Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 31

This was Josie’s second meal with Henry. She was not as nervous as before now that she knew Henry cared about her genuinely.

After dinner, he called both of them to his study.

He was a Buddhist, so he lit an incense that smelled nice.

Josie was still looking around the familiar surroundings. I feel like I’ve been here before.

Dexter grabbed her hand. “What’s wrong?”

“This place looks familiar. Perhaps I’ve seen similar designs in some books. Just ignored me,” she replied uncertainly.

At that moment, Henry took out a vintage box and motioned for Josie to sit.

“Your grandma left this for you. Before she died, she was hoping to see Dexter get married. Unfortunately…”

“Grandpa–”

“There’s a jade bracelet in it. It has been passed down since your great-great-grandmother. It was with Dex’s mother before this, but there were some accidents… Josie, it’s time to pass it to you now.”

He opened the box, revealing a beautiful jade bangle that shone brightly. It was apparent that it cost a lot of money.

It was out of Josie’s expectations to receive such an invaluable gift. She quickly rejected him. “No, no. I can’t take such an important item. Grandpa, just keep it as it is.”

Henry spoke seriously. “Before my wife died, she made me promise to hand this over to Dexter’s future wife. You’re his wife now – you’re entirely entitled to this.”
