The man was speechless. “Does that mean I have a bad personality?” “I don’t mean it like that. I still don’t know you that well, so I won’t judge you.” Josephine smiled, her eyes narrowing. “I’ll give you more chances to get to know me,” Ethan said, raising an eyebrow.
“We may never meet again after this wedding,” said Josephine. Ethan came from an extraordinary background, and he belonged to a world completely different from hers. Their paths were like parallel lines that would never cross.
“If I create more chances, we will meet again,” Ethan suddenly turned around and commented. Josephine was stunned for a few seconds, and she suddenly felt her face turn hot. What did he mean? Was he trying to pursue her?
Soon, the car drove onto a deserted road, and the scenery was beautiful all along the way. The car pulled up at the pavement next to the beach, which was incredibly picturesque as it spread out below them.
Josephine took out her camera and snapped a few photos. Meanwhile, Ethan stood next to her and watched her. Compared to the pretty scenery around them, he was even more attracted to the woman’s beauty.
As Josephine took the photos, she sensed a pair of eyes staring at her from the side. She put down her camera and turned to look at Ethan. The man crossed his arms and met her gaze boldly. He wasn’t the slightest bit embarrassed that he was caught stealing. glances at her.
Josephine was a straightforward person, so she asked directly, “Mr. Quarles, why do you keep staring at me?” “Well, you’re kind of pretty,” Ethan answered, his eyebrows raised.
Josephine smiled and continued taking more photos. She wasn’t bothered by the fact that a man was next to her. As she walked forward with her camera, she didn’t realize the deep hole in front of her. When the man noticed this, he hastily stretched out his long arms to hold her back, pulling her into his embrace as a result.
Josephine was startled. When she came to her senses, she was already being held securely in the man’s arms. Her face was almost plastered onto his shirt, and she was slightly dazed from the faint scent of pines that wafted into her nostrils. “Why did you pull me back?” Josephine asked him.
“See for yourself,” the man said exasperatedly. Josephine lowered her head. Soon, she noticed a deep hole hiding among the lush grass. If she had stepped on it, she could’ve tripped and fallen. “Thank you.” Josephine smiled gratefully, then continued walking forward.
Time seemed to grow listless here. Josephine took photos at the front while the man followed behind her. Josephine suddenly had an idea, and she turned around to point her camera at the man. She wanted to try and see if he would get mad if she took photos of him now.
The man seemed a little exasperated through the lenses, but he still put on a few expressions and even posed a little. As Josephine looked at him through the high-definition lenses, she felt her heart thumping wildly.
She was even charmed for a few seconds by the man’s brilliant smile through the camera. He had shiny rows of teeth that gleamed attractively. His deep eyes also possessed an alluring charm like a black hole.
Josephine subconsciously pointed the lenses away and continued taking photos of the scenery. Soon, the man ran after her and suggested, “Why don’t I take a few photos of you?”
Josephine thought for a moment. The scenery was too beautiful not to take some photos of herself in it, so she passed him her camera. After Ethan took the camera, Josephine found a wall that served as the background, then gave the camera a lady-like smile.
“That’s too reserved. Act more naturally.” The man was complaining that she didn’t look natural enough. Josephine didn’t need more prodding. She pursed her lips at once, then puffed up her cheeks shortly after. She even struck some poses to get rid of the awkwardness. Unbeknownst to her, as she adjusted herself and struck different poses, the man was continuously clicking the shutter.
Hence, Josephine looked livelier and prettier in the photos now. The man curved his lips as he took the photos, and there was even a hint of mischief in his smile.
Josephine spotted an island in the distance, then asked immediately, “Can you take a photo so that I look like I’m holding up that island?” “Of course,” answered the man readily.
