Blind Date Turned Proposal (Josie and Dexter)

"It's just a piece of land, so I'm letting it go. After all, she is the biological mother of my child. I don't want her to lose her mother's love at such a young age." Dexter's expression was nonchalant, as if he was merely discussing what to have for breakfast.

The sky outside was gradually brightening.

"Oh? You traveled a great distance to chase her down here and chose to give up such valuable resources, all because she is the mother of your child?" "Why else would I do that? Did you really think I'm obligated to give so much for an ex-wife?"

"I can't do that. It's not something I did, so where would I find so much money to compensate you?" Dexter admitted honestly.

For the sake of our child, I'm willing to give it to you But the funds on that ship are worth more than hundreds of millions. I can't afford to give any more than that."
