What Separates Me and You

Chapter 286 Let Him Flip Out

Several pairs of eyes fell on Sierra from behind, making her feel very embarrassed. She had never felt

so humiliated in front of Josephine before.

In the past, it was usually Josephine standing in her position.

Josephine was usually the one being humiliated, but what had happened in these few days? Why had

their positions been reversed?

Lewis took a deep breath and lowered his gaze to look at Sierra. With a cold and indifferent tone, he

enunciated each word carefully, “Sierra, get out. Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Sierra looked into his cold and cruel eyes, and panic surged within her. She couldn’t help but feel

nervous.

She even had a feeling that if she defied Lewis again, he would unhesitatingly sever ties with her.

Sierra dared not say another word. She grabbed her bag and swallowed all her resentments and

grievances before standing up. She then gave Lewis a deep look before leaving awkwardly.

Watching her retreating figure, Josephine was puzzled. She glanced at Seth, wanting to ask what was

going on.

Seth smiled and said, “It’s none of your business. Are you hungry?”

Only then did Josephine remember her original purpose. She touched her belly and nodded, indicating

that she was indeed hungry.

“Then let’s go eat. Don’t think about those troublesome things. Even if you figure it out, you won’t be

able to remember them anyway.”

Josephine was stunned. Although what Seth said was true, Josephine felt sad for some reason.

She would completely forget everything that happened when she woke up the next day. Every time she

opened her eyes, she felt as if she were trapped in a particular moment in time, with distant memories

of the past.

There was no yesterday.

After learning about her illness, all the information recorded in her notebooks or phone felt like actions

taken while sleepwalking. She had no memories of them at all.

Although she had accepted it, the feeling of being disconnected from the world and reality remained

clear. Every day, she questioned whether she belonged in this world. She felt out of place with

everyone around her.

She was like an outsider.

Seeing her lost in thought, Seth waved his hand in front of Josephine’s face. “What are you thinking

about? I told you not to overthink”

Josephine snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Seth with a complex expression.

Yet as soon as she raised her head, she saw Lewis not far away. His unwavering black eyes were fixed

on her and their interaction.

There were no visible emotions, but it inexplicably made Josephine anxious.

She immediately lowered her head and went to the dining room.

The food on the dining table was still hot, and Seth had barely touched it. Most of the dishes remained

untouched.

Mrs. Larson called Josephine to the table and removed the dishes that Seth had eaten.

Meanwhile, Lewis went upstairs.

After finishing her meal, Josephine sat on the sofa to watch TV. Seth sat next to her and accompanied

her.

Josephine would glance at him from time to time. With his head leaned back, he stared at the TV, but

his focus seemed elsewhere. He seemed lost in his thoughts.

Josephine actually wanted to ask him where their home was and where their parents were.

She longed to go home.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, as Seth suddenly turned to look at her and smiled. “Why are you

staring at me like that?”

Pursing her lips, Josephine remained silent for a moment. She then signed, “Where is our home?”

Seth’s gaze fell on her fingers. After she finished signing, his smile gradually faded.

“Our… home?” He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a tinge of profound meaning, making it difficult to

discern whether he was talking to Josephine or himself.

Josephine nodded and looked at him anticipatingly, hoping to get an answer.

Seth suddenly reached out his hand, placed his finger on her head, and stared at her for a long time

before saying, “Don’t rush. Wait until you remember on your own.”

Slightly startled, Josephine suddenly remembered her illness. She signed again, asking, “Do I often ask

you this question?”

Was he starting to lose patience?

Seth stared at her with an inexplicable smile. “Josephine, you need to find the answers to

some questions yourself. What others say may not be true, and besides…”

24

His smile faded again. “You don’t have a sense of involvement, just like watching TV. Even if you know

the answer, so what? Could you resonate with the characters? Could you empathize?

Josephine was stunned. She stared blankly at Seth. His words made sense.

Yet if she followed what he said, she would never remember them in her lifetime.

Was she never going back?

Josephine signed again. “Do Mom and Dad want to see me?”

Seth smiled but didn’t speak. His eyes held an ambiguous expression.

At this moment, Conrad arrived.

He ignored the two and headed straight toward the study.

After knocking on the door, Conrad entered with some documents and placed them on the desk.

“Chairman Alvarez, all the procedures have been completed. Moss Corporation’s shares have been

transferred under Mrs. Alvarez’s name. Should we change the name of the company?

“Not for now. By the way, do something about the news,” Lewis said, flipping through the documents.

“Are you talking about the City Hall incident?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, I got it. I’ll take care of it now.”

As Conrad was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned back. “There’s one

more thing. Regarding the news about Quintin and Mrs. Alvarez…”

Lewis paused in his movements. He looked up at Conrad, his expression thoughtful, as if pondering

something.

Conrad didn’t understand what he meant.

However, he still reported, “It looks like Quintin has decided not to divorce. Should we take some

action?”

“No need. Draft the divorce agreement first. Bring it to me when I instruct you.”

“Understood.”

After Conrad finished speaking, he left.

Lewis continued to flip through the documents, but his expression seemed somewhat absent-

minded.

While flipping through the pages, he suddenly threw the documents aside.

The folder fell hard on the desk, causing the other documents to fall to the ground.

As the study door was not closed, Josephine, sitting downstairs, heard the faint sound and instinctively

looked up at the upper floor.

Seth chuckled softly. “Don’t look Let him flip out.”

Josephine seemed utterly confused. Why would Lewis flip out?

From what she remembered, Lewis rarely got angry, at least not before her. He always had a smiling

face.

His current behavior made Josephine’s heart skip a beat whenever she saw him. She felt uneasy.

Seth didn’t answer her question either. He only picked up the remote control and changed the channel.

Perhaps he thought it was pointless to explain to her, as she wouldn’t remember it anyway.

Josephine lowered her gaze and stared at her toes. She didn’t like herself in this state. 2

Suddenly, Josephine heard Lewis’ name on the TV. She quickly looked up, and a montage of images of

Lewis and Sierra shopping at a mall were displayed behind the host on the screen.

The headline read, “Hidden Secrets Behind the Relationship Between Lewis, Heir of Alvarez Corp, and

Sierra.”
