"You …" Avery started but realized she didn't know what to say either.Suddenly, from Avery's peripheral vision, she spotted the faint silhouette of a man outside. Avery's eyes widened as she said, "I think I just saw that bastard."Josephine turned to look in confusion but didn't see anything.She
Lewis did not stop when he heard Sierra's words. He went up to her and crouched.Panicked, she wanted to hide her face behind something. There was nothing on the floor to grab. She had no choice but to hide her face behind her arms.When he touched her on the shoulder, she trembled. He wanted her to
After some thinking, Lewis blurted out, "I'll try my best."He did not overcommit. Still, Sierra found his rational answer more reassuring than a confident yes. Based on her past experiences, the more easily he agreed to something, the more likely he'd go back on his word.A promise that he had care
Wendy was simply reminding Josephine that she should save money before leaving Elysium. After that, she could think of a way of getting out."Josephine, what are you thinking?" Wendy waved a hand before Josephine. She comforted Josephine. "Don't be down. You just got here. Your salary will increase
If she always asked him for money, he would notice it. The key thing was that she didn't want his charity.She could leave feeling better about it if she made her own money. She would also be able to leave without anything holding her back.She didn't answer him, so Lewis could only turn to look at
Lewis hugged Josephine tightly, caressing her hair. He said lowly, "It's just some thunder, don't be afraid."Jopsehine's cheek was tightly pressed against his chest. Though the rain was too loud for her to hear his breathing, she could smell his familiar scent.Another strike of lightning flashed o
"From the looks of it, you might as well be the vlogger, and I'll be the assistant."Josephine looked at her straight on. After a second, she said, "Is there something you need me to do?""Of course I do. It's work hours, isn't it?""It is."Then, Yona took out a piece of A4 paper from her bag and h
Josephine was somewhat surprised. Seth had finally messaged her.She hurried to the company's entrance and found Seth's car waiting. She noticed one of Lewis' bodyguards hiding in the shadows, but she saw no need to hide herself. Opening the car door, she got in.Clad his tuxedo, Seth was in the car
"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
