Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1095

Josie observed as Dexter's face visibly darkened, but the gloom quickly dissipated. "Thank you, Grape."

As luck would have it, the phone Josie had set aside happened to ring. It was Lachlan.

Dexter glanced at her.

She furrowed her brows, hesitating for a moment. Ultimately, thinking she had nothing to hide, she answered the phone.

"Lachlan."

"Alice," he said, still accustomed to calling her that, "I just arrived at the hotel to find you, but they said you weren't here. Where did you go?"

"Didn't I already tell you? I have my own plans."

"Mr. Lachlan!" Grape interrupted abruptly.

Josie furrowed her brows, and Dexter immediately bent down to pick up the child in his arms. "Let Mommy take the call first."

When Lachlan heard these words, he was stunned for a moment. Josie shot Dexter a glare, but he seemed oblivious to any wrongdoing. He simply picked up Grape and went off to pick flowers.

"So... you're with him, huh?"

Lachlan, who had left the hotel to meet with Larry about the project, looked up and saw a harmonious scene not far away.

The man didn't naturally exude warmth or approachability. However, when he held the child, there was a distinct sense of harmony.

Josie sat to the side, constantly keeping an eye on the child.

They appeared to be a genuine family.

"Yes. There's a lead on Paul. I have no choice but to rely on him." She paused, feeling that her choice of words was incorrect. "No, it's just a business deal."

Lachlan gripped the steering wheel tightly, wanting to say, "Don't be with Dexter." But as he glanced at the documents urgently needing his signature beside him, he found himself unable to utter a single word.

I have to rely on Dexter's resources as well, so what right do I have to ask Josie not to depend on him?

At least she's honest.
