Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 994

Once the ceremony concluded, it was time for the wedding toast.

Heather had changed into her wedding reception dress.

"Congratulations, Mr. Russell. You've finally won the heart of your beloved," Morgan said, his voice tinged with a mix of sarcasm and sincerity. He raised his wine glass, his face clearly displaying more joy than mockery.

Dexter looked at him without anger, clinked glasses with him, and replied, "Thank you."

Morgan gazed deeply into Heather's eyes. "Congratulations, Ms. Olsen..." He paused for a moment. "I should be calling you Mrs. Russell now. Congratulations on achieving your wish."

Heather maintained a composed smile, though her palms were drenched in sweat. The man before her had spoken with a beaming smile, but only she knew the malice he concealed beneath his facade.

"May you also achieve what you desire, Mr. Bastille."

Only the two of them could discern the subtle nuances within those words.

Matthew watched from the corner, his hands pressing down on the table. He gritted his teeth as he exclaimed, "I knew it when Jo married him years ago. This man is not trustworthy!"

He was too conspicuous, his plans too intricate, to the point that even Heather, who stood beside him at that moment, might not fully comprehend them.

Mallory's expression remained calm. She absentmindedly swirled the wine glass in her hand. "Dr. Sander, did Josie inform you of the reason for bringing the plastic surgeon here?"

Matthew was taken aback. "She only asked me to do this. She didn't tell me why."

Now that Josie had disappeared, he had no way of knowing the reason.

"Do you have any news of Josie? I'm genuinely concerned about her. She hardly has anyone she can trust in Wavery," Matthew anxiously inquired.

Ignoring the persistent, burning gaze that she couldn't shake off, Mallory deliberately moved closer to Matthew. She whispered in his ear, "I don't know either."
