Chapter 365

Josie’s voice came from Sean’s chest, a low tremor that made his chest feel warm.

He took a shallow breath, then a deep one to compose himself. “So, can I call you Jojo from now on?”

“Yes!” Josie snuggled her face into his embrace, feeling very warm.

Sean felt she was like a docile cat, retracting her sharp claws in front of him, only showing her fluffy back, waiting for him to pet her.

“Only I can call you that?” He pushed his luck.

Josie laughed softly. “Yes, only you can call me that!”

“Jojo!”

“Yes!” Josie hummed in response.

Sean’s heart pounded uncontrollably. He raised his hand, tilted her chin, and asked, “Another kiss?”

“Yes!” She was incredibly obedient, standing on tiptoes of her own accord.

Sean’s eyes deepened. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. “How can you be so cute?”

He lowered his head and kissed her forcefully, unable to control his surging emotions.

But then, a knock on the door interrupted their lingering first kiss.

“Good thing.” Sean leaned his forehead against hers, releasing her. “I almost hurt you!”

Josie’s lips tingled. Her face flushed, and she couldn’t bring herself to look at anyone.

She lowered her eyelids slightly, thinking, ‘Sean is usually so cold and distant. I never expected him to be this passionate when kissing!’

The intensity made her heart pound and burn.

From childhood, she had faced so many cold stares and disdainful looks.

Even a touch of warmth would make her long for more. After experiencing so much, she couldn’t refuse such passion.

“Then, will you hurt me, Sean?” Josie asked in a muffled voice.

Sean rubbed her head. “Why are you acting so silly?”

Josie looked up and asked, “So I can’t act like this?”

She was a little embarrassed.

Sean felt that she was being quite cute.

“Do whatever you want. I am fine with it!” Sean said, leading her to the door.

At the door, he turned back as if remembering something and looked at her. “Josie, I will never hurt you!”

Before Josie could react, Sean reached out and pulled open the room door.

Claire stood smiling at the door.

She said, “The apprenticeship ceremony preparations are complete. My mom sent me over. She said that if you haven’t changed her mind, you can come over!”

Josie quickly shook her head. “No, I haven’t changed my mind. I want to be her disciple and also the successor of the Reedshaw Medicine legacy!”

“Let’s go now and officially begin the ceremony!” Claire reached out and pulled Josie. The two walked ahead.

She leaned in to look at Josie’s lips, lowering her voice and chuckling, “Sean confessed his feelings to you?”

“Yes!” Josie blushed crimson.

Claire chuckled, “You agreed? You didn’t even make him wait a little longer? I thought he wouldn’t confess his feelings to you so soon, at least not until after the apprenticeship ceremony.”

“Why?” Josie asked, perplexed.

Claire blinked. “That way, you wouldn’t be able to refuse him. He’s quite sensitive about his reputation and hates to be embarrassed.”

“No way!” Josie chuckled wryly. She said, “For someone as good as him, I doubt anyone would have the heart to refuse. Regardless of whether I’m the inheritor of Reedshaw Medicine, I wouldn’t refuse him!”

“Oh, you silly girl!” Claire said with an amused expression, feeling that Josie was truly endearingly simple when it came to matters of the heart.

After Josie entered the main hall in the backyard, Claire paused, reaching out to pull Sean, who was following behind.

She said, “Don’t ever bully Josie. Be good to her. If possible, keep certain things from her for the rest of her life!”
