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

Josie gently shook her head as Dexter pleaded, “Can’t you give me a chance to return to your side, to make amends to you and our daughter…”

“It’s been two years, and it’s time to let go. We can both start fresh, live better lives, and no longer torment ourselves over a love that has long since withered away,” Josie replied, recounting a fact that Dexter did not want to acknowledge. She added, “In this world, there are countless couples who love each other but cannot stay together. Why must we insist on being together? The past is behind us. I am doing well, and you are not faring poorly either. We should have moved on from those times long ago.”

Dexter felt increasingly unable to understand Josie. “Is this truly what you think?” he asked.

Josie responded, “Otherwise, what? Initially, my selfishness led me to hide the existence of our daughter. Now that you know about her, I believe you will make up for the lack of fatherly love she has experienced. We are simply her parents, and that should be enough…”

“Does it really have to be this way?” Dexter’s words made Josie’s heart feel somewhat apprehensive.

Clearly, she too had things she was reluctant to let go of…
