Nevertheless, Josh was a brilliant man.
Mrs. Sox would sigh to herself every time Josh invited her son out for dinner. She would leap with delight if Josh asked her daughter out instead. In fact, Mrs. Sox would be laughing in her sleep.
Josh earnestly replied, “Mrs. Sox, I’m not pretending to be Jasmine’s date. To put it accurately, I’m pursuing Jasmine. She hasn’t agreed to be my girlfriend.”
Mrs. Sox put the phone away from her ear, making sure she had called the right number. She picked her ear before placing the phone back against it. She asked, “Are you really Mr. Bucham?”
“It’s me, Mrs. Sox.”
“Did you say you’re wooing Jasmine and not Drake?”
Josh replied, “Mrs. Sox… I’m a straight guy. I only like women.”
He moaned in his mind, ‘My future mother-in-law and Jasmine are the same to suspect I have a thing for Drake.’
Amusingly, Mrs. Sox did not stop him from asking Drake out despite her suspicions.
The old lady was quite open-minded.
“But you’re so nice to Drake, so much so I thought you fell in love with my boy. I often asked his father about what we should do if our son has a husband and whether he could accept it. Man, you should see the look on his face.”
Josh was at a loss for words.
“Mrs. Sox.”
Holding a palm up against his face, Josh explained, “I like your daughter, Jasmine. I was only nice to Drake because he is Jasmine’s brother. I was trying to impress my future brother-in-law and get in his good graces.
