Chapter 248 Good News
Dexter looked at her in resignation and was moved when he saw the variety of dishes on the table.
He reckoned Josie must have sneaked out secretly and didn’t want to be discovered, so she was embarrassed now that he bumped into her.
Dexter attempted to tease her, so he drew close and uttered, “Are you nervous because this is your first time spending the New Year at my place?”
Having been seen through, Josie looked at Dexter sheepishly and mumbled. “That’s not true.”
Dexter laughed and embraced Josie in satisfaction.
Henry had a regular routine and woke up shortly after. He didn’t expect Josie to be awake this early and invited her to sit with him.
Dexter sat down and said, “Grandpa, Jo woke up early and made all these.”
Henry was surprised. “That’s impressive! Let me give it a taste.”
“I hope you like them,” Josie answered shyly.
The next few days, Josie and the servants decorated the villa with fresh flowers, bringing life to Mason Garden. While she was bustling around, Dexter and Henry sat in the yard and had tea.
Henry smiled, “Dex, I’m so happy to see you marrying a wife like Jo.”
“Grandpa…”
“The past has passed. You should cherish the present and let go of Leanne’s matter, alright?” Henry exhorted seriously while looking into Dexter’s eyes.
Dexter’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he gazed at Josie, who was plucking flowers in the yard.
“I understand.”
At ten o’clock that night, the news press and media companies under Russell Group received a set of pictures simultaneously. The picture captured Dexter and Josie in Mason Garden, but their faces were not revealed.
However, Dexter overlooked that Josie’s friends would also browse the Internet.
“Oh my goodness, Jo! You won’t believe what I saw on the news today!” Alice exclaimed on the phone.
“What is it?”
“I saw news of Mr. Russell dating someone! The girl in the picture looks like you!”
Josie nearly choked on the apple she was munching. “Stop the nonsense…”
“I’m not lying! Let me send it to you. The statements are exactly the same. All media companies under Russell Group seem to have gone all out!”
Josie checked her laptop and realized the news was already in the headlines.
Rendered speechless, she couldn’t question Dexter because he was not home yet. Does this, announce our relationship to the public?!
