What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 433

Nancy looked suspiciously at Kiran. She didn't believe that he was here just to make friends.

Nancy felt irritated and looked away. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to Kiran.

Milo sensed the tense atmosphere, so he stood up and greeted Kiran. "I'm flattered, President Kiran. I'm not that famous."

"Please take it as a compliment. Do you have other appointments after this?" asked Kiran.

"I … " Milo knew Kiran had something to talk to him. He briefly contemplated before replying, "I have something to attend to. Mrs. Alvarez. I shall take my leave now."

She nodded. Since she needed to find the other will, she was not in the mood to entertain any visitors.

Milo and Kiran exchanged glances. When they were about to leave, someone appeared by the door.

"Mr. Lewis," the maids greeted.

All eyes were on the door.

Lewis and Conrad strode into the house.

Kiran smiled.

Lewis approached them and asked, "Is there something special today? What's with the crowd?"

Nancy pulled a long face. The matter itself was a humiliation. Lewis' presence only added to the level of disgrace.

Nancy was the lady of the house. Yet, she had sought a lawyer because she was unhappy with how the inheritance got divided. It wouldn't do her good if words got out.

Kiran greeted, "Chairman Alvarez, you came just at the right time. We were talking about the inheritance. Although Mr. Acre has passed away, we found Mr. Waverly. I'm sure we can clear your name with his help."

Lewis turned his gaze to Milo and smiled. "Really? I didn't know you were worried about me, President Kiran. I guess I should thank you?"

"Save it. It is my honor to be of your help." Kiran nodded lightly at him. "Now that you're here, I shouldn't get in the way of your quality time with Mrs. Alvarez. Bye."

Lewis merely glanced at him. He said nothing.

Kiran did not mind his silence. He left the place with his men. As sudden as his visit was, he left as quickly.

Looking around hesitantly, Milo eventually decided to leave.

Nancy, who seemed awkward, looked at Lewis. "Lewis …"

Lewis didn't spare Nancy a glance. He passed by her and sat on the couch with his legs crossed.

Then, he stared at Nancy as if he was interrogating her.

Nancy's face went stiff. She took a seat and smiled wryly at him. "Lewis, why are you here?"

He looked at Nancy emotionlessly. "Are you trying to say there's no place for me in this house?"

"I don't mean it that way. I'm just asking why are you suddenly back home. Why didn't you inform me earlier? I could've asked the maids to prepare something."

Nancy continued, "Look at you. You're overthinking. This is your house, and I am your mother. How is there no place for you? Who amongst the family dares to defy you?"

His smile widened with hints of mockery. "Did you get your answer?"

"What?" She didn't understand.

He hinted, "The other will."

Her face lost color, but she managed to put on a smile. "What other will? That's nonsense. I invited Mr. Waverly to discuss matters concerning those illegitimate children."

Nancy pressed on. "They've been coming by multiple times in the last two days. I can't get rid of them. I've even reported it to the police twice. I'm so fed up with them."

He arched a brow. "Oh?"

"Yeah. Why would I lie to you?"

Lewis became quiet. Consequently, Nancy felt even more uneasy. Various thoughts crossed her mind. She stood up and moved to sit next to him.

She spoke earnestly, "Lewis, I'm your biological mother. Others might hurt you, but I will never do that."
