What Separates Me and You

Chapter 140 Good Dog

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Seth withdrew his gaze and went to open the door.

Josephine took the opportunity to change into a pair of new pants.

When she turned around again, Seth had already left the room, and the door swung close.

Josephine let out a sigh of relief, slumping onto the bed weakly.

Seth walked down the hallway and entered another building. Inside, a man and a woman sat.

If Josephine had been there, she definitely would have recognized the woman. It was none other than

Sophia King

Seth casually sat down and leaned back against his chair lazily. He scanned the two of them. before

speaking “Miss King, why aren’t you by President Alvarez’s side like the dutiful little. servant you’re

supposed to be? Are you here because you wish to flee with me when it all

goes

down?”

Sophia was still in her professional attire. She sat primly in her seat, a weary smile on her face.

“Staying by his side won’t do me any good.

Seth crossed his legs and stared at her bemusedly. “So, you should reflect on your own problems.”

Sophia blushed slightly. “Right-actually, I’m here because there’s something you need to know. It might

be very difficult for you to leave Elysium now should you wish to do so.”

“Who said I wanted to leave Elysium?”

Sophia was taken aback. “So-you

Seth remained silent, his gaze fixed on the pouring rain, seemingly deep in thought. “What about

Lewis? What’s his reaction to the disappearance of his fiancé?”

Sophia’s brows furrowed, and she shook her head. “He hasn’t shown much of a reaction. In the past

two days, he’d been very busy with the company’s affairs, especially with the shareholders’ meeting

coming up soon-I suppose he doesn’t have the time to worry about that mute.”

Seth’s eyes flashed. He laughed. “How interesting.”

Sophia and the other man exchanged a glance. Neither of them could understand the meaning behind

Seth’s words.

Seth stood up again suddenly. “Alright, that’s enough. You can leave now.”

Sophia was slightly hesitant. “But we-we’ve come all the way here already. Is there still a chance for us

to turn back?”

Seth turned and glanced at her. “Why not? Lewis already knows that you’re planted at his side by

someone else. He just doesn’t know who.”

Sophia frowned, slightly surprised. “So, does that mean he already-”

Seth smiled. “Don’t worry. It has nothing to do with you nor your charms.”

Despite feeling exposed, Sophia did not bother to blush. Instead, she stood up and said, “I’ll take my

leave then.”

The man left along with her.

Soon, the homestead regained its initial silence.

Seth stood by the entrance, his head slightly lifted as he watched the rain drip from the roofs.

Josephine sat in the building for a while before she heard the faint sound of a vehicle and rushed to the

door. She pushed the door open to a slight crack and saw a white car leaving the homestead. However,

she hadn’t been able to memorize the car’s license plate number before a figure obstructed the door

crack.

Josephine grabbed the door frame and raised her head. It was then that she saw Seth’s smiling face

through the door.

She swallowed, finding herself trapped in a dilemma.

Seth pushed the door open and asked, “Can you cook?”

Josephine nodded.

“Go, then.”

Josephine froze, suspecting that she’d misheard him. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Seth continued, “There are raincoats in the sitting room, and the kitchen is to the left. Vegetables are in

the yard. There are some in the backyard too. There are only the two of us here. Now go. Make

dinner.”

When he’d finished, Josephine immediately walked out with her head bowed.

She went to the living room first and caught sight of three glasses on the coffee table.

So, whoever it had been earlier-Seth had known them.

She suppressed her thoughts and glanced around the room. Her gaze landed on the raincoats in the

corner.

Swiftly, she put the raincoat on and changed into rain boots before heading out to the backyard.

As soon as she reached the backyard, Josephine was stunned.

Vast tracts of land were dedicated to growing an assortment of vegetables, complemented by the

presence of several greenhouses. This place truly was a farming homestead.

The homestead was surrounded by stretches of mountains as well. She almost had no chance of

escaping, nor did she see any possible escape routes. No wonder Seth had allowed her to harvest the

vegetables in the backyard without taking any further measures.

Josephine carried a basket and headed over to the vegetable garden. There seemed to be everything

there. She saw pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes-

Seth stood in the attic high above the homestead, leaning against the windowsill as he observed her in

the backyard.

From this angle, Josephine looked incredibly petite in her raincoat, her basket swaying as she

stumbled along, tripping over a few times.

As he observed her, the trademark smile that adorned the corners of his lips changed. He watched her

figure, but his eyes were distant.

In his mind, there was another memory of a different figure stumbling along and falling into his lap

multiple times.
