Quintin showed her all the gifts he bought. They were all women's accessories, and there were at least a dozen.After doing so, he turned to Josephine and smiled. "Is there anything you like?"Josephine was in a brief trance, probably because of his dazzling smile.She was silent for several seconds
Quintin squatted too, watching her with mixed feelings.Parked at the outermost region of the park was a black Bentley.Conrad saw Josephine's sobbing figure at once. He couldn't help but exclaim how similar Josephine was to a child—and a trying child at that. He wondered if Quintin could endure her
Shocked, Quintin stared at her, his eyes wide open. He was at an utter loss for words.Josephine chomped on the cotton candy, unaware of the rampaging whirlwind in his mind.He opened his mouth to say something but realized he couldn't come up with anything.He didn't even know when the onset was. H
Just as Quintin was about to make a phone call, Josephine suddenly grabbed his hand and shook it.He abruptly turned to look at her.She innocently gazed back at him, then pointed to the bun in the hands of a passing child before blinking her eyes cutely at him.Quintin felt a slight stir in his hea
Lewis watched as they fled and pondered for a moment. He turned to Phineas and said, "Go check it out.""Check what out?"Lewis cast him a glance.Phineas rubbed his nose. He was just a breeder and definitely not as clever as Conrad. Lewis only said three words. How did he expect Phineas to understa
Kiran's expression turned momentarily sour when he heard Lewis' words, but he quickly regained his composure. "Of course. To receive such care from Master Robert and Chairman Alvarez, I'll dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the Alvarez family."After reading the room, Phineas quickly fetched a chair
Quintin couldn't help but laugh at her demeanor and called the waiter over to pay the bill.However, he still pondered how to prevent Lewis from snatching her away.If that despicable man found out that Josephine had regressed to five years old, he would surely use it as an excuse to take her back.
Quintin looked at her eagerly. Josephine blinked, and her hands froze in the air. She was stumped. She couldn't recall that word and didn't know the sign language for it.The man sighed with disappointment at the sight of her troubled expression but soon cheered up and persuaded, "Shall I teach 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
