When Love Breaks (Josephine)

With Winnie's help, Josephine smoothly arrived at the Zimmerman residence.

To her delight, Winnie's grandfather, Frank Zimmerman, welcomed her personally. That meant that Winnie genuinely liked Josephine and recognized her as a friend. "Young lady, I heard you're here to buy my calligraphy?"

Josephine replied honestly, "Mr. Zimmerman, to be frank, I offended a friend. He happens to love calligraphy, so I'd like to give him a piece from you to ask for his forgiveness.

"I hope you can let me buy one of your works."

"Oh, you're using my calligraphy as a token of apology."

Frank smiled and was unbothered by the request.noveldrama

"Alright then. I'll do you this favor. Come with me."

He led her upstairs. When they turned into a hallway, she ran into a familiar face.

Josephine was surprised. The other girl even let out a little scream.

"Jasmine?"

"Ms. Dunn!"

It turned out that Jasmine was the same girl that Matthew had asked to be put into the movie during the dinner back then.

Josephine didn't know she was Frank's granddaughter. That meant that she was Winnie's cousin.

What a small world.

Josephine couldn't help but laugh. "If I had known you and Winnie were related, Mr. Frye wouldn't have had to ask."

Jasmine was already Josephine's fan. When she heard that Josephine was her cousin's friend and that she was here to buy her grandfather's calligraphy, she became overjoyed.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Frank's arm and wouldn't let go.

"Grandpa, she's the director of the movie I'm in. You can't take her money. And you shouldn't give her an unwanted piece. Please write something to her personally.

"Grandpa, I'm begging you!"

Josephine was surprised to see the shy girl from before acting so lively in front of her family.

Josephine smiled faintly and couldn't help but feel envious.

She couldn't remember the last time

jel

she had acted so freely around her own family. Perhaps she was around five. Or maybe when she was six.

Frank couldn't resist Jasmine's pleading and agreed with a smile.

"What would you like me to write?"

Josephine was taken aback. "Mr.

elet

Zimmerman Senior, if it's okay with you, could you please write something to express my apology? That would be perfect."

"An apology?" Frank stared at her while peering over his reading glasses. "Are

you asking me to just write 'I'm sorry"?"

That would seem a little too casual.

Jasmine's eyes lit up. "Ms. Dunn, why don't you write a joke?"

Josephine became curious. "A joke?"

"Yes. An ex-boyfriend of mine told me this. It really works. I remember forgiving him after reading it."

"Are you sure it's effective? What's the joke?"

Jasmine's eyes narrowed. "Are you a banana? Because I find you a-peeling.....

and I'm sorry for sleeping up."

"Uhm... I think this is too cutesy."

Goosebumps appeared all over Josephine's arms.

"I'm just friends with him. I don't think something cutesy like this is suitable."

Jasmine nodded in response. "It's not suitable? How about this? I must

be a snowflake, because I've fallen for you... and I'm sorry if I made you feel cold lately."

Josephine was speechless.

She really envied the younger girls, being able to pull off such cutesy acts effortlessly.

If Ethan was her boyfriend, this wouldn't be a problem. But they weren't in a relationship.

A serious apology would make things even more awkward, but something too playful would be cringe.
