What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 300

Josephine might be 11 years old mentally, but she still knew what it meant to have developed a sense of crisis. One glance at Sierra told her that she was here to snatch Lewis away from her.

Josephine squeezed Lewis' hand unwittingly. She had exerted so much force that she didn't realize that the wound on her palms started flaring in pain again.

When Sierra noticed how intimate those two were, white-hot fury and jealousy overwhelmed her senses immediately.

Lewis used to take her on business trips in the past, so she had no idea why he insisted on bringing a damned mute with him this time. They were supposed to be divorced, after all.

"What is it?" Lewis' question put an end to Sierra's train of thought. Even his voice was exceptionally frosty.

The latter did her best to suppress her fury as she replied, "Do I need a reason to call you out?"

That reply was barely enough to relieve her anger, so she stepped forward, intending to tear Josephine away from Lewis.

However, the young woman maintained a firm grip on Lewis' hand. She even shot Sierra a nasty glare.

Sierra didn't know that the mute had developed a shameless personality, forcing her to secretly pinch the latter's arm after she grabbed it.

Poor Josephine's eyes reddened immediately upon feeling the pain flaring from the spot.

The reason why Sierra dared to pinch her without caring about the consequences was the fact that she was a mute. It wasn't as though Josephine could cry out in pain, after all.

However, the moment she did so, she felt her wrist getting gripped immediately.

Sierra was shocked, to say the least. She didn't expect Lewis to catch her in the act. At that time, her fingertips were still pinching Josephine's flesh.

She raised her head to look at the man.

The stormy expression on his face was something that Sierra had never seen before in her entire life, which caused her to panic and release her hold on Josephine.

"That's enough, Sierra." Lewis shot her a warning look.

Sierra felt extremely aggrieved at that moment. She glared at Josephine, feeling nothing but burning hatred for her. Then, she turned to look at Lewis. "I've been here for two whole days, yet you never bothered talking to me! Instead, you choose to dine with that … that mute while ignoring me! Have you forgotten what you promised me back then?"

Lewis replied with a question of his own. "What did I promise you?"

"You said—"

Before Sierra could finish her sentence, she saw Lewis shooting another glare at her. Her mouth hung open, but she forgot what she wanted to say all of a sudden.

"Sierra, my patience is very limited. I hope you can be more sensible in the future."

Those words were undoubtedly hurtful to the woman. Her cheeks reddened immediately, making her feel aggrieved and humiliated, especially since many onlookers were happily watching the drama unfold.

She knew that she never had an official title in the past—to think things would remain the same for her now.

Lewis turned to leave with Josephine, clearly not planning to dine in the restaurant anymore. The latter followed him while constantly turning her head to look at Sierra.

That woman kept staring at her as well. Hatred burned in her eyes. Right now, Sierra wanted nothing more than to rip Josephine into shreds.

Sierra had been waiting for Josephine and Lewis to get divorced for ages. However, she never expected to see Lewis getting cozier with his ex-wife instead of proposing to her.

Before their divorce, Lewis still cared about Sierra, at the very least. He would always choose her over Josephine, no matter what.

Right now, the jealous woman had already envisioned killing Josephine over and over again in her fantasies. She wanted nothing more than to make that woman disappear from the face of the earth permanently.

That thought started as a tiny blossom and has since begun growing rapidly. One could even see murderous intent threatening to spill from her eyes.

Suddenly, Sierra heard a light chuckle coming from the side. She turned around to see Seth, who was gazing at her mockingly.

She felt immensely uncomfortable despite the fact that he was wearing his signature smile.

"What are you looking at?!"

With a small smile on his face, Seth answered, "It's only natural for me to watch live drama, isn't it?"
