She must take this slowly. Ethan nodded. “I can do that. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best. My mom will love you.” Josephine nodded. “I’ll try my best to keep this relationship alive.”
“You won’t try your best. You will keep this relationship alive, corrected Ethan. Josephine smiled. ‘Sure. You should go home now.” She stood outside her house and bade him goodbye, then she went back inside.
Donna was really mad. She had just arrived, and her son was already leaving her just to see a random woman. It hurt her heart. Jenna was sitting with her, trying to cheer her up as well as smearing Josephine..
Ethan parked his car outside in case the humming of the engine woke his mother, then he came in through the side door. Just when he was about to enter the living room, he heard Jenna talking to his mother.
“It’s alright, Mrs. Quarles. I’m here. I can’t believe Josephine would tell Ethan to meet up with her, and at this hour too.” And then Ethan harrumphed. “Do not slander her, Jenna.”
Jenna was shocked, and she raised her head. only to see Ethan standing at the doorway, and she got nervous. How long has he been there? An angry Donna asked, “It’s late. Where have you been?”
“A friend wanted to meet up with me, so I went to the bar and said hi,” said Ethan. He didn’t tell her he met Josephine since he knew Jenna must have slandered his girlfriend.
