Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1123

On their way back to their home halfway up the hill, Moses was suddenly taken by surprise. "Isn't that... Mr. Bastille?"

Dexter and Josie simultaneously looked up, only to see Morgan sitting leisurely in the yard of the mansion across the street, basking in the sun. In front of him, a pot of coffee was brewing, creating a serene atmosphere.

Morgan? Why is he here?

Confronted with the same confusion from Dexter, Josie responded immediately, "It wasn't me. I have no idea."

After they got out of the car, Morgan opened his eyes. "Oh, Mr. Russell, you're out early."

Dexter, on the other hand, showed no signs of surprise. He walked into Morgan's courtyard and said, "Mr. Bastille, I've come to ask for a cup of coffee."

Morgan chuckled. "My coffee is inexpensive. You might not find it to your liking."

He didn't pour Dexter a cup.

Josie followed him inside. She immediately pulled Morgan up and led him further in, asking bluntly, "What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean? I'm from Rivodia. What's the big deal about buying a house in the best neighborhood of Rivodia?"

Obviously, it wasn't a big deal, but how could it be such a coincidence that it happened to be right across the street from Dexter?

With a sense of helplessness, Josie asked, "Didn't you go broke? Where did you get the money?"

"Am I that poor to you? I have more than enough to buy a house." Morgan moved closer to her, his demeanor servile yet respectful. "In fact, even after supporting you and your child for a lifetime, I still have plenty left."

Hearing his remark, Josie couldn't help but turn toward him. "You're crazy, you didn't... move here because of me, did you?"

It was a rather narcissistic thought, but indeed, it was something he was likely capable of doing.

Morgan spoke honestly. "That's right. You and Dexter haven't reconciled, so I still have a chance, don't I?"

Josie let out a sigh. "I even have a child now. If you want to find a partner, you can have anyone, and I believe you've been searching plenty these past two years, so why are you still hung up on me?"

She truly doubted that Morgan had this much sentimental attachment to his first love.
