Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 1300 No Need To Be So Nervous

Upon stepping out of the hotel's entrance, Josie felt an arm wrapping around her waist as she fell into the warm embrace of a man.

Laura's hand failed to grasp anything, so she turned around. "Isn't tonight's display enough? Do you want the whole city of Wavery to know about your affairs?"

Dexter glanced at her emotionlessly. "I remember you causing trouble at the banquet and demanding Arnold and me to resolve it for you when you were young. A few years have passed, and you have indeed grown a lot."

The sarcasm in his words was palpable.

Laura took a deep breath. "I wasn't aware of what happened today. I'll teach Maverick a lesson."

"It's better that way."

Dexter spoke with clear enunciation. After finishing his words, he promptly lifted Josie and got into the car that Larry had driven over.

He did that because Grape would be worried and afraid of seeing Josie in this state.

The car door slammed shut abruptly. By the time Juliette rushed out, all she could see was the trailing exhaust fumes from the vehicle.

"Ms. Brandel, you have to give me an explanation for today's events."

Laura's temper hadn't subsided yet. She descended the steps alone and knocked on Moses' car window. "Give me a cigarette."

Moses was about to start the vehicle and now found himself in a dilemma. "Ms. Brandel..."

Laura gave him a sharp gaze.

Moses could only hand her the cigarette and lighter.

She lit it up, then turned to Juliette beside her. "Josie has been taken away. There won't be any more mistakes."

Juliette wasn't naive; she could read between the lines. "I just thought Josie was on your side and didn't know that you would be in such a predicament. Well... nothing new under the sun, huh?" Laura leaned against Moses' car. Her own vehicle was not too far off with the windows left down.

She felt irritated. After today, it seemed there would be a major reshuffle in the Olsen family. It was absurd how she had coincidentally bumped into Dexter.

Moses attempted to speak. "Miss..."

"Aunt Laura!" A childish voice interrupted Moses.

Laura stiffened, then turned to see Grape in the backseat. Her expression changed rapidly.

"Little one, what are you doing here?"

Grape spread her arms, wanting her to embrace her. Laura glanced around before realizing something.

"Ms. Witherspoon, let's discuss tomorrow. I will take care of it."

Juliette had no choice but to leave despite her confusion.

Before getting into the car, she instinctively turned back, seeing Laura open the door and carry a little girl out.

She didn't see anything else.

Moses immediately wanted to stop her. "Ms. Brandel, this isn't right."

"What's wrong with this? Look how long Grape has been stuck in the car. Let her get some fresh air."

Laura intentionally put out her cigarette, gently cradling Grape in her arms. Under the streetlight, a little girl, dolled up in pink yet filled with a sense of grievance, rested her head on her shoulder. Her eyes were large and blinked rapidly.

"Do you miss your mommy?"

Grape nodded obediently. "Daddy said he's going to pick up Mommy, so he told me to wait here."

Laura and Moses exchanged a glance. The latter's gaze was filled with caution.

"I saw your parents leave earlier. Follow Mr. Chakov back." Laura combed Grape's hair. She gently lifted her onto the back seat and secured her with the seat belt.

As she was leaving, she arched an eyebrow at Moses. "Relax, I'm not going to do anything to her."

Moses choked. "That's not what I meant."

He received a message from Dexter and didn't dare delay any longer, driving off with Grape.
