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

Josie turned her face away, not responding immediately. However, the rise and fall of her chest had already betrayed her emotions. As it turns out, this has been the plan from the very beginning.

“As long as you stay, we will take care of all the treatment and care for Paul,” said Claudia. “Dexter has personally guaranteed. As long as you agree, there will be no issues on his end.”

After a long silence, Josie finally said, “I want to know something. If I hadn’t mentioned leaving today, would you still have said all this?”

Claudia paused, her mind turning over the information. “Indeed, I only found the medicine these past few days. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was afraid you’d be disappointed-“

Unexpectedly, Josie interrupted her by asking, “If you’re using these threats to make me stay, how could I dare to entrust him to you?”

“Leanne-“

“I must admit that your offer is quite tempting. It’s tempting enough that I lack the confidence to refuse. Dexter has always encouraged me to stay with the Olsen family. Perhaps he considered this as well. However, the reality of it all still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.”

Those firm words, spoken with resounding clarity, pierced Claudia’s heart and made her lips quiver. She wanted to explain, yet she didn’t know how to.

After a moment, Claudia reached out, her fingers clutching the corner of Josie’s clothing. She gave it a gentle shake and said, “Leanne, I know you’re considerate toward the man who raised you for many years, but your biological father is here. Can you show him some understanding as well?”
