What Separates Me and You

Chapter 268 Get a Divorce

Quintin’s expression was a mixture of sincerity and guilt he harbored for Josephine.

Marriage had always been one’s most important life event. Not only did he marry Josephine behind his family’s back, but he also asked Josephine to leave the city with him, which wast probably very distressing for her. Today might be the day Quintin was at his most rebellious. stage over the past 25 years.

Josephine felt as though she was carrying an invisible burden, causing her not to be able to breathe properly.

At the same time, she could feel warmth pooling up in her eyes inexplicably.

The young woman didn’t care about the materialistic aspects of life. Titles and riches meant nothing to her.

All she wanted was a home.

In the past, Josephine thought that home was wherever Lewis was.

She also thought that he would protect and care for her for the rest of her life, just as he had promised.

Now, it turned out that those things were just meaningless thoughts. They were all pipe dreams she selfishly hung on to for so many years.

The moment Josephine woke up, she realized that she had gotten married to Lewis before divorcing him. Up until recently, she had been staying by his side as someone who was both his ex-wife and his adoptive sister. As a result, she became the butt of everyone’s jokes. 1

Robert couldn’t wait to marry her off to someone else just to secure his son’s future.

Even Lewis transformed into someone whom she didn’t recognize at all. There was a gigantic rift between them that neither space nor time could transcend.

Everything had changed. This world and its occupants were no longer familiar to Josephine.

It was as though the world had abandoned her. She didn’t know where to go after that.

The young woman could only gaze into Quintin’s sincere eyes. She forced herself to suppress the dull ache coming from her heart as she nodded slightly with reddened eyes.

Upon seeing Josephine’s response, Quintin was so elated that he happily wrapped his arms around her. “Yes! Where do you want to go? We’ll leave in two days-no, let’s leave tomorrow!

The man continued, “Once I’ve earned enough money, I’ll arrange a grand wedding ceremony for you! Of course, only if you agree to this in the future!”

He never forgot the reason behind Josephine’s decision to get married to him in the first place.

She was left without a choice. Robert’s oppression was the reason why she got married to Quintin in the end.

Quintin was the only one who took the marriage seriously. He decided to fool himself into thinking that his marriage with Josephine was one filled with genuine love and affection so that he could continue pretending to be her actual husband.
