Blind Date Turned Proposal Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Advised to Have a Baby

It’s canceled?

Dexter would do anything to maximize his profit; he wouldn’t let such trivial matters get in the way of his work.

Josie’s body tensed up in his arms, but Dexter tightened his grip on her. “Let’s return home. Grandpa is leaving today.”

Josie was feeling conflicted as she followed his lead to the car. She carefully lifted her gaze to look at him. His back was broad and firm. His charismatic stance is second to none. Why would a businessman like him cancel the partnership with a celebrity for her?

She felt downhearted the past few days, but now that the problem was solved, she was in disbelief at his behavior.

As she mulled over her thoughts, she felt a faint feeling of anxiety seeping within her.

All of a sudden, they passed by a massive mirror in Mason Garden. Her reflection in the mirror took her by surprise when she glanced at herself. She noticed her face was flushed with redness, her eyes filled with lust, and part of her lipstick was gone. Anyone would catch on to what had happened.

It was all because of Dexter! How can he act this way?

Marilyn had packed his luggage and prepared a car. When Grandpa saw them entering hand in hand, his face lit up as a smile spread across his face. He felt relieved when he exclaimed loudly, “That’s right!”

Josie returned a smile and said, “Grandpa, why are you in a rush? Stay longer so it’s more convenient for us to care for you.”

Dexter added, “What treasure do you have in the Russell Mansion that would require your immediate attention?”

Grandpa’s smile slowly faded away upon hearing his words. “You little brat! You only know how to anger me! Please learn how to speak properly from Jo.” He turned to Josie and continued, “I’m old now and need to rely on my bed at home to have a good night’s sleep.”

Josie nodded at his reply and walked towards Marilyn to thank her for her help throughout the past few days.

“I’ll

get

Chris to send you home,” Dexter informed Grandpa.

ed and whispered. “Try hard and have a baby with

long.”

Dexter was upset by his words. He furrowed his brows and replied, “You’re still in good health. Don’t say such things.”

Grandpa beamed and, with a more somber tone, said resolutely. “I’m the person that’s the most aware of my physical state. Also, you must get rid of your hot temper. Jo is someone you’re going to spend a lifetime with. You have to learn to compromise with one another. Don’t end up like your father.”

Dexter’s jaw clenched in response as he looked at Josie’s delicate physique. A lifetime? It’s hard to imagine.

“I understand.”

“Also, I’m not done yet.” Grandpa noticed his eyes flickered with annoyance and continued, “Have your wedding planned as soon as possible. Don’t make her wait any longer.”

Once Josie heard Grandpa’s advice, she turned to look at Dexter, but his head was looking away with an inscrutable expression. “Alright.”

Grandpa and Marilyn had both left. The Mason Garden felt empty all of a sudden. Josie sat on the balcony, looking at the sycamore tree by the streets. Its leaves were painted yellow, adding to the sense of nostalgia and melancholy that permeated the autumn day.

Her calm and composed demeanor masked her thoughts that had wandered off, ruminating on Grandpa’s conversation with Dexter. She didn’t even realize he was walking in her direction until he was right next to her.

He stood behind her and naturally rested his hands on her shoulders. “What are you looking at?”

Josie sat facing the vast and boundless sea. She tilted her head and laid her cheeks on his cold hands. “Dexter, did I cause more trouble for you?”

Her emotionless remark was layered with the weight she had carried in her heart.

“No.” His gaze laid on the hair she had cut off. “Why are you feeling unhappy?”

Josie took a deep breath but couldn’t unravel her most genuine thoughts. She summoned up a smile and averted from spilling her thoughts, “I’m missing Grandpa. He’s an adorable family member. Dexter, you’re fortunate to have him as your grandpa.”
