That Day When I Got Married to My Boss at the Blind Date

Even Josie, usually so oblivious, could feel it. Josie cast a lingering glance at Laura. It was at that moment that she suddenly noticed across the street a farmiliar car parked. The window was halfway down, revealing a man’s enigmatic face. He looked exceptionally cold. That’s Dexter! When did he come back?

Josie’s heart raced in an instant.

When Dexter came into contact with the stain on her clothes, he squinted his eyes. But within a few seconds, a cute and delicate girl emerged from his arms. She leaned against the car window, waving at Josie.

Grape! They’re both here! Josie was surprised.

Perhaps due to being taught not to raise her voice, Grape only blinked at her, making faces to express her excitement upon seeing her mother.

Josie was lost in thought. Laura, who had already taken her seat, asked, “Aren’t you coming in?”

Only then did she compose her expression and take a seat. Dexter didn’t approach her directly. It seemed he didn’t want outsiders to know. So, she decided to play along and act oblivious.

Immediately, she pulled out her phone, only to be shocked to discover that she had unwittingly sent out that photo a few hours ago. Dexter had responded in an instant.

He responded with a question mark.

After that, he added: On the highway back to Wavery.

She hadn’t responded for a long time, so he sent another question mark.

There was still no response.

He texted: Is it inconvenient for you to reply?

He then texted again: I’m going straight to the hotel to find you.

Based on the time of the last message sent, Josie figured they had just arrived at the hotel. They saw us leaving as they pulled up, so they didn’t bother going upstairs.

Unconsciously, Josie lowered her gaze, turning off her phone. Looking through the rearview mirror, he saw Dexter’s car had already started, driving off in the opposite direction.

“Josie?” Laura’s voice held a hint of impatience as she nudged her.

Only then did Josie snap back to reality. “What did you say?”

Laura let out a soft sigh, holding back her impatience. “I said that I was hoping you’d keep today’s incident involving Zach a secret from the Olsen family.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Josie understood. Given Mark’s regard for her at this moment, she knew Mark would most probably punish Zach if he were to find out. It was highly likely that Laura would also be punished.

“However, his reckless lifestyle is not the best choice.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The underlying message in her words was advice given out of goodwill. However, when it reached Laura’s ears, it took on a different tone. Without thinking, she blurted out, “Josie, are you afraid that I will fight you for the Olsen family’s wealth?”

Time and again, she had tried to persuade her to get a divorce.

Josie was taken aback. “That’s not what I meant. How could you think that?”

Laura’s expression gradually softened. She playfully said, “Just a joke. Calm down.”

“Do you also believe, like them, that I returned to Wavery to fight for the Olsen family’s inheritance?” Josie asked.

Laura gazed ahead, lost in her thoughts. “That’s not what I meant,” she said. “I just wanted to say that not everyone is as fortunate as you.”

Josie found Laura to be quite peculiar. The people I care about are all in imminent danger, constantly under watchful, threatening eyes. I haven’t even found stability yet, so where is this so-called good fortune supposed to come from?

By the time they returned to the Olsen residence, it was already evening. As the sunset painted the sky, Mark sat in the courtyard, sipping his tea.

As soon as Laura entered the room, she washed her hands and sat next to him to pour tea. She then began to meticulously report on the complex details of her work.

Using the excuse of needing to use the restroom, Josie momentarily excused himself.

As soon as the door closed behind her, she immediately dialed Dexter’s number.

“Hey, Jo.” The man’s voice was deep and gentle.

“Why did you bring Grape back? My dad-“

“I’ve also brought him back because Wavery offers superior medical facilities. I have connections both high and low here, making it convenient for him to receive care.”

Josie was taken aback. “What about Rivodia-“
