Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448 Uncle Owen 

The curtains opened, and the boss entered. “Are you done?” he asked. 

“Yes, thank you for helping.” Dexter answered, his voice respectful and deferential. 

Owen waved his hands dismissively. His curiosity was piqued as he asked, “And this is?” 

He was asking about Josie. 

„Josie’s eyes shifted with uncertainty, pondering how to answer this question. 

Should I say I’m his girlfriend? 

She subconsciously stepped back as she felt pressured by the situation. 

Suddenly, Dexter grabbed Josie’s wrist and pulled her to the front. “I’m already married, Uncle Owen. She’s my wife, Dexter said nonchalantly. 

Josie felt a shiver run down her spine. 

Feeling incredulous over his blunt statement, she blinked repeatedly in shock. 

“You’re married? That’s great!” Owen chuckled in delight and patted Josie’s shoulder, then proceeded to say, “Let’s go! I’ll take you guys for some good food.” 

“Ah?” Josie’s eyes bulged from the abrupt invitation. 

Dexter signaled her to follow Owen. 

Josie wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes. She never thought the man who made important decisions with millions of dollars at stake would be sitting by the roadside, savoring food from a food truck. 

He also didn’t look disgusted or unwilling to be there at all. 

Owen ordered a few bottles of beer, clearly excited to see Dexter. “I’ve watched Dex grow up since he was a boy. It’s been so long since then,” he said to Josie. 

The sudden revelation of Dexter’s past caught her off guard. 

Dexter poured some beer for Owen. “I’ve been really busy these few years,” he answered coolly. 

“Do you think I’m a fool? You don’t have to keep your guard up in front of me,” Owen replied. 

Dexter fell silent. 

He was really tall, and he barely fit into the small bench by the food truck. The man’s legs dangled awkwardly off the side of the bench. 

As she munched on the tacos, Josie asked, “What happened? I’m really curious to know 

Owen gave a knowing smile and didn’t say anything. 

“It’s good as long as you’re here to see me,” he answered, swiftly changing the topic. “You’re the first lady I’ve seen around him. How long did you guys date before you got married?” 

“You’ve only seen one because we rarely meet,” Dexter interjected with a hint of mischief. 

As soon as he said that, Owen knocked on his head with his knuckles. “Are you proud that you’ve had so many ex-girlfriends?” 

Josie chuckled loudly at their friendly banter. 

Dexter shot an icy glare at her. 

“What’s your name?” 

Josie Warren.” 

Owen looked closely at her face as he uttered her name. “You look a lot like..” he mumbled. 

“Uncle Owen, she’s not Leanne, Dexter chimed in, his voice calm and composed. “She’s my wife, Josie.” 

Owen froze for a short moment before downing his beer. “Alright! It’s good that you’re no longer stuck in the past. Treat her well, Dex!” 

Dexter frowned, but he had no choice but to comply with his advice. “I understand,” he answered indifferently. 

The sky was a vast canvas painted with a million stars. The crescent moon hung like a teardrop, dangling from the edge of the sky, its silver light glinting off the stars like diamonds.
