What Separates Me and You

Chapter 131 Please Do This for Me

Meanwhile, Daphne rushed back to Alvarez Manor. Seth didn’t go to the company today, much to her surprise.

He was on a phone call in the bedroom while looking quite serious. Daphne halted in her tracks and paid attention to the conversation carefully. Then again, Seth didn’t say much.

He kept echoing a few words such as ‘yes,’ ‘alright,’ and ‘go on.”

Daphne ended up eavesdropping on Seth for a long time, but she was unable to get any useful information out of his phone call.

After Seth concluded his phone call, Daphne swiftly approached him, calling out his name, Seth.”

The man tucked his phone back into his pocket before turning around to glance at her. “Why is your hair wet?”

As he spoke, he reached out to tuck a lock of hair behind Daphne’s ear.

Regrettably, Daphne was painfully aware that Seth’s gestures of intimacy were void of any true emotion. Even the smallest of actions, such as tucking her hair behind her ear, felt as robotic and detached as flipping through the pages of a book.

Daphne could only stare at the man before her, clearly in a trance. The sky remained dark and stormy, whereas the heavy downpour continued. Seth stood by the window, his features growing muted under the dim lighting. However, this very lighting also made him look. extraordinarily gentle and mild-mannered than before. It was as if someone had put on a gray filter that highlighted his face.

As Daphne’s eyes drank in Seth’s features, most of the guilt that had been plaguing her earlier dissipated all of a sudden.

She rushed up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly. “Seth, let’s leave the country.”

The latter was about to place his hand on her head when he heard her suggestion, prompting him to pause in his actions. Then, Seth bowed his head to look at her in confusion. “Why do you want to leave the country out of the blue?”

“I’m scared.”

“What are you afraid of?”

Daphne shook her head in response, not daring to tell Seth the truth. She was worried that her husband might view her as a cruel woman afterward.

After all, Seth had been nothing but a mild-mannered gentleman to her-the kind that would

definitely despise women who harbored malice for others.

A glint appeared in Seth’s eyes as he started stroking Daphne’s hair gently. “I can’t do that. I’m not done dealing with the company’s affairs. If I were to leave right now, everyone would think that I fled the country with the funds I embezzled.”
