Chapter 1224
Seeing that Jasmine took her time to respond to Josh, Mrs. Lowe said to Mrs. Sox, “Why isn’t Jasmine saying
anything? Josh is such a good man. She won’t find another man like him. I wish I could say yes on her behalf.”
Shawn uttered, “She shouldn’t answer too quickly. She needs time to consider. It will seem like Jas is too eager if
she gives an answer too soon.”
Jasmine was happy to give her hand in marriage. No longer playing it coy, she reached out to take the roses from
Josh and loudly responded, “Yes, Josh. I’ll marry you.”
Josh was overjoyed.
He pulled out the engagement ring and took Jasmine’s hand to put the ring on her finger.
Jasmine pulled him up.

A thundering applause broke out.
Jasmine closed her eyes and indulged in the brief mingle of hot breaths before opening her eyes. She beamed as
Josh held her.
“When did you start planning this?” she whispered while resting in his arms.
“I had been at it for a while now. I thought this idea was the best. Do you like it, Jas?”
Jasmine lifted her chin to stare at him and replied with a grin, “I wouldn’t have said yes if I didn’t like it. It doesn’t
matter to me how you propose so long as your feelings for me are true, I will never reject you.”
Of course, Jasmine was more thrilled because he went through the trouble to romance her. It showed that he
cared.
“No wonder you hadn’t called or texted me. You were preparing a surprise for me.”
Pecking her forehead, Josh dotingly uttered, “I wanted to give you a surprise. I didn’t let Drake tell you on the
phone.”
“The punk kept telling me it was something good. He left me guessing, but I didn’t think you were going to propose
to me.”
Jasmine was smothered with love and joy.
She exchanged gazes with Josh. They only had eyes for each other.
It took a while before it hit her that her family and neighbors were watching. Red–faced, Jasmine pushed Josh away.
She was either happy or embarrassed, probably both.
“I want to take pictures.”
Jasmine wanted to capture the sweet moment.
She snapped the floral display, the ring on her finger, and a photo of her and Josh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the photo session, she locked fingers with Josh and walked up to her parents.
“Mom, Dad, I’m engaged. You can finally marry me away.”
The people burst out in laughter.
Mrs. Sox said to Josh with a smile, “Thank you, Josh. Thank you.”
Jasmine remarked, “Mom, you’re talking as if nobody wants me… Josh is not taking a charity case.”
“Your blind dates didn’t go well. Your aunt and I had been fretting over your marriage because nobody wanted you.
Well, at least Josh wants you now. You should be nicer to him.”
Mrs. Sox pretended to nag her daughter.
Josh curled his lips and said, “Mom, I want to thank Jasmine for marrying me. Otherwise, I would be single for life.”
Following the proposal’s success, Josh was now calling Mrs. Sox “Mom”.
Mrs. Sox was more than pleased.
They knew what a good man Josh was. They witnessed Josh’s care for Jasmine. Now that Josh had finally popped
the question, Mrs. Sox could not stop grinning from ear to ear. Her daughter had found her happily ever after.
