Chapter 62

Daisy gave her a look of interrogation, “Who were you on the phone with, acting all cloak and dagger?”

“Just a friend.” Jocelyn plopped back down and shoveled the last of her rice into her mouth.

“Are you still in touch with that Harrison guy?”

Jocelyn nearly choked on her rice. She took a sip of soup to recover, and spun a yarn in her head, “He’s come back home and probably hit it off with someone already. Mom, stop hounding him.”

Quinta shot Jocelyn a look, and Jocelyn exchanged a glance with her and looked down, staying mum.

“Auntie, Jocelyn’s a catch. She could bring home any guy just to fill the bill. But she’s not one to settle for just anyone, right? No worry, she’ll definitely bring home a Mr. Perfect to meet you,” Quinta tried to put in a good word for Jocelyn.

Jocelyn stepped out to the balcony and sure enough, spotted his flashy Porsche.

It shocked her that he should have the nerve to park his show-off ride right outside. After lunch, how were they supposed to get in

his car without making a scene?

Can you wait at the corner instead?”

“Why?”

“It’s too conspicuous Mom’s bound to walk us out, and if she sees us getting into your car, she’ll get suspicious,” Jocelyn was genuinely looking out for him.
