Little did he know he was wrong.Goober behaved whenever Josephine was around. He would only cause trouble a handful of times, but for the most part, he was obedient.That said, Goober behaved this devilishly to everyone other than Josephine.…Josephine didn't trust Lewis to look after Goober well.
Josephine looked at him for a second, then brought the quilts in search of a washing machine. Although the villa appeared massive, it didn't have many rooms.She eventually put the quilts into the washing machine and returned to the living room, where Lewis still sat. After a pause, Josephine heade
Josephine held her forehead and sighed defeatedly. "Is Mr. Coleman's property up for rent?""What?""I'll rent his property for 50 years for the same price it will take to buy it," Josephine explained. "Will that work?""Of course, it will work!" The agent's eyes lit up as he clapped. At the same ti
It was as expected of a woman who had raised five children. She knew her way around things.Lewis saw everything. He felt stupid after seeing Mrs. Murphy look after the child with ease. It only took her one day to overcome Elliot's mischief.…Josephine never returned to Lewis' villa. She only dropp
The wariness in Jewel's eyes heightened as she looked at Josephine. She also recalled how Josephine asked about Vixon the other day. That was enough for her to guess Josephine was after Vixon.Jewel just couldn't understand why Josephine was after Vixon when it was close to bankruptcy.Josephine fel
Mrs. Murphy said Lewis stayed in the house for days. Yet, he headed out and didn't return for several days after Josephine arrived.Josephine felt like Lewis was deliberately avoiding her.She also didn't feel safe leaving her son alone here. After all, she wasn't close with Mrs. Murphy, even if she
"Are you using the defective one?"Josephine stiffened, then glanced at the USB flash plugged into the laptop. "It's blue.""That's it. The blue one is an uncompressed data pack. Any of the programs in it can fry your laptop.""What about the black one?""You don't have to try any of them anymore. Y
Finally, Lewis was back.As Lewis stepped out of the car, he instinctively looked in her direction. He saw her.Their gazes briefly met before he averted his gaze. Pretending not to notice Josephine, he walked toward the villa in big strides.Josephine stared at him until he disappeared. Then, she w
"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
