What Separates Me and You

Chapter 134 Did Something Happen to Josephine

Despite that, Conrad ultimately decided to interrupt Josephine. “Madarn, I’ve brought dinner. You don’t have to continue cooking anymore.”

Josephine paused in her actions before turning to shoot him another glance.

Conrad continued, “President Alvarez is on a business trip right now, so he won’t be home these two days. That’s why you don’t have to prepare meals for him.”

“Lewis went on another business trip again,” Josephine thought. She stared at Conrad for a short while to make sure that he wasn’t lying to her. Finally, she lowered the kitchen knife in her hand.

Then, Josephine pulled out her phone and started typing on it. “Who went with him?”

Conrad started stammering all of a sudden. His looking away from Josephine was more than enough to answer her question.

It was Sierra.

Josephine’s eyes glistened as she looked at the dishes she had just prepared. After pursing her lips, she turned on her heel and walked away.

Conrad quickly laid out the food he had brought. Then, he watched Josephine eat her dinner quietly.

She was neither angry nor sad at that time. However, her quiet and thoughtful facade was what irked Conrad the most.

He was irritated by the things he had witnessed so far, but at the same time, he didn’t know how to vent his frustrations.

Once Josephine was done eating, she thanked Conrad with a nod.

The latter quickly cleaned up before fleeing from the mansion. Although he had only been dropping by to deliver meals to Josephine in the last few days, he began feeling increasingly irritated and stressed.

However, Josephine was the one who stayed in the mansion every day. Wouldn’t she be depressed by now?
