What Separates Me and You

Chapter 179 Speak, or Else

Lewis put an end to the argument and drove in silence.

Sierra looked away in a fit of pique. She couldn’t be bothered to say anymore and didn’t want to bring the argument further. Every time they fought, they wouldn’t see each other for days.

Josephine watched as the car drove further away until it disappeared from her line of sight. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she averted her gaze.

She ultimately realized the reason he decided to block her. She wryly smiled and walked into the rain forlornly.

Suddenly, a car stopped before her.

The window rolled down, and a man’s voice teased, “Hi there, Josephine. Locked out of your

own house?”

Josephine heard his voice and froze. She abruptly looked up and saw Seth in the backseat. He wore his trademark smile. His wavy short hair was neatly combed back, and only a few strands ran wild. Under the dim light, no one could have distinguished his gender.

Josephine pressed her lips into a thin line and ignored him.

“Are you not coming in?”

Josephine continued walking, and the car followed her. “Walking around at this hour is pretty unsafe, you know?”

Josephine cast him a glance. She thought there was nowhere more unsafe than beside him.

Josephine planned to ignore him, so she continued walking. But the car door swung open, and a hand grabbed her, pulling her into the car.

Josephine was alarmed. She struggled to get up and flee, but the door was closed, and the car was already moving.

Seth’s scent enshrouded her.

Josephine curled up in the corner, watching him with alert.

“What are you afraid of?” His finger touched her cheek and flicked a few strands of hair away from it, revealing her face. He continued, “Look how stupid you are. He left with another

woman, so you can do the same with another guy, right? Now, you’re even.”

Josephine avoided his breath and looked away, wanting to ignore him.

Seth’s smile was unwavering. He stared intently at her and said, “I’ve never heard you speak.”

Josephine was stunned.
