Chapter 110 I Am Her Husband
“We’re here!”
Bringing the car to a stop, Jonathan turned to Josephine.
“Okay.”
After alighting from the car, Josephine headed toward Empyrean Palace with him.
“This way, please!”
A tinkling voice drifted into their ears the moment they stepped into the restaurant.
Two rows of young girls of about seventeen or eighteen years old stood on either side of the entrance of Empyrean Palace. They were all dressed in traditional attire and dolled up alluringly.
“Do you have a reservation?” A fair and tall girl stepped forward to greet them.
Nodding, Josephine replied, “Yes, the Supreme VIP Room.”
“Please come with me this way.”
Smiling sweetly, the girl led them through a corridor before stopping in front of the Supreme VIP Room.
On the antique-looking sliding door was a painting of emerald green bamboo, while the sandalwood signage carried the word “Supreme.”
“We’re here at the Supreme VIP Room.” The girl stepped forward and slid open the door of the Supreme VIP Room for them. But the second they stepped in, Jonathan instinctively frowned.
The entire room reeked of alcohol and cigarette smoke.
Occasionally, even a trace of cheap perfume permeated the air.
On the whole, the malodor hanging in the air was exceedingly nauseating.
Alas, the people in the private room were entirely ignorant, still absorbed in making merry. When Josephine stepped in, a young woman in a ponytail instantly sprang to her feet from her seat in the corner and sprinted toward the door.
“You’re finally here, Josephine!”
The young woman was none other than Josephine’s best friend during university, Tanya Hazard.
However, she appeared relatively young, seemingly in her early twenties though she was already around twenty-four or twenty-five years old in reality. In fact, she was even a year older than Josephine.
“Give me a hug!”
Tanya stepped forward and hugged Josephine.
While they were hugging, the people in the private room had stopped drinking and turned their gazes to the door. At that very moment, a young man in a black jacket—Kyson Ximenez—stood up and exclaimed, “Josephine is finally here! You’ve all never seen her ever since we graduated, huh?”
“Nope!”
The rest of the people shook their heads in response. Of everyone there, Tanya was probably the only person who had seen Josephine after they graduated.
“Josephine, we haven’t seen each other for more than a year either, right?” Taking Josephine’s hand, Tanya pulled her over to sit down beside her. Jonathan, on the other hand, took his seat next to Josephine.
But no sooner had he done so than Kyson frowned and demanded with his eyes boring into Jonathan, “And you are…?”
“I’m Josephine’s husband, Jonathan Goldstein,” Jonathan answered evenly.
Unexpectedly, his reply had the crowd going into an uproar.
Husband? Josephine is married?
Everyone there gaped at Josephine with incredulity written all over their faces, as though they couldn’t quite believe it.
Kyson’s expression, especially, darkened and turned frightfully grim.
“Is that true, Josephine?” he questioned with a steely look on his face.
