Chapter 908
Seeing that it was Josh, the two hounds stopped barking and wagged their tails at him.
Josh was often around the Soxes‘ residence in the name of hanging out with Drake. His frequent visits gave Mrs. Sox the wrong idea that Josh took a fancy to Drake, but it also drew him closer to the two hounds.
Drake came to open the door.
“Are you here for me?”
Josh answered with a smile, “You wish. I’m here for your sister.”
Drake grinned. “I found out yesterday that my mom thought you had a crush on me. Haha! That was hilarious.”
“I’m surprised Mrs. Sox took it the wrong way.”
“Well, you always came looking for me. Anyway, my sister’s getting dressed upstairs. She said she doesn’t care if you come, but she hasn’t decided what to wear since getting up. Oh, women. It’s one of those no–means–yes moments.”
Josh told him off, “Don’t speak ill of your sister in front of me.”
Drake commented, “Are you on her side already?”
“Drake, is that Josh? Oh, it is Josh. Come on in.”
Mrs. Sox waited at the door.
Josh handed the gift over to Mrs. Sox and shyly uttered, “Mrs. Sox, I wasn’t sure what you and Mr. Sox like, so I bought a little something I thought was nice. I hope you’d like it.”
“Oh, you didn’t have to. Mr. Sox and I are happy enough that you came.”
Well, more like relieved–their single daughter had finally caught the eyes of a brilliant man.
