Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 908

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.

Josh was well aware of the fact.

He smoked but only on rare occasions.

Josh kept cigarettes and a lighter handy for frequent social engagements.

Mrs. Sox poured Josh a drink before taking a seat in front of Josh. She looked at Josh with a smile and asked, “Does your family know about you and Jasmine?”

Josh thought to himself, ‘Is the meeting between the parents coming up soon?‘

Bearing an embarrassed smile, Josh answered, “I plan to let my family know when I finally get Jasmine to be my girlfriend, Mrs. Sox.”

He feared his family might scare Jasmine off with their overly keen friendliness.

“Okay. I have high hopes for you. You can do it. I have a gift for you. You’ll get an even bigger present when you call me Mom.”
