Lewis might have read Lucille's mind because he added, "It's only for precaution. Don't worry. I didn't steal anything from your home.""What do you mean? Did you know those people would come after you?"Lewis released his grip on the wooden panel, which landed back on the ground and returned to its
Soon, Seth brought a plate of braised leeks over. He sat opposite her and poured a glass of tea for her."Why are we eating outside when it's so cold?" Josephine didn't understand him.Seth smilingly replied, "That's part of the barbecue experience. What's the point of eating it indoors?Josephine d
Phineas and the other two bodyguards got into the car and headed toward the direction the tricycle had left. However, by the time they caught up, there was no sign of the tricycle."Weird, where did it go?" Phineas looked around in confusion. There were many tricycles in the area, and he couldn't t
"But how will you get back?" Lucille asked."You don't need to worry about that."Lucille was fed up with his behavior. The more time they spent together, the more she found him difficult to communicate with. She decided to ignore him and drove away.Lewis kept his eyes on the black horse tied up at
Lewis instinctively raised his hands to shield himself from the falling parcels. He didn't know what was inside, but the impact made his arm hurt. Right after he put down his arm, another object fell straight onto his chest."Go see a doctor if you're sick. What are you doing here?""Can't I even e
Arrik became anxious when he heard Seth's name. "What should we do? Should we inform Mr. Alvarez?"Phineas furrowed his brows and contemplated. "Didn't he tell us not to show up? Let's gather the others first and observe the situation quietly."Phineas only brought four men with him, while Seth had
The smile on Seth's face faded as he stared at her walking away. Soon, she disappeared entirely. Anger washed over him.Sensing his intense effort to control his anger, Winston cautiously glanced at him. He did his best to keep a low profile.Josephine randomly chose a horse and quickly disappeared
Josephine struggled briefly but couldn't break free from his grip. She grew angrier. "Let go of me!"Seth stared at her, reining in his emotions. He released his hold on her.As Josephine gained her freedom, she quickly fled the room.Near the doorway, she heard Seth's voice from behind. "I hope you
"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
