What Separates Me and You

Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Lies

Daphne was shell-shocked for a while before finally realizing the meaning behind Lewis’ suggestion.

“You want me to leave the country?”

“Take your husband and son along with you on an overseas trip. That way, you won’t drive yourself crazy with your paranoia,” Lewis patiently advised while acting as Daphne’s caring older brother.

It was as if Daphne merely had a nightmare and was just overthinking everything.

When she heard about the solution that involved her going on a vacation with Seth and Bambam, she was quickly convinced that it was the perfect solution for her.

She did love Seth to the point that she was willing to do anything for him. After all, her goal was to live happily ever after with him and Bambam as a family of three.

“W-Will Seth want to leave with me, though?”

“You’ll have to convince him yourself. Then again, there’s nothing left for him to yearn for in this country. Why wouldn’t he agree to this suggestion?”

Daphne frowned slightly. Lewis was right; Seth was an orphan, so she and Bambam were the only family he had left in this world. Why wouldn’t he want to leave with them?

That was unless he had other plans that she didn’t know of.

Daphne wasn’t confident at all because she knew very well that Seth didn’t care about her.

The reason why he married her wasn’t out of love.

However, she didn’t dare to admit that reason in front of Lewis. Otherwise, the latter would never let her off.

Daphne gradually calmed down at some point. She bowed her head silently for a moment.

“Alright. I’ll talk to him later.”

“Sure.”

The woman raised her head to look at Lewis, noticing the faint smile curled on his lips. He was still the same older brother she knew, but he seemed a little different at the same time.

The man sitting beside her evoked a sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

Daphne felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness stemming from her heart.

She stood up while forcing herself to act as normal as she could. After taking a deep breath, she left the mansion quickly.

Lewis watched Daphne leave before gazing at the burning cigarette between his fingers. Then, he leaned forward and threw it into a glass of water.

A faint sizzling sound echoed from the glass as the cigarette sank to the depths before slowly rising to the surface.

Intuiting a presence, Lewis tilted his head upward ever so slightly, his glance swiftly shifting towards the staircase. He ended up making eye contact with Josephine.
