The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 48

If it hadn’t been for her mom’s friends calling her up, egging her on to fill the missing fourth spot for a game, Jocelyn would’ve totally lost it.

“Man, I’m so sorry, my mom is just…” Jocelyn didn’t even know how to explain it.

Harrison chuckled shaking his head, “I get it. Honestly, it’s pretty much the same drill when I head home.”

“You get the marriage nudge too?”

Jocelyn let out a soft sigh, “Same world, same kind of moms

Jocelyn pursed her lips, then cracked a smile, “Nope, he wasn’t.”

Harrison chuckled, “Why’s that?”
