Josephine decided that she would stop asking. for trouble. She would focus on
her goals at work and see if she could become a news anchor before she turned
27. She couldn't be a reporter forever!
Josephine continued in the direction she had planned for her life. Anything
getting in the way of her progress could be abandoned. She wanted to focus on
money and her career. “Joey, come down! Luke is leaving.” Heidi knocked on the
door, calling out.
Josephine opened the door. Luke had helped them out a lot, so she should see
him off at least. When Josephine arrived at the hall, she saw him standing there.
“Luke, thank you so much for your help throughout the trip. I'll treat you to a meal
next time.”
“Next time? Why not tonight? I'll book a restaurant.” He didn’t want to miss the
opportunity. When Heidi heard that, she chimed, “Yes, let's do it tonight! Joey,
you're always so busy with work, so who knows when you'll have the time.”
Heidi was quite satisfied with Luke. After all, she knew his background well, and
his grandfather was good friends with Josephine’s grandfather too. Heidi would
be satisfied if her daughter could get married to Luke.
Josephine thought it made sense. She would have to start working soon, and she
might get so busy that she wouldn't even have time to eat. “All right, tonight,
then. My treat,” said Josephine.
“Okay, I'll be here by 5.00PM,” Luke replied. Josephine smiled. “Sure.” After
seeing Luke off, Josephine was about to leave when Heidi called out to her from
the couch. “Joey, come take a seat. I have something to say to you.” Josephine
had no choice but to sit next to her mother. She then grabbed an orange to peel
and eat. “Tell me, what's your relationship with Mr. Quarles? Why did he come
over to pick you up too?”
“I don't know either.” “Where is he from? What's his address? He looks like he's
of mixed heritage, so is he a foreigner?” Heidi had quite a keen eye, “Probably.
He's probably not from around here. Oh, he probably isn’t local too,” suggested
Josephine.
When Heidi heard that, she sighed and said, “He’s handsome, and very rich as
well. However, we're just commoners, and we just want to live our lives in peace.
So, I think Luke is a decent choice. He suits you.”
“Mom, can I really not marry off to a place far from home?” Josephine asked her
mother earnestly. Heidi gave her a look and even asked her a rhetorical question
in annoyance, “What do you think?”
“Fine, I get it.” Josephine knew that the answer would be no. Actually, she was
reluctant to get married off to a faraway place too. After giving. birth to her, her
mother couldn’t bear another child due to health reasons. Josephine was the only
hope of the Jacobson Family.
She couldn't abandon her parents and grandparents and just marry off to a place
far from home. That would be cruel of her.
Meanwhile, at a luxurious 5-star hotel, Ethan sat on the couch and held a wine
glass in his hand. There was silent contemplation behind his eyes. He never
thought that Josephine would decline his invitation.
He was quite perplexed because no woman had ever rejected him. Of course, he
wouldn't carelessly ask any woman out for a meal either. Even if he did, it was
purely for business purposes. Josephine was the first woman he asked out for
personal reasons.
Just then, his assistant, Louis, passed him a piece of paper. “Sir, this is Miss
Jacobson’s address, which I've asked around for.” Ethan reached out and took
it, his lips curving into a smile. Fine, if she’s not showing up, I'll go to her myself!

Ethan wasn't good at waiting. He
would always find a way to get what
he wanted or to invite the person he
wanted to ask out. After a nap,
Josephine woke up to find that it was
4.30PM. She washed her hair, then
picked an outfit suitable for early
spring. After putting on some light
makeup, she waited for Luke to come
and pick her up. The content is on

Josephine shook her head, chasing
her thoughts away. Instead, she
decided to think about where she
could bring Luke for dinner tonight.
Josephine suddenly had a craving for
a barbecue. All the wedding banquet
offered was fine dining; hence, upon
returning, she craved something
more familiar and closer to home.
