NovelEnglishJosephine blinked, then a smile slowly crept onto her face. The look in Ethan's eyes, as he stared at her, was somewhat familiar to her. Although it lacked the affection and intimacy. that it used to have, she was happy that Ethan wanted to recover his memories for her sake.
Ethan led Josephine up to the southern corridor of the third floor. That was where Ethan's room was. The household staff had placed Josephine’s luggage inside the living area of his bedroom suite. Josephine blushed at the sight of it. Does Mrs. Quarles want Ethan and me to share the same room? While Josephine didn’t mind, she didn’t know if Ethan would.

He had a scar that was less than two inches long and it did nothing to affect his attractive looks, though his shaved head added an air of masculinity to him. Josephine cleared her throat. “Ethan, do you.... want to sleep in separate rooms?” She knew that in Ethan’s mind, she was still a stranger. It would be quite awkward for him to be so intimate with her when he didn’t have feelings for her! What if he doesn't like to be disturbed? He might need his space to carry out his private matters. “I'm fine either way.” Ethan shook his head and let Josephine decide.
Josephine mulled it over. Even though she wanted to get close to Ethan as soon as possible, he didn’t know her at all, and she ran the risk of leaving a bad impression on him if she got too physically intimate with him so soon. In the end, she decided that they should sleep in separate rooms.
She was afraid that being in the same room would only make it impossible for her to resist the urge to be intimate with him. She reminded herself to keep her emotions in check for now. Let's wait until Ethan likes me again.
“I think it's best if we sleep in separate rooms for now, Josephine said. “Why don’t you take the bed? | can take the couch.” Ethan had no problem with sharing a room with her.
“That won't do. You should be resting and recuperating. How can | possibly let you sleep on the couch? Let's just wait until you've fully recovered and see,” Josephine declared. Ethan had no choice but to go along with her choice. “Alright. | respect your decision.” He's just as gentlemanly as ever. Josephine’s eyes were filled with love and adoration. The warmth and intensity of her gaze made Ethan feel a surprising flicker of bashfulness. He was too shy to meet her gaze.
Josephine chuckled when she saw Ethan getting embarrassed, and that didn’t escape Ethan's notice. Her clear eyes sparkled like the stars. He wasn't at all surprised that his past self had fallen in love with her. Even now, he who had lost all his memories was still enraptured by her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJosephine chose the guest room beside Ethan's bedroom. They were the only two who stayed in this section of the house so they would not be disturbed by anyone.
Dinner was a sumptuous feast. Donna was a very hospitable host. She was also glad to see that despite having lost his memories, Ethan paid just as much care and attention to Josephine as ever.
Truth be told, she was worried that her son would distance himself from Josephine after his memory loss, or perhaps fall in love with another woman. Either one of these situations would undoubtedly hurt Josephine.
And, when Ethan did regain his memories, he would feel extremely guilty and remorseful as well. Thus, the best possible outcome was for Ethan to fall in love with Josephine once more and resume their relationship.
At night, the estate lit up with light. Josephine was in her room sorting out her belongings when Donna brought some clothes over for her. They were all pretty dresses from luxury brands. Due to Josephine’s line of work, she rarely wore dresses.
However, the dresses did suit the atmosphere of the place better. As Josephine lay in bed that night, she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Ethan who was sleeping in the room next to hers. What's he doing? Has he fallen asleep yet?I wish | could go over and see him! | wish | could talk to him... All of a sudden, a knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. Is someone here to give me something? She got out of bed and opened the door to find a man in pajamas staring at her with a look of hunger in his eyes. “Can we talk?” Josephine wasn't going to say no. While Ethan was in the hospital, the doctors dropped by often and Ethan's family was around most of the time too, so she wasn’t able to talk to him in private. She really wanted to spend some alone time with him too.
