The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Her Heart Ached For Him

Arching his brows, Dexter reached out his hand to pull Josie into his arms. Josie was relieved, thinking she could cling to him even if he became mad again later.

“I’m sorry, Dexter. I didn’t do it on purpose that day. I asked because I was worried about you. I have no bad intentions.” Josie babbled quickly, worrying Dexter wouldn’t buy her words.

Dexter was no longer hostile like the other day. He placed his hand on Josie’s waist and didn’t answer her directly. “Did you meet up with Arnold yesterday to irritate me?”

Josie was reluctant to admit her childish act.

Perceiving her acquiescence, Dexter caressed her hair. “You can rest assured that I’ll not harm you. Neither do I have a disposition for violence, so don’t worry.”

“I’m not worried about that.” Josie quickly said. “I just… feel sorry for your experience.”

Although Josie had lost her mother, she knew how much a family’s behavior could impact the children. She couldn’t imagine how traumatized Dexter was to be beaten up badly by his own mother and even hospitalized.

She could understand why Dexter was always cold and hostile.

Dexter was surprised to hear Josie’s words. There’s actually someone in this world who feels sorry for me.

Josie hugged him. “Please don’t take it to heart, Dexter.”

Dexter stood rooted on the ground as complicated emotions arose in him. At that moment, he found Josie like a wildflower, simple yet attractive.

Dexter got a hold of himself. Feeling Josie’s warm breath, Dexter suddenly placed his hand on her chest and teased, “Your heart’s pounding, huh? Are you that nervous to draw close to me?”

Josie shot a glare at him but didn’t deny it. She knew he deliberately teased her.

So, she didn’t bother with him but remained silent like an upset little girl.

“You must be happy to be with your rumored girlfriend the past few days.”

Josie’s remark pleased Dexter. Sitting beside her, he pulled up his sweatpants, revealing his appealing ankle.
