Novel1Chapter 144
Thanks to Ethan's weird actions, Josephine was distracted from the video.
"Let's go."
Ethan was caught off guard by her words. "Where are we going?"
"Didn't you say you were going to buya slice of cake?"
He didn't expect her to still want to go. Ethan stared at her tear-filled eyes and nodded. "Let's go, it's just
ahead."
As they continued walking, the mood was entirely different.
Ethan slowed down his pace while Josephine walked slowly as well.
Fortunately, the bakery wasn't far away. However, after walking about 100 yards, he stopped in his tracks. When
he read the "Closed" sign hanging at the door, he let out a sigh.
Bad luck kept piling on.
He was hoping that the cake would cheer her up.
Staring at the tightly shut door, Josephine shrugged. "Well, looks like we won't get cake tonight. Let's go home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI'll call an Uber."
She opened Uber and clicked on her haddress. "Why don't you call an Uber too? It's late. If we share a ride,
it will take a long tfor you to get home."
Ethan replied, "I don't have theon my phone."
"Let's share a car then."
The ride arrived quickly. Before the car could fully stop, Josephine reached out for the door handle and pulled it
open.
The driver was startled. He was about to lash out at Josephine, but the moment he saw her face, he swallowed
his words.
Sometimes, being attractive had its perks.
"Is this the ride for 8989?"
"Yes, that's me."
Josephine slid into the backseat on the far side. Ethan followed and sat down next to her. After closing the door,
the first thing he did was lean over to fasten the seatbelt for her.
BUMS
On the way back, she just kept quiet and stared out the window in silence.
Ethan didn't say a word as well. He looked at his phone and read the news carefully.
"Lately, there have been rumors of problems with Zayn Forbes’
marriage, Sources claim that Nadine is his true love and that his wife is merely part of a contractual marriage.
However, the truth
remains unclear. We will havelife?
wait for Zayn to provide clarification."
"Earlier today, he lashed out at reporters, insisting he only loved his wife. But in just a few hours, he was caught
passionately kissing Nadine Sommers backstage. Who exactly is Nadine Sommers? Let's dig into her
background."
He wasn't trying to defend Zayn, but judging by the words used, it didn't seem like Zayn had hired someone to
write the article. More likely, Nadine was behind this.
The article barely mentioned Zayn's wife, while dedicating a significant part to introducing Nadine's background.
In cases like this, the person who stood to benefit the most was usually the one who had paid for the exposure.
In this case, Nadine was the biggest winner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if Nadine had orchestrated it, Zayn was the one who gave her the opportunity. He was complicit as well.
Even though Ethan hoped that Zayn would be more despicable so that Josephine would be disappointed in him,
he didn't want her to be hurt like this.
Suddenly, Josephine's phone rang.
She looked exhausted. She only looked at the phone after a while. When she saw Zayn's name, she declined the
call without hesitation.
After hanging up, her phone was bombarded with messages.
They were basically from the "friends" that she had made in the past three years, all pretending to check in on
her.
