Chapter 2067
Night of Destiny
When Ethan saw how excited and expectant Luke appeared, he knew that the man was going to
confess to Josephine. As expected, Luke picked up a rose from the table and hid it behind him. Ethanâs
lips curved into a playful smile when he saw that. He rose from the chair as well.
While walking in front, Josephine couldnât help but be amazed by the beautiful lights. As she walked
along the walkway, she soon moved further away from the bonfire and the clamorous crowd.
Finally, when she rounded a corner, she saw a resting area for the guests. The lights in this area were
amazing too as they were soft- looking and romantic.
Behind her, Luke knew that he couldnât miss the chance, so he called out to her, âJoey, why donât we
get some rest here? This place is pretty quiet.â Josephine dipped her head. When she saw a swing,
she joyfully went over and sat on it.
Luke could finally use the rose he had been hiding behind him. All of a sudden, he fell to one knee and
confessed to the woman with a loving expression. He declared, âJoey, you know I love you. Please be
my girlfriend!â
Josephine was startled, not expecting the man to confess to her in such a serious manner. âGet up
right away, Luke! What are you doing? Why canât we just be friends?â Josephine said anxiously. âNo! If
you donât agree to it, I will never get up!â replied Luke with determination written all over his face.
Josephine felt speechless, for Luke was an obstinate person. Over the past year, he had tried
confessing to her in all sorts of ways, and she was left embarrassed every time. All of a sudden, a man
was heard sneering. âOh! Youâd better not get up forever, then.â
Ethanâs tall figure emerged from the lights as he walked toward Josephine. When she saw the man,
she was frustrated. Why does this man always appear when Iâm in the middle of something?
âMister, donât you see me confessing to the woman I love? Canât you show some respect and leave us
alone?â Although Luke was still kneeling, he was visibly displeased.
Ethan loved destroying romantic moments like this. All of a sudden, he extended his hand and pulled
Josephine up from the swing. An unsuspecting Josephine crashed into his embrace as the man
wrapped his arm around her waist. âYou!â Josephine was vexed. Why is he touching me again?
âMiss Jacobson, why donât we witness this manâs true heart together? Letâs see if heâll continue
kneeling until the next morning.â With that, Ethan grabbed the womanâs arm and pulled her away. âHey!
Release me! Youâre a b*stard, Ethan!â
âDonât go, Joey! Iâm serious!â Luke called out anxiously. At that moment, he wasnât certain if he should
run after them or continue kneeling. Meanwhile, Ethan dragged the woman to the other side of the
walkway.
Josephine finally managed to struggle out of the manâs grip after exerting much force. While panting,
she snapped. âStop meddling in my affairs, Ethan!â âI saved you. Arenât you supposed to thank me?â
Ethan questioned with squinted eyes.
âNobody asked you for help. What does it have anything to do with you, anyway?â Josephine had
turned Luke down many times, so she knew what to do. As such, she didnât need the manâs help.
On the contrary, she would be grateful if the man could stop bothering her. âAre you saying that if I
hadnât dragged you away, you wouldâve agreed to be his girlfriend?â Ethan asked curiously.
âThis is none of your business. At the very least, I know I will never get together with you.â Josephine
snorted and adjusted her dress. A breeze whisked through her just then as her hair flapped in the air,
which made her look charming. While she glanced at the sea, her profile was stunning.
Ethan was awestruck as he looked at her. Sheâs pretty attractive tonight. Finding the atmosphere
depressing, Josephine looked around. Since she had decided to return to the villa, she chose a
direction and was ready to leave.
