Chapter 1226

Josh’s statement made Jasmine blush.

The guy just could not wait.

“Alright. We’ll have the engagement party, then the visit to city hall, and finally the wedding.”

Josh respected Jasmine’s wishes and only wanted the best for her. Doing things in the right order would make the Soxes happy.

The engagement party was bound to be a huge event since Josh was a man of position. The attendees were the movers and shakers of Wiltspoon’s higher society.

Josh gave a call to his parents and told them that he proposed to Jasmine. Of course, Jasmine said yes.

He asked his parents if they were free to come over and discuss the wedding details with his future parents–in–law.

Delighted by the news, Mrs. Bucham replied, “I’m busy right now, but nothing comes before my son’s marriage. Alright, I’ll ask your dad and uncle to prepare the gift and head over to your in–laws‘.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

Mrs. Bucham answered with a smile, “Don’t mention it. I’m happy for you. Josh, be nice to Jasmine.

Don’t take advantage of her. I’m not going to take your side just because you’re my son. Jasmine is right when she is right. She is still right even if she’s wrong. A happy wife is the way to a happy life.”

Her son was picky when it came to women. Finally, Josh was willing to end his bachelor life for Jasmine.

Mrs. Bucham had a special place in her heart for Jasmine. Besides, Mrs. Bucham had given Jasmine the family heirloom during their first meeting. She had decided a long time ago that Jasmine would be her daughter–in–law.

“Got it, Mom.”

Josh had his serious face on. Marriage was no fun and games to him. He had thought it through and listened to his own heart.

“Alright. I know my son. I trust you will treat Jasmine well. I should end the call here. I need to call the lady of the household and ask her to help pick a gift. We will be there by sundown.”

Josh was the first to get married in his generation.

The senior family members would not take this huge event lightly.

Josh was the nephew of the head of the Bucham household. He was also close to Julian, the heir of the Buchams.

The Bucham family’s elders, heir, and others arrived at the Soxes‘ residence before sunset.

Judging by the arrival of people and vehicles bearing gifts, the neighbors around were under the impression that Josh and Jasmine were getting married that night itself. It was obvious what the Buchams thought about Jasmine.

Now that Josh and Jasmine were a sealed deal, the heir, who was older and single, got a lot of attention from his senior family members that night.

Julian had to look for an excuse and scram after dinner.

Seeing that the elders were concerned about Julian getting married, Jasmine whispered to Josh, asking curiously, “I wonder what type of woman can tie Julian down.”

Julian was not as well–known as businessmen like Zachary and Clive in Wiltspoon, but he was more powerful than these CEOs. He was not one to be messed with.

Josh uttered, “I don’t know. He never told me the type of girl he’s into. The head of the household is liberal–minded and doesn’t really insert himself into our private lives. Even so, he’s been pushing Julian lately to get married since Julian isn’t getting any younger.”

Julian was older than Josh, and Josh was in his early thirties. Julian was closer to his forties than he was to his thirties.

It was natural that the head and lady of the Bucham household were anxious.
