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

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

“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
