Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 939
“Josh!”
After Mrs. Bucham called her son, she saw that he was pulling a young girl to hurry inside to shy away from her.
Mrs. Bucham could not help but scurry forward. She caught up with them shortly and stopped in front of Josh.
“Josh, you brat. Didn’t you hear me calling you?”
Mrs. Bucham gave him the piece of her mind first. When she turned her gaze to Jasmine, she wore a smile and said to Jasmine,
“Young lady, don’t be intimidated. I had to tell Josh off. How dare he turn a deaf ear to his mother’s words and run away when his
mother was calling him!”
“Mom.”
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that he would bump into his mother here.
Mrs. Bucham checked Jasmine out from head to toe and saw her holding a bouquet of flowers. Even though Josh had let go of
Jasmine’s hand, Mrs. Bucham clearly saw her son holding Jasmine’s hand just now.
Giving flowers and holding hands were daily acts of a couple.
When did that brat get into a relationship? He did not even let his family know.
After Jasmine was sure that the beautiful middle–aged woman was Josh’s mother, she openly addressed the woman “Mrs.
Bucham“.
Mrs. Bucham acknowledged Jasmine’s greeting with a grin. After that, she shoved into the space between the pair to stand
beside Jasmine. She affably pulled Jasmine’s hand which was not holding the bouquet. “Young lady, what’s your name? Are you
Josh’s girlfriend?”
Unexpectedly, Jasmine was already meeting his parents.
If she claimed that she was not Josh’s girlfriend, Mrs. Bucham probably would not believe it.
She shot a look at Josh before introducing herself. “Mrs. Bucham, my name is Jasmine Sox. I’m a female friend of Josh.”

“A female friend is known as a girlfriend. That means you’re Josh’s girlfriend. Jasmine Sox sounds familiar to me. Have we met
before?”
Mrs. Bucham cordially pulled Jasmine and walked together.
Jasmine answered honestly, “I’ve never seen you before. You’ve heard of my name probably because of the spread of my
embarrassing experience. Several months ago, I attended Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party with my aunt, Mrs. Lowe. I drank a lot
that night, and I lay on the floor sleeping. That embarrassing incident has probably spread all over in your circle.”
Mrs. Bucham burst into laughter before she said, “It was you, huh? No wonder your name sounds familiar. You’re Mrs. Lowe’s
niece. Mrs. Lowe always brings you along to attend social gatherings. I believe we’ve met in some gatherings, but we just didn’t
speak or greet each other.”
The Bucham women had always kept a low profile. Even if they made an appearance in social gatherings, they would hardly
socialize with others. All they did was have a quick talk with the organizers of the gatherings. They would then sit down in a
corner and take their leave after meals.
Even so, this did not mean that they were unclear about the happenings in the upper class.
As Jasmine said, the incident of her lying on the floor had spread all over high society.
“When did you get into a relationship with Josh? He didn’t mention anything about it when he got home. Apparently, it’s been a
long while since he last returned home.”
Mrs. Bucham wondered for how long her son was planning to hide it from her if she had not bumped into him and Jasmine here.
He did not even let his family know about the girl he was interested in.
Josh walked with them and explained, “Mom, Jasmine has just told you that she’s my female friend. If I’d told you about it, you
would bring a bunch of people over. What if Jasmine got a fright and refused to meet me anymore?”
Mrs. Bucham understood that her son had not won Jasmine’s heart, but that was fine. Since her son was interested in Jasmine,
Jasmine would be within his grasp.
Mrs. Bucham said with a smirk, “Don’t listen to Josh’s exaggeration. We’re very easygoing and won’t make things difficult for
youngsters. Jasmine, come and drop by my house with Josh whenever you’re free.”
