Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 218

Chapter 218 You Don’t Have to Ask Me

Josie’s fingers turned white, and she pointed at the ungrateful man. “Would I be like a peacock if not for you?”

He smiled indifferently and signaled for Ivy and his secretary to leave. The former was unwilling, but she yielded in the end. She left darkly with the secretary.

After leaving the private room, Ivy had an awful expression. “Did you call Josie?”

“She called…” The secretary didn’t dare to look at Ivy. “But Mr. Russell prompted me to ask her to come here.”

After that, Ivy’s expression turned nastier. She took a deep breath and quickly walked to the elevator.

In the private room, Dexter reached out and gestured for Josie to come to him. She looked slightly reserved now that she wasn’t putting on an act. “What’s up?”

Dexter embraced her and touched her ice-cold fingers. “Was it cold on the way here?”

“It was worth it, no matter how cold it was. At least you’ll have a peaceful year-end.” Josie smiled. “How are you going to repay me?”

Dexter said absentmindedly, “What do you want?”

“Um…”

Josie was slightly nervous and hesitant. “I have a slightly unreasonable request. It’s absurd. I’m afraid you’ll get angry.”

It was rare for her to say such things. Dexter was grim. “Tell me.”

“Will you do it for me if I ask?”

In the silent private room, his pitch-dark eyes were fascinating. He didn’t answer Josie and only held her hand tightly. She understood and cleared her throat. She spoke slowly. “It’s just that… I’m considering. bringing my dad back to Mason Garden for the New Year’s.”

When she said it, she stared at Dexter’s expression and wanted to catch his response, but he didn’t react from the start until the end.

The corners of his lips were curving downward, and she immediately explained upon seeing him silent. I’m afraid my dad won’t wake up, so I want to spend New Year’s with him. You know what state the Warren family is in, and it’s unsuitable for a patient… so Mason Garden…”

Before she could finish, Dexter suddenly interrupted her in a low voice. “Josie.”

Josie’s heart sank. “Mm.”

“Did

you have to hesitate for so long to tell me this?” He was in a bad mood, and his voice was deep.

She didn’t understand, so she did not utter a word.

Dexter was slightly disappointed and exasperated at her. “You’re now Mrs. Russell. You can make any decision you want. Moreover, he’s your family. Do you think I would disagree?”

Josie only understood what he meant after a while. She laughed in exasperation. Josie extended her arms and put them around his neck. She leaned close to him. “Thank you. Dexter.”

The man’s large hand held her head as he stroked it gently. “Bring him back. Perhaps he will react to the outside world.”

“Grandpa has wanted to meet your family. I’ll also bring Grandpa back, and then we can spend New Year’s together.”

Josie didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment. She was on cloud nine and in high spirits. The feelings she had for him gradually grew to great heights.

After today, Dexter saw that Josie didn’t have much to do, so he told her to participate in the annual meeting’s design aspect. Ivy and Josie had to work together professionally. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Josie realized the importance of the annual meeting and didn’t dare to do it. “I need much more experience for the annual meeting’s design aspect. I’ve never done it before. Ms. Miller can deal with it alone. Why…”

Dexter said indifferently, “She can deal with it, but you must participate.”

Ivy stood at one side and felt grieved but kept quiet. She had worked with Dexter for years and understood he was laying the groundwork for Josie.

Mm… It’s only natural to lay the groundwork for Mrs. Russell…
