What Separates Me and You

Chapter 180 Coward

She struggled to maintain a smile on her face as she spoke into the microphone. “Considering that he’s

right by my side,” she began, her voice carefully measured, “I believe there’s not need for me to

elaborate on our relationship any further, correct? It’s simply his nature. He isn’t fond of such events

and prefers to keep his personal life from the public eye. That’s why he rarely grants interviews.

Therefore, I kindly request that you refrain from inquiring about the nature of my relationship with

Lewis. All I can say is if we truly had the kind of scandalous relationship that everyone is betting their

dollar on, he wouldn’t be standing here with me.”

Through those words, she made it clear to the reporters and the viewers at home that Lewis had

willingly shown up at the press conference. Despite the exact nature of their relationship, his presence

there served as a concrete testament to the value he placed on her.

At the very least, it indicated that her status in his heart was unshakable.

Based on his attitude toward the reporters just now, everyone could tell that he was unwilling to attend

the press conference. But he came nonetheless. So, what did that insinuate?

It showed that he cherished Sierra.

The two stood before the screen- one elegant and graceful, the other confident and poised. They were

indeed a perfect match.

At some point, Seth seated himself next to Josephine. “How do you feel?”

Josephine turned her head to glance at him, her gaze flickering for a moment before she silently

lowered her head. What could she feel? She felt nothing.

Seth clicked his tongue and twirled a strand of Josephine’s hair that was sitting on her shoulder. Then,

he teasingly said, “You can’t bear to leave even now. You’re even more

pathetic than I imagined.”

Josephine was slightly taken aback. She bit her lip and didn’t retort.

Seth’s finger moved to her chin. Turning her face toward him, he scrutinized her expression with a

sharp and intense gaze. “Josephine, come with me. What do you think of me taking you away from

here?”

Josephine turned her head away, but he swiftly turned it back to face him.

“What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I’ll hit you?” He even found it amusing as he said it

himself.

Josephine’s hands clenched into fists reflexively. She was afraid to move recklessly because he could

slap her anytime.

Seth asked, “Why haven’t you remembered yet? You’ve conveniently forgotten all about it, haven’t

you? How frustrating.”

As he spoke, the smile vanished from his face. He suddenly grabbed Josephine’s hair and yanked her

closer. “Tell me, do you deserve to die for forgetting?”

Josephine winced as he tugged her scalp, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing her in such a pathetic state, Seth regained his smile. “Don’t be afraid. I’m currently in a

cooperative relationship with Lewis. I won’t hit you.”

With that, he released Josephine’s hair. The next moment, he rose and walked out of the room without

looking back. The sound of the door closing made Josephine flinch. She fell silent for a while,

subsequently recalling that her bag was nearby.

She quickly got off the bed and grabbed her bag from the chair. Soon, she had her notebook in

her hands.

Just as she was about to write something, she looked up at the TV screen and tightened her grip on

the notebook Soundlessly, she turned off the television with the remote control.

She lay on the bed, writing down everything she could remember. But when it came to writing. about

the scene between Sierra and Lewis at Styx Mansion, her hand paused, and she crossed out the

words she’d just written. She decided not to write them.

What was the point of recording things she was so eager to forget?

She put the notebook into her bag and changed into her clothes that were left aside. Carrying. her

backpack, she walked out.

As she descended the stairs, she saw Seth sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee. He was still wearing that

dark red tuxedo. His slightly curled short hair was tucked behind his ears, with at few loose strands

caressing his cheeks.

His attire was reminiscent of the tasteful outfits worn by men during the glamorous flapper era, as

described by Daphne. It gave off a completely different temperament from when he wore a business

suit. The tuxedo made him look suave, while the business suit made him appear noble and elegant.

However, to Josephine, nothing he wore could conceal the innate darkness he held within him now that

she’d seen his true colors.

She’d initially intended to leave, but when she reached Seth’s side, she paused again. Clutching her

bag, she nervously looked at him, afraid he wouldn’t let her go. In contrast to her

wariness, Seth leisurely sipped his coffee without even lifting his gaze.

Since he didn’t say anything, Josephine lowered her head and walked past him.

“Walt.”

Josephine’s steps halted, and she nervously looked up at him.

Suddenly, Seth threw an unidentified object at her. It landed perfectly in b

instinctively caught it.

Upon closer inspection, it was a wallet. She opened the wallet and was astonished to find a

considerable sum of money, all in bills of a hundred dollars. She looked at Seth in confusion, not quite

understanding his actions.
