Blind Date Turned Proposal

Sitting next to Josie, Dexter asked softly, “Do you like this kind of wedding?”

Josie shook her head. “Not really. It’s too high-profile.”

Dexter took note of it.

As the bride’s mother, Claudia gave a speech on the stage. She shed tears as she was delighted for her daughter to marry a good man. Her blessings for the couple were genuine.

Everyone thought Arnold and Summer were a perfect match.

Some guests discussed Josie among themselves. “Is that woman Dexter Russell’s wife? The one he announced at Summer’s birthday party? Rumors say that she’s average-looking, but her appearance is way beyond average.”

“She’s indeed beautiful. No wonder she managed to seduce Dexter to marry her.”

“Even Summer can’t hold a candle to her….”

Josie had made Dexter proud and proved that they were the real couple.

“Many men have their eyes glued to you, and I don’t like that.”
