Josephine rushed into the house and simply packed a few things before returning. downstairs. Even at this point,
she was still a bit shy. After all, it was the first time she lied to her mother just for dating her boyfriend.
She got into the sports car and Ethan drove her back to the hotel. Josephine sighed in relief. She did not bring any
work home with her, so she had more time to herself.
This morning, Ethan had snapped a few photos of the villa, and now he was sharing them with her. She was well
aware that it was a rare opportunity to find detached villas downtown. “It’s beautiful.”
“Are you looking forward to moving in with me?” Ethan asked, reaching out his hand and putting his arm around
her. Josephine nodded in excitement. “Of course!”
“We’ll pick out furniture and other stuff for our new home this weekend. You can decide what you want. Ethan was
looking forward to decorating the house with the woman he loved.

years that he wanted to do that.
She was moved by his words. She cuddled him as her mind filled with her future plan with him by her side.
However, there were many blank spaces she struggled to fill. For example, his family and his career. All of them
were located somewhere else. Will we last?
Even a calm and rational woman like her refused to think about it. All she wanted was to stay with him as long as
she could and never worried about their future.
Josephine suddenly raised her head and locked eyes with Ethan. She saw desire deep down inside his eyes. It was
lust-he was hoping he could make a move.
Josephine was blushing profusely at his clear intention. “I-I got my period.” She noticed it in the office this
afternoon. Thus, even though she intended to make it to the next base, she had to wait.
Ethan burst into laughter before holding her tighter in his arms. He pressed a kiss intended as a punishment to her
cheek. “It’s all right. I can wait.” What matters the most is that she’s ready.
Josephine was grateful for such an unstable factor. After all, she was falling head over heels for Ethan at the
moment. She needed some time to think about it.
Josephine leaned into him. At that moment, Ethan’s phone rang. He grabbed it and glanced at the caller ID before
answering, “Hello?” “Young Master, when are you coming back?” Ethan’s subordinate asked. “Half a year later.”
“What about the ongoing project at the North Pole? Don’t you need to supervise it yourself?” Ethan narrowed his
eyes. “I have a more important task at hand than the project.”
Josephine was taking a nap as she curled up against Ethan like a kitten. When the words left him, her eyes fluttered
open in disbelief. She allowed herself to immerse her emotions as she gazed at his sharp jawline. Is he referring to
me? Does it mean he prioritizes me over his work?

He felt her gaze on his face. He caressed her head while he was on the phone. He even bent down to kiss her on
the head. The intimacy. came out naturally, much like something a normal couple would do.
She curled her lips upward as she snuggled up against his broad chest, content with relaxing next to him. After a
long day of work, she was extremely happy to be able to find security in his arms. At night, Josephine and Ethan
slept in separate rooms. Due to Ethan having a video conference, he asked Josephine to go to sleep first.
Josephine got into bed early since she had to work the next day. However, she decided to read a book before sleep
found her. After all, she wanted to prove herself worthy of the position of the news anchor.
She was aware that aside from Katrina, the others might also think that she got the position through connections.
However, Josephine hoped to get it with a clear conscience. She wanted the others to know that she was capable of
depending on herself. Others’ opinions don’t matter. The most important thing is for me to stay true to myself.
The next morning, Josephine woke up earlier than yesterday. Ethan hadn’t woken up when she left the bedroom.
Gently pushing his bedroom door open, she locked eyes with the man who opened his eyes at the light noise..
Watching her slip in quietly like a cat, he put his arms under his head before asking with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
