What Separates Me and You

Chapter 255

Chapter 255 It’s Me, Lewis

18-year-old Josephine might be sweet, understanding, and gentle, but she had also developed a temper of her own thanks to Lewis spoiling her for so long.

It was because she knew very well that she had a guardian who always backed her up wouldn’t let anyone bully her.

and

Even when Daphne pushed her around so much to the point that she got mad, she could always pounce on the former and start fighting back. Sometimes, Josephine could get so stubborn that no one could convince her to change her mind at all.

Back then, she was very confident. After all, Lewis was the source of her confidence.

18-year-old Josephine felt invincible because she was the apple of Lewis’ eye. That was why she was brave enough to fight the whole world.

Some people described her as Lewis’ mutt who often demonstrated a flair of bravado just because he was backing her up. They thought of her as a pathetic girl who treated Lewis’ words like a royal decree; she would gladly do anything he told her to.

Even if Lewis were to command her to jump off a building, Josephine would do so without batting an eyelid. She had faith that he would catch her from below.

If Josephine were to die from the fall, she would think that she had miscalculated the angle before breathing her last.

To Josephine, Lewis was akin to her religion, her god. She was his most devout believer.

Other people claimed that she, Josephine Vance, was nothing without Lewis.

After all, she was just a pathetic mute without a home to return to if Lewis Alvarez had never existed in her life.

Those people were right. Their words had come true.

Josephine’s guardian was already gone. She had become a mutt who didn’t have a home of her

own. Everyone could always come over and bully her relentlessly.

No matter how much she called out for him, he would never appear in front of her ever again.

No one else would back her

Josephine’s eyes reddened as she stared at the man in front of her. Soon, tears started rolling down her cheeks silently.

Those clear eyes of hers started to shatter bit by bit. Nothing but emptiness was swimming in those eyes. All that was left was a barren wasteland of nothingness.

It turned out that Lewis didn’t want her anymore.

Josephine’s hand hung by her side limply. At that moment, she had completely given up on struggling.
