Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869 Won Back After Going To Great Lengths 

“Do you like it?” Morgan’s voice rang out beside Josie. 

Josie looked back at him. “What do you mean?” 

“Such an event.” 

“It’s fake with no substance.” 

Josie genuinely disliked things that were overly flashy and superficial. Contrarily, she had a greater fondness for architecture that was grounded and practical. 

More people entered the hall, one after another. Among them, a voice drifted into the air. “I wasn’t in the best shape previously. I apologize for causing everyone to worry.” 

Before Josie saw the person, she heard her voice. When she swung her gaze over, she indeed saw Summer entering hand in hand with Arnold. The woman was currently dealing with a journalist. 

The man, on the other hand, had already spotted Josie and Morgan. His eyes promptly darkened. 

“Mr. Carter.” Morgan extended a hand gentlemanly. “What a pleasure to meet you after hearing so much about you. 

Summer had already regained her composure. Seeing Morgan, she was about to smile when she suddenly saw Josie. Her smile abruptly died. 

Verily, she couldn’t even muster a smile. “Why are you here?” 

Josie merely smiled without saying a word. Meanwhile, Morgan had already taken Arnold’s hand. He asked, “You know my girlfriend, Ms. Olsen?” 

No sooner had he said that than the grip on his suddenly tightened. Morgan looked back at Arnold leisurely. “You’re a practitioner of martial arts, Mr. Carter.” 

Arnold withdrew his hand unhurriedly. “I’m just surprised. I thought the article in the newspaper was just gossip, but it turned out to be true.” 

As he spoke. Josie could distinctly feel his probing gaze on her. 

Summer sneered, “Indeed, who would have thought Ms. Warren would be so lucky to be with you, Mr. Bastille.” 

The implication behind those words was a belittlement to the lowest level, hinting that Josie relied on 

men. 

Hearing that, Morgan casually placed his hand on Josie’s shoulder and remarked smilingly, “If you upset the girlfriend I finally won back after going to great lengths, where would I go to make my case were she to leave me. Ms. Olsen?” 

The information in that comment was monumental, reminding the woman that he was Josie’s ex- boyfriend. 

Summer’s face flushed bright red in fury. 

Arnold didn’t quite grasp that, but then, understanding dawned upon him. “Ah, she’s your ex-girlfriend.”

“First love, Morgan amended. 

Arnold’s hand that hung by his side surreptitiously balled into a fist. Just then, an attendant came over. “Mr. Olsen is looking for you, Mr. Carter.” 

Arnold glanced in Mark’s direction. “Okay.” 

Summer also looked over and saw Heather. Her expression darkened further, and she muttered, “What a rotten day.” 

Josie stared at their retreating figures, lost in thought as she reflected on a myriad of things.
