When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 251

Josephine was fast asleep when she suddenly felt herself being lifted. She let out a soft whimper and instinctively curled into Ethan's embrace, adjusting herself into a comfortable position before drifting off again.

He chuckled. He found her adorable when she was drunk. If everyone in the world behaved like her when they were drunk, crime rates would probably drop significantly.

When they reached the car, he carefully placed her in the back seat, draped his jacket over her, and only then did he get into the driver's seat and start the engine.

Driving slowly had its advantages. Josephine slept peacefully in the back, looking as comfortable as if she were in her own bed.

An hour later, Ethan finally pulled up in front of the manor. She had fallen into an even deeper sleep, her furrowed brows now relaxed. But her lips remained pouted, showing that something was troubling her.

He carried her inside and found Gloria still waiting up. After a brief hesitation, he said, "Josephine's drunk. Come upstairs and help her freshen up and change into pajamas."

"Of course," Gloria replied, immediately following him upstairs.

However, when Ethan tried to place Josephine on the bed, she stirred uneasily and wrapped her arms around his neck, refusing to let go.

As he leaned forward to adjust her, she suddenly tightened her grip and pulled him down. His face landed directly on her collarbone.

His whole body tensed. He immediately stood back up and turned away, striding toward the door.

After taking a few steps, he remembered to say, "Help her change."

Gloria chuckled. "Alright, alright, I'll take care of it."

Standing in the doorway, Ethan loosened his tie and exhaled deeply. Now that she had let Zayn go, he could finally pursue her.

The next morning, Josephine woke up to find herself in her own bed.
