Chapter 249

Fortunately, there was red wine to cleanse Josephine's palate.

The sour, slightly astringent taste perfectly balanced out the overwhelming sweetness of the food, making the meal rather enjoyable as she ate and drank at the same time.

Just as she was about to finish eating, Ethan pressed down on her fork.

"That's enough. If you keep eating, you won't have room for dessert."

Josephine burst into laughter. "Are you a kindergarten teacher? Why are you monitoring how I eat? Don't tell me you're like this with everyone. I bet if the lady of your heart found out, she'd scold you for being overprotective."

"Trust me, she wouldn't."

"Are you sure?" Josephine scoffed. "Then you really don't know women. Every woman has a possessive streak."

At that thought, she suddenly felt she should start keeping her distance from Ethan.

He was in love with someone, and chances were high that he would end up with her in the future.

Even if Josephine had no romantic intentions, she doubted that Ethan's true love would be fine with him staying this close to another woman.

But... She was a little reluctant to distance herself from him.

All this time, Ethan was the only person who had been by her side.
