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

Chapter 1069

Mallory let out a cold sigh. “Go ahead and guess for yourself…”

After speaking, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

“Hmph, Grape, let’s not tell him. Let’s drive him crazy with suspense.”

As expected, Calvin immediately called back after she hung up the phone.

“Why aren’t you answering the phone?” Josie asked with a smile. It was then that Mallory realized she

had returned.

“Mommy…” Grape wriggled free from Mallory’s embrace and, like a wisp of smoke, darted toward

Josie.

“Good girl, Sweetie.”

Josie picked up Grape and then turned to Mallory. “It’s been two years since we last met, and it seems

there has been quite a bit of progress between you and Calvin.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

When it came to Calvin, Mallory let out a haughty snort. “Stupid man, so stubborn, don’t mention him.”

With that, she rudely rejected Calvin’s call.

“And you, Jo, you kept such a big secret as having a child from us. If I hadn’t come over today, I

wouldn’t have known. You actually have a daughter…”

Josie gazed at Grape in her arms, her eyes filled with tenderness. “By the time I learned of her

existence, I had already left Wavery for Sumanthova.”

After enduring so many unbearable events from the past, half of Josie’s heart had already been

hollowed out.

Back then, she was broken, consumed entirely by a profound sense of loneliness.

“Grape was like a divine redemption bestowed upon me, providing me with a unique warmth in this

world.”

Recalling that period of bleak and dark time, Josie felt an exceptional heaviness in both body and mind.

Fortunately, now she had Grape by her side, serving as a wonderful remedy, healing all her sorrows.

Mallory reached out and embraced her. “Josie, everything is in the past now…”

On the other end of the phone, Calvin was incredibly persistent, as Mallory’s phone never stopped

ringing.

“Are you sure you won’t answer it?” Josie teased.

Mallory said, “Let him guess. Curiosity killed the cat, after all. Who knows? He might even take a trip to

Sumanthova for this.”

Josie shook her head with a smile, appearing completely unsure of what to do with Mallory.

“Mommy, Ms. Whiteford bought me so many toys. There’s a toy car, a little train, a digger…” Grape

proudly introduced her new toys to Josie.

Josie gently tapped her little nose. “Did you remember to thank Ms. Whiteford?”

“Thank you, Ms. Whiteford.”

Mallory’s heart had already been captured by Grape. “You’re welcome, Sweetie.”

After Mallory finished speaking, her gaze naturally fell on Dexter, who was standing not far away. His

affectionate gaze was always fixed on Josie. Mallory then picked up Grape. “Come on. I’ll continue

playing with you…”

With a smile on her face, Josie watched the two of them play together. The next moment, she turned

around, only to find herself lost in the man’s intense gaze.

He had heard every single word of their earlier conversation without missing a beat.

From the moment Josie entered the room, his gaze never left her. “You’re back?”

Josie met his gaze calmly. “You’ve worked hard taking care of Grape today.”

Dexter raised an eyebrow, the sadness in his eyes deepening. “Must you be so formal with me? Josie,

how much longer do you intend to push me away? Hasn’t two years been enough?”

Dexter had initially intended to keep his emotions in check. The person who occupied his thoughts day

and night was right in front of him. He had plenty of time to be with her and take things slow…

However, he had underestimated his own strength. He found himself unable to tolerate Josie’s cold

indifference and alienation.
