Josephine went for a check-up at a nearby hospital. The examination showed only skin swelling and a cut on the corner of her mouth. However, half of her face had becswollen, making her too embarrassed to see anyone.
She didn’t want to see Ethan, as she wondered if he would find her appearance ridiculous and unattractive.
“I won't eat dinner. | want to go home. D-Don’t bother walkingback. I'll take a cab,” Josephine said as she held onto her swollen face and tried to leave quickly.

Do you think I will find you unappealing because of your appearance?” She remained silent without responding, prompting him to state firmly, “I will only feel sorry for you, never disgusted.” “I can’t face my parents right now. I'm afraid they'll think I've been bullied outside, especially. if | tell my grandfather. | can’t go home.” Josephine quickly thought of this and looked at the man who didn’t mind her appearance. “Can | stay in your hotel suite for two nights until my swelling goes down?” “Of course,” Ethan replied, thinking he needed to buy a villa as soon as possible. He couldn't keep letting this girl stay in the hotel with him forever.
Back in the car, Ethan thought about what Josephine had said to Luke earlier and turned to ask her, “Are those words you said earlier genuine?” Josephine blinked, immediately recalling what she had said earlier. One side of her face blushed as she mumbled, “I just wanted to dispel Luke’s thoughts of pursuing me.” She hadn’t given much thought to whether it. was sincere or not. Those words had just cout without much consideration. “Anyway, I'm touched tonight,” Ethan said happily, even though she had suffered.
Josephine blinked. She was willing to take that punch for him. She would have been heartbroken if Luke had punched Ethan in his handsface. Forget it. I'll take the pain! Since she had insisted on bringing Ethan here tonight, Wx not possibly let him get hurt. Josephine told her mother she had to stay. temporarily with her colleague t mplete. their work. Her mother asked who the colleague was and whether it was a man or a woman. Josephine replied that it was Wren, and her mother agreed.
With a swollen face, Josephine followed Ethan back to his hotel. He ordered a big meal when they arrived since they were both hungry. Josephine went to the bathroom and looked at her swollen, red face in the mirror, feeling bitter inside When will the swelling go down? I’m not pretty right now.
They had a romantic dinner seated by the French windows, but Josephine couldn't shake off the feeling of misery.
She lowered her head and ate her food in small bites. However, it occasionally tugged at her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
“Take your time,” Ethan urged her on the other end. Josephine put down half of her hair to cover up her swollen face. Ethan saw her small actions, but he didn’t know how to comfort her. Truth was, he genuinely didn’t care.
Even with half of Josephine’s face swollen, it didn’t affect his fondness for her.

‘Goodness, | still have to write a news article. | need it early tomorrow morning.” Josephine finished eating and sat on the couch, thereafter turning on her computer to start working. Her slender fingers danced on the keyboard, showing her experience in writing news articles.
It was said that hard-working men were the most handsome, but hard-working women were equally charming.
Ethan sat at the table, holding a glass of red wine, admiring how this. woman worked seriously. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
Josephine’s hair covered one side of her swollen face, but the other side remained delicate and beautiful under the light. Her gaze exuded a professional and competent aura. Ethan felt sorry for her and brought a glass of water over, placing it in front of her. “Take a sip of water before you continue writing.”
