Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 An Old Photo 

Dexter looked at her for a while and smiled. He did not mind seeing such a scene

Likely due to not having enough sleep last night, Josie slept soundly and woke up to find it was already three in the afternoon. She rubbed her bleary eyes and noticed Dexter was still seated in the same spot and busy with work

How long did I sleep?” 

Dexter raised his wrist to look at the watch. Three hours.” 

Josie scratched her head in embarrassment and thought she had slept too long. Are you done with work? When will we be leaving?” 

Soon.” 

Must he keep replying so curtly? How boring

Josie was bored as she lay in bed. She briefly pondered Kennon Corporation’s cover design on her phone. Then, seeing Dexter was still busy with work, she limped around the room to check it out

She was in a rush last time and did not have a chance to look at the room closely

After a while, Josie found a study next to the bedroom. It was connected directly to the room. There was a wall full of books. The shelves also contained a few interesting things

Dexter, can I go in for a look?Josie leaned against the wall

Dexter did not seem to mind. Go ahead.” 

He grew up in Russell Mansion and still kept many things there

Josie sat on the floor and saw a large box. She opened it and found that it contained toys from childhood

She picked up a slingshot and mumbled, He’s no different from an ordinary kid when he was little. Why is he so different as an adult.” 

Then, she searched deeper into the box and found a colorful girl’s hair tie. She laughed at her find. It was hard to imagine Dexter playing with a girl as a kid

The box also contained a halfused pencil, cards with good wishes, anda photo

The photo was stuck at the bottom of the box and gathered dust. Josie brushed off the dust and found Henry in the photo

Henry looked younger in it. Two children were standing beside him. The boy was goodlooking and smiling happily as he held the girl’s hand

Josie frowned as she looked at it

Why does the girl look like me

I don’t mean how I look now. She resembles me when I was a kid

The resemblance was so uncanny that Josie’s hand trembled

12 

However, she knew that girl could not have been her as she did not know Dexter as a kid and had never 

been here

Could there be such a coincidence

Before Josie could consider further, heavy footsteps sounded outside the study. I’m done. What are you doing?” 

Dexter suddenly fell silent when he discovered Josie sitting on the floor with a photo in her hand
