A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 149 Not Your Real Sister

No one had anticipated Casper to ask that question.

Fimegan’s l*ps twitched.

“Finny, I couldn’t be happier if you could become my son-in-law!” Jenna chimed in, laughing.

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

Josephine flushed crimson. “Mom, Casper!”

“Josephine, what are you shy about?” Casper chuckled, “When you were kids, Finnegan said he would marry you when you grew up. The two of you even pinky-swore it.”

Finnegan managed a bitter smile. “Casper, that was childhood talk. Let’s not joke about it now.”

Josephine kicked Casper under the table. “Yes, stop talking nonsense.”

Her eyes, however, subtly flitted toward Finnegan.

No one could decipher the thoughts swirling in her mind.

Jenna held Finnegan’s hand. “Finny, we have been neighbors for decades. Your parents also agreed that you and Josephine are perfect for each other. Casper is not joking. You should really consider it.”

Jenna’s tone suddenly took on a serious turn.

Josephine’s face flushed an even deeper shade of red. “Mom!”

Finnegan felt a twitch at the corner of his eyes, struck by the sudden realization that his parents and Jenna had choreographed this evening, an orchestrated scheme to bring up the subject of Josephine.

Even though Quiana had mentioned Josephine before, Finnegan had never taken her mother seriously. After all, he only thought of Josephine as his elder sister.

“Mdm. Dickson-”

Just when Finnegan was about to explain that he had a girlfriend, Josephine interjected, “Finnegan, just ignore my mother. She keeps thinking I’ll end up a spinster.”

“You’re already twenty-five,” Jenna said, shooting a glare at her daughter. “When I was your age, you were already running about.”

“Times have changed, Mom. Who gets married so young these days?”

“I didn’t ask you to get married right now. I just wish you were already in a relationship. You and Finny grew up together. Where else are you going to find someone who knows you this well?”

Josephine’s face turned crimson at her mother’s lecture. She was at a loss for words.
