Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1160

“What do you think? Two years ago, he suffered a fatal blow. Now, he's extremely fragile, burdened by both physical and psychological stress. You understand.”

Dexter wore a serious expression, seemingly lost in thought.

“Got an idea?” Calvin sat down and took a sip of the coffee he had brewed. He spat it out as soon as it hit his tongue. “Damn, why is it so bitter?”

Dexter lifted his gaze. “It tastes better after a while. Give it another taste.”

Calvin was half convinced. He took another sip, but it was still unbearably bitter.

He furrowed his brows and said, “Regarding Josie's matter, should we send word from Rivodia back to Wavery? Just say the word, and I'll handle it for you.”

Indeed, having Mark's support at this time was a significant boost. However, Dexter simply rose and walked to the window, his back figure exuding loneliness. “Forget it.”

“Why?”

“Josie doesn't want it.”

That sentence left Calvin frozen in place. The Dexter he knew never cared about what others thought.

Calvin rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat helpless. “She brought you so much trouble. I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.”

“A curse?” Dexter chuckled. “I don't think so.”

The two empty years had made him realize that her presence by his side was indeed his blessing.

Left with no choice, Calvin took a deep breath and walked over to Dexter. “To be honest,” he said, “no matter how much you do, she may not necessarily be yours. Yet, it's you who will have to pay a countless price.”

“Calvin,” Dexter suddenly called out his name.

Calvin raised an eyebrow, uttering a hum of acknowledgment.

“Did you notice Grape when you entered? She's so tiny, yet she's so lively and full of wild ideas. She's half like me and half like her. My heart melts just by looking at her.”

In Dexter's eyes, there was a gentleness that Calvin had never seen before.

“Before I met her, I never thought I could have children,” Dexter added.
