Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1039

Josie shook her head helplessly. "Wasn't the plane delayed? Why did you still come?"

"What are you talking about?" Lachlan walked straight into the mansion, speaking as he did so. "I missed Grape. Can't I come and see her? And as for you, you're being absolutely ridiculous. How could you take a child to such a place?"

"What should I do then, leave her at home? Wouldn't that be a disservice to your efforts in setting the venue of the final in Sumanthova?" Josie half-jokingly said, trailing behind him.

Lachlan casually took the bag from her. "What nasty things have those little rascals been saying again?"

Josie didn't tease him further. Instead, she pushed open the door to be greeted by Grape's toys everywhere, among which the multiplication table hanging on the wall was particularly noticeable.

"Whose backpack is this?"

"Do you really think it's mine?" Josie asked with a mix of helplessness and pride in her tone.

Grape proudly proclaimed, "It's mine, Mr. Lachlan!"

"Can you not get carried away? She's barely over a year old and hasn't even been weaned off formula yet, and here you are, wanting her to recite multiplication tables?" Lachlan was incredulous, gently pinching Grape's cheek.

Leaning against the edge of the table, Josie poured a glass of water to soothe her parched throat. "She's interested in it, so I let her carry it around and play."

In truth, she was also quite surprised by Grape's natural talent in mathematics. Grape's affinity for numbers always reminded her of someone.

Lachlan hadn't visited for three months, and Grape was particularly attached to him. They played together for an hour, but in the end, she was still a child and couldn't resist the urge to sleep.

After tucking Grape in, Lachlan looked up to find Josie also dozing off on the couch. He picked up a blanket and carefully walked over. Just as he was about to cover her with it, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Josie's sleep had always been light. She sat up. "I'm sorry. I was a bit tired."

Lachlan casually sat down, letting out a snort. "I thought after working together for over two years, you wouldn't be so distant."

Only after a while did Josie realize it. "Has it been two years already?"
