What Separates Me and You

Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Do I Look Like a Fool to You?

Seth was right. Lewis had numerous opportunities to discover the truth, but he didn’t. He was proud, awkward, and always said the opposite of what he meant.

Seth saw right through Lewis. Lewis would never admit he had a soft spot for a woman and an unpresentable mute at that.

Lewis’ eyes grew colder as he looked at Seth.

Seth shrugged and got up to leave. “I’m clocking off. See you in the afternoon.” As he spoke, he waved at Lewis with his back turned.

Lewis withdrew his gaze and entered the elevator. He reached the topmost floor and halted when he passed by the office. He subconsciously looked inside.

A thought crossed his mind, and he entered the office. He spotted Josephine’s desk at once.

She didn’t turn off the computer two days ago because she was in a rush. The computer screen was glowing, and her bag was on the desk.

Lewis picked up her bag, opened it, and peeked inside. He noticed the palm-sized notebook. He casually took it and flipped it open.

His face changed when he saw the content. Then, he quickly flipped a few more pages.

The office was dead silent, so the page-turning sound was exceedingly loud.

It was cloudy and drizzling outside, causing the office to be dim. It didn’t feel like morning. Instead, it felt like it was already night.

Several employees entered the office. One moment they were chatting and giggling, and the next, they were stupefied.

A well-built man stood in the dimly lit office. He stood motionless and looked eerie when the glow from the computer screen illuminated his face.

“Chairman?” Yelena called.

Lewis came back to his senses and looked toward them. He swiftly closed the notebook and put it into his pocket. Then, he walked to the door. “Remember to shut down the computer when you clock out.”

Yelena was stunned. Lewis was already gone when she regained her senses. She frantically explained, “Chairman, that desk is not mine!”

Too late. Lewis had already entered his office, shutting her voice out. No one knew if he actually heard them.

Josephine waited very long in the pavilion before the rain slowed down further. She carried the cage, trying to find a mall or a warmer place to stay, but the few places she had tried refused her because of the puppies.

Out of ideas, she could only squat outside the mall.

The puppies were probably hungry and were whining pitifully in the cage. Josephine lowered her head, and they stared at each other, all at sea.

She was hungry too.

She wasn’t only hungry; she was both hungry and freezing. Her legs were also aching to top it off.

There were food trucks selling snacks like corndogs and tacos outside the mall. Although they were cheap, Josephine couldn’t afford any as she was penniless.

Josephine tried to figure out a way to feed the puppies or have them settled down so they didn’t have to starve or freeze alongside her. Just then, a car arrived, and it was parked horrendously in the parking lot.

The door opened, and Seth came out.

Because of the lack of sleep, he looked weary, and his hair was messy. However, his weariness was incomparable to Josephine’s when he stood beside her.

Squatting on the floor, Josephine stared intently at him.

Seth stood before her with his hands behind his back. He bent slightly and met her eyes with a

smile.

He saw the puzzled look in her clear eyes and could affirm that she had lost her memories again. “Josephine.” His smile was faint. His tone wasn’t as respectful as it was suggestive.

Josephine frowned, feeling uneasy.

Seth asked, “Do you have nowhere else to go?”

Although dubious, Josephine nodded.

“Poor thing. You can’t even remember where you stay.” Seth’s smile remained, and wavy curls on both sides of his head concealed his cheeks. His tone was indifferent, as though merely Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

saying, “What a pity your clothes are dirty.”

Josephine was silent for a moment before she signed. “Lewis and I are divorced.”

Seth nodded. “I know. I mean, can’t you remember where your current residence is?”

Josephine was surprised. Did she have another residence? But why couldn’t she recall it?

Seth extended his hand. “Come on. I’ll bring you home.”

Josephine signed hesitantly, “I don’t want to go to Alvarez’s residence.”

“We’re not going there. I know you’re divorced.” Seth burst out laughing and continued, “Do I look like a fool to you?”

Josephine was stunned. Then, she blushed.

She declined Seth’s help and stood on her own. She signed, “Thank you.”

Flickering, the smile in Seth’s eyes deepened, and his eyes turned contemplative.

An evil thought crossed his mind. If he came here and slapped Josephine every day, would she still thank him the next day? “How entertaining,” he mused.

“Let’s go.” Seth turned and went to his car. He opened the car door for her and invited her in.

Josephine subconsciously stole another glance at him. Upon seeing the warm smile on his face, she carried the cage and hopped into the car.

After that, Seth dropped her off at the old neighborhood where Dr. Halliday had found a place for her to stay.

Seth walked to the door and pulled out a key. He opened the door and said, “There you go.”

Josephine was surprised to see him holding the key. Why would he have the key to her house?

“Do you not believe me? Take a look to see if everything else is still in there.”

Josephine marched in when she heard that. She couldn’t pack her stuff in time, and it was scattered all over.

She casually opened a parcel and found it full of her clothes.

Josephine finally believed she had moved here after the divorce. She thanked Seth again and asked, “Why do you have the key?”

Seth sat on the sofa and smiled at her, making up, “You’re too forgetful, so you gave me a spare key.”

The doubt on Josephine’s face intensified. She had the impression that she wasn’t that close

with Seth.

Seth said, “You can check the memo around the house, and you’ll know what happened.

Hearing that, Josephine realized there were many memos around the house indeed. She

hurried over and read them.

Finally, she understood the crux of the matter.

After she read all the memos, she approached Seth and signed, “Thanks for helping.”

Seth smiled. “You’re welcome. You’ll forget all about it tomorrow anyway.”

Josephine’s face changed. She promptly lowered her head, bewildered.

Seth rose to his feet and walked toward Josephine. He tilted her chin up.

Josephine looked up, and her gaze fell on his innocent smile.

He lowered his head and said softly, “Jot down somewhere to remind yourself that you’re divorced. You should paste it somewhere so you’ll see it first thing in the morning every day. Otherwise, you’ll be running back to Lewis again, and that will be troublesome.”
