What Separates Me and You

Chapter 197 It Would Be Weird if He Didn’t

Seth smiled and straightened up. He reached out a hand to rub Josephine’s head, but she recoiled from him. His hand froze briefly, but he still placed it on her head.

“I’ll be going first, don’t miss me too much.”

“Madam?”

“M-Miss Vance.” Conrad quickly corrected himself.

Lewis chuckled coldly. “It would be weird if he didn’t.”

though it was never there. He discreetly glanced at Lewis through the rearview mirror again and was puzzled. Why didn’t he take any action even after knowing Seth’s motive and that he would seek out Josephine? Was it because he didn’t care what Seth did to her, or was it because he knew he wouldn’t?
