Chapter 448 Uncle Owen
The curtains opened, and the boss entered. “Are you done?” he asked.
“Yes, thank you for helping.” Dexter answered, his voice respectful and deferential.
Owen waved his hands dismissively. His curiosity was piqued as he asked, “And this is?”
He was asking about Josie.
„Josie’s eyes shifted with uncertainty, pondering how to answer this question.
Should I say I’m his girlfriend?
She subconsciously stepped back as she felt pressured by the situation.
Suddenly, Dexter grabbed Josie’s wrist and pulled her to the front. “I’m already married, Uncle Owen. She’s my wife, Dexter said nonchalantly.
Josie felt a shiver run down her spine.
Feeling incredulous over his blunt statement, she blinked repeatedly in shock.
“You’re married? That’s great!” Owen chuckled in delight and patted Josie’s shoulder, then proceeded to say, “Let’s go! I’ll take you guys for some good food.”
“Ah?” Josie’s eyes bulged from the abrupt invitation.
Dexter signaled her to follow Owen.
Josie wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes. She never thought the man who made important decisions with millions of dollars at stake would be sitting by the roadside, savoring food from a food truck.
He also didn’t look disgusted or unwilling to be there at all.
Owen ordered a few bottles of beer, clearly excited to see Dexter. “I’ve watched Dex grow up since he was a boy. It’s been so long since then,” he said to Josie.
The sudden revelation of Dexter’s past caught her off guard.
Dexter poured some beer for Owen. “I’ve been really busy these few years,” he answered coolly.
“Do you think I’m a fool? You don’t have to keep your guard up in front of me,” Owen replied.
Dexter fell silent.
He was really tall, and he barely fit into the small bench by the food truck. The man’s legs dangled awkwardly off the side of the bench.
As she munched on the tacos, Josie asked, “What happened? I’m really curious to know
Owen gave a knowing smile and didn’t say anything.
