Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1290

“Mr. Russell, Mr. Kaufman tried to reach you earlier but couldn't get through. He called me instead and asked me to tell you to return his call as soon as possible.”

Larry, who was driving in the front seat, cautiously began to speak.

Dexter lowered the car window halfway, deep in thought. “Preston Kaufman?”

“Yes. Perhaps there's something urgent with Russell Group.”

The neon lights cast an elusive glow on the man's face, making his expression unreadable. He didn't seem to be listening; instead, his gaze was fixed on the boy who had been silent the entire time in the passenger seat.

From the moment Paul was sent to the Olsen Residence up until now, he had not uttered a single word.

“Justin.”

He did not respond. Larry quickly nudged him with his foot, giving him frantic glances. It was only then that Justin seemed to come back to his senses “Hmm?”

“Do you blame me?”

Justin remained silent, implicitly admitting it.

“You blame me for taking the liberty to discuss with the Olsen family and send your father there. Although the environment where he recuperated was quite good, and you couldn't find a better option, you still feel unhappy, don't you?”

Dexter revealed Justin's melancholy.

Justin took a deep breath, summoning the courage to meet the gaze of the man reflected in the rearview mirror.

“Heh, so what if he's my father? The choice is in your hands. I'm just not capable enough to make decisions.” He let out a self-deprecating chuckle. “I don't blame Josie. She doesn't have a choice too. We're all pathetic.”

“It's my fault, then,” Dexter responded quickly, his tone icy and detached.

Justin turned his head away.

His deep, black eyes appeared to comprehend the world in a manner that intimidated others from directly encountering his stare.
