Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1056

Josie's gaze halted, and she couldn't take another step forward.

The familiar scent of sandalwood filled the air. She wondered why it felt so familiar.

It was Dexter. It was really him.

Tears welled up in Josie's eyes involuntarily. She had imagined their reunion hundreds, even thousands of times.

But who would have thought it would turn out like this...

"Josie, you've finally arrived..." a slightly hoarse voice echoed.

Even though he had his back to her, he seemed certain that she was the one who had arrived.

Josie's hands silently clenched together at her sides. She struggled to control her emotions and simply asked, "Where is Grape? Where have you taken her?"

Dexter turned around, their eyes meeting. Even though they were only a few dozen meters apart, it felt as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

Two years had passed...

Some things seemed to have changed, while others remained the same.

"Grape... Who?" Dexter found his voice again, staring at her in bewilderment as he asked straightforwardly.

Although he had guessed the answer, he still longed for confirmation from her.

"Grape is my daughter. She has nothing to do with you," Josie denied directly.

Lying was unbearable, but she remained steadfast in her resolve.

Little did she know, her words struck him like a silent thunderbolt, causing a sharp pain in the left side of Dexter's chest.

"Is that true?" Dexter's voice choked up a bit as he asked, his gaze seeming distant.

His memory took him back to two hours ago...

"Mr. Russell, aren't you going over?" Larry noticed Dexter staring blankly at Grape not far away and couldn't help but remind him.

Dexter was slightly taken aback.

He could feel the erratic rhythm of his own heartbeat, a mix of apprehension and anticipation. "Do you think she..." He paused. Could she really be... our daughter?
