Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

It had been some time since Peter last saw Josephine, and he missed his
granddaughter very much. As such, he instructed his caretaker to prepare a feast
for later tonight.
Mills’ car drove in first, and Heidi hopped off with the presents in her hands. “Dad,
we have an extra guest tonight,’ she announced, breaking the news to Peter first.
“Who is that?”
“He’s Joey's boyfriend.” “Joey has a boyfriend? Is it Luke?” Peter asked. “No,
he’s a young man that Joey picked for herself and comes from an excellent
family background.”
“Okay, I'll meet him later. Joey isn’t a child anymore and should consider
marriage soon.” Even Peter carried the hope that he would have the chance to
meet his great-grandchild while he was still alive.
A couple of minutes later, Ethan and Josephine. strolled in from the garden. Their
hands were so full of gift boxes that they could barely carry all of them. “Ethan,
just come as you are! Why did you bring so many presents as well?’ Heidi
grumbled as she took the gifts from him with a smile.
“Well, it's my first visit to Old Mr. Jacobson’s place, after all,” Ethan replied with a
smile. When he saw Peter coming out of the living room, he greeted politely,
“Nice to meet you, Old Mr. Jacobson.”
Under the light, Peter observed Ethan carefully, and judging from his looks, he
reckoned that Ethan was of mixed blood. Is Joey going to marry and move
abroad? he wondered.
When Josephine caught Peter staring at Ethan, she jumped in and cutely tugged
on Peter's arms. “Grandpa, let me introduce you both. He's my boyfriend, Ethan
Quarles.”
“Hello,” Peter said in satisfaction after Josephine’s introduction. Ethan felt a hint
of pressure from the air of authority that Peter was exuding. Only those who had
been in a high position for a long time could cultivate such dominance.
“Joey, invite Ethan into the house,” Peter said. Seeing that it was not yet dinner
time, she wanted to take Ethan out on a walk so that Peter couldn't bombard him
with questions. Hence, she answered, “Grandpa, I'll take him for a walk in the
park. We'll be back later for dinner.”
“Okay, go ahead!” Peter said adoringly. Grabbing Ethan’s hand, Josephine
murmured, “Come for a walk with me! I spent a lot of time here when I was
growing up and am very attached to the surrounding area.
Ethan nodded and went with her for a stroll at the park nearby. He knew that she
was helping him, so he followed her as she dragged him out. Behind them, Peter
sighed. “Is Joey going to marry and move abroad?”
“Dad, let her decide on how she’s going to live her life,” Mills said. “But I can’t
bear to see her go! She’s my only granddaughter and I hope that she can stay in
the country. At least I can see her more often.”
Heidi felt the same way and for a while, she wasn’t sure whether she should be
glad or upset. At the park, there were quite a few residents living nearby taking a
walk at the same time. Josephine went over to a swing and sat on it while Ethan
pushed her. Delighted, she started swinging and raised her head to look at the
sky above. The stars and the moon were just as they were when she was young,
but there was another man at her side now.
After strolling around the park, she took Ethan back to Peter's place. The food
was ready and Peter had even placed a bottle of wine on the table. After pouring
a glass for Ethan, Peter said to Josephine, “You can drive later. Let Ethan have a
drink with us tonight.”
