Josephine took a shower and thought about it, then decided to go out and bid Ethan good night. She wore one of her shirts over her pajamas before pushing the door open. She knew it looked a little odd, but she didn’t care.
At that moment, the man was elegantly opening a bottle of red wine at the small bar. Josephine was slightly stunned to see that. Is he going to get drunk?
“Would you like a glass?” Ethan asked her. Josephine was delighted. She didn’t love drinking, but she didn’t want to miss this beautiful moment. Drinking a glass with Ethan would feel great.
Nodding, she walked over and sat on the chair as she waited for him. Meanwhile, Ethan poured half a glass of wine and handed it over. Josephine took a sip, noting that it was sweet grape wine.
“Delicious.” Josephine smiled. Ethan raised his glass and clinked it with hers, enjoying the wine, Josephine looked at his sexy and charming jawline, not to mention the throbbing of his Adam’s apple when he swallowed the wine, which was almost lethal.
Ethan Quarles was elegant and attractive in everything he did. Even his drinking a glass of wine could make people swoon.
“Cheers!” Josephine also took the initiative to clink her glass with his. Ethan smiled and took another sip. He propped his chin up, and the duo’s faces were instantly inches apart. They gazed at each other under the light, sizing each other up.
Josephine also plucked up her courage under the influence of alcohol, and just like that, she greedily stared at the man’s face. She found a small mole on the tip of his nose, adding a different sense of dimensionality to his appearance.
“Am I good-looking?” Ethan asked her. “What do you think?” Josephine countered. The man chuckled deeply. “Can’t get enough of it.” Josephine blushed, then puffed her cheeks and murmured, “Me too.”
“Is this a confession?” Ethan asked again. Josephine took a sip of her red wine before pursing her lips and smiling. “You can think of it that way.” “Let’s date, then!” Ethan stated in earnest.
Meanwhile, Josephine blinked and didn’t pretend anymore. “Okay, but I have to ask you two questions and you have to answer me truthfully.” Ethan was taken aback but he hoarsely murmured, “Sure thing. Ask away.”
“Firstly, do you have a formal girlfriend overseas?” Josephine asked. Ethan thought about it momentarily before shaking his head seriously and replying, “No.”
“Would your family approve of you dating a girl from a family like mine?” Josephine asked again. Ethan was startled for a moment. After giving it some thought, he stated, “My family hasn’t made any such demands of me. They want me to be with a girl I like.” After hearing this, Josephine nodded and said, “Okay, then. Let’s date!”
She didn’t want to let Ethan go. He was sent to her by fate, so she was determined to seize the opportunity. Whether she was after his money or his person, the fact was that she had fallen for him and had a strong desire to be with him.
Ethan put down his glass and stood up. He leaned close to Josephine, his handsome face closing the distance. Josephine’s breathing hitched as she thought, Is he going to kiss me?
She closed her eyes and let his thin lips press down on hers, but it wasn’t a deep kiss. Josephine was a little confused as to why it was only a brief kiss, but the man chuckled and explained, “Your lip was injured yesterday. You should rest a few days before we kiss again.”
Josephine blushed, realizing that Ethan had noticed that detail. However, she felt slightly unsatisfied. “Okay!” Josephine then finished her drink and said, “I’m going to bed. You should get some rest too.”
At that, Ethan gently bid her good night. “Goodnight,” Josephine turned back and replied before going to her room, feeling satisfied and filled with expectations for the future.
The following morning, Ethan received a call from Jared. Jared thought Ethan had returned, not knowing the latter was still in Averna. “You’re still in the city?”
“Yes, I’m staying here for half a year for now.” “It seems you’re serious about Miss Jacobson.” “We’re officially dating now.” “Let’s have lunch in the afternoon and get to know each other!” Jared invited. “Sure. Let’s meet!” Ethan replied.
