What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 430

Mrs. Larson stammered, "M-Mr. Alvarez."

The commotion attracted Seth and Josephine's attention.

However, Josephine wasn't interested in Lewis. She only had eyes for Alex. She clung to Seth and refused to let go.

Seth glanced at Lewis with his usual smile. "Mr. Alvarez, you're home late."

Lewis stared at him for a while before looking at Josephine. Then, he remarked, "Mr. Fairchild, are you disappointed that I'm home?"

Seth chuckled. "No, not really. In fact, I'm glad you're back."

Lewis stood in front of Josephine and fixed his eyes on her. But she was oblivious to his glare and hugged Seth tightly.

"God, what do I do?" Seth sighed with a smug smile.

Lewis ignored him and tried to pull her away.

Josephine was annoyed and glared at Lewis. "What are you doing?"

"Have you taken the herbal concoction?" Lewis asked.

Josephine was caught off guard by that question. She pouted and looked at Seth as if he could protect her.

Seth stood up and muttered, "It's late. I need to go home."

She immediately stood up to leave with him.

Lewis grabbed her wrist and stopped her from walking away.

Seth chuckled at the scene and left without turning back.

Josephine struggled to free herself from Lewis' hold. She yelled, "Alex!"

Seth paused briefly and then continued.

Josephine cried when she saw him leave. She tried to chase after him. "Alex, I want to go home too! Don't leave me behind!"

Despite her cries, Seth didn't turn around. He vanished into the night.

Meanwhile, Lewis held her hand tightly. His eyes were ablaze with rage.

When Josephine failed to free herself, she started punching him. "Let me go! You jerk! I want to go home! Let me go! I hate you!"

She was forcefully thrown onto the couch. She felt dizzy and struggled to get up. However, Lewis pushed her back down.

Josephine gazed at Lewis and started crying. It was unclear whether her tears were due to sadness or shock.

Mrs. Larson quietly left the living room upon seeing the scene.

Lewis yelled at her to stop crying. Josephine cried even harder after that.

His veins throbbed in anger as he pinched her cheeks. She felt pain but couldn't shout. Instead, she looked at him through her tears. Then, she furiously punched him while mumbling for him to release her.

He stared at her and slowly let go. Her cheeks were flushed from being pinched.

Josephine wanted to push him away, but he gripped her by the wrists.

Josephine glared at him as a form of protest.

After that, Lewis instructed Mrs. Larson to bring the herbal concoction. She carefully brought it to him.
