Feeling that Ethan was standing a little too close, Josephine avoided his gaze and took the handkerchief from him to wipe her mouth.
When she stole a glance at him, she noticed that he was placing some clothes by the bed and tidying up the nightstand without even looking at her.
Her face flushed slightly.
It seemed she had read too much into it.
Around 7:00 pm, Ethan received a call and left the manor. Before leaving, he specifically reminded her not to skip dinner.
As a 23-year-old adult, Josephine couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed—being treated like a child who needed constant reminders to eat properly.
"Okay, okay, I won't skip my meal." After reassuring him multiple times, she finally put his worries to rest, and Ethan left.
Once he was gone, she immediately called William.
"Ms. Dunn, perfect timing. I was just about to call you—the asset notarization is complete, so we can proceed with the divorce anytime."
Without hesitation, Josephine said, "Let's do it tomorrow. Now, I want you to—no, I should handle it. I'll contact Zayn myself."
If William talked to Zayn about the divorce, it would most likely end with him getting yelled at.
She wasn't going to avoid this anymore—she just wanted to get it over with. So, bracing herself, she called Zayn directly.
"Babe, you're the only person in the world I'd wake up for," Zayn's drowsy voice came through the moment the call connected.
It was obvious he had just woken up, his voice thick with exhaustion.
Josephine didn't waver and got straight to the point. "Zayn, the asset notarization is done. I'll be back in Crestwood tomorrow. Let's finalize the divorce."
