Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1362

She's subconsciously evading my question. That means Morgan must've indeed said other things. Dexter leaned in leisurely, gazing at her intently.

This intimate gesture left Josie somewhat at a loss. She put up a hand to hold him back, asking, “What are you doing?”

The next second, Dexter suddenly uttered, “There's a lead on Arnold's whereabouts.”

Josie tensed up in an instant. “Where is he?”

“Rivodia had apprehended a key figure, and the powerful support behind him was eradicated in the process. Josephine was still in his hands, and it took the leader a great deal of effort to safeguard the Yowell family.”

Dexter spoke with such casual indifference, yet Josie, who was listening to him, was anxious. “The Yowell family didn't meet their downfall even after such a major incident. The leader has thrown caution to the wind.”

Dexter gave a light hum, his intention unclear to Josie.

He leaned back to his original position and said, “We're almost at Wavery.”

Josie didn't understand and persisted with her inquiry. “Where is Arnold now?”

Dexter gestured for her to pass him the lighter that was by her side. “He's abroad.”

He lit another cigarette before asking, “Don't you find it strange?”

The faint scent of tobacco lingered on the tip of Josie's nose. She leaned back, her gaze fixated on the fragments at her feet. “Speak your mind.”

The sheets of paper had been roughly torn, left in unrecognizable shreds.

“The moment news about Arnold arrived, Morgan showed up in Wavery. He's clearly here for you.”

Upon hearing that, Josie immediately sat upright. “You suspect them? That's impossible. I know Morgan. He's always been like that, unchanged. If he had any connection with Arnold, it would've been impossible for there to be no clues or traces at all. Moreover, there's no way for them to contact one another...” No matter how you think about this, there's no way for them to be related.

Dexter stared at her.
