What Separates Me and You

Chapter 279 Vexation

It was a red winter dress. It resembled a sweater dress-possibly modified-with a ring of white fur at the collar and cuffs. It looked childish.

However, seeing Seth’s steadfast stare, Josephine took the dress and entered the walk-in closet to change.

After she changed, Seth pulled her to the mirror. Standing behind her, he grabbed her shoulders and said, “You should wear such pretty clothing more often. Look how well it suits you.”

Josephine looked at herself in the mirror. The dress made her look younger by several years, like a student in junior high.

Seth picked up the comb again and helped Josephine comb her hair. Josephine froze where she

Was.

She looked at the man behind her through the mirror in a daze. He was several inches taller than her.

Until now, she felt surreal to find out she had a brother. It was like a dream.

Seth slowly helped her to tie her hair into a neat bun behind her head using a red ribbon with two white beads dangling off its ends.

Josephine pressed her lips together. The reflection in the mirror felt strange to her. She wasn’t used to this style of dressing.

However, her current outfit and Seth’s tuxedo looked matching when they stood together.

He seemed to favor outfits of this style.

“Alright, let’s go.” Seth put down the comb, held Josephine’s wrist, and walked out.

Josephine followed him in silence. They walked out of this unfamiliar mansion and hopped inside Seth’s Rolls-Royce.

Seth stopped talking to her and drove toward the hospital.

Lewis was still in the hospital discussing Moss Corporation with Conrad.

After all that had happened, they must sign the agreement.

Conrad expressed his cognizance and said, “I’ll contact Derek in a while, then. We could get him to come to the hospital.”

Lewis picked up his phone and opened his email inbox. He said without looking up, “I’ll leave It to you.”
