What Separates Me and You

Chapter 116 Qualified Owner

Nancy turned around in shock, obviously not expecting that Lewis had returned as well. But she quickly gathered herself and said in a deep voice, “You didn’t even greet me when you saw me, and the first thing you say is ‘Where is she?’ There are so many women here. Who are you asking for?”

Lewis’ gaze swept over Nancy’s and Daphne’s faces as he asked again, “Where is Josephine?”

“Josephine again. All you talk about is Josephine. Do you not see me as your mother anymore?”

Lewis furrowed his brows and walked away. He did not want to waste time talking about useless stuff with Nancy. As he arrived at the door, Nancy said, “Stop right there!”

Lewis did not turn to face her.

Nancy was furious. She immediately raised her voice and shouted, “Lewis Alvarez, I repeat, stop right there!”

Nancy was agitated by his attitude. She said in a low voice, “Lewis, I’m your mother. I won’t harm you.”

Lewis remained silent.
