Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1404

Josie was actually surprised that Dexter managed to get himself out of trouble through such connections.

It was too convoluted, too rough, and too risky.

She murmured, “Selena was just a mistress. How did you use that to your advantage?”

“When she left back then, she was already three months pregnant. Only I and Ms. Marilyn knew about it. That's why I hinted to you to go find her.”

No wonder Salazar spoke up. It was all because of the child.

Josie was too tense. Dexter tried to relax her by gently embracing her and patting her head. “You're smart enough to understand my hint.”

“Ms. Marilyn didn't remember because of me.”

“Ms. Marilyn has aged. Her memory isn't what it used to be, so she naturally couldn't recall as sharply as you. I sent someone to find Justin, and only after Justin reminded her, was she able to locate where Selena is currently living. Preston also deserves some credit for this.”

Josie was still tense, shivering uncontrollably. She wasn't sure if it was due to the extreme cold or something else.

“I begged Morgan, and he also provided you with evidence to clear your name. Why didn't you use it? Why go through all this trouble?”

His voice was muffled, filled with sadness.

Dexter increased his intensity, “People like Morgan, once you accept something from them, they'll have you under their control for life. I believe you must have paid a significant price to get him to help me, right?”

His words hit home. Sometimes, Josie admired his ability to judge people.

She looked up. “It was difficult indeed, but I went to great lengths to obtain those things for you. It seems you don't appreciate my efforts.”

“I don't want you to be controlled by him.”
