the room card, Lewis entered the cabin.The women were in room 218. Lewis came to the door to find it open, and a woman in a green dress was leaning against it. When she saw him, a smile bloomed on her face."Hey there. You're impatient, aren't you? We haven't even finished bathing." Smiling
Draco cursed under his breath. Using his momentum, he shoved Lewis aside.He was strong, indeed; Lewis took a step back.But there was no way Lewis would let him escape. He seized the back of Draco's collar.Many people were running in their direction. Draco seemed to panic. Mustering all the force
"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
