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

When Josie was escorted into the mansion by Dexter’s staff, everyone treated her with great respect.

Rivodia was an inland city, without any coastline. However, it was surrounded by beautiful mountains that stretched across the landscape. Dexter’s residence was located halfway up the mountain, offering a breathtaking view of the scenery at the foot of the mountain, especially at night.

The affluent district was right here, and Dexter’s residence was situated in the most desirable location.

“Mommy, why do we have to live with Mr. Russell?” Grape kept asking this question throughout the journey.

Josie couldn’t tell her the truth, so she could only say, “Mr. Russell likes you and wants to see you every day. Don’t you also like Mr. Russell? Aren’t you happy?”

Grape leaned on her shoulder. “I like him, but you don’t seem to like him. I don’t want you to be unhappy.”

At such a young age, she was clever and mischievous, with an exceptional ability to empathize. Josie couldn’t help but laugh, yet she also felt a sense of comfort.

“I’m not unhappy.”

Upon hearing this, Grape readily accepted everything without any worries.

Numerous bodyguards stood at the entrance, yet they allowed Grape to run into the mansion without any hindrance.

The staircase spiraled upward, and the ceiling was high. At that moment, Dexter was seated on the couch, having a video conference.

“The piece of land where Rivodia and Wavery meet has already been given away. Just as Mr. Russell said, once we let go, according to Mr. Dalton’s suspicions, he didn’t dare to take over immediately. It remains at a stalemate there.”

A sound could be heard from the laptop.

“Let’s keep it at a stalemate for now. In the end, it’s uncertain whose hands this piece of land will fall into.” Larry spoke on behalf of Dexter.

“We’ve also identified Robyn’s identity. He’s indeed Arnold, and-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Grape had already run inside, shouting, “Mr. Russell!”

Dexter was sitting on the couch, his eyes closed in meditation. Upon hearing the sound, he immediately opened his eyes. The little girl had already thrown herself into his arms. He caught her steadily, and his previously expressionless face instantly lit up with a smile.

“Grape

Mr. Russell, did you miss me?”

Of course.”

Larry promptly ended the video conference. However, sounds could still be heard from the other end. They were greatly surprised.

Dexter picked up Grape and then lifted his gaze. Josie, dressed in a long skirt, was standing silently and elegantly at the entrance, holding a coat in her hand.

A gleam of joy sparkled in his eyes as he walked over. “Are you tired from the journey?”

Josie lowered her gaze, setting her coat aside. “It wasn’t a long distance, so there’s no question of being tired. I’ve washed your coat. Here.”

Dexter didn’t respond; instead, he curved his lips into a smile. “I’ve prepared a room for you and Mommy, Grape. Would you like to take a look?”

“Sure!”

“Hold Mommy’s hand, and let’s go together.”

When the soft little hand clasped hers, Josie understood that Grape had already surrendered at the first line of defense.

She shot Dexter a glare.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The room was spacious, offering a panoramic view. Dexter had intentionally set it up as a children’s room, filled with various toys that children of that age would love. Josie couldn’t help but frown. “You’re spoiling her with all of this.”

Dexter’s gaze was fixed on the girl playing on the carpet. “Is she still my daughter if she doesn’t even deserve these little things?”

“Dexter, I never said I would let her acknowledge you,” Josie said seriously.

“Nevertheless, I am her biological father. During these hundred days, we must live as a married couple.”

“It’s merely a transaction,” Josie said, devoid of any compassion.

Dexter felt the anguish in his heart, yet he refrained from uttering a single word in response.
