What Separates Me and You

Chapter 19 You Can’t Wear This Out

“Come back” were the only two words he sent

Josephine’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Avery, who was still immersed in joy, and silently put her phone back in her pocket.

Avery threw an arm over her shoulder and said with a smile, “You see, Josie, you can. also make money on your own. You can raise your own baby, so why do you need that scumbag?”

Josephine smiled and raised her hand to gesture, “Avery, I should go back now.”

“Why go back? Let’s have dinner together tonight and celebrate.”

Josephine waved her hand and touched her belly. “I need to go back and take.

medicine.”

“Oh right, I forgot about that. Your pregnancy is still unstable now. Let me send your back. We can celebrate after the contract is signed.”

Josephine nodded with a smile.

She followed her out of the coffee shop and got on her motorcycle.

As Josephine was pregnant, Avery didn’t drive as recklessly as she did before. Instead, she drove steadily and didn’t run any red lights. She even prepared a raincoat for Josephine.

After returning to the villa, Avery helped her take off her helmet and raincoat while. saying casually, “Okay, you should go in now. I’ll call you when everything is settled. on Mr. Colson’s side.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Josephine nodded and turned to enter the house.

The villa door was open, meaning that Lewis was at home.

She nervously grabbed onto the hem of her clothes and walked in slowly.

Sure enough, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking on the phone with.

someone.

His legs were crossed, and he had his phone in one hand and the other resting on the back of the sofa. The collar of his shirt was open, revealing the collarbone

underneath.

His face was cold and stern. When he saw Josephine coming in, he spoke into the phone, “It seems like someone is up to something, and it’s not just a small fry Bot

first, find out the reasons for the restrictions imposed by those countries.”

As soon as he finished this sentence, he hung up and turned to look at Josephine.

He eyed her up and down, from her hairstyle to the shoes on her feet and finally back. to her face.

“Where did you go?”

Josephine pursed her lips and stood in front of him like a guilty student.

“I went shopping,” she signed.

Lewis watched her quietly with an indiscernible expression. “You went shopping in this attire? What did I tell you?”

Josephine fiddled with her fingers, stole a glance at the look on his face, and lowered. her head.

“That I can’t wear these clothes outside,” she responded.

He reached out and pulled her onto his lap. With his arms around her waist, he asked, “Then why didn’t you listen to me? What if you encounter bad people, huh?” He placed his hand on her thighs as he spoke.

She was wearing a long skirt paired with a loose sweater, which could be considered. quite modest.

As he trailed his hands on her thighs, he started lifting her skirt, revealing her fair legs.

Josephine sat obediently in his embrace with her arms around his neck and said. nothing in response.

Suddenly, she heard him speak, “Are you short on money?”

When these words came out, her body stiffened entirely.

He lifted his head and met her gaze. The two were so close that she could clearly see her own reflection in his eyes. To be more precise, she saw her stiff and pale face.

His scrutinizing gaze carried a sense of oppression, and Josephine’s fingers were. clutching the back of his shirt.

“Tell me. What are you going to do with the money?” he asked again.

His eyes were burning. Although he sounded calm, Josephine could smell a hint of danger.

She stared at him with a pale face, not knowing how to respond.

He must have known what she had gone out for if he asked this question.

In the past, she wanted to go out to work because she didn’t want to stay home all day, and he allowed it.

What she earned at the cafe had no significance in his eyes.

But this time, she had the courage to sign a contract to do something as flashy as shooting a video for half a million dollars. Plus, she even brought up the divorce. several days ago.

If Lewis weren’t stupid, it wouldn’t be hard to guess.

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, but there was no hint of laughter in hist eyes. It was quite a creepy smile.

“Tell me.”
