Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 889

Chapter 889 Compensation 

“People often think that more people means it’s better, but that’s not always the case,” Josie said, propping up her face and speaking earnestly. 

The boatman chuckled at her innocence. “Everyone has their own desires in life. If you have any, you can give it a try.” 

Josie didn’t respond but turned her head to look at the tall man on the deck. He was seated, but there was nowhere to put his legs. “Mr. Russell, ‘do you have any?” 

Dexter glanced at her, clearly unwilling to answer that question. 

She continued on her own, “Well, with your wealth, you can have whatever you want. Let me guess, do you wish for Heather’s well-being?” 

According to Laura, the rumor mill was buzzing about this matter in their circle. Heather hadn’t been seen outside for several days, and Summer had taken delight in her misery. 

The man frowned. “Josie.” 

He wasn’t angry, but he was getting impatient. Yet, he didn’t explode in anger and remained indifferent, leaving her in a state of uncertainty.

Dexter was still glancing at the menu when Josie took the initiative to sit down as she was tired. She immediately made her order, “Peanut noodles. strawberry crepe, and honey roast duck.” 

The lady boss quickly wrote it down and praised, in the local dialect, “The young lady is very good at ordering.” 

Josie replied with a smile in the same dialect, “I’m a local.” 

The lady boss looked at the distinguished man and asked, “What would you like, sir?” 

Despite his obviously young appearance, she couldn’t help but address him with “sir.” 

Dexter frowned slightly and looked at the woman who was already seated. “Same as her.”
