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.”

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.
Here they thought their son might marry a man. It was all a misunderstanding. That
was another reason to feel relieved.
Josh stepped into the house and met Mr. Sox. Josh shyly said hello.
Mr. Sox returned a smile with a much friendlier look on his face.

Now that the air was cleared up, Mr. Sox suddenly saw Josh in a positive light.
After gesturing for Josh to sit down, Mrs. Sox told her son, “Tell your sister to come down. Josh is here. We should
get going to your aunt’s place.”
“Alright.” Drake rushed upstairs to call his sister.
Mr. Sox handed Josh a cigarette.

Mrs. Sox complimented, “That’s a good habit. Jasmine doesn’t like men who smoke.”
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.”
