Chapter 445 He Got Married Because It Was Her
When they returned to the Mason Garden, Josie’s face was a mask of shock and confusion. Her eyes were wide and unblinking; the color all drained from her face.
Dexter noticed her distress and put down his newspaper. “What’s wrong?” he asked, reaching out to touch her forehead.
Josie forced a smile and lifted her phone. “I just got a notification that the daughter of the CEO of Laxir Corporation was caught taking drugs,” she answered.
Dexter’s face was thundercloud, but he quickly regained his composure. “Wavery is a city that has a zero-tolerance policy for drug use,” he said. “She deserves to be punished.”
Josie stared at Dexter, her eyes full of doubt. “Is it simply a coincidence that the daughter of the CEO of Laxir Corporation was caught taking drugs?”
Dexter’s face turned to stone as Josie’s words sank in. “It’s not me,” he said, his voice calm without a hint of uneasiness.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was involved in the drug bust, even though she had no evidence. Hence, she could only rely on his expressions to give away the answer to her doubts.
Josie lowered her head in shame. I’m so sorry for suspecting you,” she said. “I know you would never do anything like that.”
“Dexter,” Josie wrapped her arms around Dexter’s waist and held him close. “I just don’t know how to repay you,” she said. “You’ve been too good to me.”
Although he had broken her heart before, Josie’s heart thawed through spending time with him. He had his guard up most of the time, but she knew he loved her.
Dexter stroked Josie’s hair lovingly, his touch like a warm blanket. “Isn’t it good like this?” he asked. “I’ve never expected you to repay me for anything.”
Josie’s eyes started to well up in tears as she cautiously whispered, “Are you nice to me because I’m Josie? Or is it because I look like Leanne?”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Dexter’s muscles went rigid, and his eyes narrowed like daggers.
“Who told you that?”
