What Separates Me and You

Chapter 52 Inexplicable Anxiety

Josephine pursed her lips before turning around to leave.

She arrived at the bathroom, where Seth happened to be washing his hands at the sink.

When the latter noticed her, he drew two pieces of tissue paper from the box and started wiping his hands. “Come on in. I’m done with my business.

Josephine squeezed out a small smile at him before nodding and entering the bathroom.

“The floor’s a little slippery, so you should be care- Before Seth could finish his words, Josephine was already tilting dangerously backward.

Fright and panic were evident on her face as she fumbled around in an attempt to grab something. In a state of desperation, she clasped Seth’s arm tightly.

Seth’s quick instincts kicked in as he reached out to catch Josephine as well. He circled an arm. tightly around her waist, prompting her to collapse into his arms in an intimate and ambiguous

manner.

Josephine raised her head and looked into Seth’s eyes, her arm still maintaining a vice–like grip

on him.

The latter was seemingly stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he could feel his arm, which was

wrapped around Josephine’s waist, starting to burn.

Daphne was right–Josephine did have a pair of alluring eyes. Her clear and innocent eyes seemed

to be filled with endless affection.

Those eyes weren’t seductive at all. On the contrary, gazing into those eyes made people develop an urge to destroy the innocence the owner of the eyes was blessed with.

It was the same urge that most people had whenever they saw adorable baby animals. They had the uncontrollable desire to squeeze and do whatever they pleased with those babies. In a way, seeing adorable lifeforms could invoke violent tendencies in someone.

It was then that a small sliver appeared on Seth’s intricate mask of perfection.

At the same time, two housekeepers happened to walk past the bathroom. The sight of Josephine. and Seth trapped in such intimate positions made them gasp in shock.

When they regained their composure, the housekeepers quickly scurried away.

Seth released Josephine immediately, the slightest hint of awkwardness now present on his face.

“Are you alright?”

Josephine took a step backward as well in order to increase the distance between her and Seth.

Then, she shook her head in response. “No. Thank you.”

Seth nodded slightly before turning on his heel and walking out of the bathroom. –
