At that moment, Jenna stood before the villa, biting her red lips. She crossed her arms and took a deep breath. She decided to tell Ethan. about herself.
However, just as she was about to call him, she heard a car from behind her and turned around to look. Realizing it was a familiar car, she was elated to find Ethan had returned. She immediately flipped her long hair and let out a charming and innocent smile. When Ethan got out of the car, she sweetly called out, “Ethan, you’re back!”
“Who said you can be here?” Ethan questioned her in displeasure. Then, he instructed, “My bodyguard will send you to the airport. You’re going back alone.”
Jenna reached out to grab his arm when she heard that. “I don’t want to. I’m here for you. I heard you’re on holiday. We can take this opportunity to spend some time together!”
Right at that moment, Josephine heard the car and walked out to the courtyard. She stood on the side of the fence and saw Jenna acting coquettishly with Ethan in the driveway.
Josephine stared at them as she felt a stab in her heart. Who is that girl? Are they really a couple? Have I become a homewrecker? Ethan, you jerk! She cursed in her heart.
Right then, the gate opened and Ethan strode. over and saw Josephine standing there. He panicked and walked up to her. “Joey, I can explain.”
Jenna, who anxiously came in after him with her luggage, was stunned. She noticed how panicked Ethan was about Josephine and wondered if she really had mistaken Josephine for Ethan’s maid.
Then, she watched as Ethan strode over and held Josephine tightly in his arms. Her eyes widened and a slap came down on Ethan’s face as he was pushed away by Josephine.
Jenna was furious because the man she loved got slapped out of the blue. She stomped over angrily and questioned, “Who are you to slap Ethan?” She raised her arm immediately after, taking advantage of her height and wanting to return the slap to Josephine.
Just as her arm was up in the air, Ethan grabbed her arm and stood in front of Josephine. He warned in a low tone, “Don’t touch her, Jenna.”
‘But she slapped you! You’re the distinguished young master of the Quarles Family. Who is she to do that?” Jenna couldn’t believe her ears. This was the first time she saw Ethan being slapped, not to mention it was by an ordinary girl.
Josephine also regretted slapping him. Earlier, he dashed over and hugged her, but she couldn’t get out of his embrace. Since she was already beside herself, the anger fueled her actions and she accidentally slapped him..
“She’s my girlfriend. The one I love the most. I won’t allow anyone to lay a finger on her,” Ethan declared firmly. His words stunned both women. Josephine never expected Ethan to introduce her so openly.
Jenna, on the other hand, was in utter disbelief. Ethan said this average-looking girl is his girlfriend?! How could this be? Then, what am I to him? “What about me? I’ve liked you for so long. I’ve been by your side for so long. Am I nothing to you?!” Jenna questioned painfully.
Josephine, who was standing by the side, finally understood what was happening. All this time, it was Jenna self-proclaiming that she was Ethan’s girlfriend. Ethan didn’t think of her as his girlfriend at all.
“In my eyes, you’re a friend, but also a sister.” Ethan tried to console her. Tears streamed down Jenna’s face and washed. away her exquisite makeup. She looked at him in despair. “No. I don’t want to be your sister or just a friend. I’ve loved you for three years. I want to be your girlfriend.”
Josephine felt the hand that she slapped Ethan with still tingling with pain. She regretted acting so rashly just now. I should’ve listened to his explanation first.
She cast secret glances at the red mark on Ethan’s face before caressing his face and asking with concern, ‘I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.” However, Ethan wrapped his long arms around her. “It’s okay. As long as we cleared the air.”
“Does it still hurt?” she asked softly. “Nope!’ Ethan shook his head. Suddenly, Jenna stared at Josephine with resentment. “Do you know who he is? Do you know how wealthy his family is? You are not worthy of him.”
“Stop it, Jenna. I don’t want to make things ugly between our families,’ Ethan warned harshly. Jenna was taken aback. Even if Ethan was cold to her back then, he never once looked at her with those cold, warning eyes. So, she felt wronged for being treated like this.
She cried harder as she looked at Ethan and bit her lips. “Is it wrong of me to like you? I came all the way here for you and didn’t even have time to catch my breath. Can I go in for some tea?”
Before Josephine could say anything, Ethan rejected her. “This is my and Josephine’s home. It’s not convenient for you to enter. I’ll ask my bodyguard to arrange a place for you. You should go back after resting tonight.”
At that moment, two of Ethan’s bodyguards walked in after parking their car. Ethan asked them to carry Jenna’s luggage for her. Despite being unwilling, Jenna could only walk away. However, she turned around and stared at Josephine for a long time with eyes filled with envy, resentment, and hatred,
Josephine calmly met Jenna’s gaze and watched her leave before cupping her hands around Ethan’s face to check the injury tenderly. “Does it hurt? I was too rough.” However, Ethan grabbed her hands and smirked. ‘It’s okay. I’ve got a thick face. It doesn’t hurt.”
Josephine’s hand hurt from hitting Ethan earlier, and she was abruptly filled with a deep sense of regret. “I promise never to hit you again,” she promised.
Ethan snorted with laughter when he heard those words. Reaching out, he pulled her into his embrace. “Why are you making such child- like promises?”
“I will definitely control myself in the future.” Blinking back her tears, she threw her arms. around his waist tightly. “I will properly listen to your explanation next time.”
Then, she looked up at him and asked, “Do you have any other crazy admirers aside from that woman? Hurry up and tell me about them so that I won’t be jealous of them in the future!” He mulled over her question and shook his head. “I don’t know. I never paid any attention to them.”
His answer left her with no choice but to give up on her original objective. She had initially thought that she could trick him into telling her about whether he had any other admirers in the past. “Is Miss Langley the daughter of your parents’ friend?”
“Yeah. She is the daughter of my mother’s friend. We’ve known each other since childhood, but I only regard her as a friend.” “She’s really pretty! Not to mention, she looks like a model,” she added.
He involuntarily smiled and stroked the tip of her nose endearingly. “Didn’t you say you trusted me? Why are you testing me again?” She blinked innocently to conceal her embarrassment and smiled mischievously. “I do trust you!”
Ethan brought Josephine into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. They collapsed onto the couch together. Lying on top of him, she looked up at him with glistening eyes. She never wanted to see another woman approaching him again. If it happened again, she was certain she would be very jealous.
That was because she had a strong possessive streak in her heart. She wished that her lover would only belong to her forever. Meanwhile, he wrapped his arms around the back of her lower waist. Their position instantly became rather ambiguous. Supporting the back of her head, he planted a kiss on her forehead. “Are we going out for dinner tonight? Or are we cooking at home?”
“Are you willing to cook? I’m bad at cooking,” she questioned. “Sure! I’ll prepare steak and spaghetti for you.” “Wow! That sounds great! In that case, I’ll help you,” she exclaimed happily and threw her arms around his neck.
Ethan took out his phone and instructed the bodyguards to deliver some ingredients. What was more, these ingredients were flown in under his orders to ensure they maintained their authentic taste.
He used to love traveling around the world in the past and became quite talented in cooking as a result. Hence, he was excited to demonstrate his skills to Josephine tonight..
Nevertheless, there was still quite some time before dinner. He felt that those hours should not be wasted by doing nothing. Rather, the time would be better spent doing something he enjoyed.
Josephine had been looking forward to the dinner he was going to prepare tonight. Unbeknownst to her, she had already turned into a scrumptious delicacy in his eyes. When he suddenly lifted her in his arms, she gave a surprised but coquettish cry. Then, he carried her upstairs with a wicked smirk.
Her body went weak. As somebody who had only just learned about such pleasures, she was faintly addicted and fascinated by such matters.
When they reached the bed, he pressed his body against her so that she was cushioned between him and the bed. All of a sudden, a shock of electricity exploded in her mind. He kissed her in a domineering manner at that moment, and their tongues entangled together…
All thoughts faded from her mind after that. She hoped that she would always enjoy such a sinful life of debauchery with him in the future.
Inside the five-star hotel, Jenna angrily sat on the couch. She never imagined that a woman would appear beside Ethan in the few months that they were separated. Not to mention, Ethan was so loving and doting toward the woman.
What kind of background does that woman have? Which family does she come from? What methods did she use to seduce him? With Ethan’s experience and status, he would never take interest in normal women. However, that woman looked extremely ordinary!
Naturally, she would never consider or appreciate Josephine’s strengths. She would not have been impressed even if Josephine had turned out to be an incredible beauty instead.
Reaching out for her phone, she dialed that bodyguard’s number and questioned him bluntly, “Tell me, who is that woman beside Ethan?” “Miss Langley, Mr. Quarles fired me because I helped you. Do you happen to need the services of a bodyguard, Miss Langley?”
His question stunned her for a moment. Nevertheless, she realized that she was indeed going to need the services of a bodyguard since she was planning to stay here for some time. Making up her mind, she agreed without hesitation. “In that case, you can work for me! I’ll pay you a salary, but you have to work for me wholeheartedly.”
“No problem, Miss Langley.” “Hurry up and tell me about that woman’s background. What does she have that makes. Ethan like her?”
“I have not been following Mr. Quarles recently, so I am not too clear about the specific details of her identity. However, I know that she works at the TV station.”
“Which TV station?” “It’s the TV station that Mr. Quarles invested in recently. I believe he invested in the company because of her.” After hearing that, Jenna was peeved. “How did Ethan meet her?”
