Jenna was furious because the man she loved got slapped out of the blue. She stomped over angrily and questioned, “Who are you to slap Ethan?” She raised her arm immediately after, taking advantage of her height and wanting to return the slap to Josephine.
Just as her arm was up in the air, Ethan grabbed her arm and stood in front of Josephine. He warned in a low tone, “Don’t touch her, Jenna.”
‘But she slapped you! You’re the distinguished young master of the Quarles Family. Who is she to do that?” Jenna couldn’t believe her ears. This was the first time she saw Ethan being slapped, not to mention it was by an ordinary girl.
Josephine also regretted slapping him. Earlier, he dashed over and hugged her, but she couldn’t get out of his embrace. Since she was already beside herself, the anger fueled her actions and she accidentally slapped him..
“She’s my girlfriend. The one I love the most. I won’t allow anyone to lay a finger on her,” Ethan declared firmly. His words stunned both women. Josephine never expected Ethan to introduce her so openly.
Jenna, on the other hand, was in utter disbelief. Ethan said this average-looking girl is his girlfriend?! How could this be? Then, what am I to him? “What about me? I’ve liked you for so long. I’ve been by your side for so long. Am I nothing to you?!” Jenna questioned painfully.
Josephine, who was standing by the side, finally understood what was happening. All this time, it was Jenna self-proclaiming that she was Ethan’s girlfriend. Ethan didn’t think of her as his girlfriend at all.
“In my eyes, you’re a friend, but also a sister.” Ethan tried to console her. Tears streamed down Jenna’s face and washed. away her exquisite makeup. She looked at him in despair. “No. I don’t want to be your sister or just a friend. I’ve loved you for three years. I want to be your girlfriend.”
