Chapter 2059
Night of Destiny
âWeâve been wondering when weâd see you, Ellie. Youâre gorgeous! Come on in!â Olivia still greeted
Ellen with a zestful smile. âYeah. Please come in,â Connor said.
However, Ellen shook her head. âI wonât be going in. Iâm just here to take a look at you. If you need
anything, you can contact the staff members here. Theyâll assist you.â
All of a sudden, Olivia wanted to take Ellenâs hand, but the bodyguard raised his hand and stopped the
woman from approaching. In an instant, Oliviaâs face stiffened. Sheâs put on airs, huh?
Jared had told the bodyguards to stop the Aguirres from approaching Ellen. She was pregnant, after
all, and he was worried that the Aguirres might accidentally hurt her.
âIs this how you treat us now, Ellen? With all the bodyguards around you?â Selena snorted, feeling
displeased over her motherâs treatment. âDonât say that, Lena!â Connor scolded.
Ellen didnât tell them that she was pregnant, and it was indeed inappropriate for Olivia to try pulling her.
âIâll take my leave now, Uncle Connor.â With that, Ellen turned around and walked toward the car.
After she was gone, Oliviaâs face fell. âItâs just as I expected. Since sheâs wealthy now, she no longer
regards us as relatives.â On the other hand, Selenaâs gaze was full of determination, Ellenâs noble
demeanor had agitated her. At that moment, she decided to get the man she had bumped into the
other night at all costs. A joyful Connor said, âEllie looks so elegant and noble now.â
âSo what? She looks down on relatives like us now.â Olivia snorted. The wedding would be held the
next day, so the entire island was filled with a blissful atmosphere. Wedding decorations could be seen
everywhere, and all the guests felt at home.
Meanwhile, a frustrated Josephine was drinking coffee. Seeing that she was still vexed, Luke appeased
her by saying, âJoey, why donât I teach that man a lesson for bullying you? Perhaps youâll feel better
that way.â
Josephine shook her head. âI offended him first.â Luke was attracted to Josephine as she spaced out.
The woman had a conflicting temperament; she looked obedient while spacing out, but aggressive and
full of energy when she worked.
What was more, whenever she blew her top or argued with other people, she was mean and willful, but
she also appeared confident at the same time.
More often than not, Luke felt that he could never have any control over the woman, and that was what
made her attractive. He had the urge to conquer her and make her his.
Furthermore, even though her grandfather was retired, he was still influeritial. âI have to work now.â
With that, Josephine rose. from the chair and left. Luke ran after her and said, âDo you want to go to
the beach, Joey? The water is clear. Why donât we take a stroll?â âThereâs no need for that. Iâm
swamped with work.â Josephine came up with an excuse and headed to the pedestrian walkway.
As soon as she rounded a corner, she saw a fancy convertible charging toward her. She was so
shocked that she stood rooted to the spot. Her face paled in an instant, and her soul almost left her
body. Damn it! Who would drive a car on the pedestrian walkway?!
âJoey!â Luke rushed over and pulled her back. The man in the convertible immediately stepped on the
brake pedal, after which their eyes met.
âItâs you!â When Josephine came to her senses, she was infuriated. So what if he has a convertible?
Heâs not supposed to be driving on the pedestrian walkway!
âYou again!â Ethan took off his sunglasses and revealed his chiseled face before looking at her
mockingly. âDo you even have a driverâs license? If you had crashed into my girlfriend, I wouldâve never
let you off!â Luke promptly defended the woman.
âHuh? Has she even agreed to be your girlfriend yet?â Ethan arched his brow.
