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
The drone hovered behind him, and a breeze tousled his hair. The chilly wind crept into his collar, making him shiver.He turned around and saw the drone. In Josephine's view, he seemed to be making eye contact with her.She had seen him up close many times, but this was the first time his face was
Josephine was about to speak, but she remembered the tracker. So, she kept her mouth shut.Holding Elliot, she approached him and used her eyes to ask how he ended up in her place.Suddenly, Lewis stood up and stared straight at her. He spoke, "Didn't I ask you to return to the country? Why are you
Josephine checked the phone number and felt somewhat shocked. Why would Spencer invite her?She hadn't communicated much with Lewis in the past half month. He seemed to be avoiding her and rarely came back. They didn't even have the chance to talk to each other.She didn't know what Spencer was up t
Avery calmly returned to her seat after negotiating with the waiter. Kieran had already grilled a bunch of meat. He placed them on a plate.However, he didn't eat them. Instead, he kept grilling them as if playing a game.Staring at him, Avery whispered, "How did you manage to bring that gun?"Kiera
Although the incident had passed, Avery was still trembling with fear.Kieran must know that it was her doing, and he would surely settle the score with her later.Avery sighed sadly and gobbled down a few more plates of food.Kieran didn't eat much. He took a few bites and left the rest for Avery t
Kieran's eyelids twitched, but he ignored her. He pulled out a card from his pocket to unlock the door. Then, he turned back and gestured for Avery to enter.Avery sized him up. She thought he probably wouldn't do anything like that. Otherwise, he would have done it back in Golden Francisco.Thinkin
Spencer answered, "I knew you were searching for Raymond, and I wanted to help him recover his memory. That's all."Josephine smiled, "So that's the reason. Thank you, Mr. Leigh.""Don't mention it. Raymond had been staying in the Leigh Residence these days. Would you like to stay at the Leigh Resid
"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
