Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1193

Dexter's attitude had a wealth of warmth inexplicably suffusing Josie.

When the footsteps outside had faded into the distance, Dexter took her hand and led her out of the interlayer. He then swiftly climbed to the top of the ship's cabin before reaching out and pulling Josie up. They stood together at the elevated point, the wind whistling around them, causing their hair to flutter wildly.

They could see Arnold on the deck, his expression dark as he reprimanded his men. “Apart from the bodyguards on warehouse duty, why is there one person short?”

The bodyguards couldn't find Josie. All gathered together at that moment, they exchanged glances and realized that one person was indeed missing from their group.

Someone exclaimed, “It's Joshua! Joshua is missing! I was just on patrol with him. How strange.”

Arnold's face grew increasingly darker. With a swift flick of his hand, the whip he held whizzed menacingly through the air. “Where is he?”

“I'll go and look for him right away!”

“Hold it!” Arnold barked, having realized something. “There's no need to search anymore. Conduct a carpet search. Once you find those two people, kill them immediately.”

His aura was akin to that of the Grim Reaper. At the side, Josephine was terrified. She went weak but tried her best to maintain her composure. Nonetheless, it was clear to her that he held little affection for Josie.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Having received their orders, the bodyguards dispersed in all directions.

Dexter and Josie sat side by side at the topmost point, watching as Arnold approached Josephine. His tone gradually softened as he asked, “Did I frighten you?”

Josephine's lips curved into a smile, and she shook her head.

“The first time I met you, you were just as fierce. How could I possibly be frightened? Did that woman... ruin your plan?”

“She's just a woman who thinks too highly of herself.”

Arnold's lips also curved up, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. He gazed out at the seemingly endless expanse of sea, his expression unreadable.

By then, several boats had already sailed out of the river to the sea.

Therefore, the Russell family is safer.
