What Separates Me and You

What Separates Me and You by Victoria Wilson Chapter 55 A Life Filled With Disappointment

Lewis used his actions to answer Josephine’s question.

He knew very well that she would suffer in Alvarez Manor, but this time, he chose to agree with

her decision.

The silent woman could only stare in the direction Lewis had disappeared in. A surge of bitterness started spreading from her heart at that moment.

“What exactly am I trying to prove? Do I want to prove that he’s finally understood what I’ve been telling him? Or am I trying to prove that he’s been a heartless man all along?” She thought sadly.

Finally, Josephine returned to Alvarez Manor. Thanks to the family drama, everyone had already retreated to their respective rooms for the night.

She returned to her own bedroom as well. Then she grabbed a clean set of clothes and took a bath

in the bathroom.

When Josephine closed her eyes, countless memories started replaying in her mind like snippets of a movie. It was a mixture of good and bad memories. All in all, she had led a life of disappointment during the past two decades at Alvarez Manor.

After all, she had no idea where she came from or who she actually was.

Josephine could still recall the time when she saw Alan’s face for the first time after opening her ‘eyes one day. Before that, she had no recollection of her previous life.

Alan had told her that she was an orphan named Josephine Vance and that she would be living with him from then on.

Just like that, she followed Alan into Alvarez Manor in a state of confusion and joined the Alvarez family as an outsider.

After that, Josephine spent the next 20 years of her life without knowing what to do.

The universe was never kind to her. Even the only beacon of light in her life had already become blurry and was starting to seem more distant.

Meanwhile, things in Magic Cube were heating up

A certain private room was bustling with activity. Countless beautiful young women who dressed scantily were dancing their lives away in the private room that was lit up by colorful neon lights.

It had been a long time since Fred was able to drink his fill. He dived into the horde of women with a microphone in his hand just so he could dance with them happily.

However, the way he danced was very reserved, not to mention awkward. It made him look like a hilariously awkward fool.

Tyler and Lewis sat together while watching the beautiful women dance the night away quietly. None of them had any expressions on their faces.
