Chapter 472 An Ordinary Couple
Behind the door stood Josie with her back against it. She stood in a daze with a glass of warm
water.
She suddenly felt slightly pained and had mixed emotions. She guessed Dexter went to a smaller room because he hadn’t wanted to disturb her.
But now, she couldn’t go in.
Mrs. Carroll was walking to the room with soup.
Surprised, Josie said, “Mrs. Carroll, let me do it.”
It seemed like Mrs. Carroll had just noticed Josie’s presence, and she couldn’t help but smile awkwardly. “Alright, Mrs. Russell. You can do it.”
Josie took the warm soup, opened the door, and entered the room.
The IV was completed, and Dexter was taking the needle out of his hand. Just as he was turning on the lights, the contrast of his exquisite appearance made him look shrewd and imposing even when he was ill.
The man’s first reaction was to furrow his brows when he saw Josie.
Perhaps he was befuddled from being sick and had forgotten that she was also at Mason Garden, or he didn’t want to let her know. Maybe men in high positions like Dexter were too proud to show weakness.
Or maybe he was afraid she would worry.
When he thought about it, he laughed at himself. He was feeling fear.
Josie didn’t know what he was thinking about. She put the warm soup down, and their gazes met. Her gaze was slightly alluring yet resentful.
She used her hands to feel his forehead and check his temperature.
Dexter pulled her hand down and held it. He tried to convince her. “It’s not warm anymore.”
His voice was hoarse because he was ill. Josie suddenly felt countless emotions swirling around in her heart. She only asked, “Why did you sleep here?”
“I saw that you were asleep when I returned. I was afraid that I would wake you.”
At that moment, the two people in the room no longer had their guard up, nor were they
suspicious or jealous of each other. They were like a real couple in the ordinary world who were interacting calmly. They were being authentic with each other.
