Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 917

She slept restlessly.

Faces of many people appeared in her dreams, including Summer's, Edward's, and even Dexter's. They tormented her nerves, the agony constantly reverberating through her.

“Ah!” Josie jolted awake.

She glanced at her vibrating phone beside her. A sense of dread washed over her. The caller ID showed it was Morgan calling.

She paused for a moment, got up to pour herself a drink, and answered the call, “What's up?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then quickly came the question. “Your voice sounds off. Did you just wake up?”

Josie glanced at the time, which read five in the afternoon, and denied, “No.”

“I just received news. Edward has disappeared.”

Josie closed her eyes briefly, wanting to say that she knew this news before him, but she still pretended to be puzzled. “Why?”

“He was taken away last night, and his whereabouts are unknown.” There was a probing tone in Morgan's voice. “You didn't know?”

“Arnold will go mad,” Josie chimed in with a cold laugh.

Morgan remained silent for a moment, then said, “It will be a while before I can return to Wavery. You should step out for a bit. Go somewhere.”

After hanging up the phone, he sent her an address. It was the same office building where they had met last time. It was his workplace in Wavery.

After tidying up, Josie stepped out of her house. Her destination was close enough to reach by foot. As she walked, she couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. Yet, every time she turned around, there was no one in sight.

She turned the corner and hid at the entrance of the alley, waiting for quite a while. Sure enough, a man quietly followed her, looking like someone who was proficient in combat.

He didn't find Josie and quickly left.

Josie let out a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

At that critical moment, she couldn't determine who was tracking her.

Having managed to slip away from the crowd, Josie breathed a sigh of relief and strode down the street. Unbeknownst to her, a black Santana was suddenly speeding toward her from a distance, heading straight for her.

Whoosh!
