Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1147

Suddenly, Josie crouched down. She squatted in the corner, crying uncontrollably. “If anything happens to Mr. Zimmerman, I won't let you off the hook!”

Arnold's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected her to make such a move. He nudged her with his leg and urged, “Get up. There are many people here.”

People came and went, all finding it amusing as they fixed their gaze on her.

Josie continued to cry. “I'll only stop if you promise me you won't let anything happen to him!”

Arnold found it impossible to agree. “I'm not the king of the world. How could I possibly know what will be uncovered?”

“I hate you!”

She sobbed uncontrollably, not at all resembling a woman who had given birth. Instead, she seemed more like a little girl.

Hearing her sobbing, Arnold did indeed soften a bit, but he still nudged her. “Get up!”

Josie cried even harder. “Charles was a connection left to me by Old Mr. Russell. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have used him. He trusted me so much, yet I betrayed him. What kind of person does that make me? You've really caused a lot of harm!”

It sounded as though it was truly unfair.

Arnold was both amused and exasperated. He squatted down beside her. “Is the network of connections Old Mr. Russell left you really that important?”

“Of course!”

“Dexter is the important one, no?”

Josie let out a choked gasp. “You're spouting nonsense!”

Tears streamed down her face, a sight Arnold couldn't bear to witness. He took her by the hand and led her away, distancing them from the crowded place.

Josie followed closely, making faces behind his back. Yet, the moment he turned around, she transformed into a pitiful little girl.

“Why didn't you go to Dexter for a solution? Why come to me?” he asked.
