What Separates Me and You

Chapter 250 Waiting for Lewis’ Classes to Be Over

Josephine pretended not to hear Lewis’ command. She put on a fluffy beanie before walking out of the mansion with her head bowed.

It was then Lewis’ mask of nonchalance finally spurted a fine crack. Derek, who was still around, witnessed that tiny change.

However, he didn’t plan on leaving Styx Mansion anytime soon. He wanted to know what exactly happened between Lewis and Josephine.

Meanwhile, Lewis was still smiling as he reached out to tug at his tie with his long and slender fingers. If one were to study his smile, one would realize that it was actually filled with anger.

Derek raised his brow in the slightest arch he could possibly muster. He remarked, “Looks like you got more important matters to deal with. I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Lewis fixated his gaze on the face belonging to the man in front of him once again. “What’s with the rush? I’ve scheduled a meeting with someone. Why don’t you come along?”

Derek’s gaze landed on the other man’s face for a few seconds longer. He remained silent for a moment, choosing not to refute Lewis at all.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Larson hurried out of the mansion as soon as Josephine left. This time, she would make sure that Josephine didn’t get lost out there.

The latter continued walking down the path for a very long time. When she had no energy left, she plopped onto the side of the road and rested there.

Josephine raised a hand to stare at her own fingers as confusion streaked across her

eyes.

Why was her body this weak now?

She only walked for a while before feeling herself gradually going out of breath. Her heart felt like it was about to explode from the exhaustion.

Mrs. Larson reached the woman’s proximity with the intention of convincing her to go home, but she decided to keep her mouth shut upon noticing the stubborn look on the latter’s face. All she could do was follow Josephine quietly.

Then, Josephine pulled out her phone and booked an e-hailing cab.

She set Alvarez Manor as her destination.

Mrs. Larson followed her into the car once it arrived.

Josephine turned around to look at the housekeeper, but she didn’t say anything. They sat in the backseat wordlessly until the cab reached Alvarez Manor.

After Josephine got out of the cab, she stared at the iron gates before her. Then, she took a

deep breath before heading toward the mansion.

The security guards at the entrance recognized her, so they didn’t stop her.

Once Josephine entered the mansion, she looked around the huge hall. There were many familiar faces in the mansion, but at the same time, many unfamiliar people were present as

However, since Lewis never officially announced their divorce, he, alongside the rest of the household staff, still thought of Josephine as the young madam of the Alvarez family.
