What Separates Me and You

Chapter 36 His Possessive Nature

In that short minute, countless images flashed through her mind. The times Lewis ignored her, his coldness and indifference toward her, as well as the times he worried about her and smiled at her while patting her head.

As someone who didn’t love her, his coldness and indifference were expected. But it was exactly for that reason that she steadied her hand. Her hand holding the pen firmly, she put down her signature, penning every stroke that spelled out her name.

It was time she let him go and released him to the person he loved.

It was also time she set herself free, letting go of her desires and her secret love.

She only managed to sign her first name, when her pen suddenly slid off, leaving a long line on the divorce agreement. The next thing she knew, the divorce agreement was in Lewis‘ hands.

Josephine didn’t know how to react. She could only look at him stunned, pen still in hand. She was at a loss.
