Fortunately, Tyler was quick enough to react and caught Josephine in his arms. He felt the heat on her shoulders and looked at her in surprise. "She has a fever."Startled, he then called out, "Quick, go find a doctor!"Josephine seemed to have fallen into a long dream where she went back to her childhood. Daphne had locked her inside a storage room. The house was dark, and she was swallowed by the darkness as if falling into a black vortex.She desperately pounded on the door, but no one answered her. When she was in utmost despair, the closed door slowly opened, and a beam of light shone through the crack. It got bigger and brighter, illuminating her eyes.That tall and majestic figure was bathed in the holy light like a god coming down to drive away the gloom around her. He reached out his hand and rolled up the sleeve of his white shirt. His slender fingers then appeared in front of her, breaking through all her defenses.Like the hand of God saving the world, she became his mos

Josephine's fingers suddenly tightened in fright, crumpling the pregnancy test results in her hand. After registering the situation, she flipped the form over on the sofa.Standing up, she turned around and looked at Lewis as she tried hard to calm herself down."I was looking at the divorce agreement. Do you want to have a look?" she asked.Lewis stared at her fingers, then shifted his gaze to her face as his eyes darkened. It was as if the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees.He strode toward Josephine and stood in front of her, extending his fingers. "Let me have a look."The woman’s expression froze as she looked into his bottomless gaze. Her fingers were clenched tightly together."Aren't we getting a divorce? Let me see it." He moved his hand a little closer, his gaze piercing into her as if he could see right through her.Josephine didn't know whether he had changed his mind or had seen through her lie, but she dared not give it to him. She had already lost one

He waved off Josephine’s hand and stood on his feet. “No need.”After speaking, he walked toward the bathroom, and soon came the sound of water.Josephine breathed a sigh of relief and touched her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she felt a wave of panic.She couldn't keep using this excuse for ten months straight.This panic pulled her back from her desire for his gentleness, which was nothing significant.He didn’t love her, just like how flowers wouldn't bloom in the mud. Her love was just child's play to him. After nearly 20 minutes, Lewis came out of the bathroom, and his face seemed to have gone back to its normal expression. He looked at his phone and said to her, "It's ten o'clock. You should go to bed."Josephine lifted her head, but before she could speak, the man had already bent down and carried her in the bridal pose. With her arms wrapped around his neck, she stared at the curve of his chin. Pursing her lips, she silently lowered her gaze. At night, Josephine struggled to fa

At the cafe.Avery had arranged for the meeting to be held at her own cafe. Josephine sat by the window and looked at the wound on Avery’s forehead, feeling somewhat uneasy.Lewis forbade her to meet with Avery. If he found out, he would definitely be angry.Avery thought that she was nervous and patted her shoulder to comfort her with a smile, saying, "Don't be nervous. I'll help you speak later."Looking at the smile on her face, Josephine also forced out a smile. Over the years, she had been too lonely. Apart from Lewis, she had no one else, not even a friend. Everyone despised her. What Avery did two days ago was like Lewis’ sudden intrusion into her life years ago. It was like a beam of light shining in her barren world.After waiting for about ten minutes, a figure hurriedly came in from outside. He shook the umbrella in his hand and walked quickly toward them. Avery stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Colson."Mr. Colson was a short and thin man in his 40s. He wore black-framed g

His voice wasn’t loud, but Josephine was startled.Anxiously, she gestured, “I…I want to…buy something.”“Buy what?”She gulped and continued, “Clothes. I want to buy clothes for you.”He stared deep into her eyes and laughed abruptly. “Buy clothes for me?”The woman nodded.“Josie,” he called her name out of the blue. It has been a long time since he called her that.He touched her cheek softly and spoke with a cold voice, “You know how to misbehave now, do you? Lying without blinking your eyes. Did Avery teach you that?”Josephine’s pupils shrank, and she shook her head repeatedly.The man grabbed her hand to stop her from explaining and hugged her waist with his other hand before planting a kiss on her lips.“Don't be so nervous. I was just joking. So, what kind of clothes do you plan on buying for me?”Josephine’s hands were restrained, and she could only stare at him.He didn't seem to want her to answer either. His fingers moved around her body, slipping under her sweater and pul
