Chapter 489
Ethan got off the private ne.
Ofte, he had been working on expanding the Larson Group’s business to Barnes, so he would be
staying there for a long while, handling thepany’s affairs.
But before that, he wanted to take J to his vi in Barnes.
Johanna was sitting on the sofa, enjoying her tea. Seeing Ethane with several bags of gifts, she
immediately stood up and weed him.
“We have enough of everything at home. You didn’t have to buy us all these.” She then called Beal,
who was ying with the birds in the yard, “Beal, Ethan is here. Stop ying with the parrot. Come and
join us.”
Ethan respectfully ced the gifts on the table. “This is just a token of my respect and sincerity. Please
ept them, Mrs. White.”
Johanna pursed her lips and studied his face. She felt Ethan was a good man, both in terms of
appearance and character.
She felt happy for J.
“What brings you here this time?” Considering he hade to meet them with bags of gifts, Johanna
sensed there must be a good reason.
“I’m here to pick up J,” Ethan replied honestly. “My vi in Barnes is ready. All the decoration works
and arrangements are done. It’s in Seaview Bay — not far from here.”
“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Beal walked in with his hands behind his back. His brows furrowed as
he sized Ethan up.
Johanna didn’t mind. Her impression of Ethan had changed. Besides, he and J had just gotten
married. She didn’t want to keep J away from her husband forever.

“Of course. But we have missed out a lot in her life and want to bond with her. You should bring J
here at least twice a week.”
“Of course, Mrs. White.”
After getting Johanna’s permission, Ethan packed J’s things, ready to take her home.

After work, J received a call from Ethan that evening saying he had shifted all her things to their
new house.
After moving out of the Whites’ house, J was surprised by the frequent messages and calls from
L.
“I feel lonely after you moved out. It’s boring here without you. Why don’t we go out for lunch
tomorrow?” L texted her.
After the constant messages and persuasion, J finally agreed to go out for lunch with her.
However, it wasn’t as awkward as before. L didn’te with her cocky friends this time. She seemed
kinder now. “J, I’m really sorry for all the things I have said and done. Will you forgive me? Those
were my friends’ ideas. I don’t hang out with them anymore. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed of
myself. They were all bad influences.”
L sounded sincere.
“I’m d you’ve changed. Mom has always been worried about you. I’m sure she will be happy to see
you like this,” J said tly.
She wasn’t a big fan of L. But considering they were family now, J put an effort to be nice to her.
The rtionship between Johanna and L also got better since L started ying a loving sister to
J. They bonded well.
“Have you been hanging out with J?” Johanna asked as she brought soup from the kitchen. “I kept
the soup warm for you.”
L nodded.
She had blindly followed Charis’s instructions. As expected, Johanna seemed to like her better now.
However, it didn’t make L happy. Instead, it only broke her heart to know that she had to y nice
with J to get the love and care from her parents.
That weekend, Charis called L.
“Are you free tomorrow? I have two tickets for skydiving. I had nned to go with my friend, but
something came up. I have to go back and meet my family. I will give the tickets to you. You can have
fun there.”
L had been thinking about what to do during the weekend, and she loved skydiving.
“But I don’t have any friends now,” she finally said. Her best friends didn’t hang out with her anymore.
“Don’t you have a sister?” Charis smiled, slyly indicating her to do something. “It would be a great
opportunity to bond with her.”
