Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1339

Josie sat on the beach and hugged her knees while gathering her courage to speak. “Claudia told me that you arranged for the doctor that day. They asked me to... invite you for a meal. Are you free?”

Silence prevailed on the other end of the line for a few seconds before Dexter uttered, “They asked you to?”

“Uh, I mean I wanted to invite you out for a meal!”

After Josie spoke, her courage seemed to abandon her. She waited anxiously for a response from the other end. She thought she heard a soft laugh from the other side, and instantly, her face flushed a deep shade of red.

“Forget about it.”

She was about to hang up.

“Where?” Dexter asked.

“What?”

“Where are we having our meal?”

Josie's lips swiftly curled up. “I'll send you the exact location. How does tomorrow night sound?”

Dexter gently hummed in agreement.

After ending the call, Josie suddenly realized that her palms were drenched in sweat, and her heart was still pounding intensely. She stared at the waves in a daze, wondering why she was feeling this way.

Why was I so anxious? Why did I suddenly become so concerned about his response?

Two years ago, Mark suffered a severe setback that greatly affected his health. After he fainted this time, the doctor insisted that he needed complete rest and should not worry about any affairs.

Claudia had even made a special effort to bring the bird they kept at home to the hospital. The birdcage was hung by the window to entertain Mark.

Josie was seated on the sofa, peeling an apple while staring blankly at the bird in the cage.

“Excuse me... Is Mr. Olsen here?”

A voice echoed from the entrance, drawing everyone's attention. To their surprise, they saw Juliette peeking in, her arms laden with various items. Her eyes, full of grace and kindness, reflected her good intentions.
