Chapter 294 Making a Move Against Carter Group
Few knew that she was the woman in the rumors. Josie was slightly anxious, and she stopped the video. She looked down to continue eating and didn’t hear a word from Dexter for a long time Josie couldn’t help but explain dully, “Could I have stayed silent when faced with such a question? I didn’t embarrass you, did 1?”
Dexter laughed aloud. He stroked her hair and propped his head up with one hand. His hurried heartbeat slowly calmed down as they looked at each other. “Mm. You didn’t.”
Josie had a strong intuition and feared that Dexter was so roused that he wanted to torment her today, so she came up with an excuse. She said that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
He grabbed her wrist. He was feeling slightly cold, but his palm was always warm.
The man said calmly, “There’s no rush. Let me take you around. Sleep after your food is digested.”
“Do you want to look around?”
“Hmm?”
It was a huge villa. Josie had yet to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny of this peaceful place.
Dexter put another coat on her before they left the room.
He led her to the library. It was enormous and consisted of two floors. Books filled every corner, including the stairs. When they opened the door, the fragrance of books in the cold room greeted them. From the paper’s quality and the books’ names, Josie could tell they had been bought for a hefty sum.
Some of the books could even be traced back to the Roman Empire.
Dexter told her gently about the history and background of the books. He was concise and comprehensive, and he took great pleasure in it.
Josie glanced at the books one by one and was surprised to find works from famous authors like William James and Sherwood Anderson.
It included the earliest edition of the book “Winesburg, Ohio. Josie reached out for it and looked at it. She remembered the book and found it fascinating. She smiled. “Have you read this?”
Dexter was honest. “No. It’s too difficult to understand.”
“I thought you would be interested.”
