What Separates Me and You

Chapter 299

Chapter 299 You Look Old

Lewis wrapped an arm around Josephine’s waist to support her while he flicked the cigarette into the ashtray with his other hand. After that, he poured some water from his glass onto the ashtray to extinguish the embers.

After returning to his seat on the couch, he placed both hands on Josephine’s waist while gazing into her eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Josephine continued to hug Lewis’ neck while scanning every inch of his face. She shook her head afterward before releasing him.

The next moment he knew, she got up to her feet again so that she could sit on his lap. There, she gestured, “I think you look old.”

Lewis didn’t say anything. Besides, he didn’t know what to say as well.

It made sense that the 29-year-old man was quite old in the eyes of Josephine, who thought of herself as an 11-year-old girl.

If one were to have a baby at such a tender age, the child would have grown to be about ten years old by now.

Lewis’ hand found Josephine’s a while later. He used his other hand to tuck a stray lock behind her ear, murmuring, “Yeah, you’re becoming younger.”

Josephine didn’t understand what he meant. She could only gaze at him in confusion.

Lewis’ lips curled into a small yet bitter smile at that moment.

He scooped the young woman into his arms before moving to place her on the bed. “Alright.

It’s time for bed.”

Josephine shook her head in response. “I can’t sleep.”

She had just opened her eyes some time ago, after all. It was impossible for her to fall asleep

again.

“Just lie on the bed, then,” the man coaxed, shifting her so she could lie down.

However, the young woman refused to let him go, seeing as her arms were still firmly circled around his neck. She was acting even more clingy than before. It wasn’t a good thing at all.

Lewis thought for a moment before climbing into the bed as well.

He leaned against the headboard, allowing Josephine to rest her head on his chest with her arms wrapped loosely around his waist this time. She even moved to hook her leg over his. body as though she was a baby koala.
