Chapter 2143

Are you worried, Mom?’ Seeing the look on Heidi’s face, Josephine was a little afraid that her mother

was against their relationship. “I can’t help but worry because our family is not in the same class as

him! The most blissful marriage is one between two families of similar backgrounds. With such a great

difference, I’m afraid that you’ll turn into their servant if you marry him, Heidi explained, expressing her

concerns to her daughter.

“The Quarles Family is too high in the hierarchy and there are only a handful of families within the

country who are comparable to them. First of all, I hope you won’t marry far away, and secondly, I don’t

want you to marry into a family of higher status. I just want you to marry a man with a stable income

and live your life peacefully,” she said and sighed.

Looking into her mother’s worried eyes, Josephine didn’t know how she could comfort her. In the end,

she said with certainty, “But I like him, and I’m in love with him.”

Even Heidi was aware that no woman would be able to resist a man with Ethan’s looks and status. “I

know and I feel you. How far are you guys into the relationship now?’ Heidi asked in a serious tone,

studying her daughter. Blushing, Josephine answered, “Well… we just started dating.”

Heidi knew that she shouldn’t question more. Given society nowadays, it didn’t matter which stage of

the relationship they were in. Josephine was at an age where she should have experienced it all.

“Alright. Let’s see how the relationship goes, then! I’m not against it and will treat him normally.” In the

end, Heidi decided not to place any pressure on Josephine. Truth was, she liked Ethan very much.

Meanwhile, Ethan was having tea and chatting with Mills downstairs. It also came as a surprise to Mills

that Josephine had started dating a man with such an impressive background after not seeing her for a

week. After observing Ethan’s mannerisms for a while, he concluded that Ethan was the best of the

best and the elite amongst the elites. The young man’s morals, values, and plan for his life were all

very practical and clear.

At the same time, Mills also found out about Ethan’s feelings for Josephine. To his pleasant surprise,

not only was Ethan ready to reside in Averna, he had already bought a stake in the broadcasting

company where Josephine was working and a villa in the surrounding area. He did all these because of

his daughter.

“Oh, would you look at the time! It’s almost 6.00PM and we’re still at home. Come on, Ethan! Let’s have

dinner at Joey’s grandfather’s place, Heidi said warmly. “Mom, I’ll be taking a car with Ethan.”

After Mills drove out of his property, he saw a sports car parked in front of their house. From one look at

the color, he knew that the car was meant for a lady and wondered whether it was Ethan’s gift to

Josephine.

Seeing this, Mills hoped that Josephine would look at her relationship with Ethan with a clear head

despite the material gifts, and not get caught up with monetary gratification. Emotional satisfaction was

also equally important.

On the way to Peter’s place, Mills filled Heidi in on his conversation with Ethan. He did so much for

Joey in such a short period of time, huh? she thought in surprise and couldn’t help but recall the

Presgrave wedding the last time. How exactly did they get to know each other and be so deeply in love

in such a short time?

“Why is Ethan so attracted to Joey?” Heidi asked, turning to Mills. “Our daughter has a rather

impressive and admirable strength, which is the energy she carries with her. A determined, persistent

energy just like me when I was young.”

“Alright, alright. You can just compliment your daughter without taking one for yourself as well!” Heidi

complained jokingly. Still, the couple was in high spirits when.

Josephine introduced her boyfriend to them. In Ethan’s car, it was quiet because

Josephine didn’t say anything. Ethan’s deep-set eyes saw through everything, as though by magic.

“Did my background cause pressure on your family?” he asked. “Yeah, you did give them quite a shock

because my parents don’t have any friends from a prestigious background such as yours,” Josephine

muttered with a laugh.

“Trust me. I’ll convince them that we’re good together,” Ethan murmured as he turned to her with a

determined look in his eyes. Her lips curved into a pleasant smile and she nodded. “Okay!”

Peter’s place was a house with a small garden, where he now lived out his semiretired days.
