Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1020

"Jo." Dexter's veins bulged as he held her hand, refusing to let go. He then spoke calmly and decisively, "Josie—"

Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared from behind, accompanied by a familiar voice. "What are you doing?"

Josie looked up in astonishment, only to find, to her surprise, that Morgan had appeared. He clenched his fist and swung it directly. Dexter happened to turn his head at that moment, receiving the punch squarely.

A muffled sound echoed.

Dexter subtly turned his face away, a hint of disbelief in his eyes. Immediately after, Morgan grabbed his collar. "You dare to show up. Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Those words were blunt, and the actions were equally so, clearly displaying an irritation that had been building up for quite some time.

Dexter gripped his wrist tightly, skillfully pushing him away. "What's gotten into you?"

Dexter didn't retaliate, not wanting to resort to violence in front of Josie.

Morgan was about to step forward, but Josie sensed something was off. She immediately positioned herself between the two, exclaiming, "Enough!"

She certainly didn't want to embarrass herself in public, and her patience was nearly exhausted. She turned around and asked Morgan, "Why are you here?"

"I went to your house to look for you, but I didn't expect to run into you on the road," Morgan said, his voice slightly slurred. He pulled Josie behind him. "Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, he won't be able to bother you."

Dexter approached, carrying with him the scent of blood. With a wicked smile playing on his lips, he said, "The one she should be afraid of is you."

Morgan couldn't tolerate such provocation and was about to step forward again, but Josie firmly held his arm. She was clearly annoyed as she said, "Is there an end to this?"

Upon noticing Dexter's gaze falling on their touching posture, Morgan also became aware of it and simply complied. "Mr. Russell, it seems that the crisis at Russell Group isn't keeping you busy enough. If you need more work, I'd be happy to oblige."

Dexter ignored him and fixed his gaze on Josie. "Stay in Wavery."
