Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 50

The more Josie talked about it, the angrier she became. Even after gulping the glass of water down, it didn’t appease her.

When the maid heard that, she shook her head. “Mrs. Russell, Mr. Russell cares about you immensely. Perhaps his choice of words wasn’t appropriate, but…” She was unsure what words to use, so she cut to the chase. “When he’s not working, he always sleeps early. But tonight, he hasn’t rested at all. He asked me a few times whether or not you were back. I can tell that he’s worried about you.”

Josie froze after hearing that. She recalled his solemn tone when he called her just now and how he reacted. Well, it’s definitely weird.

“He… waited for me the entire night?”

The maid nodded. “Yeah. Julia also saw that. Mr. Russell was worried about you, so… what you said just now was quite harsh.”

He’s worried about me, but why?

“No matter what, he… shouldn’t have said that…”

“That’s because he loves you too much.”

Goosebumps immediately appeared on her arms after hearing that. That’s not the case at all. How is it possible that he loves me?

She shook her head to clear her mind.

“Of course not. He’s just worried that I might create trouble for him. I know he wants to maximize my value here.”

With that, she felt much better. That’s right. He’s a capitalist. He loves me too much? Gah! That’s wishful thinking!

“Mrs. Russell–”

“Alright, is there any food in the kitchen? I’m starving.”

The following day, Josie caught herself thinking about the maid’s words the night before and wondered if she had overreacted.
