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

Josie refused to admit to Dexter’s comment. “Not always.”

“No? You always clamored for raspberry roll cake from Orchid Bakery on our way home from school. Once, they were sold out, and you were so upset that you refused to eat. You ended up with gastritis and got hospitalized.” Dexter recounted the past in vivid detail, remembering it all too clearly.

Naturally, Josie remembered that as well and felt somewhat helpless. “That was an exception.”

She remembered after she was admitted to the hospital that time, she was still upset. No matter how much Mark and Claudia tried to coax her, it was all to no avail. Dexter then went to Orchid Bakery before the break of dawn and waited for it to open. Clutching a wad of bills, he declared he wanted to buy ten raspberry roll cakes.

The salesperson was utterly amused.

Nonetheless, Josie cheered up for real. She beamed from ear to ear at that time. “Only Dexter understands me. None of you do.”

At the side, Mark said teasingly, “Oh, since Dexter understands you best, how about marrying him when you grow up?”

At the time, she couldn’t grasp the concept of marriage. As she ate, she grinned. “That’d be wonderful!”

Everyone in the room burst into laughter. Only Dexter, who had just entered adolescence, silently blushed, his earlobes turning red.

Later, when many others repeated Mark’s words, his expression remained calm. He went along with the flow, his earlobes never red again.
