When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Yvan looked completely indifferent. "Who you call is your business. No need to run it by me," he replied flatly.

Josephine remained silent.

Who else was she supposed to discuss it with if not him?

In all of Sunvale, the only people connected to Zayn were herself, Yvan, and Nadine.

But Josephine had absolutely no desire to talk to Nadine.

Seeing Yvan was unwilling to help, she turned to Ethan. After a brief hesitation, she decided against it.

Ethan had already done her a huge favor by coming over. She couldn't drag him any further into this.

Forget it. She would just find a nurse.

With that thought, she stood up and headed for the door.

To her surprise, Yvan followed. Exasperated, she sighed. "I'm not leaving. I just need to ask the nurse something. Stay here and keep an eye on him.

Yvan scoffed. "For what? The doctor already said he's fine. You think staring at him is going to make him wake up faster?"

"You should still stay. Otherwise, I'll leave for real," she replied firmly and shot him a glare.

Then, she pushed the door open and walked out with a face full of displeasure.

Once she left, only Yvan and Ethan remained in the hospital room.

Ethan had been silent since Yvan arrived. Now that Josephine had left, he became even more reserved.

He leaned against the window quietly. His gaze was fixed on a random spot in the room. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Yvan, on the other hand, was completely at ease. He plopped onto the couch and casually picked up a magazine to read.

However, his attention drifted to Ethan continuously.

Who was this guy?

This man was always with Josephine whenever Yvan had run into her lately. He stuck to her like a shadow. Didn't he have better things to do?

Was he not worried about spending all day around a married woman? Did he not care about the rumors?

Still, Yvan had to admit that the guy was good-looking. He was just the type Josephine, a hopeless romantic, would fall for.

Yvan's irritation grew the more he thought about it. Josephine had no self-control when it came to attractive men.

Who knew what would happen if the two kept spending so much timez together? What if she got drunk one night and ended up in his arms? And if he then demanded she take responsibility...

Yvan's mood soured as he pondered on the thought. He tossed the magazine aside and crossed his arms.

He shot Ethan a sharp look and asked, "Who are you? I haven't seen you before."

Ethan slowly lifted his gaze to meet Yvan's. With a calm expression, he replied, "I'm Josephine's friend. I haven't met you before either."

"Friend?" Yvan sneered.

"A new friend? A month ago, she was too busy playing house as Mrs. Forbes to socialize with anyone. She had shut herself off and barely had any friends. You must've gotten close to her after the divorce Am I right?"

"Sorry, but you're wrong. I've known her for a long time," Ethan replied, looking unfazed.

A long time? Bullshit.noveldrama

He couldn't have known Josephine for more than three years. No matter what,

there was no way he had known her longer than Yvan had.

Yvan had met Josephine the year

she turned 17 years old. He had been there for her 18th birthday.. The two only lost touch when she returned to the country at 19
