Blind Date Turned Proposal

Josie moved closer to Morgan. "Listen carefully, I'm saying this to you, not Ryan. If he dares to mistreat Angel, I'll be coming after you first."

After hearing her warning, Morgan felt bewildered. However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Dexter's figure. Suddenly, he reached out, pulling Josie closer to himself by her head. His breath brushed against her face, carrying with it a certain sense of intimidation.

Josie furrowed her brows, wanting to break free, but Morgan wouldn't allow it.

"Well, I'm actually looking forward to it."

When Dexter witnessed the scene, his lips pressed tightly together.

Morgan subsequently released Josie, throwing a provocative glance in Dexter's direction before cheerfully heading towards Ryan.

Josie didn't take it to heart. However, the scent that Morgan emitted when he passed by her left her stunned, one that she vaguely recognized.

Where have I smelled it before?

After Laura and the others had left, Josie had no choice but to take a taxi home. Even as she walked onto the street, she was still wondering where she had encountered that scent before.

I remember now!

She squinted her eyes. Laura.

After spending the evening with Laura, the latter's distinctive perfume had rubbed off on her. Josie lifted her hand to sniff, and sure enough, it was there. However, the scent she had just detected was unmistakably coming from Morgan.

Is it him? Josie's face darkened, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

She didn't notice when a car pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down and Moses' teasing words came from it. "Miss, need a ride?"

Regaining her senses, Josie was startled to see Grape's chubby face pressed against the rear car window, her eyes filled with longing. "Mommy, let's go home," she said.

Dexter was surprisingly by her side.

Subconsciously, Josie glanced down. The ride-hailing app indicated that there were still fifty-five people ahead of her.

Fine, I'm not going to argue with Dexter over this.

However, once she got in the car, the atmosphere grew tense. Dexter shot her a glance. "So you left the kid with me just to meet your ex-boyfriend."

Josie raised an eyebrow. How did he know? "You must have seen me."

She was quite confident about it.

Unable to contain his frustration, Dexter rolled down the car window, letting the cold breeze in.

Josie didn't say much more. Instead, she played with Grape. However, Grape was observant and whispered, "Daddy is upset."

Pretending not to hear, Josie playfully squeezed Grape's chubby hand.

"Josie." Dexter finally couldn't hold back.

"What is it?"

Dexter found himself unable to voice his thoughts, as they were currently not in an official relationship.

However, it wasn't until they returned to their residence that they found Morgan's car conveniently parked at the entrance. Dexter was the first to get out of the car and headed straight to the study.

Justin was just munching on a cucumber when he came out and saw Dexter's retreating figure. "Oh, what happened?"

Josie ignored him as usual. With the help of the servants, she bathed Grape and coaxed her to sleep before leisurely returning to her room. However, just as she reached a corner, a large hand pulled her into it. A sharp pain shot up Josie's spine, and when she looked up, she saw Dexter, barely concealing his anger.

She remained calm. "What are you doing?"

Dexter gazed at her rosy lips. "The hundred-day contract isn't over yet. It's not quite appropriate for you to meet your ex-boyfriend in front of me, Ms. Warren."

It must be because of what happened earlier.

Josie struggled to break free. "Don't push your luck. We only have a contract. I didn't sell myself to you. Do I need to inform you about who I socialize with?" She raised an eyebrow, emphasizing, "Ex-husband."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Rendered speechless, Dexter placed his finger on her lips, gently caressing them. "How spirited."

"The bidding has ended, and the project is about to begin. What do you have to include in your report to Arnold?"
