What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 2

Seeing that, Josephine trembled slightly. She thought he was mad, so she quickly signed, “You don’t like the porridge?” 

Lewis tugged at his collar, looking somewhat annoyed. “It’s not that. Finish up quickly.” 

If he wouldn’t eat, Josephine wouldn’t too. She stood up and started cleaning up the dishes. 

Lewis stared coldly at her, wordless. 

Once she was done, she went upstairs to get changed. Lewis was already waiting for her inside the car. 

As the car drove on the road, the scenery on both sides quickly receded. Josephine turned to watch the view passing by outside. 

Josephine first went to Alvarez Manor at a very young age. It was Alan Alvarez who had brought her there. Old Mr. Alvarez loved her very much and treated her like his own granddaughter. 

Before he passed away, he was always saying how he couldn’t let his Josie go. 

Three years ago, as Alan was approaching the end of his life, he urged Lewis to marry her so that he could finally rest in peace. 

He said that he would be worried if Josie married someone else, but if she married Lewis, then he could die with no regrets. 

At that time, Lewis had a girlfriend, Sierra. 

Perhaps it was because they grew up together or perhaps it was because he had made a promise to Alan, Lewis was forced to marry Josephine. He didn’t give her the cold shoulder, nor did he make things difficult for her. 

But that was all. He didn’t love her. 

He would never call her Josie in a gentle voice anymore. 

They became the most familiar strangers. 

Alvarez Manor was exceptionally lively today. They were having a celebration party because Lewis’ younger sister Daphne had given birth to a son. 

Josephine trailed behind Lewis as they navigated through the throng of crowds and arrived in the main hall. 

There, Nancy Alvarez was playing with her grandson in her arms, smiling and laughing. But as soon as she caught sight of Josephine, her face immediately darkened. 

Josephine greeted her, but she pretended as if she didn’t see it and continued talking to her daughter. 

“They say that nephews usually look like their uncles. But I must say that this little guy looks exactly like Lewis did when he was young.”
