There was no answer.

Josephine knocked on the door two more times after that before the door finally swung open. Lewis stood at the door coldly as he looked at her, his stance radiating superiority.

She signed out of habit, “Eat.”

Lewis stared at her fingertips, his eyes darkening. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall.

“Can’t you speak now?”

Josephine stared at his face, merely inches away from hers. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

Her lips were uncooperative, and the pace at which she spoke was slower than when she signed. Despite her prolonged efforts, no words emerged.

Lewis gazed at her indifferently. His thumb rubbed against her cheek before it traced the outlines of her lips.

“What were you thinking? I asked you to come back with me, and you refused, then you went and jumped off a cliff. Now, you’re in front of me and asking me to eat? What’s the meaning of all this?”

She bit her lip, her gaze burning as she looked at him. She didn’t know how to explain any of it to him.

disappointment.

Josephine’s heart sank. She raised her hand and grabbed his fingers, looking deeply into his

eyes.

There wasn’t much emotion in his eyes. The way he looked at her was no different from usual.

Yet, Josephine felt somewhat uneasy.

She needed to express the words she couldn’t speak somehow, so she stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips against his. It was the only thing she knew how to do now.

Lewis was unmoved by her actions. He let her kiss him clumsily, offering nothing in return..

His stoicism shattered her heart. A surge of bitterness washed over her, and tears blurred her

vision.

Before, as long as she was the one to initiate, Lewis would respond to her touch no matter how angry he was.

He had never been this cold before.
