Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838 Visiting The Olsen Family 

“We’re talking about his biological father. We can’t expect too much from him.” Dexter picked up a pair of scissors, cut off the root of the rose, and continued the conversation with a smile. 

With a gentle squint, Mark expressed his disagreement, “When do you plan to let his father out?” 

Even he knew Dexter was in control of such matters. 

The young man cast a glance at Josie, who was sitting in the corner. Then, he placed the rose in the vase, its petals swaying gently. 

“Perhaps when he stops harming others.” Dexter chuckled. “Still, Mr. Olsen, it’s in his nature to harm others, so he needs to be restrained.” 

Mark took a sip of tea, his brow smoothing out. “Don’t corner a desperate enemy. If he is forced to fight like a trapped beast, you won’t gain any advantage.” 

Dexter didn’t comment on whether it was good or bad. He simply said he understood. 

The housekeeper stepped forward to refill the coffee at the right moment. “A message just came from the Simmons family, saying that the lady of the house has passed away. 

Mark expressed surprise, “You mean the Mrs. Simmons who rose to power through her lover?” 

Claudia said, “Why are you looking at me? I haven’t been involved in worldly affairs for many years. I’m not clear about these things.” 

The housekeeper chimed in, “Yes, there was quite a fuss about it a couple of years ago. Everyone said she was very resourceful.” 

“How did she die?” 

“It was said to be a sudden death.” 

With a cold huff, Mark seemed as if he had heard a joke. “The Simmons family is a prestigious one, not a place where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can rise to power. She seduced so many men with her dirty deeds in the past, and now she’s getting her just deserts!” 

What he said seemed to make sense, but Josie, sitting on the side, understood the hidden meaning. She fathomed Mark was criticizing her indirectly. 

Heather curiously asked, “Father, what’s the matter?” 

“All you need to know is that a woman who interferes in someone else’s marriage never meets a good end.” As Mark finished speaking, his meaningful gaze landed on Josie. 

She was dressed lightly, so she felt somewhat cold in the rainy weather. Her fingers were exceptionally pale 

Last night, Mark saw her interacting with Arnold. So, it was only natural for him to say those things that day. 

However, Josie felt the words were more suitable to be directed at Heather. 

She wasn’t angry either. The corners of her mouth slightly lifted in response to Mark’s gaze, blatant and 

straightforward. 

Confronted with her bare gaze, Mark furrowed his brows. A kind of indescribable emotion slowly rose within him. 

Josie looked around, then suddenly said, “Mr. Olsen, I’ve always been curious about the structure of the Olsen residence while working as a designer. I wonder if I could have the opportunity to take a look around today.” 

After she finished speaking, she thoughtfully added, “Laura can accompany me.” 

At this point in the conversation, it seemed the host had no room for refusal. With a respectful yet sarcastic tone, he remarked, “I was under the impression that you had already thoroughly explored the Olsen residence, Ms. Warren.”
