The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 7

Dexter’s hand, which was holding a chess piece, stopped midair for a second before he put it down and said, “Yes, Grandpa. That was indeed the case in the beginning. But I genuinely love her as who she is now.” 

Henry smiled in satisfaction. “I’m glad you guys are truly in love with each other. Now that I have seen you marry the woman you love, I have no regrets in this life. Waste no more time so that I can have a great-grandchild soon.”

Henry was in his eighties, so the functions of his organs started deteriorating.

Dexter’s eyes fluttered as he hummed in response.

The call that Josie received was from Jenny. The things she said were the same as yesterday. Josie brushed her off and went back to the ward.

When it was lunchtime, Henry insisted on going for a walk, so he brought Dexter and Josie to a restaurant outside the hospital.

After ordering a few of Henry’s favorite dishes, Dexter passed the menu to Josie and said in his deep voice with a tinge of affection. “Pick a few dishes that you want.”

Josie took over the menu and pretended to order a few dishes casually.

Soon, the dishes were served. Dexter put on a perfect act and helped Josie with the dishes from time to time.

Josie ‘returned the favor’ by putting some fried eggplants she ordered into Dexter’s plate. “Dex, try out your favorite dish.”

Dexter stared at Josie with warning flashing through his eyes.

Henry, who was sitting across from them, was surprised. “Huh? Dexter has hated eggplants since he was young.”

Josie smiled, “Grandpa, you might not know about it yet – eggplants are my favorite vegetable, and Dex started liking it too after we got together.”

“I see.” Henry beamed from ear to ear. “People say that couples will change their lifestyle after staying together for a long time. Back then, your grandmother and I were like this too. She loved desserts, and I didn’t, but I gradually had a sweet tooth too after being together with her.”
