Chapter 2178
Night of Destiny
Am I seeing things? Is he not angry that Josephineâs fangirling over a guy singer? Josephine turned to
Ethan. âThe concert is this Friday. Can you come with me?â
Ethan nodded. âSure.â It was then Josephine realized that she was so engrossed with the conversation,
she neglected him. She felt for his hand so that she could hold it, but she touched his thigh instead.
That was when Ethan grabbed her hand, and she smiled at him. Ethen said gently, âIâll get you the best
spot.â
It wasnât loud, but everyone heard it. All of them could feel the love in the air. Tori looked down, envy
filling her heart. She couldnât believe a guy could actually allow his girlfriend to fangirl over a guy singer,
and to think he would get her the tickets for the best spot so they could enjoy the concert together.
Have I been wrong about men?
Food was served eventually, and everyone dug in. Josephine cut up a piece of steak and fed it to
Ethan. After he gulped it down, he fed her a piece as well, and she munched down on it. They were
showing their love openly, and everyone was envious.
Soon, it was time to raise some toast. Atticus made the first one, and that was when Tori found an
excuse to go to Ethan. She held up a glass of red wine and swayed her hips as she walked toward him,
and then she placed a hand on the table. Sweetly, she said, âA toast, Mr. Quarles.â
Ethan waved her down. âI canât. Iâm driving later.â âIâll take that, Tori.â Josephine stood up and raised
Ethanâs glass for him, causing Toriâs smile to freeze. âCongratulations on finding a good boyfriend,
Josephine.â
âThank you. And I hope youâll find your happiness one day.â Tori went back to her seat, but her mood
was foul. She dressed herself up perfectly tonight, and yet she was now among the crowd she looked
down on. She felt like she was a joke. Frustrated, she downed glass after glass of wine. A male worker
who liked her said, âYou should stop, Tori.â
Tori was a good drinker, so this much wasnât enough to take her out. Josephine then went to the
restroom, and Tori did the same. Right after Josephine finished washing her hands, Tori came out of
the cubicle. They stared at each other in the mirror, and Tori blurted, âWhat did you do to him to make
him so infatuated with you?â
âTori, I donât care what you do with the other guys, but if you try to take Ethan, Iâll make you pay,
Josephine warned as she looked at Tori in the mirror. âIs that a threat? Youâre not even that established
as his girlfriend yet, Tori snapped back.
âDonât challenge me,â said Josephine quietly. Tori shot her a look of mockery. âYouâre just insecure. I
know men, and Ethanâs the kind where women would throw themselves at his feet whenever he goes.
If youâre that insecure about yourself, you should leave.â
Josephine refused to talk to her, but Toril wouldnât stop. âDo you really think heâll only love you forever?
Any man with money will never love a single woman. Theyâre the same, and. women will always be the
object they chase after. Heâs not going to only love you forever. Even without me, someone else will try
to take him away from you.â
Josephine wasnât exactly a cocky person, but she would never dwell on matters she couldnât control. All
she wanted was a good life. She enjoyed the process, not the end, and that included relationships.
Even if she were to break up with Ethan someday, she wouldnât dwell on it. What mattered was that the
love. was there, and it was real.
