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.

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.
