Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1162

Upon seeing that Josie was unharmed, Laura felt relieved. As she was about to leave, Josie suddenly called out to her, “Wait.”

“What is it?”

Josie narrowed her eyes, and to her surprise, she saw a striking red mark on the fair nape of Laura's neck, which was now turning into a bruise. She touched it lightly and asked, “What is this? Did Zach hit you again?”

Almost reflexively, Laura covered her neck and said, “No. I accidentally bumped into something.”

Josie raised an eyebrow. “It's not easy to bump into something here, right?” She was still worried. “Don't be afraid. Tell me, who hit you?”

Laura was clearly flustered. She held Josie's hand. “No, really, I just bumped into something.”

Josie locked eyes with her, attempting to discern something amiss, yet all she found in her gaze was tranquility and composure.

She withdrew her hand. “If there's anything, you must tell me.”

Laura smiled in relief. “Being a mother is not easy, huh? When will I get to meet the child? I should present the child with a gift.”

Josie curved her lips. “When there's a chance.”

What she didn't see was that the moment Laura turned around, her smile completely faded. Her expression became slightly contorted as she pressed her hand against the back of her neck, where the pain was intense.

Only after seeing Laura leave did Josie take out her phone. To her surprise, she saw a message from Mallory that read: Rachel!

In the underground parking lot, as Laura was getting into the car, a voice rang out. “You've been gone for so long. How is she doing?”

Laura's back stiffened for a moment. The next second, she forcefully threw her bag at the woman in the back seat. “You fool, you're utterly brainless! How could you beat someone up in broad daylight? Do you think she's dead or what?”

Rachel got hit on her forehead and grimaced in pain. She yelled back just as loudly, “Are you out of your mind? Why are you venting your anger on me? I told you I didn't think that much. How was I to know Dexter was there?”

Laura couldn't be bothered to talk to her. She simply pressed down on the accelerator and drove off.
