F*ck, it’s his, thought Luke. As Josephine gazed at the gift Ethan was extending
toward her, she didn’t dare take it. She guessed that there would be jewelry of some
sort inside, and those things were usually very expensive, so the gift would be on
another level compared to normal gifts. “Please, take it,” Ethan said to her..
Josephine hesitated for a moment, then pushed his gift away. ‘It’s okay. Thank you,
anyway. See you next time.” Josephine chose not to accept it. She feared that if she
did, she wouldn’t be able to give him something of equal value in return.
Josephine got into the car and closed the door. Luke told his assistant Brennen to
quickly start driving and leave the place. He didn’t want Ethan to take even one more
look at Josephine. Ethan stood where he was, watching the car drive away. A hunter’s
look flitted across his eyes.
He was definitely going to pursue this woman. Josephine sat in the car, listening to the
conversation between Heidi and Luke as she filled her mind with thoughts of Ethan.
She wasn’t a fool, she could sense that Ethan was trying to pursue her.
But why was the man pursuing her? Did he think she was different and wanted to play
with her? Or did he actually want to marry her after he won her heart?
If it were the former, Josephine would say no without hesitation, because she didn’t
want to be any man’s toy. If it were the latter, she didn’t know this man that well, and
she realized she never knew much about him save for his name.
After Luke’s car drove into the city, it headed east. Then, it finally pulled up in front of a
row of old bungalows. Josephine and Heidi got out of the car, and Luke
enthusiastically carried their luggage inside as well. Heidi asked Luke to stay for some
tea and rest a while.
Luke couldn’t have asked for a better offer. However, Josephine was quite tired, so
she went upstairs to rest. After clearing her luggage, Josephine lay on the bed. She
didn’t want to do anything. She just wanted to lie in bed.
Just then, there was a notification on her phone. She usually didn’t care about
messages, but this time, she actively grabbed her phone and looked at it. Her heart
skipped a beat again. It was a message from Ethan.
