What Separates Me and You

Chapter 62 Let’s Have a Baby

Josephine tensed. Her face flushed hotly. She looked away to avoid Lewis’s gaze.

Lewis picked her up and placed her in the bathtub. Josephine clenched her fists nervously. She was a little reluctant because her stomach did not feel well. However, she had no power to refuse him. If she were to do so, she would only receive even more violent treatment from him in return.

Warm water washed over her. In the next moment, she was completely drenched. He was indeed helping her bathe, but that was also not his main intention. He would make a move on her after she was clean.

Josephine bore through the discomfort and cooperated until the middle of the night. In the end, she did not even know how she had fallen asleep. Groggily, she thought she heard him say something in her ear. She was unsure, but it sounded like, “Let’s have a baby.”

With her eyes half-closed, she looked at the face hanging above her head in a blur. She relaxed and fell instantly into darkness.

Lewis would not say such a thing. She was probably so exhausted that she was hallucinating.

When she woke up, it was already bright out. She picked up her phone. It was already 10 am.

She felt cramps in her abdomen. She bore through the discomfort and changed into her clothes, then found some painkillers and casually took one.

After washing up, she prepared to head out to work.

Mrs. Jinkins was already preparing lunch in the kitchen. Josephine was about to tell her not to when someone rang the doorbell.

Josephine went to open the door. A middle-aged couple in down jackets stood in front of her. They smiled and greeted Josephine.

“Hello, you must be Mrs. Alvarez,” the man smiled and said. “I’m Patrick Leigh, Mary Jinkins’ son. My mom lives here, right?”

Josephine furrowed her brows. She did not know who Mary Jinkins was. She only knew Mrs. Jinkins.

She gestured at him. “I don’t know who you are talking about.”

Patrick looked at her signing, confused. Was she mute? Perhaps she was just a household staff member?
