Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1801

"Justin, how do you feel about Joyce?" Jasmine had considered that it would be wonderful if Joyce could become her sister-in-law one day.

"Why do you suddenly ask such a strange question?" Justin was reluctant to answer any questions about women, especially about Joyce, whom he didn't want to consider romantically.

"You see, I like Joyce. She's really beautiful, and if she marries you, wouldn't that be wonderful for both of us?" Jasmine beamed with joy as she explained her reasoning to Justin. She really thought this was a good idea.

"No way!" Justin directly and vehemently vetoed her proposal.

"But why? She's single, and you're single too. I think that you are a perfect match." Jasmine pouted, very upset by his reaction. How could he disagree? It was such a wonderful notion in her eyes.

"It is very simple - I just don't love her! She is just like a sister to me, the same as you are to me. You're both my sisters. That's it," Justin said very seriously, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. He was not going to entertain such wild ideas.

"But love can develop over time. I heard that Mommy and Daddy were also in an arranged marriage. But everyone can see how much they love each other now." To reach her goal, Jasmine was trying her best to persuade Justin.

"Jasmine, you only see their happiness at present. But you don't know how miserable Mommy was before. Anyway, I don't approve of a marriage which isn't built on love from the beginning." Justin was a little annoyed. They were always trying to fix him up with Joyce recently.

"Okay. It's fine, if you don't like her. But did you have to shout it out so loudly? You scared me!" Jasmine placed a trembling hand over her chest. She was really frightened by his raised voice.

"I don't want to hear nonsense like that anymore. If you really want a sister-in-law, I will try my best to find one." Justin didn't have any idea as to what his future wife would be like. But he valued feelings above all other considerations. As long as he loved her, then everything would work out.

"But Justin, I can't help but wonder why you feel so annoyed at the mere mention of Joyce?" If he really didn't like Joyce, she would stop nagging once he clearly showed his stand. But what was wrong with him? His excessively strong disapproval made her confused.

"It is because you are always trying to matchmake us." Justin also realized that he had overreacted, so he softened his voice.

"I just casually mentioned it. Don't get all upset about it. No one is forcing you to marry her," Jasmine said in frustration. 'Come on, just laugh it off now, ' she thought.

"Okay, let's drop it. We're here, you can get out of the car now," Justin said while stepping out of the vehicle. Only then did Jasmine realize that they had already arrived home. She watched Justin stride towards the house, with angry steps. She was still confused and hurt by his earlier outburst. He had been so rude to her!

After entering the house, Justin immediately went upstairs. When he met Edward on the stairway, he only shot a cold glance at him and silently walked past.

"How could that be possible? Justin is a good brother who loves his sister dearly. It is impossible that he would argue with her." Edward repudiated Daisy's question with a sullen look. He felt that this was an impossibility as the children loved each other, and Daisy was stupid to ask such a question.

"Nothing is impossible. You also love me. But aren't you quarreling with me right now?" Daisy stared back calmly and set the tea service on the table. She didn't want to talk about this anymore.

"It is all because of them that I lost my temper." Edward's voice trailed off, as he realized that his arbitrary argument was no longer up for discussion.

"Oh! So, since you can't do anything to them, you decided to vent your anger on me instead." Daisy was exasperated. The trouble had started with his free-range-education methods. He did not enjoy his children's respect, because he had often laughed off their inappropriate behavior, thus losing his authority over them.

"Sorry, honey. I was just so mad at them! I didn't mean to take it out on you with a temper tantrum. I'm sorry," Edward hurriedly apologized, seeking her favor and forgiveness. He could offend anyone but his wife in this house. It was important to respect this unspoken law, because it would decide whether he would sleep in the study, or in the master bedroom tonight.

"Really?" While making the tea, Daisy maintained her air of inequity with an intimidating tone.

"Of course! I have never lied to you." Since he had given his promise to her, he would always act with fealty, and love her till death.
