Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1179

Josie didn't know how to respond. There was a hint of helplessness in her tone as she said, “Some people simply can't go back to the past.”

“Then we won't go back! You didn't like who I was before, right? I won't go back, then!”

“That's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is, the love we once shared can't be reclaimed. I am no longer fervently devoted to you.”

This response caused Dexter's actions to momentarily slow down. A rare vulnerability appeared in his eyes as he softly asked, “You don't love me anymore, right?”

“That's right. I don't love you anymore.”

Even with such a response, Dexter still didn't believe it. “Look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore,” he said.

“I don't love you anymore.”

“Say it again.”

“I don't love you anymore.”

“Say it again.”

“I...”

Before Josie could finish her sentence, Dexter completely lost control. He leaned in, pulling her into his embrace, unable to suppress his trembling as he said, “But I still love you.”

The grip was unyieldingly strong, causing Josie to suffocate, unable to break free.

A whirlwind of emotions swirled within her heart, she could truly feel that she still held a place in his heart.

The taste of alcohol was too strong, almost invading her heart, leaving her breathless. She tried to speak, “Dexter—”

“Josie, do you remember the first time I asked you to marry me, several years ago?” he asked.

Josie furrowed her brows. “Yes, I remember.”

“That wasn't our first time meeting each other.”
