Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 596

Chapter 596 It Was Heather 

Dexter opened the video and watched his past mistake play before his eyes. 

He finally understood why Josie had been behaving strangely. He gently tossed the phone aside and faced Josie. “I made a mistake in the United Kingdom, thinking that the woman was you. This video is incomplete. I stopped immediately when I realized she wasn’t you.” 

“I will ask Larry to obtain the security footage.” 

Although Dexter was nervous while explaining, he also seemed honest. 

Josie nodded. That means the thing in the video truly happened.” 

Dexter fell silent. 

“I thought the man who proposed and convinced me to stay would never cheat on me with another woman. When I saw the video, I thought someone had faked it to sow discord between us. So I trusted you and went to Carter Group to investigate the matter.” 

Josie felt on the verge of giving up as she spoke. She was exhausted with everything. 

“Honestly, what can I do even if you cheated on me? I have nothing of worth to keep a man like you. Everyone thinks we are ill-matched.” 

It hurt Dexter to see Josie depreciate herself. He explained helplessly, “I didn’t have intercourse with her. What the video showed was all we did. I pushed her off me after that. 

However, his words sounded unbelievable without proof. 

Yet, Josie nodded. “I believe you.” 

Dexter frowned and did not dare to relax. 

“Who was that woman?” 

Dexter hesitated for a moment before answering, “Heather.” 

Josie suddenly felt the woman’s identity no longer mattered when Dexter hesitated. Her voice trembled. “Did you… not want to tell me?” 

Dexter frowned harder and replied immediately. “I don’t want you to overthink.” 

“How could I overthink if it happened? It’s your behavior that makes me suspicious!” Josie could no longer hold back her emotions. His moment of hesitation destroyed her effort to remain calm. 

“Do you know what I did in the few days I was in the United Kingdom? I had surgery. No, after I returned to Wavery, I pleaded with Mark on behalf of Russell Group. What were you doing then?” 

Tears fell from her eyes. She could not contain them anymore. The thought of him being with that woman while she suffered was like a stab to her heart. 

“Josie, please listen to me.” Dexter embraced her immediately. He tightened his hold such that veins popped up on the back of his hands. He calmed down and continued, “I can explain and find evidence to prove my innocence. I won’t ask you to trust me. All I ask is a chance to clear my name.
