Although Ethan could only see the woman’s back, she had an impable figure. He wondered if her


    face looked just as attractive. As he grew curious, he walked toward Selena, hoping to see the


    woman’s face.


    Selena felt her heart thumping in her chest when she saw the man approaching her, and she could


    barely conceal her excitement. Josephine didn’t expect Selena to ask the man to sit with them, so she


    said to the woman, “I’d better not be the third wheel, then.”


    With that, she rose from the chair and turned around, facing the man directly. Under the lights, Ethan


    appeared doubtful. What? It’s her?! That’s impossible. She looked unkempt in the morning, but she


    looks so gorgeous at night.


    Josephine pretended not to know him. Although she knew that Ethan was staring at her, she ignored


    him and hurriedly left the ce. Ethan was rooted to the spot for a few seconds before feeling


    displeased. What the hell?! Why is she pretending not to know me?


    Hey!” he called out while turning around. Josephine stopped in her tracks with a frustrated expression.


    Why did he call out to me? Isn’t he supposed to go on a date with that woman?


    Ethan tucked one hand into his pocket and shuffled toward Josephine before sneering. “What’s wrong?


    Don’t you know me anymore?”


    Upon seeing that, Selena was astounded. It never crossed her mind that Ethan and Josephine knew


    each other. She flushed and red resentfully at Josephine, wondering why the woman lied to her.


    On the other hand, Josephine was extremely embarrassed. She told Selena that she didn’t know


    Ethan, but the man exposed her lie. Hence, it was only natural that she was vexed. She crossed her


    arms and questioned, ‘Do I know you, mister?”


    Just then, Luke discovered Josephine and ran toward her excitedly. “Hi, Joey!” Upon registering the


    man’s presence, Josephine shed a smile at him, hoping that he would get her out of trouble.

    Luke was astonished when he saw how. beautiful Josephine looked. It was his first time seeing her all


    dressed up. “You look fabulous, Joey! Your dress and makeup make a huge difference!” Luke


    complimented the woman while approaching her. When he caught sight of Ethan, he snapped. “Hey,


    will you stop harassing my girlfriend?”


    Ethan furrowed his brows. “Me, harassing your girlfriend?” “Ignore him, Joey. My friends are over there.


    Let’s go. Luke wanted to drape his arm around Josephine’s shoulders, but she dexterously dodged it.


    Left with no choice, he retracted his hand with a smile.


    Ethan watched Josephine leave as his amber eyes appeared conflicted. When he came to his senses,


    he saw Selena approaching him. Selena happened to see the man looking at Josephine’s figure. Her


    heart sank while she felt infuriated. She’s such a scheming woman! She knows Ethan, but she lied to


    me about it. What is she trying to achieve? Does she want to snatch Ethan from me?


    “Have a seat, Mr. Quarles,” Selena said with a smile. “I’m sorry. I’m going to sit with my friends.” Ethan


    didn’t want to sit beside Selena. He had previously sent her back to her vi because she was the


    bride’s rtive, but it didn’t mean he was interested in her.


    He could live his life peacefully since he wouldn’t engage in any ambiguous rtionships or give the


    other party false hope. “Mr. Quarles, I feel bored on my own. Why don’t I join you guys as well?” Selena


    asked with a sweet smile.


    “I’m sorry, but my friend is a woman. I’m worried she’ll be jealous,” Ethan replied, signaling for the


    woman not to approach him. Selena flushed in embarrassment and forced a smile. “Alright. I hope


    you’ll have a great night.”


    After the man was gone, Selena appeared disappointed and displeased. At the same time, she looked


    furiously in Josephine’s direction, believing the woman was why she failed to approach Ethan.
