“Are you worried, Mom?’ Seeing the look on Heidi's face, Josephine was a little
afraid that her mother was against their relationship. “I can’t help but worry
because our family is not in the same class as him! The most blissful marriage is
one between two families of similar backgrounds. With such a great difference,
I'm afraid that you'll turn into their servant if you marry him, Heidi explained,
expressing her concerns to her daughter.
“The Quarles Family is too high in the hierarchy and there are only a handful of
families within the country who are comparable to them. First of all, I hope you
won't marry far away, and secondly, I don’t want you to marry into a family of
higher status. I just want you to marry a man with a stable income and live your
life peacefully,” she said and sighed.
Looking into her mother’s worried eyes, Josephine didn’t know how she could
comfort her. In the end, she said with certainty, “But I like him, and I'm in love with
him.”
Even Heidi was aware that no woman would be able to resist a man with Ethan's
looks and status. “I know and I feel you. How far are you guys into the
relationship now?’ Heidi asked in a serious tone, studying her daughter. Blushing,
Josephine answered, “Well... we just started dating.”
Heidi knew that she shouldn't question more. Given society nowadays, it didn’t
matter which stage of the relationship they were in. Josephine was at an age
where she should have experienced it all.
“Alright. Let's see how the relationship goes, then! I'm not against it and will treat
him normally.” In the end, Heidi decided not to place any pressure on Josephine.
Truth was, she liked Ethan very much.
Meanwhile, Ethan was having tea and chatting with Mills downstairs. It also came
as a surprise to Mills that Josephine had started dating a man with such an
impressive background after not seeing her for a week. After observing Ethan’s
mannerisms for a while, he concluded that Ethan was the best of the best and
the elite amongst the elites. The young man’s morals, values, and plan for his life
were all very practical and clear.
At the same time, Mills also found out about Ethan's feelings for Josephine. To
his pleasant surprise, not only was Ethan ready to reside in Averna, he had
already bought a stake in the broadcasting company where Josephine was
working and a villa in the surrounding area. He did all these because of his
daughter.
“Oh, would you look at the time! It's almost 6.00PM and we're still at home. Come
on, Ethan! Let's have dinner at Joey's grandfather's place, Heidi said warmly.
“Mom, I'll be taking a car with Ethan.”
After Mills drove out of his property, he saw a sports car parked in front of their
house. From one look at the color, he knew that the car was meant for a lady and
wondered whether it was Ethan’s gift to Josephine.
Seeing this, Mills hoped that Josephine would look at her relationship with Ethan
with a clear head despite the material gifts, and not get caught up with monetary
gratification. Emotional satisfaction was also equally important.
On the way to Peter's place, Mills filled Heidi in on his conversation with Ethan.
He did so much for Joey in such a short period of time, huh? she thought in
surprise and couldn't help but recall the Presgrave wedding the last time. How
exactly did they get to know each other and be so deeply in love in such a short
time?
“Why is Ethan so attracted to Joey?” Heidi asked, turning to Mills. “Our daughter
has a rather impressive and admirable strength, which is the energy she carries
with her. A determined, persistent energy just like me when I was young.”
“Alright, alright. You can just compliment your daughter without taking one for
yourself as well!” Heidi complained jokingly. Still, the couple was in high spirits
when. Josephine introduced her boyfriend to them. In Ethan's car, it was quiet
because Josephine didn’t say anything. Ethan’s deep-set eyes saw through
everything, as though by magic.
