What Separates Me and You

Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Robert’s Scheme

Lewis no longer continued speaking. He stared at Josephine quietly. Only a sense of unfamiliarity lingered as the two made eye contact with each other.

Josephine looked down afterward to avoid his gaze.

Lewis held her in a tender embrace, letting out a quiet sigh. He gently played with her locks. while murmuring, “Go to sleep.”

His tone was calm once again, as though nothing had happened between them.

Josephine lay quietly in his arms, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat. However, she found it difficult to sleep.

Both of them stayed up throughout the night.

Lewis got up at the crack of dawn. The moment he did, Josephine’s eyes flew open instantly. She stared at the man’s silhouette as he entered the walk-in closet.

Then, she saw him coming out of the enclosed space.

Lewis wasn’t wearing a suit today. Instead, he was dressed in a black turtleneck sweater. His entire outfit was black, lending him an air of coldness and emotional detachment.

He grabbed his jacket and left the room without sparing Josephine a glance.

Once Lewis was gone, Josephine propped herself up on the bed and leaned against the headboard so that she could peek out the window.

It had been a few days since it last snowed. The weather was sunny, so the snow had already melted. Only a pile of ice remained lodged in the corners. The once white and clean world was now left in a messy state.

Lewis headed toward the company without bothering to have breakfast.

He had a board of directors’ meeting to attend in the morning. After that, he would need to pay Moss Corporation a visit in the afternoon. Today was destined to be one of chaos for him.

Josephine’s leg injury was nearly healed. She made her way downstairs and soon arrived in the living room, where Mrs. Larson called her for breakfast.

The woman sat in the dining room. She stopped eating after two bites, realizing that she didn’t have much of an appetite.

Mrs. Larson noticed how bored Josephine looked, so she turned on the television and put on the cartoons for her.

Josephine’s phone suddenly rang the moment she sat on the couch.

She grabbed it, soon noticing Robert’s name on the caller ID. That prompted a slight frown to appear on her face as she wondered if the older man had dialed her number by mistake.

Back when she lived in Alvarez Manor, Robert always treated her as though she was invisible. They barely exchanged a few sentences in one year.

If anything were to happen, Robert would talk to Lewis right away. He would never call her.
