Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 555 Let’s Pretend We Don’t Know Each Other 

At the end of the corridor, two women stood facing each other, enveloped in an unusual atmosphere. Josie lowered her head and spoke first, “Mrs. Hadey, I apologize for ruining Summer’s birthday banquet that day.”

Claudia examined her closely, unable to accept the fact that this soft-spoken woman before her was her daughter’s rival in love and Dexter’s wife.

“You’ve taken me by surprise,” she responded coldly.

Josie nodded in agreement, “I am equally surprised.”

Claudia’s gaze fell upon the beaded Buddhist bracelet on Josie’s wrist, her thoughts indiscernible under her mask of a dignified woman.

“Dexter has treated you well,” Claudia stated plainly.

Josie hesitated for a moment. “Well…perhaps,” she spoke uncertainly, as even Josie herself was uncertain of Dexter’s feelings.

“That child has grown up under my care. He is naturally distant, so if he treats you this well, it means you are someone he truly cares about,” Claudia said with bitterness. “I’m not surprised that he chose to marry you.”

Josie understood that Dexter’s feelings for her all came down to her appearance. She explained, “I know I bear a resemblance to your missing daughter and Dexter and she shared a special bond from their childhood.”
