“So, what did you pick?” “Some wine and supplements.” “That’s great! Grandpa likes having a drink before dinner,”
Josephine said in approval and reckoned that Ethan had a good eye for gifts.
At Josephine’s home, Heidi was a little surprised that Josephine hadn’t mentioned that she had a boyfriend before
this. “That girl told me that she was working with a colleague for the past few days! Was she dating in secret?” she
said, amused and helpless, realizing that her little girl was a grown-up now.
“You’re too protective of her. She’s already twenty-five years old. It’s about time she moves out to live by herself,”
Mills said to his wife. Regarding this, he was more open-minded compared to her. “Could her boyfriend be Luke
Clark? I think that boy is quite good. He was very friendly during the wedding.”
“Sounds good. At the very least, Dad approves of the boys from the Clark Family.” Even Mills agreed that it wouldn’t
be bad if their son-in-law was Luke.

she turned around and hooked her arm through his as they entered.
In the living room, Mills and Heidi heard their footsteps and came out to take a look. When Heidi saw Ethan, her jaw
dropped because the man was the last person she was expecting to see. Is he the guy Josephine has been dating
recently? As the best man of the Presgraves’ wedding and a friend of Elliot, he must be a member of the gentry!
While she was still in shock, Ethan greeted them, “Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobson. I’m Ethan Quarles,
Joey’s boyfriend.”
Mills wasn’t expecting that Josephine’s boyfriend would be such a tall, dashing man with a sophisticated air about
him. However, Heidi already answered warmly, “Welcome! Come on in. It’s Ethan, right? I remember you from the
wedding.” Then, she turned to Mills and explained, “He was the best man during Young Master Elliot’s wedding.”
Hearing that Ethan was a close friend of the Presgraves, Mills reckoned that his personality and status would be
better and higher than your average Joe.
“Dad, are you wearing the suit that Mom bought? You look very handsome!” Smiling brightly, Josephine grabbed
Mills’ arm and added, “I was the one who picked it out. It makes you look younger, doesn’t it?”
Mills really liked this suit, and it turned out that his daughter was the one who chose it for him. “What business is
your family running?” For his daughter’s sake, he had to start questioning Ethan about his family background.
“My family is in the shipping business. I’m living with my parents in Dansbury, but we’re in the midst of migrating
now. Soon, we’ll be residing in Averna,” Ethan replied. “Shipping? What is the name of your company?”
“Cyrus International Shipping Limited. Our headquarters is in Dansbury and the executive rights are fully in my
hands,” Ethan answered.
“Cyrus?” Mills repeated, turning to look at Ethan in shock. He couldn’t believe that the man sitting in front of him
was the young master of the world’s leading shipping giant.

At the sight of how pumped up Mills seemed, Heidi couldn’t help but ask, “Mills, have you heard of Ethan’s company
before?” Next to them, Josephine smirked. Dad’s reaction is over the top!
“Of course I’ve heard of it before. The world’s top shipping company is called Cyrus. Ethan, could this be your
company?” “Yes, that’s my family business,” Ethan admitted with a nod and a chuckle.
Heidi almost blacked out at his answer. What?! My daughter’s boyfriend is one of the world’s richest men, eh?
Initially, she thought that Ethan was just a rich young master from abroad, but his status made her jump out of her
skin. “Mom, Dad, it’s getting late. Shouldn’t we get ready and head to Grandpa’s?”
“Joey, I have some gifts to bring over. Come help me out.” After saying that, Heidi gave Josephine a look and
beckoned her to come with her. Following her upstairs, Josephine trotted into her room, and the moment the door
shut, Heidi rushed to her and asked, “Joey, tell me the truth -are you guys really dating each other?”
“Yes, we are!” Josephine admitted, nodding. “Honestly, I wish that you can marry a good and rich man, but… the
difference between our family and Ethan’s is too great!”
