The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 My Condolences

Josie stopped Marilyn. “I… I’m not in a rush. I want to have some warm water. Could you heat up some water for me?”

Marilyn didn’t quite understand. “Alright. Please wait a moment.”

While waiting for the water to be warmed, the two looked at each other in the kitchen. Marilyn saw that Josie was sweating, so Marilyn immediately said, “The kitchen is hot. Wait

outside.”

… It’s alright. It doesn’t matter. I haven’t seen you in a long time, so I want to talk to you.” Josie immediately waved her hands. “How is Grandpa recently?”

“He’s doing well. Don’t worry.”

“That’s good… That’s good…”

Once the water was warmed, Marilyn swiftly poured it into a glass for Josie. “Take your time. I have to go out and buy ingredients. Wait for me. I’ll make sure you eat well tonight.”

Josie was at her wit’s end. While Marilyn was undoing her apron, Josie waved frantically at Dexter, who was in the living room, gesturing for his help.

The latter walked over casually and stood at the entrance of the kitchen. “It’s still hot. There’s time to go tomorrow. Don’t play favorites. I haven’t eaten your pudding in a while. Can I eat it today?”

Marilyn was startled when she heard it. She carefully sized up Dexter’s expression and stuttered slightly. “Yes… Yes. I’ll make it now.”

Josie realized they were safe and immediately said, “I’ll have to learn from you.”

While Marilyn was busy in the kitchen, the servants were almost done moving upstairs. Josie no longer panicked and secretly slipped out to sit beside Dexter. She asked quietly, “Why was Marilyn so agitated when you said you wanted to eat pudding?”

Dexter was replying to emails on his laptop and didn’t look up. “I haven’t eaten it for many years.”

“Why?” She asked subconsciously.

Dexter didn’t answer her. Josie realized there must have been some kind of story, so she kept quiet, embarrassed. When she thought he wouldn’t say anything, she heard his voice. “I haven’t eaten it since my mother left.”

previously guessed that Dexter’s mother was no longer around. She never thought that it was really the case.
