What Separates Me and You

Chapter 126 He Was Acting Strangely Today

Lily’s voice cracked as she shrieked at Robert. Even so, she was unable to stop him from ending the call.

When Daphne witnessed her half-sister’s despair, she tightened her hold on Bambam. The baby seemed uncomfortable with how his mother had been holding him, so he started crying loudly, which sounded quite jarring in the courtyard.

Daphne quickly comforted her baby as she walked back to Alvarez Manor. She no longer paid attention to Lily, who was sobbing her heart out on the ground.

Many housekeepers happened to witness this scene as well. They quickly hid in secluded corners while whispering among themselves.

Just as Lily broke down in tears, she received a text message from the same unknown number.

“Come to this location if you want to save your children. Remember, you must come alone. I can see your every move from here, so if you dare to pull off any stunts, you know what sort of consequence you’ll be facing.”

Lily read the text message while shivering violently, her chest already heaving up and down heavily. She was unable to think properly due to the overwhelming anxiety. All she could do was follow the kidnapper’s instructions.

She then got into her car and drove toward the location.

Meanwhile, Josephine and Lewis were having breakfast at the dining table in Styx Mansion. At the same time, a series of crackling sounds could be heard coming from upstairs. Conrad and his men were upstairs doing some work.

They were currently in the process of setting up a safety barrier outside every window.

Styx Mansion was now an actual prison, thanks to their handiwork.

“The weather’s pretty nice today. Where do you want to go today? I’ll spend the day with you. “Lewis suddenly made an offer to Josephine from across her.

Josephine turned around to glance at the weather outside quietly. It was a gloomy and cloudy day, and it looked like it was about to rain at any moment. “Did Lewis really think that the weather is nice?” she wondered to herself.

The man in question raised his head to look at Josephine. “How about it?”

A moment of silence later, she gestured, “I want to watch a movie.”

She couldn’t recall the last time she had watched a movie with Lewis. It might have been five years ago or even further back in the past.

However, she did remember being an eight-year-old when she watched her first movie with

Lewis. The cartoon series she loved the most had been adapted into a film. After Lewis found out about it, he took her to the theater to catch that movie.

Back then, little Josephine sat in the theater in delight. At that time, she felt as happy as the children sitting around her.

Lewis paused in his actions, having recalled something as well. He nodded in agreement while replying, “Alright”
