Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1177

After a moment of contemplation, Paul said, “Actually, whether one has parents or not isn't important. What's truly important is whether there is love.”

Some parents gave birth to children, only to let them suffer in this world.

Josie's smile was somewhat strained. She didn't know why, but even though she hadn't seen how Dexter had spoken those words to Xanthe, she could imagine his feelings at that time.

Paul held her hand, rambling on and on with his words. Finally, unable to hold on any longer, he fell asleep.

Josie tucked him in, then she opened the drawer. The medicine Arnold had given her was now down to just three pills.

She closed her eyes, clutching the transparent bag tightly, and returned it to its original place.

The study's light was still on, showing no signs of being turned off.

By now, Josie's legs had regained enough strength to climb up and down the stairs, albeit slowly. As a result, her footsteps were quite soft. She approached the study, the door was ajar. As soon as she stepped in, she heard the sound of a telephone ringing from within.

“Mr. Russell, my company is on the verge of defaulting on its loan. We need funds to keep the projects running. Bank of Wavery is pressuring us relentlessly. If things continue this way, I might just jump off a building. You can't just stand by and watch me perish!”

Dexter sat in the shadows, a glass of whiskey by his side, its potent aroma wafting through the air.

He heard a sound and looked toward her.

Josie pursed her lips, signaling him to first deal with the matter at hand.

Dexter was still looking at her as he said into the phone, “I'll talk to Zachariah.”

A sigh of relief was immediately heard over the phone. “Thank you, Mr. Russell. Once the company overcomes this crisis, I will work tirelessly to repay you!”

Dexter hung up and gently tossed his phone onto the table.
