Chapter 1798 Joyce’s Unrequited Love (Part Two) (1/2)

”Mom! Geez!” Justin cried. Daisy caught him in a particularly naked moment. Justin quickly grabbed the bath towel he had just dumped on the bed and wrapped it around his waist again to cover up his sensitive parts.

”So what? I'm your mom. I've seen you naked hundreds of times,” Daisy responded calmly, her face passive. Her thoughts were anything but. 'What a coincidence! I never expected him to be just out of the shower the minute I walked in. He was wearing briefs though, so why the over-the-top embarrassment?'

”Could you please, please knock first next time? You're just like dad.” 'Every frigging time, ' Justin complained inwardly, rolling his eyes. He had already moved to the upstairs bedroom to stop her from just barging in, but it didn't seem to be effective.

”Never,” Daisy bluntly refused.

Justin gracefully walked in front of the mirror. ”Well, you're up late. Why hasn't dad come and picked you up?” Justin said with a sidelong glance at his mother as he just started drying his hair

”You know as well as I do how drunk he is. You saw him at the party downing shot after shot. How about you and I have a little talk?” Daisy offered. If Edward hadn't been drunk. she wouldn't have gotten this rare chance to talk with her son right now.

”Okay, what's up? Wait, just to be clear, not a word about getting married,” Justin said abruptly while styling his hair in front of the mirror.

”It's not about getting married. It's about Joyce,” Daisy replied. She then studied his face for the slightest reaction. She got nothing.

”Joyce? What about her? Does she have a boyfriend now?” Justin wondered out loud. He hadn't noticed anything particularly different about her at the party just awhile ago.

”No. I just wanted to ask... what do you think about her?” The moment the words left her mouth, Daisy winced and started to regret why she was the one having this talk with her son. She should have left it to Edward, who was a smooth talker and had thick skin. He was perfect for this, he wouldn't even break a swear.

”She's great. Elegant and beautiful,” Justin answered almost automatically.

”So do you like her?” Could she be wrong? Was there a chance that Justin was into Joyce too?
