Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1232

Upon returning to her residence, Josie hadn't anticipated encountering Zach in the courtyard.

Leaning against the magnolia tree, he idly scrolled through his phone, bored. Upon hearing footsteps, he glanced up abruptly.

“You've got some nerve showing your face here,” Zach remarked bluntly.

Josie turned to face him, closing the distance between them with deliberate steps. “This is my home. Leave.”

Her assertion carried an undertone of authority, and Zach immediately bristled. His agitation palpable, he retorted, “Yours? I've lived here for over twenty years. Who do you think you are?”

Josie's patience wore thin. “When I resided here, you weren't even born.”

Zach lost it and lunged forward, seizing her by the throat, his anger evident in his clenched teeth. “If you dare to stay,” he threatened, “I'll show you the consequences of messing with a local!”

Josie felt a twinge of discomfort, but she refused to let it surface. Instead, she offered a smile. “Zach, you haven't changed a bit in these two years.”

Zach remained silent.

“I haven't even done anything yet, just stayed at your place for a few days, and you're already so worked up. Aren't you a bit too impatient?” Josie's tone was calm, almost teasing.

Zach wished he could kill her on the spot. “You think you're high and mighty, don't you? Why don't you just leave? If you hate the Olsen family so much, why did you come back?”

“I had intended to leave,” Josie replied, her grip firm on his wrist as she slowly loosened his fingers one by one. “But seeing you in this state now, I find it rather amusing. Suddenly, I don't feel like leaving anymore.”

“You!” Zach's voice cracked with frustration.

Josie brushed Zach off, striding toward the door. “Emily, please escort our guest out.”

Emily appeared troubled as she glanced at Zach, lowering her head. “Mr. Olsen, I...”

“Go away!” Having no outlet for his anger, Zach kicked the tree trunk forcefully before storming off, consumed by rage.

Is he still asleep?
