“I had to attend an important meeting in the morning, so I didn’t get the chance to see
you off at the pier. You didn’t answer my phone calls either, so I thought you must be
mad at me. So, I came here especially to apologize to you, Ethan replied earnestly.
“What? You called me? Why didn’t I know about it?” With that, Josephine hastily took
out her phone to confirm. Just as Ethan said, there were two missed calls from him.
She was troubled. She must have accidentally missed the calls.
“I wasn’t mad at you, I just happened to not notice your calls coming in. You don’t
have to apologize to me.” Josephine felt a little sorry as well.
If she had answered his calls, he wouldn’t have come all the way here. Ethan was still
relieved. At least she missed the calls because she didn’t notice, not because she was
mad at him.
Josephine’s face turned red for some reason. She was usually bold and outspoken,
but now she had experienced what it was like to be embarrassed. She didn’t even
dare to look at Ethan’s face.
This man went to such great lengths just to meet her. Putting everything else aside,
this man knew how to woo a woman. She was actually touched.
“Come here, Brennen.” Behind them, Luke called an assistant who had come to fetch
them. He pointed at Josephine’s luggage, then said, “Help Miss Jacobson load her
luggage into the car.”
Brennen Porter was Luke’s best assistant, so of course he knew how much effort
Luke put in to pursue Josephine. Hence, he hastily ran over to do his boss’ bidding.
Also, he was also quite a perceptive man. When he saw the tall and handsome figure
next to Josephine, he guessed that Luke had met with a strong rival.
“Miss Jacobson, I’ll help you with your luggage.” With that, Brennen moved to take
Josephine’s suitcase. However, a large hand pressed on the suitcase, stopping him.
He was even given a sharp look. “Don’t touch it.”
Obviously, only a certain somebody was allowed to carry this suitcase, and everyone
else wasn’t permitted to touch it. Josephine was feeling awkward now. On the cruise
ship, she and Heidi had agreed to take Luke’s car home, so if she refused now, it
wouldn’t look too good.
have to take a long trip home if she was in trouble. “Okay.’ Josephine nodded. This
man doesn’t live here permanently. I see…
Ethan still carried her luggage to Luke’s car. When Luke walked over to them, he
thought his car was cool enough, but he didn’t expect to see the black car parked
beside it. He couldn’t help but take another glance at it. He was quite knowledgeable
about cars, and he knew that the car was unbelievably expensive. Also, this was
definitely a private custom-made model.
He didn’t know which millionaire it belonged to. According to what he knew of Averna,
no one was driving a car like that. Just then, Ethan thought of something, then said to
Josephine, who was about to get into the car, “Hold on. I have a gift for you.”
Josephine was stunned. He even prepared a gift? Luke was wondering who owned
the car when he saw Ethan walking to the back seat of the car and opening the door.
Ethan retrieved an exquisitely wrapped golden box from it, and Luke’s eyes widened
to twice their usual size.
