My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2096

Hearing Luke’s remarks, Josephine reached out and grabbed her forehead as she

was speechless after hearing his remarks. Luke was wealthy, but there was no need

to flaunt it since it was just a meal.

“Luke, there’s no need to change seats. Let’s just eat here,” Josephine said, and the

next moment, her glance accidentally landed on the man across from her. Although he

was looking at his phone, he was smirking.

Noticing that made Josephine blush as it seemed like her thoughts had been seen

through and that it was as if she refused to change seats because of him.

As soon as the dishes were served, for some reason, she stared at Ethan across from

her and watched how he ate. Ethan ordered a single portion. Since he was born into a

wealthy family, he possessed an inherent sense of nobility that made even eating

barbeque seem elegant.

After a while, Josephine suddenly heard coughs from next to her. She glanced over

and saw Ethan holding a glass of water while his fair face was flushed red. It was

obvious that he choked on the spiciness.

“If you can’t eat spicy food, you shouldn’t have come here. You took it upon yourself.”

Luke couldn’t help but sneer, showing off his quick wit.

With that, Josephine glanced at him before getting up and walking to Ethan’s side.

“Mr. Quarles, are you okay?” she asked concernedly. Hearing that, Ethan raised his

head, and his eyes were so red that they seemed like they had been stung, “I’m okay,”

he replied.

“They are heavy on the spice over here. If you can’t handle spicy food, you can just

have the non-spicy one,” Josephine suggested. “Thank you for your concern, Miss

Josephine.” Ethan smiled, looking very happy. Suddenly, Luke started coughing as

well. Hearing that, Josephine turned around and asked, “Luke, are you okay?”

“I choked. Joey, could you please pour me a glass of water?” With that, Josephine

quickly poured him a glass of water. Luke then added, “Joey, you’re so

good to me.” Josephine forced a smile upon hearing that and returned to her seat.

She had originally planned to have a good meal, but after what just happened, she

me, but I should be paying! How can I let you pay?”

“I told you I would treat you. Are you done? Let’s go,” Josephine said to him. Noticing

that, Ethan also got up and followed them out. When he got to the counter to pay, he

realized that Josephine had paid his bill too. He was stunned for a few seconds and

hurriedly walked out after Josephine and Luke when she saw them leave.

At the door, Luke took out his car key and said, “Josephine, do you want to go for a

drive? It’s still early, and we can have something else to eat later.”

“No, I need to go home and get some work done.” Josephine made an excuse. “It’s

only 7.30PM. You’ll have enough time to work on it after I send you home. Let’s go

and relax a bit,” Luke insisted.

“Please send me home.” Josephine didn’t want to go out with him. However, just as

Josephine was about to get in the car, a man’s big hand grabbed her. She turned

around in surprise, and Ethan pulled her to his side before saying, “He’s been drinking

so you can’t ride in his car. It’s dangerous.”
