What Separates Me and You

Chapter 246 My Biggest Regret

The scene frozen in the picture had become somewhat blurry, yet it was still discernible that there were three individuals captured within it-two men and a woman.

As Lewis gazed at the picture, a sense of sadness washed over his face, and his eyes seemed to lose focus. It was as if he was peering through the image, glimpsing a distant, bygone place.

Many years ago, an old man with white hair always sat on the rocking chair by the balcony, staring at this picture as he spaced out. He could spend his whole afternoon looking at this picture.

When someone walked past him, they could often hear the soft sigh of regret from his mouth.

Lewis looked at this picture for a long while. He only regained his senses when he heard someone knocking on the door. He put the picture back into the book and closed the drawer.

When he turned around, he saw Robert standing at the door.

Under the dim light, Robert had his hands behind him as he stared at Lewis with a complicated expression. He was aging as well. His sideburn had turned white, and even his back was slightly hunched.

The two exchanged glances for a second before Robert finally walked into the loft, his shoes. leaving a trail of muddy footsteps on the floor.

“I was just wondering why the lights are on. So, it’s you.”

Lewis didn’t say anything.

Robert walked toward the old rocking chair and sat down. He slowly rocked back and forth, imitating his father’s habit.

“After Grandpa Alan passed away, do you feel as if the whole world is against you?”

Lewis remained quiet.

Robert took out a pipe from the drawer and started rubbing the tobacco leaves. Alan loved smoking like this when he was still alive.

Looking at Robert’s action, Lewis zoned out for a while.

Robert patiently rolled the tobacco leaves and put them into the pipe’s mouthpiece, then lit it up with a lighter. He opened his mouth and smoked. For someone who’s just in their fifties, he looked like an older man.

“I’ll be taking my leave.”

Lewis was about to go when Robert called out to him. “Wait.”
