Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1281

A spoonful of soup was brought to Dexter's lips, but he couldn't dodge it in time, and it promptly spilled onto his shirt.

The atmosphere tensed up for a few seconds, and it wasn't without awkwardness.

A flicker of stiffness crossed Juliette's face, yet she promptly pulled out a tissue to wipe for him. “I'm sorry. My mistake.”

In the midst of their intimate interaction, Dexter pursed his lips and gently grasped her wrist, saying, “Don't worry. I'll go clean up.”

“I'll go with you, Dexter.”

Dexter's voice was deep and stern. “Juliette, I've told you I'll go by myself.”

Juliette pursed her lips, much like a child who had made a mistake.

Dexter glanced at Josie, gave her a nod, then rose from the dining table and headed for the washroom.

Juliette watched the broad and steady figure of the man depart, her face full of remorse and frustration. Her mood was at an all-time low.

With her eyes wide open, Josie watched as Juliette transformed from a self-reliant CEO to a cautious little girl. Her feelings were incredibly mixed. She sighed and comforted Juliette by saying, “It's okay. He doesn't blame you.”

“I understand, but I was too impulsive.” Juliette shook her head. “Actually, it was enough to deliver the herbal tonics. Why should I care whether he ate it or not? I crossed the line.”

“No. Stay here for a moment. I'll go out and buy him a new shirt.”

“Huh?” Josie was taken aback. “He already said it wasn't necessary.”

Juliette stood up. “Even though this person is my friend, he's still a director at Russell Group. Plus, he has mysophobia. Not to mention getting his clothes dirty. He doesn't even let anyone touch his things. If there's an issue in this regard, I'll definitely have to take responsibility.”

It could be considered a different form of meticulousness.

The phone on the table conveniently lit up, displaying a message from Dexter. It read: Come in.
