Zayn didn't come back even when the birthday party was nearing His end, Josephine could feel her heart slowly breaking into pieces.

She didn't think that Zayn would lose his cool and give up everything for Nadine in a situation in which they had both agreed that everything must

Nadine was not the mistress who seduced him to cheat-she was his true love that he would risk everything; for.

As for her? She was just a temporary hobby and a tool to create his loving husband persona online. Whenever his true love arrived, she would be discarded mercilessly.

At the end of the party, all the guests bid farewell to Winnie in couples. She would be the odd one ou sympathetic gaze and hushed whispers.

To avoid that, Josephine decided to leave earlier. She had wanted to bid Winnie farewell in person, but Winnie was surrounded by people and would not be able to make time for her, Josephine could only send her a farewell message by text.

As she walked out of the mansion, she remembered that she had no ride home. In this remote area of the city, she would have to walk around half an hour to the main road before she could call for a taxi. Her other option was to ask for a ride home from the Shaws. She turned around and glanced at the Shaw mansion. It was brightly lit with a lively atmosphere. She suddenly felt an intense loneliness, as if the world had left her behind. She lowered her gaze and started walking slowly toward the main road

The night air fell cool on Josephine's skin. As she looked up, the moon appeared cold and far away in the night sky. A slight scent of jasmine drifted from a nearby garden, as gentle as snow. She really liked the scent of jasmine as the flower symbolized pure and innocent love.

Josephine really thought she had it all. Who could have known it was actually a nightmare in disguise.

She heard a car coming from behind and decided to walk closer to the side of the road to give way. But, the car stopped next to her. As the window lowered, she saw Ethan looking at her with a gentle smile as he asked, "Need a ride?" "It's alright, I will just call for a taxi when I get to the main road."

"It's late now, are you sure you want to walk?"

Josephine was feeling down and didn't really want to talk to anyone. She just nodded firmly.

Erhan tried to persuade her in a gentle and patient tone. "But, according to your speed, you'd have to walk at least half an hour to get to the main road. Besides, the party just ended Cars will be passing by you and it's very dangerous." The party ended already? Josepluie turped around to take a look and sure enough, she could see some headlights slowly approaching from far.

When the cars would pass her by later, what would they think if they saw her pitiful silhouette wallding alone in this secluded area? Never mind what they thought of her, they'd be talking about what happened to her again on their way back At that thought, she couldn't wait to get into Ethan's car. In the same moment, Ethan got out of the car, opened the door to the passenger seat, and invited her in Princess Josephine, please."

Josephine laughed at his gesture. "That's a real cliché. I can't believe you did it." She felt much better after laughing. "Thank you."

When she had put on her seatbelt, she suddenly remembered that Ethan wasn't a good driver Josephine offered, "Would you like me to drive?

Erban flashed her an awkward smile. "I know I'm not a good driver. Don't you think I should practice more?"

It was fine with Josephine. She didn't mind him practicing his driving skills with her in the car.

As the car drove further away from the Shaw mansion and other cars, Josephine could finally feel at ease. In her relaxed state, she noticed that jazz was playing softly in the background and a gentle fragrance of white musk wafted in the car. Josephine turned to look at the scenery outside the car. The lighthearted feeling she had earlier was slowly replaced with heavy thoughts.
