After watching the video for approximately two minutes, Lewis snatched the phone away and paused it. "You haven't fully recovered and can't play this game."Josephine was puzzled. "I'm fine now.""Are you a doctor?"Josephine shook her head as she crawled toward Lewis. She wrapped her arms around hi
Lewis was sitting slackly on the sofa, clutching an old photo, its colors faded to a yellowish tint. He studied it for some time before shifting his gaze to Steward, who was seated across from him.Steward suffered extremely severe burns, and Lewis couldn't distinguish even the slightest similarity
Although he was adopted, the Vance family treated him like one of their own and spent a lot of effort raising him.Lewis finished listening to his story with an indiscernible expression and increasing frostiness in his eyes."If it weren't for that, Alex couldn't have escaped his pursuers so effortl
"Mr. Fairchild, it's good to have self-assurance, but not excessively," said Lewis idly as he walked past Seth into the mansion.Seth watched as he left, no longer smiling.In the mansion, Lewis didn't see Josephine anywhere. However, the sofa was in a mess. Discarded paper and crumpled balls of pap
Seth was calmly cross-checking the receipts. He didn't even lift his head when he answered, "I could have.""Oh my god! These were the mess Mr. Hall left in his wake, but nothing like this had ever occurred. Why are these statements all short of a penny or two? I'm almost going blind because of them
Josephine shook her head and sobbed. "I want Mom."Lewis lowered his gaze and fell silent.Josephine held the hem of his shirt and gently swayed it. "Didn't you say you were going to take me home?"Lewis leaned closer. They were inches apart, yet there seemed to be a gaping rift between them. He cou
Josephine was miffed and tried to squirm out of his grasp. She really needed the toilet! She wondered if Lewis had grown stupid as he didn't seem to understand what she said.Lewis' kiss burned with passion. He was like a wolf starved for hundreds of years while she was his prey. Josephine slowly gr
The officers exchanged glances among themselves."You make a good point. But that's one of the doubts we have. Hence our question, Mr. Alvarez. Are Mr. Acre's claims true?" Zach asked. Lewis kneaded his temple and sighed. "Let's not talk about the will first. Mr. Acre disappeared after leaving behi
"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
