Conrad was a bit puzzled, but he complied, "Yes."Lewis' gaze was deep. No one knew what was going through his mind, but one thing was certain. He wasn't in a good mood right now.Meanwhile, Phineas, who was waiting outside the forest with the others, received a call. He was equally perplexed, but h

Though his eyes lacked emotion, Josephine sensed a hint of stubbornness in his voice.She lowered her gaze to conceal the mockery in her eyes. "I thought you were embarrassed when I was a mute?""So that's what you thought."Josephine looked at him. "Weren't you?""Think whatever you want." Lewis pa

"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
