Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 937
Jasmine ordered food delivery for Mrs. Lane and passed the store key to her. She said, “Mrs. Lane, you can close the store and
go home whenever you want after you have dinner. You can keep the key or pass it to your missus.”
“Missus said that she won’t be available for the next few days. So I’ll come over to help out on her behalf. Let me keep the key.”
Mrs. Lane added with a smile, “Ms. Sox and Mr. Bucham, both of you can go ahead and eat together. I can watch the store.”
Mrs. Lane had helped in the store for quite a long period. She could remember the book prices. Even if she was alone, it would
not affect the operation of the store.
Jessica felt at ease when she left with Josh. They headed to Wiltspoon Hotel for dinner.
“How has Zachary been lately?” Jasmine asked concernedly.
While driving, Josh said, “He’s busier than ever. He’s been working around the clock. like Superman. I could hardly keep up with
him. Those working under him have been. grumbling, and many of them expect me to advise him.
“Right now, I can’t do so. Only Serenity has the ability to do that. But it’s been days. since the couple met. Grandma May forbade
Zachary to meet Serenity as she wanted the couple to calm down.
“The couple just got to meet today. I wonder how their talk went. After Zachary returned, he did not pour out his problems to me
but continued to work hard. At noon, he went to the Stones and cheered up a lot after that.
“Even so, he worked very hard. I think he has lost a few pounds.”
Josh tilted his head and took a glimpse of Jasmine. Then, he smiled and said, Jasmine, both of us shouldn’t follow in their
footsteps. We must continue to be lovey- dovey and trust each other. I won’t lie to you, and you mustn’t hide anything from me as
well.”
“Who wants to be lovey–dovey with you? What can I hide from you?”
Josh chuckled. “I think we’re now lovey–dovey. Lovey–dovey isn’t about saying ‘I love you‘ every day. It’s shown through the little
details in life.”

Jasmine said, “All I see is that you try to butter my parents up whenever you’re available. You also treat my brother like your
own.“.
Josh was naturally brilliant and had a glib tongue. Therefore, he was able to coax Jasmine’s family into favoring him.
“Because they’re your family members, who’ll be my family in the future. It’s natural to treat my family well.”
“How shameless of you. I haven’t even promised you anything, yet you’ve treated my family as yours.”
Josh said unabashedly, “One has to be shameless when going after their wives. It was because Zachary cared so much about
his dignity that he ended up in this state now.”
Jasmine did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“You see Zachary’s situation as a cautionary tale, don’t you?”
“I’m just stating facts. If Zachary had listened to my advice, he and Serenity wouldn’t have ended where they are right now.”
Jasmine asked, “Are you very experienced in relationships?”
“No, actually. You’re the first and only girl I truly love.”
Josh did not get tricked by her question.
Even though he used to have a crush on a female classmate, that was in the past. He could not even recall that classmate’s
appearance.
Later, he was too busy to get into a relationship.
He did not meet any girls who could capture his heart too.
At first, he did not show interest in Jasmine either. When Zachary and Serenity got married unexpectedly, he helped Zachary
investigate Serenity’s background. While at it, he figured out Serenity’s best friend, Jasmine’s background.
