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

Dexter had already turned and left, entering the playroom filled with toys. He squatted down with a smile. “Is it really that enjoyable?”

Upon seeing him enter, Grape immediately put down her toy, intending to go out and find her mother.

Dexter’s large hand stopped her, pulling her into his embrace. The scent of milk on her was overwhelming, more soothing than any sleeping pill he had ever taken. “Let Mommy have some peace for a while. Don’t disturb her just yet.”

Grape clearly didn’t quite understand, but she obediently nestled in Dexter’s arms. Her tiny fingers touched the corner of his mouth. “Mr. Russell, you’re bleeding.”
