“I know what you’re thinking. Hold your horses, Ellen said, looking up. She blushed right after, then wrapped her arms around his waist as she touched his strong body. She herself found it difficult to endure.
Her husband was charming and handsome, but she could only look at him. The two were holding back with everything they had, for the baby was their utmost priority. “I’m spending the night with you.” Jared decided not to go anywhere, and that he would stay with her in the room instead.
At the moment, Willow was sitting in her own villa, working earnestly on a paper. Even though the atmosphere outside was merry and festive, she was willing to resist the temptation and work hard for her career.
Meanwhile, Elliot and his wife chatted with their friends and relatives on the lawn. There was wine and champagne all around, and also countless stories of life. They felt as if they had gone back in time to their youths.
At around 9.30AM, Josephine and Heidi packed their bags and prepared to set out for the city. Luke had enthusiastically prepared a car for them early on, and he even helped load their bags into the car.
“Luke, thank you so much!” Heidi said gratefully. “It’s nothing, Mrs. Jacobson. If there’s anything you need, just let me know and I’ll see to it,” Luke chimed. He truly liked Josephine, and he had liked her ever since he fell for her at first sight. He wasn’t just aiming to establish a connection with Josephine’s grandfather and his network; in reality, he admired Josephine’s. outstanding qualities as well.
“Come on, Joey! Get in the car.” Heidi tugged at her daughter, who was zoning out. She didn’t know what Josephine was looking out for.
Josephine hastily returned to her senses, then sighed lightly. She didn’t know what she was expecting, either. Some people were only destined to meet for a short while, and their futures would no longer intersect after that.
It wasn’t until she boarded the cruise ship headed for the city that Josephine’s tiny sliver of hope finally disappeared. When she turned around, Luke was smiling at her in fascination.
