Hearing that, Ethan instantly knew that the useless man wasn’t only after Josephine’s beauty but also her background. Certainly, he couldn’t let the woman end up with such a man.
“I’ll find out in the future,” Ethan replied languidly and walked toward his convertible. Since the villa was some distance away, it’d be more convenient for him to drive. “Go back to your friends, Luke. Don’t worry about me.”
“I…” “I’ll treat you to a meal someday!” Josephine lied. “Will you really do that?” Luke’s eyes brightened. “I’m serious. Off you go, now!” Josephine decided to make him leave first.
“Alright. You mustn’t let this jerk take advantage of you, alright? If he dares to molest you, I’ll beat him up.”
“Are you sure you can defeat me?” Ethan sneered. “I’ll ask someone else to beat you up!” Luke barked. “Goodbye, then!” Josephine urged. However, Luke remained in the same spot. It wasn’t until they were out of sight that he left.
Presently, Selena felt bored. Although all she thought about was Ethan, the man was nowhere to be seen. He must’ve left.
She picked up her bag and shuffled toward the car park, where she saw a convertible being revved up. Upon closer inspection, she was elated. Ethan is over there!
Realizing that the man hadn’t left, she joyfully jogged toward him. “Mr. Quarles! Mr. Quarles!” Nevertheless, the moment she reached the car, she saw a woman in the passenger seat. The woman was none other than Josephine.
Her expression changed as she glared at Josephine. Following that, she put on a smile and pleaded, “Can you send me back to my villa, Mr. Quarles?” There were two seats at the back. While Ethan was hesitating, Selena opened the door and entered the vehicle.
“Thanks.” Josephine turned her head and asked, “Don’t you want to stay here for a while longer, Miss. Aguirre?”
“I’m no longer in the mood because of a certain someone, Selena said meaningfully. Josephine was rendered speechless for a moment before she said to Ethan, “Please send us back.”
Ethan then stepped on the gas pedal. Since Selena’s villa wasn’t far away, it only took them five minutes to arrive at their destination. At the same time, Josephine left the vehicle.
The man was reluctant to part ways with Josephine, and he initially thought he could spend more time with her.
“Thanks for everything, Mr. Quarles, Josephine said gratefully. She had to acknowledge that the man had helped her a lot. “See you, Mr. Quarles! Stay safe!” Selena waved her hand elegantly. Ethan turned the car around and stared at Josephine for a few seconds before stepping on the gas pedal.
Josephine let out a sigh of relief, for she finally parted ways with the man. Just as she was ready to return to her villa, the other woman demanded resentfully from behind, “Stay right there!”
Hearing that, Josephine stopped in her tracks and turned around. Under the lamplights, Selena crossed her arms and glowered at her. “I’ve underestimated you, Josephine. I didn’t expect you to be so crafty. Ethan is the man I have my eyes on. How could you try to snatch him from me?”
Josephine was dumbfounded for a moment. “Are you saying that the man belongs to you just because you have your eye on him?” “Yes, that’s correct,” Selena replied unreasonably.
“Whatever you say. Either way, I won’t come into contact with Ethan again. I hope you’ll marry him sooner and give birth to his kids,” Josephine said rather sincerely. “You…” Selena, on the other hand, was incensed. She’s mocking me!
Josephine ignored her and tottered toward her house. As Selena looked at her from behind, she assumed that the woman was putting on an act. It was just a tactic to seduce Ethan. I have to do something about it.
Ethan soon returned to his villa, which was near Jared’s place. It was also a larger villa compared to the others. As he was seated on the couch, he realized that his mind was occupied by a certain woman.
Images of Josephine flashed across his mind like a movie. Her smile, her fury, her sharp tongue, her aggressiveness, her unreasonable side… All her shortcomings didn’t seem to matter, and he even found them interesting.
Damn it! That doesn’t sound good. The next morning, the wedding that the guests had been waiting for finally commenced.
At 6.00AM, a team of makeup artists arrived at the lounge beside the bride’s room, and it wasn’t until 7.30AM that they saw the bride. Ellen ensured that she had sufficient energy for the wedding. Presently, she was seated in front of the dressing table, allowing the makeup artists to put on suitable makeup for her..
Soon, Willow arrived as well. Since she was the bridesmaid, she had to look good too. “Good morning, Ellen.” Willow came over while wearing an oversized T-shirt. “Hi, Willy.” Ellen opened her eyes and flashed a smile at her.
The two of them had their makeup done at the same time as they talked about the interesting events that happened the night before. Soon, Anastasia arrived as well. As she looked at her daughter and daughter-in-law, her eyes were brimming with love.
She had already worn her makeup before arriving. Her wavy long hair hung loose behind her, and she gave off a noble vibe. Her age was a mystery, and she looked confident. What was more, it was apparent that she had a successful career.
No one could tell that she would be a grandmother soon. Even so, she’d be one of the most beautiful grandmothers out there.
They were done with their makeup by 9.00AM. Jared was already clad in a suit that made him look tall and confident. He even sprayed some golden powder in his black hair, which added a hint of charm to his already good-looking face. He sat down beside Ellen, and just then, a staff member returned from getting a new pair of shoes. “Miss Reiss, please give them a try.”
“Alright.” Ellen dipped her head. “Let me do it.” Before the staff member could squat, Jared took the shoes and helped the woman put them on.
Ellen blushed slightly as her gaze was filled with happiness. The staff members around. them looked enviously at Ellen, thinking that she must have saved the world in her previous life to have found a loving husband like Jared.
After putting on the shoes, Ellen was satisfied. The shoes fit her feet perfectly, and the heels were not too high. She was reaching the fourth month of her pregnancy, and her belly was slightly bulging, so she had to take good care of herself.
“We’ve discussed it earlier. You just have to propose a toast to those at the first three tables, then you can head to the private room and get some rest. I’ll handle the rest,”
Jared said. They had to avoid any activity that might exhaust Ellen.
“Okay.” Ellen felt warm in her heart. While staying on the island, she had gotten closer to the Presgraves and felt that they were truly caring and compassionate.
The guests were dressed to the nines and ready to attend the wedding. Connor and his family were wearing the clothes that Olivia had borrowed, making them look less ordinary. “Mom, this dress is too small. It doesn’t fit,” Selena complained.
“Stop complaining when you have a nice dress to wear! Just don’t eat too much later,”
Olivia retorted. Suddenly thinking of something, she turned to look at her husband anxiously. “Connor, did Ellen call you and ask you to walk her down the aisle?”
“No.” “Every bride needs an elder to walk her down the aisle. You’re her closest relative, so why didn’t she call you?” Olivia asked in shock. Connor was embarrassed as well. “Perhaps a luxurious wedding like this is different. Moreover, I’m too bashful to do that.”
“I suppose Ellen no longer regards us as relatives, huh? How is she going to walk down the aisle and go on stage without you? Is she going to do that on her own? That will be laughable!” Nothing good ever came out of Olivia’s mouth.
Connor shot her a stern look. “It’s Ellie’s big day. so don’t say any nonsense as there will be many guests at the wedding. You mustn’t. embarrass her.”
“Do you think she’s still your dearest Ellie? She probably won’t spare us a glance again after the wedding.” Olivia sneered.
Selena was fed up with their argument, so she went to the yard and happened to see
Josephine and her mother leaving the villa, ready to head to the wedding.
Presently, Josephine was clad in a light blue. dress with her hair hung loose on her shoulders. She looked charming and refreshing. A hint of resentment flashed across
Selena’s eyes. She had always been a crafty. person, but the woman managed to snatch. Ethan from her the night before. It was only natural that she was vexed. Just you wait, Josephine. I’ll let you know the consequences of offending me!
Meanwhile, Josephine and her mother entered the car and headed to the wedding. As the breeze whisked through her, she looked out the window and spaced out. When they passed by the walkway where Ethan carried her in his arms the night before, she suddenly wondered why the man was willing to lend her a helping hand.
Has he fallen in love with me? Well, a handsome man like him isn’t husband material, and it’s not like he can look young forever. Moreover, many women will try to snatch him from me, and he might even cheat on me.
After the analysis, Josephine felt that she’d better remain single. After all, there were many single people at her station, and they were all capable people who lived their lives to the fullest. Soon, Connor’s car was ready, and they went to the wedding together.
There was a long stretch of roses that extended from the area where the guests got out of their cars to the banquet hall roughly 600 feet away. The roses were beautiful and fragrant. As the guests walked along the path, they felt rejuvenated. Olivia was dumbfounded. “How much does it all cost? A bouquet of roses is already worth a ton at the florist!”
Selena was walking in front when she heard her mother’s words, so she couldn’t help but turn her head and retort, “Mom, stop behaving like a poor person. Do you want everyone to find out we’re not rich?”
