Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1301

The Russell residence was mostly composed of ancient-style courtyard buildings, one nested within another, with a vast expanse of land that seemed endless.

Under the moonlight, the bright yellow tiles shone with exceptional brilliance.

Josie was carried into the main house's room, which was crowded with people. Dexter carefully placed her on the bed. “She's allergic to alcohol and had quite a bit. Take a look at her.”

The doctor who had been waiting by immediately bent down to diagnose her. Red rashes had appeared on her arms, and she couldn't resist the urge to scratch them.

Dexter held her down.

“It's a mild alcohol allergy, nothing serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for her to take.”

“Why isn't she awake then?” Dexter's brow furrowed tightly.

The doctor was momentarily stunned, finding it hard to imagine that this was the main figure of the Russell family. He smiled. “Worry often clouds judgement. She's merely drunk. Some hangover remedy should do the trick.”

Only then did Dexter's tightly furrowed brow relax.

When Moses returned with Grape, Dexter was standing in the small kitchen, cooking a pot of soup.

After listening to the report, Dexter didn't turn around. “Understood. You can rest now.”

The hangover remedy and soup was delivered to Josie's room. She was asleep, with Grape lying beside her, clutching her hand pitifully.

She looked tired from staying up too late.

Dexter reached out. “Come.”

Grape obediently lay on his shoulder and whispered, “Will Mommy still be here when I wake up tomorrow?”

“Of course, now go to sleep.”

Under the moonlight, the man's figure lost its harshness, becoming gentle and lively. He cradled her in the corridor for some time, soothing her with sweet words. Once she fell asleep, he carefully carried her into the room and tenderly tucked her into bed.

When he returned, Josie had already sobered up quite a bit. She was half-leaning on the bed, gazing blankly at the moonlight outside.

“Why aren't you eating after waking up?”
