“As long as you’re willing to attend the party, you can come up with a demand.” Heidi had no choice but to make
such a promise. “For real? Can I come up with any demand?” Josephine appeared tempted.
“Yes, that’s right,” Heidi replied sincerely. Josephine put down the book and said, “Alright. When we go home, you
can’t stop me from moving out. That’s my demand.”
Heidi was startled while considering whether she should agree to it. “I’m 25, Mom. If you don’t let me move out, no
man will ever marry me,” said Josephine, mounting pressure on her mother.
“You’re not very old, so what’s wrong with you staying with us?” Heidi felt that she couldn’t agree to it; she didn’t
have the heart to let her daughter move out, after all.
“Mom, my friends are around my age, but none of their parents demand that they return home before 9.00PM. I’m

even possible?” Josephine said matter-of- factly.
After giving it some thought, Heidi nodded. “Okay, I’ll agree to it. However, you have to do your best to find a
husband tonight.” “Sure, I’ll try very hard to get a brilliant boyfriend.” Josephine was elated deep within. I’ll be free!
Since she was a young child, she had been forced to live a disciplined life, and it was finally coming to an end. She
could order food delivery in the middle of the night and binge-watch dramas until the next morning, and no one
would wake her up while she was asleep. She could also bring her friends to her place as she pleased. She felt
unfettered at the thought of it.
“Go back to your room and change into a nice dress. Look at what you’re wearing. I don’t even wear such a tacky
color, but you’re fine with it,” Heidi nagged. Josephine refuted, “What do you know, Mom? It’s my style!”
With that, she went upstairs and opened the wardrobe before going through the clothes she had brought with her.
Eventually, she found a camisole dress she had never put on before. She bought it while shopping in a mall back
then, but since she was swamped with work, she hadn’t gotten around to wearing it yet.
When she heard that they were coming to an island, she decided to bring it with her, but she still hadn’t had the
chance to put it on. It’s the best dress for the party. It was a blue camisole dress made from silk. The design was
niche, and it would make the wearer look both sexy and elegant.
Since she was going to put the dress on, she had to apply some makeup as well. Therefore, she fished out her
cosmetic bag and focused on getting ready. Since it’s nighttime, why don’t I make myself look more charming?
When Josephine was done, she went downstairs. Heidi almost couldn’t recognize her daughter. She looks as
attractive as the hottest celebrities now! “I’m heading out now, Mom.”
“Your makeup is a little heavy, and your lipstick might be too red,” Heidi said. “Mom, bright red lipstick is very
trendy now. I wouldn’t look attractive if I wore light makeup at night.” Josephine could always come up with an

Meanwhile, a huge bonfire had been set up on the beach, and yellow tables with long tablecloths were placed
around the bonfire. Bottles of wine, fruits, and roses filled the tables. The light show turned the beach into an
exciting party under the night sky. It was a paradise for young people to have fun.
The uplifting music prompted the guests to dance; they could temporarily forget about their worries and seek
happiness that night. Selena had been there for quite a while. There were youngsters as well as middle-aged guests
in their forties. Certainly, countless beautiful ladies had attended the party. Waitresses in revealing clothes and
handsome waiters in white shirts were also a sight to behold.
Presently, Selena was seated near the entrance. She had been keeping an eye on every guest who entered the
place since she was waiting for Ethan’s arrival. At that moment, most of the guests had arrived. Although they
didn’t know each other, they had fun together at the party. The young people at the party could also seize the
chance to look for potential partners.
