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

Chapter 258 Getting a Bit Too Involved

Josie was taken aback and touched by the magnitude of trust placed upon her. With a shake of her head, she replied, “Grandpa, I’m honored that you think so highly of me.”

Henry responded with a chuckle, refraining from boasting about his role in raising Dexter or prolonging the discussion.

With the information gleaned from Henry, Josie now had a deeper understanding of Xanthe’s background.

She searched the Quorn family in Wavery on her phone and was taken aback by what she found. Despite the decline of this century-old family, they still wielded significant influence in Wavery. It made sense why the Russell family was wary of Xanthe’s maternal family. Could this be the reason behind Dexter’s recent compromise?

Josie sat curled up on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the clock ticking towards eleven o’clock. Dexter had yet to return, leaving her in a state of uncertainty.

After contemplating for some time, she dialed Arnold’s number. After half a minute of ringing, he answered in a breathless and irritated tone. “What’s up?”

Josie’s brow furrowed as she questioned him, “What are you up to?”

It seemed like Arnold was in the company of a woman. Josie overheard him asking the woman to leave as he moved to a quieter corner. With amusement and irritation, he quipped, “I’m a lonely bachelor. What else am I supposed to do on New Year’s Eve? Josic, why do you always ruin my good times?”
