Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1175

His footsteps also came to an abrupt halt.

“What's wrong?”

“Have you forgotten the reason Xanthe did this was because of you?” The resentment in Josie's eyes did not diminish. “She's gone. You're next.”

Arnold was somewhat serious earlier, but then he smiled faintly right then. “I'll be waiting for your revenge.”

Josie glared at him, taking the lead to leave by the elevator. Once outside, she hailed a taxi.

Throughout the journey, she strived to calm her emotions.

Didn't he say he had official business to attend to? Why would he come to a hotel? Is it because of what he said?

“I want to lessen your hatred toward me.”

Josie's mind was in a whirl, so much so that she didn't even realize when she had reached her destination. The driver called out to her, “Miss, we've arrived.”

She turned her head. It was dusk at that moment. The flowers in the courtyard were all in bloom, bathed in the sunset's glow, exuding an endless warmth.

Meanwhile, Dexter had already returned home. He sat off to the side, watching with a hint of a smile as Grape played on the ground.

It was impossible to tell that not long ago, he had endured the pain of a falling out with his mother.

Does he feel pain? Josie suddenly found herself somewhat confused.

The driver called out again, and only then did Josie hand over the money and get out of the car.

“Look who's back! It's Mommy!” Laura's voice was gentle.

Grape threw herself into Josie's arms. “Mommy, you're finally back. I missed you so much.”

Josie smiled. “Who tied the braid on your head?”

“It was Aunt Laura.” She pointed at Laura.

Laura sat next to Dexter. “According to seniority, calling me this way should be correct.”

Josie gave a smile. “It's very beautiful.”

“Mommy, I like Aunt Laura. She's very beautiful.”

Laura felt a bit embarrassed, as it was her first time encountering such a child who was so fixated on appearances.

“More beautiful than me?”
