Chapter 658 Mysterious Red Box
Josie exchanged glances with Dexter before facing her father. “I’ll take care of it. Just tell me
what
you
need,” she offered.
Paul stared at her quizzically. “Are you grounding me here? You’re really not letting me go anywhere?” he asked, befuddled.
Josie nodded and explained, “The Mason Garden is large enough for you to explore for days. Pops, you have to be content with what you have.”
Seeing his daughter’s cunning smile spread across her face, Paul jokingly asked Dexter, “Is that something a daughter would say to her father?”
Dexter’s lips curved into a warm, gracious smile. He passed Josie a cup of milk and gestured for her to finish it. “I’ll get Moses to send you back. Please take care.”
Josie’s heart started to race as she thought about the danger she had put herself into. I reckon Wyatt wouldn’t hit me out of the blue, would he?
“Okay.”
After Dexter left, Paul gave Josie a list of things he needed. In addition to his clothes, he also listed many miscellaneous items.
Paul specifically emphasized one of the items on the list. “It’s a red box placed in the first drawer of the wardrobe. You must bring it back.”
Josie looked at the list carefully. “What precious item did you put inside?”
With a loud thud, Paul knocked his walking stick on the ground, expressing his irritation. “It’s my private belonging.”
“Oh? There must be money inside.”
“Tsk!”
Josie stopped teasing him after that.
She felt a strong sense of familiarity when she arrived at their old home. Everything looked exactly the same as she had remembered it. It also didn’t seem like anyone had been inside the house. She went to the wardrobe and opened the door, revealing a red box inside.
She wanted to open the box as soon as she saw it. She was curious about the contents and why Paul had been so secretive about it.
“Moses, it should be fine to take a tiny peek, right?” Josie hugged the box in her arms, hoping that Moses would approve.
Moses pursed his lips into a thin line and answered, “Why would it be an issue?”
