When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 252

Ethan had long expected Josephine to say that. When she was younger, she had done the same thing—distancing herself from her male friends just to avoid making their girlfriends jealous.

And now, she wanted to pull the same trick on him? Not a chance.

"What you're saying makes no sense," Ethan said.

"Why not?" Josephine was puzzled.

Ethan chuckled. "Because my first love is right in front of me."

That single sentence left Josephine stunned. She stared at Ethan in disbelief, at a loss for words.

"Me? You must be joking."

Ethan's gaze was serious, carrying an emotion she couldn't quite decipher. "I'm not joking. I was planning to tell you today anyway. I just didn't expect you to bring it up first. Josephine, do you really not remember me at all? We used to be best friends who talked about everything."

Josephine was utterly confused.

She shook her head firmly. "Impossible. You have to be joking. If I had met you before, there's no way I would've forgotten. How could I have been best friends with you and not remembered? It's not like I have amnesia."

Ethan found her reaction amusing. "Think again. When you were little, did you have many male friends?"

"Of course not!"

Back then, after her parents' divorce, she had isolated herself and refused to interact with anyone. It wasn't until middle school that she finally started opening up again.

And now, Ethan was nearly 6'2" and 140 pounds at most.

She had never considered the possibility before, so she never thought they looked alike. But now, the more she looked, the more convinced she became. His eyes and nose were exactly the same as Graham's.

"You're really Graham?"

Ethan grinned. "You finally recognized me. I was hoping you'd figure it out on your own, but you're just too slow. If I waited for you to realize it by yourself, who knows how many years it would take? So, I had to give you a little hint."

That wasn't a hint—it was a straight-up confession!

Josephine was stunned. "No way… You lost all that weight? And turned out this handsome? No wonder people say every fat kid has hidden potential. But you? You weren't just potentially handsome—you must have taken some kind of magical elixir!"
