Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1227

What remained unchanged over the years was Claudia's refreshing and gentle aesthetic sense.

Although the house had been refurbished, one could still sense the spirit within. It wasn't just about opulence. What mattered more was the familiarity it held.

“Something unfortunate happened in the past, so we had to start over. All the arrangements here are your mother's... Claudia reviewed all your design works and personally redesigned them. Take a look. Don't they look familiar?” said Mark.

Upon hearing that, Josie understood. No wonder it feels familiar. It turned out that most of the place is related to my own design.

She surveyed the surroundings, refraining from passing any judgment.

Mark followed closely behind Josie, eagerly anticipating her response.

After a while, Josie smiled, turning her gaze toward the gentle and serene Claudia. “Stealing my ideas could land you in court.”

Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat. She really doesn't mince her words.

Those sentiments of maternal longing failed to move Josie. On the contrary, she remained utterly indifferent and cool.

Claudia calmly expressed, “Indeed, I didn't consider things thoroughly enough. If you're upset, I'll assemble a new team to rectify this.”

It seemed as though she was overbearing.

Josie pressed her lips together. “Just kidding.”

Mark and Claudia exchanged glances, unsure whether they should laugh at the joke or not.

“I'm tired. Could you please tell me where my room is?” asked Josie.

Regaining his composure, Mark quickly said, “Everything has been prepared for you. Cross the hall, and you'll find a standalone building in the backyard. It's all yours.”

That was the best spot. It had remained vacant for the past two years.

“Emily, quickly escort her to there,” ordered Mark.

Immediately, a young housekeeper stepped forward, guiding Josie onward.

Mark gently wrapped his arms around Claudia's shoulders, giving her a comforting pat. “She'll recover.” I wonder, will her heart recover as well?
