Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 989

Mark felt a chill emanating from her voice, causing his heart to sink a little.

Before he could comprehend what was happening, the host's voice suddenly echoed from the television screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. The wedding ceremony of Mr. Russell and Ms. Olsen is about to begin!"

All the guests took their seats.

The beautiful corridor was adorned with petals. The attention shifted to the man at the end of it. He stood offstage, dressed in a black suit, appearing more solemn than usual.

Josie closed her eyes. So that's what he looks like when he gets married.

The other end went silent upon hearing the vibrant voice from this side before promptly stating, "There's still an hour left."

Dexter looked at the host and the anxious Claudia at the side. "I can buy you at most forty minutes."

"That's enough."

"Get on stage."

Before Calvin could even react, he was pushed onto the stage.

He picked up the microphone, his face amiable as he said, "As Dexter's long-time good friend, I feel it's necessary to share my thoughts on this special day. Over the years, this man has been..."

It seems so. Claudia said seriously, "I don't care what you're up to. Stop it immediately. Today's occasion is too important!"
