Chapter 3
Josephine was stunned
Then, she muttered, “No way! Liliana told me it was Room 1808 of Royal Hotel. Did she make a mistake?”
Sagnar gritted his teeth and said, “This is Royal Diamond Hotel! Royal Hotel you mentioned is on the other street, in the same location!”
Josephine was rendered speechless.
Her terrible sense of direction had brought her to the wrong place once again.
Ragnar looked cold and intimidating. In a tone that left no room for discussion, he told Josephine, “Go and wait for me in the living room. Don’t you dare. to run away! Otherwise…”
Josephine had no choice but to go to the living room obediently
After a while, Ragnar came out fully dressed.
He looked at Josephine and said, “Give me your phone!”
Josephine was taken aback for a moment.
Soon after, realization dawned upon her, and her cheeks instantly turned red. “I accidentally took that photo. I will delete it immediately,” she quickly explained
Josephine browsed her phone album as she spoke and deleted the picture she had taken immediately when she found it.
After that, she handed her phone to Ragnar and said, “Just one! I’ve deleted it.”
“Okay.” Ragnar hummed a response.
Then, he looked at Josephine with his dark eyes and said, “But you suddenly broke in and looked at something you shouldn’t have looked at. Don’t you need to take responsibility for that?”
Josephine said, “Responsibility?”
“Responsibility? How?” she wondered.
Ragnar told Josephine, “Since you saw me naked, you should take responsibility for that! Besides, you said you were here to catch your cheating boyfriend? I believe you won’t want to stay with a man who has cheated on you?”
Ragnar continued, “My previous proposal is still valid. Marry me, be my wife, and take care of Danny and Manny for me.”
Ragnar was a businessman.
He would find a way to sign the contracts and get the people he wanted.
Except for Josephine, Ragnar hadn’t found a candidate who could satisfy his requirement. He was actually thinking of an alternative to get his way.
Unexpectedly, Josephine came to him first.
He would not miss the chance.
Nevertheless, Josephine stood firm in her decision to refuse his offer. “Mr. Levine, I told you that if it’s just being a regular nanny, I will gladly accept the job. But I don’t want to get married right away and become a stepmother. Besides, I didn’t see anything just now! I closed my eyes the moment I went
in…
Josephine wanted to argue. She refused to admit that she saw something she shouldn’t have.

Chapter 3
Unfortunately for her. Ragnar’s dark eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s. “You saw it! And you saw it clearly! In addition to that…”
Ragnar’s eyes fell on Josephine’s phone. “When you deleted the photo just now, you should have seen it clearly for the second time, right?”
Josephine was dumbfounded.
“I’ve never forced someone against their will, but Ms. Yeager, if you refuse to be my wife after seeing something that only my wife is allowed to see, naturally, you will need to compensate for this. I’m the CEO of Levine Group. Based on my prominent status, you should compensate me 15 million dollars!” Ragnar demanded.
Josephine almost choked on her saliva upon hearing that.
“Is he not forcing me against my will now? And 15 million dollars? I’m not even worth this much money! The most important thing is that I only took a look at his body. It wasn’t like I hit or punch him!” Josephine almost shrieked in her mind.
Ragnar looked at Josephine indifferently as he continued to say, “Ms. Yeager, I believe you will make a choice that will satisfy me.”
Josephine left the hotel and didn’t bother to catch her boyfriend anymore.
When she returned to her aunt’s home, she heard her aunt’s mother–in–law Samantha Zimmerman, scolding her aunt, Yennefer Yeager.
“Four years you’ve been married to my son, Jonathan, and you can’t even have a child! Tell me, what else can you do? I don’t know what bad luck has bestowed on the Zimmerman family to have you as our daughter–in–law. You’re like a hen that can’t lay any eggs! And your niece, Josephine, who has been living in our house all the time can’t offer any help too…”
Twenty–three years ago, Josephine’s father married into the Yeager family.
At that time, the Yeager family had two daughters, Nancy Yeager, and Yennefer Yeager.
Nancy was Josephine’s mother.
When Josephine was ten years old, her parents and maternal grandparents died in a plane crash.
As a result of the tragic accident, the then fifteen–year–old Yennefer and ten–year–old Josephine had lived together ever since.
Four years ago, Yennefer married Jonathan Zimmerman and brought Josephine with her. Until now, Yennefer had no children.
Therefore, Josephine often heard Samantha scolding Yennefer.
In fact, Samantha was scolding vigorously.
She turned around and saw Josephine coming back.
She immediately smiled, “Josie, you’re back. It must be a tiring day today.”
“It’s all right,” said Josephine.
Samantha smiled kindly again and said to Josephine, “Josie, have you given a thought about what I told you last time? How long have you been living with your aunt in my house? You have to think about it for your aunt, right?”
Yennefer’s face darkened. “Samantha, you should stop!”
Samantha glared at Yennefer and said, “Why should I stop? If you’re even a tad useful, I won’t have to spend so much effort on this. After all, I’m doing it for your own good!”
Samantha paused and continued, “As the saying goes, keep the goodies within the family. You and Josie have been relying on each other for so many years. Josie is healthy. She must be able to give birth to a healthy child. What’s the problem for her to bear a child for you and Jonathan? When Josie gives birth to a child, you can take care of the baby-”
Yennefer couldn’t stand the nonsense anymore and interjected, “Samantha, I won’t agree to this. Just give the idea up!”

Chapter 3
Samantha’s ridiculous idea shocked both Yennefer and Josephine.
Yennefer pulled Josephine directly into the room. “Josie, don’t listen to my mother–in–law. Just ignore her!”
Josephine nodded.
She never took Samantha’s words to heart.
If it weren’t for the fact that Samantha was Yennefer’s mother–in–law, Josephine would have long lashed out at that old woman.
Samantha thought that Yennefer was infertile, so Samantha began to turn her attention toward Josephine.
“Aunt Yennefer, are you happy in this family?” Josephine asked.
Yennefer lowered her eyes and said, “It will be fine!”
Yennefer and Jonathan were college classmates.
At that time, Yennefer was the campus belle, and she was also a very talented girl.
Jonathan was one of the many people who pursued Yennefer.
Although he wasn’t all that great, Jonathan was a sincere man and treated Yennefer extremely well.
He touched Yennefer’s heart with his genuineness.
He promised that he would be good to Yennefer and Josephine for the rest of his life.
But when they got married, everything changed.
Since the day Yennefer married Jonathan, Yennefer had encountered all kinds of difficulties from her mother–in–law, Samantha.
At first, Jonathan still protected her. Although Samantha didn’t like it, she didn’t dare to go too far.

But four years later, after Yennefer failed to give Jonathan a child, Samantha’s attitude toward her took a turn for the worse. The scolding and cursing
were incessant.
“My life seems to be a mess. But Josie, I’m sure it will be better. Your Uncle Jonathan loves me very much. It’s just that we don’t have a child now…”
Yennefer still believed in the vows that her husband had made to her. She believed that the man would give up his life for her and would always be kind
to her.
“Okay.” Josephine nodded.
She knew that her aunt still had feelings for Jonathan..
“Aunt Yennefer, maybe it will be better after I move out. If you can have a child then, your hardship will be over.”
