Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1325

“You... I... Did you bring me back?” she asked.

“Yeah, I didn't expect you to get drunk when the Jägermeister's alcohol content is low.”

Josie clicked her tongue. That Jägermeister has aged. It would be more surprising if I didn't get drunk.

She finished the hangover remedy and finally noticed she was in her pajamas. Gasping, she asked, “Who bathed me?”

“I did.”

His candid admission left Josie at a loss for how to react.

She almost laughed in exasperation.

The floor-to-ceiling windows slid open automatically, bathing the room in sunlight. Josie sat on the large bed, her hair tousled, looking at the man in annoyance. Despite so, the scene appeared harmonious.

Dexter couldn't help but chuckle, his lingering drowsiness completely dissipating. He moved to stand behind her, combing her hair naturally. “Are you going back to the Olsen Residence today?”

Cradling her hand in her palm, Josie grew irritated at the mere thought of that, responding with a disgruntled hum.

Regardless, Claudia had already issued an ultimatum, and she didn't want to cause a scene or make things more awkward than it already was.

“What are you going to say when you go back?”

Josie stated firmly, “There's not much to say. Grape must carry my surname. Worse comes to worst, I'll bring Pop with me.”

Dexter did not express his opinion on her decision.

Sensing Dexter's silence, Josie deflated. She knew her decision wasn't exactly practical. Paul's current medication and health condition were entirely under the Olsens' control. She wasn't even sure she could provide better care for him if she insisted on taking him with her.

She chuckled drily. “It feels horrible to be at someone's mercy. I lack the power to fight back against them, but I don't want to compromise either.”

Josie boasted fine-quality hair, lustrous black and perfectly straight, complemented by her fair complexion. Dexter had just finished combing her hair, and as he did, he couldn't help but comment, “Looks like you didn't include me in your plans.”
