When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 239

"Not even Yvan?"

The moment Ethan said that, he regretted it. He knew that he had overstepped as this was none of his business.

However, Josephine was still in a daze. She didn't take it to heart and replied casually, "He probably doesn't have anything important to say. He's just looking for a fight."

As soon as she said that, her phone rang.

She looked at the screen and chuckled. "Speak of the devil."

It was Yvan calling.

As expected, the moment the call connected, Yvan started shouting."

"Josephine! Who gave you the guts to ignore my calls and even block me?"

"First, I don't need any 'guts' to block you. I can do whatever I want. Second, I didn't block you. My phone was on airplane mode.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Airplane mode?" Yvan was puzzled. "Are you on a plane?"

She didn't want to tell him that she fainted, so she just continued, "No, just say what you want to say."

"Forbes Group just held a shareholders' meeting. The proxy of the shareholder who bought your shares showed up. He's an elderly man with grey hair.

"Also, during the meeting, Zayn promised all the shareholders that he wouldn't get a divorce. You'd better be prepared.

"If you insist on getting a divorce, he'll likely make it hell for you."

If this had been before today, she wouldn't have had much of a reaction to hearing this.

It was nothing more than just a difficult divorce. So what?

But now, hearing it made her stomach churn with disgust.

How could Zayn still easily promise others that he wouldn't get a divorce? What was he trying to do?

Was he planning on keeping her around forever? Did he expect Josephine to raise his illegitimate child?

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Even so, you have to eat it. If you don't, you'll have to drink glucose water. Would you prefer that?"

"Fine… I'll eat this then."

She had no choice but to take over the plate and eat it slowly.

The thick and sweet consistency felt unbearable.

It took her a full 30 minutes to finish it.

She had planned to take a few bites and toss them aside once Ethan left the room or got distracted.

However, Ethan stayed by her side the entire time, watching her like a hawk. He waited for her to finish everything.

Just as she was about to put the plate on the bedside table, Ethan reached out and took it from her.

Then, he picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth gently.

She was stunned.
