A sudden flash of lightning ripped the sky, and Josephine immediately crouched down in fright. She wanted to cover her ears, but her hands were still in his grip. She looked up, but she couldn't open her eyes under the falling rain. The sky was too dark, and she could only make out that he was dress
Hearing his question, she turned her face to him slightly and stole glances at him through her hair. After staring for a few minutes and confirming that she couldn't recognize him, she turned away and kept her face to the wall. A vein throbbed in Lewis' temple as he clenched his hands, making them t
Dr. Halliday had no choice but to stitch Lewis' wound up again. Even though he had applied anesthesia, he still reminded Lewis, "Mr. Alvarez, it'll sting a little. Please bear with it.""Just do it," urged the impatient Lewis.Dr. Halliday zipped his lips and sutured Lewis' wound. It was quite diffi
"Go to sleep," Lewis said softly as he caressed her face. Josephine blinked twice and stared at him for a while before she turned away from him. Studying the back of her head, Lewis fell silent and reached out to switch off the lights. As the room was plunged into darkness, a tear fell from Josephin
He sighed silently as he put down the papers in his hands and reached out for a napkin to wipe the milk from the corners of her lips. But her eyes instantly widened as she frantically cowered in fear. Lewis frowned with his hand suspended mid-air. A brief moment later, he chucked the napkin on the t
When Quintin saw the smile on her face, he suddenly felt that his fall during his climb had been worth it. He pointed toward the main door and signaled for Josephine to come out. She nodded fervently and ran down the stairs. When she reached the living room and spotted Mrs. Larson feeding the dogs,
"Madam, you can't go out. Mr. Alvarez will kill me if you do!" Josephine stopped in her tracks and looked back at Mrs. Larson with slight hesitation. However, Quintin pushed Mrs. Larson into the house and shut the door. He ran to Josephine, held her hand, and ran out with her. "Quick, follow me!"
Lewis' expression was dark, and he said nothing. He looked like he was thinking something over. After getting no answer, Conrad refocused on driving, and they arrived at the office very soon. Lewis looked at his phone and saw that Quintin had indeed taken Josephine out of the city. He shut his eyes
"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
