Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1228

Taking a deep breath, Josie berated herself internally. Is it really that hard to take the initiative?

In her mind, she recalled the words Arnold had once spoken. He had told her that on the night she left Wavery, Dexter had attempted to give up on his own life.

Such decisiveness, it even took her by surprise, leaving her astounded.

Is the reason for his poor health and heart issues related to that night? Josie's mind was a tangled mess. After some thought, she decided to give up and dialed Justin's number. There was no answer for a long time. Just as she was about to hang up, Justin picked up, sounding somewhat flustered, “Hello.”

Josie was puzzled. “Why did it take you so long to answer? Where's Grape?”

“There was a bit of a situation just now... As for Grape, she's already asleep. It's late already..”

Glancing at the clock, Josie understood clearly, “How has she been these past few days? Has she missed me? Is she adapting well?”

Justin coughed lightly, speaking slowly as if carefully choosing his words. “She's doing well. Whenever she misses you, she looks at your picture. She's very obedient.”

“Did you take any pictures? I'd love to see them.”

“You didn't mention wanting to take a picture. Maybe next time. By the way, when are you coming back?” Justin changed the subject.

Josie hesitated, then spoke the truth. “I've been injured, and I'm currently at the Olsen residence in Wavery. I might have to stay here for a few days.”

Justin wasn't sure if he had fully understood, but he responded anyway. “That works too. Stay where you are, then. It's getting late. I'm hanging up now.”

Josie felt something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Suddenly, she asked, “How are things in Rivodia? Have you seen Dexter? How is he?”

Meanwhile, in Rivodia, across from Justin, there sat a man whose emotions never reflected on his face, his pupils pitch black.

After Justin finished speaking with his lips, Dexter wrote three words on the paper. “All is well.”
