What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 350

Quintin subconsciously turned to look. As expected, it was Lewis.

It crossed his mind to flee, but he gave up on that idea the moment he saw Phineas.

Lewis waltzed in and sat across from him, giving him a nonchalant glance.

Quintin looked vexed. He awkwardly glared at Lewis and grumbled, "What do you want?"

Lewis' calm eyes lingered on Quintin's face before he chuckled.

Quintin was stunned. He looked up at the man sitting opposite him. "What are you laughing at?"

Lewis replied, "Quintin, are you certain you're not going to get a divorce?"

Quintin leaned back into the sofa, intending to send the helve after the hatchet. He had the air of a knave as he looked at Lewis. "What are you going to do if I insist on not divorcing? Are you here to finish me off?"

Lewis shook his head slightly. "I'm here to have a chat with you."

"We have nothing to talk about."

Lewis asked, "How could that be? You've been addressing Josephine as your wife, after all. That's something for us to talk about, isn't it?"

Quintin frowned. He glanced at him, puzzled.

He had no idea what Lewis was up to. He asked doubtfully, "What do you want to talk about?"

Lewis asked, "Aren't you curious why Josephine can't remember you? I can tell you the answer."

Upon hearing that, Quintin immediately sat upright and stared right at Lewis. "You aren't trying to befuddle me, are you?"

Lewis signaled to Phineas, who understood his intentions and handed the document he held to Quintin.

Quintin took it warily. He opened the file and skimmed through the contents.

It was Josephine's medical report.

He read the report carefully, not missing a single word. The more he read, the more sullen he grew. Several minutes later, he asked, "Is this true?"

"You've experienced it yourself to know better, haven't you?"

Quintin fell silent. Indeed, he sensed something off when Josephine changed her clothes before him yesterday. In addition to her medical report, the answer was evident. "Does that mean only memories of when she was ten years old remain?"

Lewis nodded slightly. "That's right."

Quintin's face was ashen.

Lewis added, "She has totally forgotten about you. The only person she remembers is me. She won't stay with you whether or not you get the divorce."

Actually, Quintin wasn't sincerely trying to get together with Josephine. He might have had that idea before, but all he wanted now was to use her as a wager in his confrontation with Lewis.

Lewis said, "Nothing you do will affect me. Instead, you're only hurting her. In fact, I can bring her to you, and you can live together for a few days."

Quintin was dumbfounded and grew even more suspicious. His eyes swept across Lewis' expression several times to ensure he didn't hear that wrongly. "Come again?"

"I'm not repeating myself. I'm offering you an opportunity. I won't object to your marriage if you grasp it and Josephine willingly stays by your side. But if you fail to win her heart, I hope you'll sign the divorce agreement. You can get even with me via other means to settle the grudge between us, but don't involve Josephine in this. I reckon it wasn't part of your plan to use her against me when you first desired to marry her, am I right?"

Quintin fell silent.

Lewis was right. He was fond of Josephine when they first decided to get married. But it was also because of their ties that the conflict between him and Lewis grew. Thus, he ended up using Josephine to pay Lewis back.

His choice was evidently unjust to Josephine.

He shouldn't have hurt her, now all the more as she was sick.

As someone who adopted stray dogs, Quintin wouldn't have won against Lewis. He had a kind heart.

Quintin faced his internal struggles and eventually looked up with determination. "Alright. Let's do as you propose."

Lewis tilted his chin, signaling to Phineas to give Quintin the freshly printed divorce agreement.

Phineas understood and cast it on the coffee table.

Without further ado, Lewis stood up and was ready to leave. When he reached the door, he looked back and said, "I'll bring Josephine to you. I hope you'll take good care of her."
