However, Josephine keenly discovered the car was driving toward the pier. She blinked, wondering if Ethan was about to bring her out to sea. At that moment, she was shocked to see several luxurious cars driving toward them from different directions. Then their car took a turn, and she saw the scenery from the pier not far away. There was a huge cruise ship docked at the pier. She covered her mouth in shock before looking at Ethan. “Are we going on that cruise?”
His eyes narrowed when he smiled. “Yes. My family owns that.” Josephine had witnessed his family’s wealth, so she was not shocked by what he said. “But why haven’t I ever heard the news about your family cruise picking up passengers downtown?”
“This is a special arrangement. It’s here for you.” He looked at her affectionately. She was utterly overwhelmed. “It’s here for me? But I saw many luxurious cars on our way here!”
“They’re just tagging along,” he explained. An overpowering, sweet feeling surged inside Josephine’s heart after she realized Ethan had secretly planned this and even arranged for his family cruise ship to pick her up. He did everything so he could bring her on a relaxing trip.
After they exited the car, the bodyguard carried their luggage on board while Ethan led Josephine forward, introducing the ship’s history. Though he had lost his memory, he was on his way to being back in charge of the family business, and with his intelligent mind, he could understand many things quickly. Before they boarded the ship, the cruise ship manager approached them. “Mr. Ethan.”
He nodded. “You guys can go about your business! I’m just here as a customer to experience the trip.” After that, the couple boarded the cruise and began leisurely touring around the ship. Since he had amnesia, this trip became particularly meaningful.
On the other hand, Josephine had heard of this cruise ship before and knew it was a place to entertain wealthy people worldwide with every luxurious item. Now that she had seen it in person, she thought the rumors were true.
He brought her to the most luxurious suite, a room specially prepared for him that was closed to the public. When she entered, she was bewitched by the view outside the French window. The sea view is astonishing!
Around the evening, the cruise left the pier and continued its route to the following country. Subsequently, Ethan brought Josephine to the shopping floor for a spree. Though she was not materialistic and had no passion for that, he still wanted to give her everything he thought looked pretty on her.
His handsome appearance had caught the attention of many young women, and they were looking at him as though they wanted to swallow him whole.
When Josephine returned from the bathroom, she saw a sexily dressed young lady standing beside Ethan, trying to converse with him and asking for his contact number. With a slightly raised eyebrow, she strode confidently and stopped beside him. Then she held his arm and smiled. “Hey, darling.”
In reciprocation, he held her waist and told the flirty woman, “I have a girlfriend. Please excuse us.” That young lady instantly felt embarrassed. “Excuse me.”
Once she left, he kissed Josephine’s head and coaxed her, “Don’t be jealous. I only have eyes for you.” She shook her head. “I’m not jealous.” You’re just too popular.
On the third day of their cruise, the sea was utterly peaceful, and a beautiful sunset lay on the horizon. However, Ethan had been gone for more than half an hour while Josephine stood behind the railing, taking pictures of the stunning glow. At that moment, she was surprised by the doorbell ringing. Who could it be?
When she opened the door, she was met with four uniformed clothing store clerks. “Are you Miss Josephine Jacobson? We received a call from a customer asking that we serve you.”
Josephine blinked. “Serve me for what exactly?” “We’ve chosen a beautiful evening dress for you and will be helping you with your makeup. That way, you can attend the masquerade ball tonight!”
