What Separates Me and You

Chapter 272 I Want to Play a Game

Damian was shell-shocked upon hearing his son’s answer. He appeared as if he had been struck by an invisible bolt of lightning, standing dazed and rooted to his spot.

He would never have thought that Quintin would marry Lewis’ ex-wife. If he were to marry that man’s younger sister or ex-girlfriend, Damian wouldn’t have looked so shocked in the first place.

“Ex-wife!” The word echoed in Damian’s head.

Seriously, Damian had no idea what Quintin was up to. There were billions of women in this world, yet he decided to pine for the one woman who used to be Lewis’ wife.

Guilt started brewing in Quintin’s heart as he listened to the prolonged silence coming from the other end of the line. “Are you done? I’m going to hang up now.

“Hold on!” Damian roared, “Quintin Fowler, I don’t care why you decided to marry Lewis’ ex- wife, and I certainly don’t care what you think of me! I’m going to tell you this right now- that woman’s ex-husband is currently at Fowler Manor as we speak! You better bring her back home right now, or else I won’t let you off the hook! Ever!”

A deep frown graced Quintin’s features at that moment. Flames of rage burned in his eyes as he gritted out, “Is he nuts? They are already divorced, yet he keeps pestering Josephine! Just how shameless is he to go to our house and demand her presence?”

“You’re the crazy one here! I can’t believe you decided to marry a woman who got abandoned by another man instead of another woman! Hurry up and bring her home, you hear?”

Quintin retorted, “I won’t ever bring her home!”

“Are you trying to rebel against me?”

“Yup! That’s what I plan to do!” Quintin snarled out in return. “I didn’t see you hesitate when you slaughtered my dogs! You’re fearfully quaking in your boots now that Lewis is at your doorstep! What happened to the courage you had when you were slaughtering my dogs, huh?”

“You little-”

Quintin hung up on Damian right away, not wanting to argue with him any longer. In fact, he even turned off his phone out of spite.

He felt guilty for nothing all this time. It turned out that Damian didn’t hesitate to berate him the moment the call got connected, which successfully ignited Quintin’s fuse.

He let out a deep sigh before calming down and returning to the cafeteria.

Josephine found herself observing her husband’s face. His cheeks were still red, most likely due to anger.

Hence, she gestured, “What happened to you?”

“It was nothing.” Quintin pushed his plate aside, still irritated by the phone call,

After a moment’s thought, he added, “We should leave Elysium tonight, Josephine.”

The young woman looked surprised. She had no idea why Quintin decided to change his mind at the very last second. Didn’t they agree on leaving the city tomorrow?

“What’s wrong? Do you not want to leave tonight?”

Josephine shook her head before gesturing, “Isn’t this a little too hasty?”
