Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2188

As Josephine’s car pulled over, Ethan walked over to greet her. However, he saw a familiar silhouette coming out from the front passenger seat and his eyes widened. It was his mother. Ethan finally realized that the person Josephine took to the hospital was his mother who was most likely testing her.

Josephine looked up and spotted her boyfriend standing at the entrance. “What are you doing here?” she asked in surprise. “Aren’t you supposed to be with your mother right now?” Ethan cleared his throat a little awkwardly before pointing at the lady behind Josephine. “She’s my mother.”

Flustered, Josephine quickly whipped her head around and saw Donna standing behind her with a smile. Josephine immediately let go of Ethan’s hand as she was afraid Donna would take issue with it.

“I do apologize for getting to know you in this manner, Josephine. I hope I didn’t scare you,” Donna said. Josephine turned red and stammered, “I-It’s fine, Mrs. Quarles.” Ethan put his arm around Josephine’s shoulder and made the introductions. “Mom, this is my girlfriend Josephine Jacobson.”

“Please don’t take it to heart, Miss Jacobson. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of mine. I wanted to get to know you.” Donna was apologetic. She knew that her attempt at secretly getting to know Josephine’s personality could make the latter feel uncomfortable.

“It’s fine! It’s perfectly fine, Mrs. Quarles. I hope I didn’t disappoint you.” Josephine was worried that her performance might not have been up to Donna’s standards.

“Not at all. I can tell that you’re a lovely young woman with a warm, helpful heart,” Donna declared. She turned to Ethan and said, “It’s time to eat. Let’s have a meal with Josephine.”

Ethan took in Donna’s expression and exhaled in relief. From the looks of it, she was pretty pleased with her assessment of Josephine. In any case, Ethan firmly believed that Josephine was a very likable person. “Sure, Mom. I’ll make the reservations right away,” Ethan replied.
