What Separates Me and You

Chapter 232 His Precious Sweetheart

Lewis carried her downstairs to the dining room, yet he showed no intention of setting her down. Josephine felt her face grow hot. She wasn’t used to him holding her in his lap during mealtime, plus she wasn’t a child. She tried to squirm free, but he wouldn’t let her and wrapped an arm around her waist to stop her from moving.

Lewis stared at her for a while, then at the spoon of oatmeal in his hand before chucking it away and tugging on his tie-a silent. atmosphere befell the dinner table.

It was uncertain how much time had elapsed before he abruptly rose from his seat and ascended the stairs without touching a morsel of the food on the table. She was accustomed to this as he would frequently lose his temper during meals, discarding utensils before storming off. Most of the time, she didn’t even know what he was angry about.

He left the house after showering and changing his clothes, except this time, he left her with instructions. “Don’t go anywhere.”
