What Separates Me and You

Chapter 260 Unspoken Concern

Josephine was already tired by then. Even though she was still sitting on the couch, she could feel her heavy eyelids sliding shut uncontrollably. The moment they did, she forcibly snapped them open in an attempt to wake up. Just like that, she was stuck in a never-ending cycle of sleeping and waking up.

She was still stuck in a sleepy haze when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching her from behind. Josephine cracked her eyes open to look at Lewis blearily.

He looked down at her, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Then, he raised a hand and attempted to place it on Josephine’s cheek. Her first instinct was to dodge out of the way, but she forced herself to suppress that urge.

Lewis’ hand stopped a few inches away from her face. He chose not to touch her at all after seeing her reaction. Eventually, he retracted his hand quietly.

The silence was torturous for Josephine.

She didn’t know what the man was thinking.

His phone rang again, prompting him to pull it out and look at the screen. After activating the silent mode, he threw it onto the couch casually.

This time, Lewis walked toward Josephine and sat down next to her. He decided to speak to her at that moment. “Where are you sleeping?”

The latter was surprised upon hearing that question. She glanced at the couch before signing that she was fine with where she was.

Lewis stared blankly at her for a while before replying, “Do whatever you like.”

After that, he stood up from the couch, grabbed his phone, and headed upstairs without looking back at her. Next, Josephine could hear a door slam loudly in the distance.

The man never came downstairs that night.

Josephine curled up on the couch, her eyes heavy with sleep, and conked out right away.

The couch might be narrow, but it was wide enough to accommodate her. She felt incredibly safe there.

Now that Josephine’s knee got injured, she kept to herself and lay low in the mansion. She could only stay in the mansion for the next two weeks.
