The world fell into a sudden silence. Even Goober, in Josephine's arms, became quiet. His big black eyes were fixed on the car.A driver emerged from the car and approached Josephine. His tone was unpleasant as he said, "Miss, are you trying to get yourself killed?"Despite sounding polite, his word
Josephine couldn't control herself as the thought appeared in her mind.She even began imagining tying him up, just like what he did to her in the past, until he remembered everything.Ms. Zimmerman waved her hand before Josephine. Josephine snapped to reality and looked at her blankly. "What's wron
Josephine looked at her, pursed her lips, and remained silent.The elderly lady seemed to recall something. She lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed. "Oh right, I should go to work. When I receive my salary, I'll buy you a beautiful dress."Josephine didn't stop her. She let her walk out
Josephine contemplated how to find Phineas. By right, since she had located him, she should resign.She retrieved her phone and considered how to bring up the topic of resigning with Jewel. After all, she had only been here for two days.Even though she could simply leave, it didn't feel right. What
"Alright." The lady quickly tidied the bed. She became even more flustered when she saw the used diaper on the floor.Did the intruder wear a diaper?No way. The intruder must have brought a kid with them. It was her first time encountering such a bizarre thief.She swiftly cleaned up the bed and br
Phineas stood rooted to the ground for a while. A thought flashed across his mind, and he started running.But not long after, Josephine's voice rang out. "Phineas!"Phineas was stunned. He was torn between escaping and staying. He gritted his teeth, and before he could make a decision, Josephine sp
"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
