What Separates Me and You

Chapter 339 Mission Completed

“I’ll be right back, okay?”

Lewis’ voice was gentle, like coaxing a child. Josephine pursed her lips, her fingers still tightly clasping his.

Lewis pondered for a moment before turning and walking out.

Josephine stared at his figure, watching as he opened the door before closing it.

She bit her lip, silently lowering her head and staring at her fingertips.

After Lewis came out, he took out his phone to make a call when he suddenly heard the sound of high heels behind him.

He furrowed his brow and turned to look.

As expected, Sierra stood behind him, looking pitifully at him like an abandoned puppy.

Lewis paused his dialing motion, pocketed his phone, and turned to face her.

Sierra spoke softly, “Lewis.”

“What’s the matter?”

Sierra’s eyes welled up with tears. She approached Lewis cautiously and looked at him with tearful eyes. “Why are you being so cold to me?”

Unfazed by her tears, Lewis calmly met her gaze and said, “I have already made myself clear.”

Sierra reached out to grab his arm and sobbed. “Why? Have you fallen in love with that mute, Josephine?”

Lewis subtly furrowed his brows. After remaining silent briefly, he brushed off Sierra’s hand.

“I don’t know how to explain it to you, but I hope you won’t appear in front of her anymore, got it?”

Sierra lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Just when Lewis’ patience was ticking away, she suddenly spoke up, “Can we be like how we were before?”

“What were we like before?” Lewis countered.

Sierra looked at him, tears sliding down her cheeks. She was beautiful, even when she cried. She wouldn’t shout and scream to turn people off. Instead, she looked pitiful.
