When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 121

Josephine was about to leave when Yvan spoke again. "My dad asked me to come here."

That single sentence made her stop in her tracks.

Noticing how easily he could control her movements, Yvan looked pleased with himself. He slowly walked up behind her. "He asked me to take care of his business in Sunvale for a while... and to look after your business too. So, I'll be staying here for a while. If you need anything, call me. Oh, and make sure you take me off your block list."

Josephine spun around and glared at him. "Take you off? You were the one who blocked me first—" But before she could finish, he had already turned and was striding back to the smokey-eyed woman.

She was furious—absolutely livid—but there was nothing she could do. After fuming for a moment, she whipped out her phone and dragged his number out of her blacklist.

Since she had her phone in hand, she decided to call Ethan. But the second she dialed his number, she heard a ringtone go off nearby. She froze and turned toward the sound—only to realize Ethan had been close by the entire time, standing near one of the street vendors.

He had been there all along; she just hadn't noticed him because she was too caught up in her anger with Yvan, too blinded by the crowd passing between them.

"Ethan." she walked up to him, looking up to meet his gaze, only to notice something felt... off. Maybe it was just her imagination, but his expression didn't hold its usual warmth. Instead, there was a coldness to it.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
