“I was supposed to meet your mother today. If I had chosen not to take her to the
hospital or got someone else to do it instead, then her impression of me would've
been ruined.” All the possibilities were racing through Josephine’s mind right now.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to make a good impression.
On the other hand, Ethan had total faith in her. He knew she was a kind person
through and through. “Hey, now. Don’t dwell on these thoughts anymore,” he said
comfortingly. “My mom likes you a lot.”
“Hey, did you know? When you call me earlier, your mother even asked me if that
was my boyfriend! Do you know how proud I was when I answered her?!”
Josephine’s cheeks were still a little warm from the thought of that!
Ethan laughed. “It's just as well then. My mom now knows how much you like
me.” Josephine smiled. She couldn't help but look at him with love-filled eyes. At
the restaurant.
Jenna and Donna were the first to arrive. Soon, Ethan and Josephine came over
hand-in-hand. Jenna immediately glanced at Donna to check her reaction as she
thought to herself, She must be furious that Josephine and Ethan are being so
lovey-dovey in front of her!
However, Donna showed no sign of anger at all. In fact, she had a faint smile on
her face. Jenna was completely taken aback. What's going on? Did Josephine
manage to get Mrs. Quarles’ approval in just a single morning?
Josephine and Jenna ended up sitting right opposite each other. Jenna fiddled
with her cup of tea as she eyed Josephine critically. Josephine had very little
makeup on today, but her simple, easygoing look only added to her
attractiveness.
On the other hand, Jenna was all dressed up and covered in heavy makeup as if
she were about to attend a formal event. The bright lights in the restaurant only
served to highlight the flaws of her cakey makeup.
“Here. Pick what you want, Josephine.” Donna passed the menu to Josephine
and added, “Go ahead and order whatever you like. Don't pay any attention to
the prices.” Once again, Jenna glanced at Donna with a stupefied look.
“Yes, Mrs. Quarles.” Josephine took the menu and shared it with Ethan. The
server handed another menu to Jenna. As she glanced through it
absentmindedly, her eyes kept roaming over to Josephine and Ethan who were
huddled together.
As Donna took a sip of tea, she couldn't stop herself from observing Josephine
too. There was something about the young woman's confident and poised
manner that she couldn't help but adore. Jenna told Donna that Josephine was a
shallow and materialistic woman, but she saw no sign of that. She noticed that
Josephine was using an inexpensive bag. Her phone wasn't the latest model and
it even had a crack on the screen which Donna spotted across the table.
If Josephine is truly a materialistic girl, why wouldn't she at least get her screen
changed? It goes to show that she lives a busy, fruitful life and doesn't dwell on
these petty matters.
“Please excuse me while I head to the washroom, Mrs. Quarles, Josephine said
as she rose from her seat. “I'll come with you!” Jenna immediately stood up with
a friendly smile. Josephine smiled back at her. “Sure. Let's go.”
As soon as they entered the washroom, Josephine heard a snide voice sneering,
“Josephine, do you really have no sense of self- awareness at all?”
Josephine knew from the start that Jenna was only tagging along to humiliate
her. She turned around and smiled. “What kind of self- awareness am I lacking?”
“Considering how much Mrs. Quarles detests you, you shouldn't even be
upsetting her with your presence.”
