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
Josephine simply wanted to try her luck. She didn't expect Lewis to be there.She flashed him a somewhat awkward smile. "Good afternoon."Lewis stared at her intently. It made Josephine feel a bit uneasy. "Do you think this is fun?""Well, have you eaten?""Move."Josephine sensed a trace of anger i
Spencer's face darkened once he saw the poop inside the diaper. He pinched his nose and stepped back with disgust. "Hurry up and deal with it.""Okay." Josephine picked Elliot up and fled at once. She wasn't in a rush to return to her room. Instead, she wandered around the villa. She'd just say she
A vein on Spencer's forehead popped. "Where are you?""I don't know. There's a pond, many stone statues, and trees here! It's gloomy. What is this place?"The place was indeed gloomy. Although other areas had wall lightning, there weren't any lights here, save for a few street lamps. The trees even
Lewis was already gone when Josephine got out of the room. He had also taken her phone, so she didn't know where to go. Plus, she couldn't leave since Elliot was with her.Josephine sighed while holding Elliot in her arms and walking around the room. Yet, there wasn't anything to see. The place was
Spencer was pale as a ghost, and he spoke urgently, "D-Don't you dare try anything! You'll be my dad's prime suspect once he finds out I'm missing!""Is that so? Let's test it out, then." Lewis exerted some force onto the knife, piercing it into Spencer's palm. An agonized cry tore through the spac
Lewis faced a tricky situation now that Spencer was kidnapped. The situation was similar to when Devin and Spencer previously kidnapped him. He was unsure whether to kill Spencer or keep the latter as a bargaining chip.Lewis realized it was a matter of time. He could drag this decision out, but no
"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
