Chapter 1899
“I had to attend an important meeting in the morning, so I didn’t get the chance to see you off at the
pier. You didn’t answer my phone calls either, so I thought you must be mad at me. So, I came here
especially to apologize to you, Ethan replied earnestly.
“What? You called me? Why didn’t I know about it?” With that, Josephine hastily took out her phone to
confirm. Just as Ethan said, there were two missed calls from him. She was troubled. She must have
accidentally missed the calls.
“I wasn’t mad at you, I just happened to not notice your calls coming in. You don’t have to apologize to
me.” Josephine felt a little sorry as well.
If she had answered his calls, he wouldn’t have come all the way here. Ethan was still relieved. At least
she missed the calls because she didn’t notice, not because she was mad at him.
Josephine’s face turned red for some reason. She was usually bold and outspoken, but now she had
experienced what it was like to be embarrassed. She didn’t even dare to look at Ethan’s face.
This man went to such great lengths just to meet her. Putting everything else aside, this man knew how
to woo a woman. She was actually touched.
“Come here, Brennen.” Behind them, Luke called an assistant who had come to fetch them. He pointed
at Josephine’s luggage, then said, “Help Miss Jacobson load her luggage into the car.”
Brennen Porter was Luke’s best assistant, so of course he knew how much effort Luke put in to pursue
Josephine. Hence, he hastily ran over to do his boss’ bidding.
Also, he was also quite a perceptive man. When he saw the tall and handsome figure next to
Josephine, he guessed that Luke had met with a strong rival.
“Miss Jacobson, I’ll help you with your luggage.” With that, Brennen moved to take Josephine’s
suitcase. However, a large hand pressed on the suitcase, stopping him. He was even given a sharp
look. “Don’t touch it.”
Obviously, only a certain somebody was allowed to carry this suitcase, and everyone else wasn’t
permitted to touch it. Josephine was feeling awkward now. On the cruise ship, she and Heidi had
agreed to take Luke’s car home, so if she refused now, it wouldn’t look too good.
“Quarles, can’t you see that Josephine and Mrs. Jacobson are getting in my car?” Luke stepped
forward and spoke up. Ethan made him feel very threatened.
At the side, Heidi was both surprised and shocked. Since when had her daughter gained so many
admirers? Two men were fighting for the spot to send Josephine home; Heidi had nothing to worry
about when it came to finding suitors for her daughter.
Josephine bit her lip and said, “Mr. Quarles, thank you for offering us a ride, but I’ve already. promised
to take Luke’s car home. Please go back.”
Josephine couldn’t back out on her promise to Luke. Also, she was caught off guard by Ethan’s sudden
appearance. She was shaken, and she needed time to calm down.
Ethan was sullen. He came all the way to fetch her, but she refused his offer to send her home. Still, he
respected her decision. “All right. I’ll be in town for a while, so let’s have a meal together sometime,” the
man said in a low voice.

He didn’t know which millionaire it belonged to. According to what he knew of Averna, no one was
driving a car like that. Just then, Ethan thought of something, then said to Josephine, who was about to
get into the car, “Hold on. I have a gift for you.”
