Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1152

After everyone had left, Josie was somewhat irritated. “You're going to spoil her with your behavior.” Nice drawing? Grape merely doodled. How could they possibly take them away for collection? It's too absurd.

Dexter was still admiring the painting. “It's indeed well-drawn, truly a display of talent.”

“Dexter!”

Only then did Dexter raise his head. “Do you think I was indulging Grape? In fact, she was the one who came to our rescue.”

His tone was laden with profound implications, which took Josie by surprise. “If they want me to leave, I can leave. There's no need for us to live together.”

She spoke lightly, yet the chill in Dexter's heart intensified. “I told you. You must stay with me for at least these hundred days.”

Josie didn't respond.

She couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He sat in the doctor's seat from earlier and seriously asked again, “I remember before I left, your health was perfectly fine. Why has it become like this now? That doctor said—”

She had a serious look on her face, which left Dexter utterly captivated. He chuckled and asked, “Do you believe that longing can make one sick?”

Josie could bear no more. She reached out his hand. “Dexter!”

He gently captured her delicate fingers. “Hands meant for designing should not be used to point at others.”

Though he said so, he didn't let go and continued to grip her tightly.

A large pile of medicine left by the doctor still remained on the table. Josie felt an unexpected pang of sympathy. For a moment, she didn't resist. “Dexter, as the ancients used to say, pricks live forever, so don't die too soon.”

After they met again, quite unusually, she earnestly spoke these words.

Dexter seemed lost in thought. In the next moment, he swiftly grasped Josie's wrist, leading her into the master bedroom. The door was then closed behind them.

Grapes were led away by the servants.

“What are you doing!” Josie was pinned against the door.
