What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 I’ll Do All I Can 

The contract was left on the table. Derek had already signed on it, but the section which required Lewis’ signature remained blank. 

Everyone swapped glances before turning to look at Seth in unison. 

Derek asked, “Mr. Fairchild, what’s the meaning of this?” 

Seth’s smile never wavered one bit as he picked up the contract and flipped through it casually. 

“Maybe he’s still dissatisfied with a clause or two. I suggest you get your lawyer and have them look through it properly.” 

Derek’s brows remained tangled together. He wanted to say something about it, but Seth was already telling Conrad to leave with him at that time. 

Once Lewis left Moss Corporation, he got into his car and scrolled through his phone. Robert had already sent him a few text messages by then. 

The news about Josephine’s impending marriage to another man and the ongoing process at the City Hall soon surfaced on the screen. Although Robert appeared to show concern for Josephine, there was a strong hint of disdain for her evident between the lines. 

Lewis tossed his phone aside as he started the car hurriedly. Then, he sped away from the company as fast as lightning. 

He drove quickly and even ran a few red lights without bothering to stop. 

There were a few times when he almost collided with another car. Those drivers cussed at him 

whenever he did so. 

The black Maybach weaved through the busy road effortlessly and quickly, causing minor disruptions everywhere. All the pedestrians could see was a black blur streaking past them from their positions on the sidewalk. 

“What the hell? What just flew by me?” 

“That was a car! Seriously, that driver is insane! I can’t believe they’re actually driving like 

this in an urban area!” 

It was true that Lewis was speeding down the road. Soon, a couple of traffic police were hot on his heels. The man started showing off his driving skills since he was an excellent driver. As a result, the other drivers on the road almost suffered from a heart attack 

It was almost nighttime, and the roads were crowded with numerous cars. Given Lewis’s reckless behavior of speeding and disregarding red lights without any concern, it seemed inevitable for him to eventually get into an accident. 

Lewis gripped the steering wheel tightly as he focused on the road ahead of him. His foot was 

already pressing the gas pedal to the maximum by then. 

However, the moment he was about to run another red light on a cross junction, a red BMW rushed out from the road perpendicular to where he was. 

It was evident that the driver of the BMW was a greenhorn. As soon as he spotted the black Maybach rapidly approaching, panic seized him, causing him to steer his car erratically and attempt to turn around. Soon, the BMW would crash into the Maybach. 

Naturally, Lewis noticed the BMW as well. With no other option, he forcefully applied the brakes, simultaneously turning the steering wheel to evade the collision. 

However, due to how fast his car had been going earlier, when Lewis executed an emergency brake, his car careened uncontrollably toward the divider. Despite his efforts to apply the brakes, he couldn’t halt the Maybach’s momentum, and it collided with the divider at a dangerous velocity. 

A loud bang sounded moments later. Finally, the black Maybach’s chaotic adventure came to an end while lodged in the middle of the divider. 

Josephine and Quintin walked out of the City Hall with marriage licenses fresh out of the printer. 

When the driver noticed the licenses in their hands, he visibly relaxed before getting into the 

car and reporting to Robert. 

Josephine stared at her copy of her marriage license before looking up at Quintin. She still found it difficult to accept the fact that he was now her husband. 

Meanwhile, Quintin had a dazed look on his face. He continued staring at his marriage license before flipping it over to check its authenticity. Still, he felt that he was stuck in an amazing 

dream. 

He suggested to Josephine, “Why don’t you punch me in the guts?” 

The latter frowned while staring back in puzzlement. 

Quintin squeezed out an embarrassed smile in her direction. “It’s just that I don’t feel like this is my reality right now. It feels as though I’m still dreaming. Can you punch me once so that I can see if I’m dreaming?” 

Josephine pursed her lips in response, having also felt the same way. 

The joy and delight from getting hitched didn’t come flooding through her senses. It felt like any other day to her-all she did was eat, go for a stroll, enter the City Hall, and come out with a marriage license. 

She didn’t feel anything on the inside. 

Quintin attempted to reach out and hold Josephine’s hand. “Josephine, despite the 

circumstances that led us to marry hastily without much consideration, you’re now my legal wife. I promise to take good care of you from now on.” 

The young woman stared at him, clearly stunned. It was raining at the moment. A heavy downpour rained down on the world in loud pitter-patters. Quintin’s eyes were exceptionally bright under the dark and gloomy sky, as though the sun, which was supposed to be hiding behind the clouds, was concealed in those eyes the whole time. 

After snapping out of her momentary daze, Josephine stretched her lips into a light curl without responding to Quintin’s promise. 

Another voice vaguely sounded in her mind at that moment. 

“I’ll take care of you forever.” 

That voice started to overlap with Quintin’s voice slowly. Just the memory of that voice was enough to stab Josephine in the heart. 

Quintin didn’t get mad at her for not responding. Instead, he turned to glance at the drizzle outside the City Hall. His car was still parked outside Alvarez Manor, so he called Jack and asked him to come pick him up. 

After that, the man dragged Josephine back to the lobby, where they could sit and wait for his ride. He trained his gaze on her face afterward, hoping to carve every inch of her face into his 

mind. 

Josephine was starting to feel awkward from Quintin’s intense staring, so she turned her head to look at the heavy downpour outside. 

She might be clutching her marriage license, but she felt hollow inside. 

It was as though a part of her had gone missing. That thing must have been very important to 

her, but now it was gone. 

The weather might have been too chilly, seeing as Josephine could feel the cold air prickling her insides whenever she breathed. The chill slid down her esophagus and filled her chest 

cavity, causing that area to throb slightly. 

She raised a hand to press it against her heart, feeling as though she could barely breathe. 

Meanwhile, Quintin was still rambling about his future plans. He had yet to buy himself a new house. After Damian froze his cards, he no longer returned to the place he had bought with his 

family’s money out of spite. 

He had been spending his days in the orphanage recently. 

Quintin really wanted to hold a wedding ceremony for Josephine, but his parents would surely object to his decision. 

Honestly speaking, Josephine was a woman without any commendable traits, save for the fact that she was an adopted daughter of the Alvarez family.
