Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 937

His eyes were dark and sharp, like a blade. "You've done things like this more than a few times."

Josie was speechless. What she did on the day of Heather's art exhibition was indeed unexpected.

"I'm not that petty. Marry whoever you want. What does it matter to me?" Her voice was soft, filled with discontent.

Upon hearing this, Dexter felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. In the past, she would have definitely made a big fuss about it, but now it seemed like she cared less and less.

"Then stay here."

Josie frowned. "Does that mean once the fifteenth is over, you'll let me go, and I can go wherever I want?"

A hint of subtle panic flashed in Dexter's eyes, but it quickly vanished. "Yes."

"What about going abroad?"

"Don't you dare!" he blurted out.

Josie laughed. She approached again, kneeling on the sofa, leaning in close to him. "Why did you panic?"

Dexter turned away from her.

"Actually, you might be a little reluctant to let me go, right?" Josie teased, cradling his cheek in her palm. "But you're getting married. Are you going to keep me as your mistress in the future, Mr. Russell? I won't agree."

For some reason, Josie always felt that, despite Dexter's seemingly ruthless demeanor, there was a bit of tenderness deep down for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to save her last night.

"Grandpa gave you assets, right?" he suddenly asked.

Josie responded with a hum.

"With those resources in your hands, I naturally can't let you leave the country."

It was an explanation, ruthless and cold. The slight hope in Josie's heart vanished. Her eyes stung. "So, I misunderstood."
