Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1091

Dexter was not surprised at all, perhaps due to his prior mental preparation.

He leaned forward and said to Arnold, "Likewise, Mr. Mills."

"But you're not exactly like him. That old friend of mine is in better health than you."

Upon hearing this, Dexter did not respond.

"What a coincidence that you happened to be around today, Mr. Russell." Arnold pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Dexter.

Dexter declined. "Indeed, it's quite a coincidence."

"Once the matter is settled, I will present a modest gift as a token of my gratitude."

"That won't be necessary. Since you say I look like an old friend of yours, consider this a modest gift from me today."

Dexter's lips quirked up.

Arnold prodded his cheek with the tip of his tongue, glancing outside where the fire raged fiercely.

"It's a great gift."

Dexter bypassed Arnold, casting a glance at Josie, who had been standing behind him for quite some time.

She instinctively took a step back.

Calvin mouthed, "She insisted on coming."

After the related issues had been dealt with, dawn was breaking. Josie was dozing off in the corner, her face pale and looking unwell.

People gradually dispersed, and Dexter casually picked up a blanket. Just as he was about to drape it over Josie, she opened her eyes.

"Is it over?"

"Yeah."

Josie rubbed her neck, glancing outside. The fire had been extinguished, and at this point, the building was nothing but ruins. People were busy cleaning up the aftermath.

Arnold was constantly dealing with the authorities, effectively acting as the person in charge of La Oriele.

"Does his audacity to move about openly indicate that his matters have been settled?"

Dexter helped her up from the ground.

"Changing one's name and identity, thinking it can erase everything, is simply too naive."

He slowly exhaled, casting a glance at Arnold outside.
