She shook her head and wanted to remove her clothes. Quintin was frightened out of his wits. He quickly rushed over to hold her hand."Josephine, please leave first. I'm begging you!"She paused her actions and diverted her gaze to his chest. Helpless, Quintin immediately covered himself. Eventuall
The person who entered the room was none other than Quintin. He had just finished showering and had changed into a T-shirt and casual pants. He approached Josephine's bed and saw that she was asleep. Hence, he grabbed the blanket and covered her with it.While covering her, he also noticed the watc
Holding the swimsuit, Josephine flipped it back and forth for quite a while but didn't know how to put it on.There were so many straps and holes.She studied it for a while before finally putting on the troublesome outfit. Then, she opened the door and walked up to Quintin before extending her arms
Dazed, Josephine stood in the middle of the water. Quintin helped her tie her hair up in a bun. It looked messy, and she had damp baby hairs stuck to her cheeks.However, her tiny face remained uncovered. Coupled with the loose hair falling next to her face, she looked effortlessly attractive. Her
It was almost noon when they finished showering. Lewis helped Josephine get dressed and ordered some food.Sitting on the sofa, Josephine stared at the food. Her hunger instantly overcame her desire to search for Quintin. She took the plate of cut steak Lewis handed her and grabbed a piece with her
Conrad looked inside the room and asked, "Where's Chairman Alvarez?"He thought it was weird when he didn't see Lewis on the sofa today.Josephine pointed to the bedroom.Conrad hummed. Looking at Josephine, he instantly understood the situation. Lewis and Josephine must have had an exciting night y
Josephine stayed by Lewis' bedside, watching him as he underwent infusion. Only she was around when it was time to change the intravenous bag, and she was unsure what to do as Conrad wasn't there.She stared as the intravenous line slowly turned red. Blood was backflowing into the tube from Lewis' b
"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

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."
