Chapter 631
“Is that you, Ms. Sox?” a voice interrupted the trio.
Jasmine and her brother turned their heads toward the source of the voice.
Serenity calmly drank her wine as though she did not see Josh.
“Mr. Bucham?”
Jasmine was surprised to find Josh here.
Josh explained, “I got together with a few buddies to let loose here since it’s the weekend. I wasn’t
expecting to see you here, Ms. Sox.
“Do you mind if I sit here?”
Jasmine replied with a smile, “Well, you already sat down. Are you waiting for your friends?”
She saw that he was alone.
Josh sat down and said hello to Serenity. Serenity merely bobbed her head as an acknowledgment to
his greeting.
“My friends have left.”
Looking at the drawing, Josh asked Jasmine, “Who drew this? Can I have a closer look?”
With Jasmine’s eyes turning to her best friend, Josh got an idea of the artist behind the artwork.
Serenity went on drinking without a word. Taking it as a no, Josh did not pick the drawing up, but he
was still able to get a good look at it.
He could tell that it was a portrait of Zachary.
Josh had to admit that Serenity had a gift for art. She brought Zachary’s portrait to life.
Only thing was, she deliberately drew a heart outside Zachary’s chest, and it was tiny…
Was she saying that Zachary had a tiny heart?
Was that a lake or a river behind Zachary’s portrait? There were wavy lines along the shore. What did
that mean? There was a ball too.
Josh stared at the drawing and then at Serenity. Seeing that Serenity was scarlet on the cheeks and
hazy in the eyes, he knew that she was out of it.
“Ms. Hunt, you must be the artist. This is a masterpiece.”
The meaning behind the artwork should be-
Zachary was a water ball!
Hang on!
Josh took a closer look at the drawing. Was Zachary a lake ball? River ball? Wavy ball?
He stared hard and long at the drawing until it finally hit him.
A slimeball.
Ha!
The missus sure had a way with name-calling. She criticized people through her drawings.
Josh would have taken out his phone to take a picture and show Zachary if Jasmine and her brother
were not around.
He got to give it to the woman who captured Zachary’s heart. She was different, that was for sure.
“Ms. Sox, and this is?”
After appreciating the beauty of Serenity’s artwork, Josh went on to ask about Drake.
“My brother.”
Jasmine answered without sharing her brother’s name with Josh. It appeared she did not want Josh to
interact too much with her brother.
Smiling tenderly, Josh put his hand out to Drake and politely exchanged a handshake. He introduced
himself, “Mr. Sox, I’m Josh Bucham. I went on a blind date with your sister.”
Jasmine turned around, wanting to refute. However, it was a fact that she went on a blind date with
Josh. She could not argue with that.
“Hello, Mr. Bucham. I’m Drake. You had a blind date with my sister?”
Drake turned to his sister, seeking verification through his gaze. Seeing that his sister smiled without a
smile, he knew that it was true.
He leaned forward to whisper in his sister’s ear. “When did you go on a blind date with Mr. Bucham,
Jas? Is he the one Mom said was a great guy? I think Mr. Bucham is nice. He gave me a good first
impression.” Jasmine pinched her brother’s thigh under the table while hissing through clenched teeth.
“We’ll talk at home.”
She then asked Josh with a grin, “Do you come here often, Mr. Bucham?”
“No. This is my first time here. I heard Neon Nights was a great place, so I invited a few buddies over
here. for drinks as it’s been a while since I didn’t have to work over the weekend. I wanted to check out
the scene if it was as good as rumored.”
Jasmine did not buy the story but said nothing more.
Suddenly, Serenity sprawled on the table. The alcohol finally caught up to her, and she was gone.
