The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525 Praying to God

The church in Sousturham exuded a serene atmosphere, with only a handful of visitors. Those who chose to attend the services and bow before the crucifix were devout in their faith.

For several days, Josie accompanied Claudia in prayers and quiet contemplation at the church, seeking comfort and discovering a sense of inner peace, shielded from the chaos of the outside world.

Sousturham stood majestically, adorned with luxurious mansions owned by affluent families. As a result, most of those who frequented the church held esteemed positions in society. However, their devotion and reverence while kneeling before the cross were equally fervent.

“Auntie, do you think God is real?” Josie fixed her gaze on the flickering candle flames, lost in contemplation.

Having maintained a cynical outlook and never embraced any religious faith, Josie was now reconsidering her perspective after numerous life experiences. She was inclined to the appeal of such a possibility if praying to God could bring about a positive impact or change.

“Miracles happen when you believe Him. So, Jo, do not be wary and stop overthinking.” Claudia dressed modestly, wore a serene expression, and spoke with conviction. “You don’t have to cling onto what you’ve lost because God will show you the way out if you truly believe in Him.”

Josie pursed her lips and nodded. “Knowing it as a head knowledge is one thing, but fully understanding and embracing it is another.”

Josie didn’t mention anything about the incidents that caused her to leave her home and be a hermit in Sousturham church. Claudia didn’t pry either, but she could tell that Josie had just gone through some harrowing ordeals.

“God will heal you. The sorrow in your heart will fade away with time.” Claudia held a rosary in her hand and asked, “Does your family know that you came here?”

Josie was taken aback by Claudia’s question.

To pacify her father, she had sent a message stating that she was on a business trip but purposefully omitted any mention of the Russell family. However, she had briefly explained and confided in Dexter that she required some solitary time away from him.

“They are aware.”

Claudia picked up a prayer book from one of the pews and handed it to Josie. “You seem troubled. Why don’t you pray to God and tell him your concerns and see what it leads to?”

Josie hesitated for a moment but decided to give it a try. She walked forward and knelt before the majestic stained-glass window, holding a prayer book in her hands and closing her eyes.
