What Separates Me and You

Chapter 46 Everyone Gets Lonely Sometimes

Sierra froze in embarrassment. She couldn’t conceal her feelings or her rage. Her eyes darted back and forth, unsure of what to do next.

A few seconds later, Sierra turned to look at Lewis. Her heart sank when she saw the indifference in his eyes. Deep down, she knew.

He wasn’t in a good mood today.

Sierra had known Lewis for such a long time, so she could read him like a book. She may not have known everything about him, but she was very familiar with his behavior. She knew that if she ended things in a fit of anger now, it was very likely that Lewis wouldn’t even bat an eye. After a beat, Sierra tossed the knife onto the table and then threw herself into Lewis’ arms.

“I’ve been anticipating this birthday for an entire year! Don’t you know how upset I got when you sent Conrad to attend in your stead?” Sierra whined.

She knew the only person that Lewis would put before herself was Josephine!

Sierra also knew what words she should say and what manner she should behave in that would melt his heart. The expression on Lewis’ face softened, and he squeezed her waist gently. “I’ll make it up to you another day.”

She looked up at his handsome face and pouted cutely as she asked, “You promise?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re not allowed to stand me up again, got it?”

“Alright. How’s your injury?” Lewis asked as he glanced at her foot.

“Mm, it’s healed up quite a bit. But it still hurts a little when I walk.”

Sierra hooked her arms around his neck and asked coquettishly, “Won’t you carry me over there?”

Lewis didn’t refuse. He scooped her up in his arms and walked over to the living room. Sierra pouted and said, “I haven’t eaten yet. Won’t you stay and keep me company?”

Lewis glanced at her and hummed in reply.

Lewis didn’t turn her down.

She hadn’t expected him to reply so quickly, much less agree with her. However, Lewis wouldn’t hire a person for free. Mrs. Jinkins would have to work hard as a servant to earn her
