Blind Date Turned Proposal

Claudia and Josie departed Sousturham together.

As they reached a crossroad, a black car awaited them. The driver stepped out, giving Josie an extra glance, and said, “Good morning, Mrs. Hadey,”

Claudia looked at Josie, silently asking if she wanted a ride in her car.

Josie smiled and shook her head. “I have a friend coming to pick me up. See you next time, Auntie.”

Claudia nodded understanding, got into the car with the driver, and soon drove off.

The driver couldn’t help but be curious, “Mrs. Hadey, that woman…”

Claudia’s smile faded, and she pursed her lips as she settled into the car. She exuded an imposing aura and replied, “Just a visitor to the church who happened to be on the way.”

The driver understood and refrained from asking further questions.

Meanwhile, Josie stood in place, contemplating the recent events. Something was intriguing about Claudia’s family-they seemed well-off.
