When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Chapter 32

"I apologize forthe embarrassment I've camed."

Suddenly, Josephine lifted her head, and a faint, vulnerable smile spread across her face

Simen's expression tomed sympathetic as he looked at her "Josephine, how How could he treat you like that?"

she slowly shook her head, neither knowing how to explain nor wanting to. She was too esausted to say another word.

"Simon, I'm going to head back now!

post as she turned to leave, Ethan's voice called out from behind her

""Let me drive Vol

She turned back, looking at him inconfusion

He said calmly, "Considering his behavior, he might be waiting for you at the entrance of the mansion. My car is parked inside, and we can leave through the back Knowing Zayn's temper, it wouldn't be surprising if he confronted her at the front door

He'd see her and immediately resort to violence, dragging her into the car and hounding her Josephine didn't have the energy to deal with him anymore. After

dering for a moment, she could only accept Ethan's offer "Thank you, I'd appreciateit":

She assumed his car was parked in the manson's rear parking lot, but instead, he led her to Arthur

He spoke directly, appearing quite familiar with Arthur.

Arthur's gaze grew curious, shitting back and forth between Ethan and Josephine. After a moment, he broke into a charming smile. He pulled out a key from his pocket and tossed it to him. Ethan tumed and left without so much as a thank you.

Confused, she trailed behind and couldn't resist asking, "You know Arthur?

we were toommates during my time studying abroad."

Hodid you study abroad?"

was even more surprised. He didorem like someone who studied abroad; he looked more like he had been locally educated.

Ethan's eyes were icy, yet a charming smile played onlus lips. "Are you that surprised?"

"Very surprised

Josephine emphasized the word "very" "What did you study?"

She was gemely unous. However, after adding, she felt like she was paying too much, especially since they had just met.

Ethan answered her question gently. "Tusiness management and finance."

Shedidn't know how to respond. "That doesn't seem like something you'd study at all."

"What do you think I should have studied?"

"Sculpture, am, or classical music."

He laughed.

This was the first time he had genuinely laughed since they met. "As a director, shouldn't you strive to discover the potential in actors? How can you judge someone by their appearance?" He turned the tables on her, criticizing her before she could criticize him.

But what he said did make sense

The three-year hiatus had indeed dulled her professional instincts. She reflected on that.

When they reached the car, Bhun, ever the gentleman, opened the car door for her.

Thank you

As soon as Josephine buckedup, he slid into the driver's seat. Then, he took out his glasses wrapped in white silk cloth and put them on

His prole was nothing short of perfect

His thick bauws and high nose formed a striking, sculpted profile. His elegant fingers gripped the steering wheel. There was an inexplicabile elegance and nobility inhisevery movement that was pleasing to the re Additionally, a subtle scent of white teawatted though the cat, likely from his perfume. It gave her an inexplicable feeling of tranquility.

"You sermoto enjoy staring at my face," he said suddenly, huming his head to meet her gaze.

Caught in the act, her cheeks instantly tumed red.
