Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 255

In the cozy living room, Grandma Emily was nestled on the couch, casually flipping through a stack of photos. She muttered to herself, "The Smith girl has such an elegant vibe, and the Johnson family's second daughter is quite the looker. And the Walsh girl, just graduated with a master's from Harvard, she's got that scholarly charm. I really like her."

She glanced up, flashing a warm smile at Joshua. "Joshua, why don't you take a look at these photos? Anyone catch your eye?"

Joshua's gaze was distant, his thoughts clearly elsewhere. Just a moment ago in the garden, he'd caught a glimpse of Allie. She looked so pale, her lips almost white. Was she sick?

"Joshua," Grandma Emily called out, her voice a notch louder, the smile slipping from her face. "I'm talking to you. What's on your mind?"

Joshua snapped back to the present, looking up. "What?"

Grandma Emily put the photos aside, a hint of annoyance in her expression. She adjusted her silk shawl, speaking in a measured tone, "Faith from the Walsh family just wrapped up her master's. I met her the other day; she's gentle and quite lovely. You and your mom should drop by the Walshes the day after tomorrow. Spend some time with Faith."
