“I had to attend an important meeting in the morning, so I didn’t get the chance to
see you off at the pier. You didn’t answer my phone calls either, so I thought you
must be mad at me. So, I came here especially to apologize to you, Ethan replied
earnestly.
“What? You called me? Why didn’t I know about it?” With that, Josephine hastily
took out her phone to confirm. Just as Ethan said, there were two missed calls
from him. She was troubled. She must have accidentally missed the calls.
“I wasn’t mad at you, I just happened to not notice your calls coming in. You don't
have to apologize to me.” Josephine felt a little sorry as well.
If she had answered his calls, he wouldn't have come all the way here. Ethan
was still relieved. At least she missed the calls because she didn't notice, not
because she was mad at him.
Josephine’s face turned red for some reason. She was usually bold and
outspoken, but now she had experienced what it was like to be embarrassed.
She didn’t even dare to look at Ethan's face.
This man went to such great lengths just to meet her. Putting everything else
aside, this man knew how to woo a woman. She was actually touched.
“Come here, Brennen.” Behind them, Luke called an assistant who had come to
fetch them. He pointed at Josephine’s luggage, then said, “Help Miss Jacobson
load her luggage into the car.”
Brennen Porter was Luke’s best assistant, so of course he knew how much effort
Luke put in to pursue Josephine. Hence, he hastily ran over to do his boss’
bidding.
Also, he was also quite a perceptive man. When he saw the tall and handsome
figure next to Josephine, he guessed that Luke had met with a strong rival.
“Miss Jacobson, I'll help you with your luggage.” With that, Brennen moved to
take Josephine’s suitcase. However, a large hand pressed on the suitcase,
stopping him. He was even given a sharp look. “Don’t touch it.”
Obviously, only a certain somebody was allowed to carry this suitcase, and
everyone else wasn't permitted to touch it. Josephine was feeling awkward now.
On the cruise ship, she and Heidi had agreed to take Luke’s car home, so if she
refused now, it wouldn't look too good.
“Quarles, can't you see that Josephine and Mrs. Jacobson are getting in my
car?” Luke stepped forward and spoke up. Ethan made him feel very threatened.
At the side, Heidi was both surprised and shocked. Since when had her daughter
gained so many admirers? Two men were fighting for the spot to send Josephine
home; Heidi had nothing to worry about when it came to finding suitors for her
daughter.
Josephine bit her lip and said, “Mr. Quarles, thank you for offering us a ride, but
I've already. promised to take Luke’s car home. Please go back.”
Josephine couldn't back out on her promise to Luke. Also, she was caught off
guard by Ethan’s sudden appearance. She was shaken, and she needed time to
calm down.
Ethan was sullen. He came all the way to fetch her, but she refused his offer to
send her home. Still, he respected her decision. “All right. I'll be in town for a
while, so let's have a meal together sometime,” the man said in a low voice.

When Josephine heard that, she
recalled something her parents
always said. She was their only
daughter, so they didn’t want her to
marry off to someone far away. They
weren't counting on her to take care
of them, but they worried that she
would have to take a long trip home if
she was in trouble. "Okay." Josephine
nodded. This man doesn't live here
permanently. I see... The content is

Ethan still carried her luggage to
Luke's car. When Luke walked over to
them, he thought his car was cool
enough, but he didn't expect to see
the black car parked beside it. He
couldn't help but take another glance
at it. He was quite knowledgeable
about cars, and he knew that the car
was unbelievably expensive. Also,
this was definitely a private
custom-made model. The content is

He didn’t know which millionaire it belonged to. According to what he knew of
Averna, no one was driving a car like that. Just then, Ethan thought of something,
then said to Josephine, who was about to get into the car, “Hold on. I have a gift
for you.”

Josephine was stunned. He even
prepared a gift? Luke was wondering
who owned the car when he saw
Ethan walking to the back seat of the
car and opening the door. Ethan
retrieved an exquisitely wrapped
golden box from it, and Luke's eyes
widened to twice their usual size. The
