Ethan was heading in Josephine’s direction while the woman was about to turn her head to find out if Selena and
the man had gone on a date. She was shocked to realize that the man was only six feet away from her, and they
even exchanged glances.
In an instant, Josephine had the urge to run away, for she felt that the man was coming at her. However, she soon
calmed herself down. Why should I run away? It’s not like I’m afraid of him. He’s just a man, and there’s no way I
can’t handle him.
“May I have a word with you, miss?” Ethan’s masculine voice sounded from behind her. Instantly, Luke turned his
head and glared at him. “Hey, I warned you not to harass my girlfriend. Are you sick of living?”
He was an impetuous man, and he felt that protecting Josephine was his responsibility. “If she were your girlfriend,
she wouldn’t have made use of me to get rid of you,” Ethan refuted matter-of-factly.

attention and let them watch two men fight for her. She took Luke’s hand and tried to appease him with her
feminine charm. “Calm down, Luke. Let me deal with this.”
It was Luke’s first time hearing the woman speak to him softly. Under the lights, her smile was just as bright as
pearls. Her lips, brows, and eyes were stunningly alluring.
While Luke fell into a dazed state, Ethan also noticed the woman showing her charm. It was as though she was able
to enchant any man in the world.
Luke soon calmed down. When Josephine turned to look at Ethan, the smile disappeared from her face, and her
expression turned dispassionate in an instant. It was as though she wasn’t even willing to spare him a smile.
‘This way please, Mr. Quarles.” Josephine extended her hand, thinking that they’d better talk everything out. She
wondered if she had offended him in any way before.
On the other hand, Ethan sported a dark expression because of the contrasting treatment he received. When
Selena saw Josephine and Ethan going somewhere quiet, she was incensed. As expected, Josephine is trying to
snatch Ethan from me. She’s such a b*tch!
Josephine stood beside a lamppost, staying away from the boisterous crowd and loud music. Then, she said to the
man, “What do you want to tell me, Mr. Quarles? You’d better hurry up.”
“There’s nothing I want to say.” Ethan crossed his arms, feeling speechless. She seems to be blaming everything on
me.
“Why did you tell me you wanted to have a word with me when you have nothing to say, then? Do you have nothing
better to do?” Josephine felt annoyed. “What’s your name?” Ethan asked.
Josephine was startled, realizing that she hadn’t told him her name yet. “I’m not obliged to tell you my name.”
Josephine arched her brow smugly. Ethan snorted. “Do you know who I am, then?”

“We won’t come into contact again after the wedding, so your identity has nothing to do with me.” Josephine didn’t
want to speak to him any further. Since the woman wasn’t willing to tell him her name, Ethan had the urge to find
out more about her. He felt conflicted deep within.
“You’d better go back and keep your girlfriend company. Don’t keep her waiting,” Josephine reminded. “My
girlfriend?” Ethan thought, Since when do I have a girlfriend?
“She told me her name is Selena. Isn’t she your girlfriend?” Josephine knew that Selena was staring in their
direction. “I’ve only known her for several days,” Ethan explained.
Josephine was secretly speechless. Although they have only known each other for a few days, they have already
made out. I guess handsome men are usually this flirtatious.
“I’m heading back to my friend’s side.” With that, Josephine brushed past him to leave. For some reason, Ethan
took her arm all of a sudden.
“What are you doing?” Josephine struggled out of his grip, displeased with the man for touching her without her
consent.
