Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1246

“It could be set aside.”

At this point in the conversation, Josie was left speechless. Even for her, Wavery, with its friends and colleagues, not to mention the familiar sense of belonging, was indeed a better place.

Yet, she was unwilling to admit it.

Dexter didn't wait for her response. Hearing her slightly hurried breath on the other end, he said, “All reasons lead back to you being here.”

He also knew that Wavery was the perfect place for her, which was why he returned.

Holding her phone, her palm began to sweat. Josie gave a soft scoff, and without thinking, she said, “You're too opinionated.”

After Dexter heard that, he let it pass, asking, “Don't you have anything you want to say to me?”

As they chatted, it occurred to Josie that she had to inform him about the situation in Wavery. She briefly described the Olsen family's attitude toward her and the prejudices she faced within their social circle. “As for the police, it seems they plan to keep the matter about Arnold under wraps. You should be aware of this, so I won't elaborate further.”

Dexter paused thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, “Has Laura returned?”

“Yes. A few hours ago. The itinerary should have been synchronized with yours.”

He seemed lost in thought, not speaking for a moment. Josie asked, “When can I see Grape?”

“Anytime. Does Mark know about the child's existence?”

Josie paused, her tone somewhat icy. “Shouldn't I be the one asking you? You took it upon yourself to reveal my itinerary. I thought you had already revealed it.”

She wasn't naive. She naturally understood that Dexter was involved in this series of plans.

He didn't deny it. “I'm sorry. I had no other choice at the time.”

He was indeed very intelligent. If it hadn't been for Mark's intervention, there was a high chance that he would have died. Therefore, Josie couldn't bring herself to hate him.

Josie opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to explain. But as she thought about it, something seemed off. Two years had passed, and her understanding of Laura was no longer what it used to be. Earlier in the car, she seemed a bit off, too.
