Josephine looked at Zayn coldly. "Zayn, stop embarrassing yourself. You're acting like a madman."
With that, she turned and walked toward the manor.
"Josephine, stop! Josephine! Josephine Dunn!" Zayn roared her name over and over, struggling desperately.
But the gardeners were strong from years of physical labor. Two of them held him firmly, one on each side, while George and Ethan blocked his way. He couldn't break free.
Josephine was right in front of him, yet it felt like there was an unbridgeable chasm between them.
She walked away with such determination. At that moment, he felt that even if he died right then and there, she wouldn't even spare him a single glance.
Back in the living room, Josephine sat down, hugging a pillow and curling her legs up.
Moments later, Ethan walked in.
He sat beside her and took her hand, realizing it was ice-cold. He wasn't sure if it was from the cold outside or from the fright she had just endured.
He draped his coat over her shoulders and gently rubbed her hands until they had gradually regained some warmth. Then, he was about to get up and pour her a cup of hot water.
Before he could leave, Josephine suddenly tightened her grip on his hand. "Don't go. Stay with me."
Ethan immediately sat back down. "Okay. I won't go."
She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in, resting her head lightly on his shoulder.
