Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1047

Outside, Michael located Helena at the designated location she had sent him, and the two came face to face once again.

"Where is the child?" he asked, panting heavily. "Why didn't you inform us before taking the child away?"

Helena was also extremely anxious, but upon hearing this accusation, she immediately became upset. "What are you saying? I should be the one asking how you couldn't even keep an eye on a child," she retorted.

Michael's fury caused his temples to throb. His teammate restrained him. "Enough arguing. Where is Grape?"

Only then, somewhat reluctantly, did Helena lead them to the courtyard house.

The dim light gradually faded, taking away the last bit of sunlight from the room. Dexter sat in a corner, engrossed in a book, absentmindedly flipping through the pages.

The little girl, just over a year old, lay quietly on the nearby table, staring blankly at the carp in the fish tank.

The companionship between the two was a rare combination of tranquility and harmony.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. It was Larry, and he hurried in. "Mr. Russell, I will take the child away immediately."

Grape pouted and looked up. "Has Mommy come to find me?"

Larry smiled and replied, "Yes." He then lifted her up. "We should go."

Turning around, Grape bid farewell to the gloomy man in a formal manner. "Goodbye, Mister."

Dexter gave a slight lift of his eyelids, acknowledging the situation.

Grape stumbled a few steps forward, then seemed to remember something. She pulled her hand free from Larry and returned to Dexter's side. "Mister, Mommy says eating candy makes you happy. You should be happy. You look unpleasant when you're frowning."

With that, she slipped a piece of candy into Dexter's large hand.

Dexter furrowed his brows, scrutinizing her in an unexpected manner.

She had already left with a spring in her step, leaving behind a cheerful silhouette.

Larry quickly followed suit.
