Chapter 552 Follow Her
This was the main difference between Dexter and Arnold. Arnold respected her boundaries, while Dexter would push them until she gave in.
After a short while, Josie softly said, “Dexter, I’m not sure if I can still like you.”
He could tell from Josie’s behavior that she had not yet forgiven him for his past actions.
He lifted his hands and wiped away the bloodstains on his lips. “So, who do you like? Arnold?”
Josie laid her head on his chest, her dark hair smoothly falling on the white sheets of the bed. Her clothes. were a tangled mess.
“Who knows?” She tilted her head to the side, purposely taunting him with words that he didn’t want to
hear.
Dexter pinched her cheeks. “Don’t forget, we’re not divorced yet. If you get together with anyone else, you’d be cheating on me. Don’t even think about leaving me.”
Josie’s face broke into a wide grin. “Who walked out on who first? Why didn’t you say anything when the internet was ablaze with rumors about you and Summer? What about the time I had to go to surgery after the car accident? Dexter, this is not right! You have no right to say this to me!”
Her voice was trembling with an overwhelming sense of dread. Seeing Dexter lean in closer to her with his solemn expression pushed her anxieties through the roof. However, she didn’t expect him to lower his head as tears welled up in his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Josie,” his voice quivered, each word trembling with the weight of his guilt.
Josie shut her eyes tightly, her mind lost in thought over the tribulations of their relationship.
After a short moment, Dexter got up and pur on his shirt. He stood in front of the windows, where the sunlight streamed in.
“I’ll let you go.”
Josie thought she was dreaming.
“But I’ll have to follow you.”
Josie’s mouth hung open in shock. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Dexter turned to look at her-his gaze leveled at hers. “I can’t let you run away again.”
The next day, Andy noticed that Dexter’s lips were bruised. “Mr. Russell, what happened to your lips?” he asked without thinking twice.
-Josie’s ears felt hot and flushed as she hurried past them.
Dexter continued to saunter, a smirk playing on his lips as he replied, “Do I have to explain to you where it came from?”
Larry’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he gave himself a soft slap on the cheeks to clear his
head.
Given how their relationship had progressed, Dexter and Josie were on the pathway of reuniting.
He accompanied Josie to the hospital that day.
The hospital was a high-security facility, so the VIP rooms were completely inaccessible to the public. Their privacy was thus ensured to be protected.
Upon entering the VIP floor, they were met by Andy, who approached them with hasty footsteps. “Mr. Russell… Ms. Warren…”
Before Josie could speak, a large hand landed on her shoulders, and a deep voice rumbled from above her head. “Mr. Johnson, what did you call her?”
Andy had habitually addressed her as Ms. Warren…
“Mrs. Russell,” Andy uttered, his head bowed.
“That sounds better.”
Josie lifted her head and saw Arnold walking out of the hospital ward. He nodded in acknowledgment.
His face flickered with anger, but he quickly masked his emotions. “Dex, you’re here,” he muttered casually.
Dexter didn’t let go of Josie’s hand. “How is she?” he asked.
“She fainted, but she’s going to be okay. The doctor said she’ll need some time to recover,” Arnold responded.
Josie released Dexter’s hand and quickly went into the hospital ward.
The two men stood facing each other, Dexter’s gaze following Josie’s retreating figure. “Arnold, you were too careless that day. You should’ve told me Laura was hurt,” he said as he voiced his complaints.
