Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1050

Her cries resembled those of a young girl, causing Lachlan to burst into laughter. "Compared to when I first met you, I prefer the way you are now, full of vitality," he said.

Their first encounter took place during a job interview. She appeared lifeless, like a stagnant pool of water. Although her work was lively, she herself seemed devoid of life.

Now, it could be said that she had come back to life.

Upon hearing these words, Josie was taken aback, and she too began to have a flashback from the past.

Lachlan let out a sigh. "Smile more, Alice. You look very beautiful when you smile. I really like it."

Given the atmosphere and the topic at hand, his statement was somewhat crossing boundaries, causing Josie to flinch in response. "I-I know..." she stammered while subconsciously avoiding his gaze.

Lachlan, however, maintained his intense gaze fixed on her. "Alice. I turn thirty this year, and I haven't had much experience with women. As you know. Sometimes, when I return to my empty house, I wish I had someone to talk to. Before I met you, I had never experienced such a harmonious collaboration with anyone else. You understood my principles, and I understood your ambitions. We worked together, both in business and personal matters, and we did quite well, didn't we?"

Josie felt uneasy upon hearing such sincere words.

A subconscious resistance stirred within her heart as she chuckled, "You are my superior, so it's only natural that I look up to you."

Lachlan couldn't help but laugh. "I don't know what you've been through in the past, nor do I know what kind of man Grape's father is, to make you uninterested in everyone. But what I want to say is, I'm interested in you. It's the kind of interest that makes me want to have a future with you."

Yup, he's definitely crossing the line now!

For a moment, Josie didn't know how to avoid him. She was somewhat flustered as she said, "I... Um... I'm tired."

"Alice." Lachlan grasped her wrist, forcing her to look at him as he continued, "My trip to Sumanthova this time wasn't just for work. It was primarily for you. Why don't you give both yourself and me a chance? I am very fond of Grape, and I am willing to become her father. That way, she wouldn't have to wait until she turns eighteen. You should consider her future."

Should I try to accept someone again? I have never thought about that before, and I never dared to. Lachlan was right about one thing, though. I should indeed consider Grape's future. It was already unfair that she was suddenly brought into this world, so she shouldn't have to suffer even more during her upbringing.
