“So, what did you pick?” “Some wine and supplements.” “That’s great! Grandpa likes having a drink


    before dinner,” Josephine said in approval and reckoned that Ethan had a good eye for gifts.

    At Josephine’s home, Heidi was a little surprised that Josephine hadn’t mentioned that she had a


    boyfriend before this. “That girl told me that she was working with a colleague for the past few days!


    Was she dating in secret?” she said, amused and helpless, realizing that her little girl was a grown-up


    now.


    “You’re too protective of her. She’s already twenty-five years old. It’s about time she moves out to live


    by herself,” Mills said to his wife. Regarding this, he was more open-mindedpared to her. “Could


    her boyfriend be Luke rk? I think that boy is quite good. He was very friendly during the wedding.”


    “Sounds good. At the very least, Dad approves of the boys from the rk Family.” Even Mills agreed


    that it wouldn’t be bad if their son-inw was Luke.


    Just then, Josephine came in through the door connecting to the garden. Worried that Ethan would feel


    awkward, she turned around and hooked her arm through his as they entered.


    In the living room, Mills and Heidi heard their footsteps and came out to take a look. When Heidi saw


    Ethan, her jaw dropped because the man was thest person she was expecting to see. Is he the guy


    Josephine has been dating recently? As the best man of the Presgraves’ wedding and a friend of Elliot,


    he must be a member of the gentry!


    While she was still in shock, Ethan greeted them, “Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobson. I’m Ethan


    Quarles, Joey’s boyfriend.”


    Mills wasn’t expecting that Josephine’s boyfriend would be such a tall, dashing man with a


    sophisticated air about him. However, Heidi already answered warmly, “Wee! Come on in. It’s


    Ethan, right? I remember you from the wedding.” Then, she turned to Mills and exined, “He was the


    best man during Young Master Elliot’s wedding.”


    Hearing that Ethan was a close friend of the Presgraves, Mills reckoned that his personality and status


    would be better and higher than your average Joe.


    “Dad, are you wearing the suit that Mom bought? You look very handsome!” Smiling brightly, Josephine


    grabbed Mills’ arm and added, “I was the one who picked it out. It makes you look younger, doesn’t it?”


    Mills really liked this suit, and it turned out that his daughter was the one who chose it for him. “What


    business is your family running?” For his daughter’s sake, he had to start questioning Ethan about his


    family background.


    “My family is in the shipping business. I’m living with my parents in Dansbury, but we’re in the midst of


    migrating now. Soon, we’ll be residing in Averna,” Ethan replied. “Shipping? What is the name of your


    company?”


    “Cyrus International Shipping Limited. Our headquarters is in Dansbury and the executive rights are


    fully in my hands,” Ethan answered.


    “Cyrus?” Mills repeated, turning to look at Ethan in shock. He couldn’t believe that the man sitting in


    front of him was the young master of the world’s leading shipping giant.


    At the sight of how pumped up Mills seemed, Heidi couldn’t help but ask, “Mills, have you heard of


    Ethan’spany before?” Next to them, Josephine smirked. Dad’s reaction is over the top!


    “Of course I’ve heard of it before. The world’s top shippingpany is called Cyrus. Ethan, could this


    be yourpany?” “Yes, that’s my family business,” Ethan admitted with a nod and a chuckle.


    Heidi almost cked out at his answer. What?! My daughter’s boyfriend is one of the world’s richest


    men, eh? Initially, she thought that Ethan was just a rich young master from abroad, but his status


    made her jump out of her skin. “Mom, Dad, it’s gettingte. Shouldn’t we get ready and head to


    Grandpa’s?”


    “Joey, I have some gifts to bring over. Come help me out.” After saying that, Heidi gave Josephine a


    look and beckoned her toe with her. Following her upstairs, Josephine trotted into her room, and


    the moment the door shut, Heidi rushed to her and asked, “Joey, tell me the truth -are you guys really


    dating each other?”


    “Yes, we are!” Josephine admitted, nodding. “Honestly, I wish that you can marry a good and rich man,


    but… the difference between our family and Ethan’s is too great!”
