Chapter 157 He Loved Someone

Josie breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was easier to talk to Dexter than she expected.

She watched him place another slice of orange in his mouth and asked, “Is it sweet?”

Juice burst from the orange slice as he chewed, but it was not as sweet as the smile before him. He

nodded slightly and answered, “It’s okay.”

Josie sensed he had moved closer and rushed to maintain distance between them. “Let me peel

another one for you.”

Dexter reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her. “I have enough.”

Josie froze immediately and looked at his hand on hers. She quickly pulled her hand away and

considered briefly before saying, “Dexter, I didn’t arrange to meet with Arnold that day. He cornered

me. I will try my best to avoid him from now on.”

She had pondered about the matter and thought she needed to explain it.

Dexter placed the last slice of orange in his mouth and asked, “Do you like him?”

While he sounded casual, Josie was shocked by his question. “Why do you ask?”

Usually, servants were busy with household chores downstairs, but they had all disappeared. Josie and

Dexter were the only ones in the room. Their voices sounded hollow in the vast

space.

“Arnold is known throughout Wavery as a womanizer. He seems respectable, well-mannered, and

capable, so he has no problem getting any woman he wants. Furthermore, any woman. he interacted

with couldn’t help falling for him,” Dexter explained casually. “You met him alone a few times. Are you

sure you never felt anything for him?”

Josie laughed and unfurled her hands, revealing the intricate lines on her palms. “Sounds like I should

fall in love with him?”

Dexter did not respond.

“No, not even once,” Josie answered firmly. “Although Arnold seems admirable, I keep feeling that his

gentleness is only a mask he shows the world. In actuality, he is hiding his greed beneath that mask.

Moreover, he approached me intending to exploit me. I’m afraid of him and can never love him.”

Josie stiffened again. She was asleep when they shared the bed previously. However, she was

currently fully awake.

“Erm, Dexter.” Josie caught up with him and shouted, “Have you known Arnold for a long time? Can

you tell me about him?”

Dexter paused immediately and glared at her warningly. Josie faltered and glanced elsewhere before

saying. “Dex…”

He furrowed his brow and placed a hand on her shoulder, holding her slightly, “Let’s get upstairs first.”

Josie entered the master bedroom and breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”

Dexter took off his jacket and entered the bathroom straight away. Soon, sounds of running water came

from the bathroom. Josie had no choice but to pace the room in embarrassment.

It took her a long time to calm down. Later, Dexter came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. His chest

was slightly exposed, revealing his well-formed collarbone and firm muscles. Water droplets rolled

down his skin. It was a mesmerizing sight.

Meanwhile, Josie sat on the edge of the bed and had trouble drawing on her laptop with one hand.

Dexter glanced at her and asked, “Do you want to hear about Arnold?”

Josie immediately put down her laptop and sat straight, nodding eagerly. It was impossible not to be

curious about someone like Arnold. Moreover, she wanted to know why Dexter would not go against

him directly.

“He loved someone before.”

Josie’s eyes brightened. Who would have known there was a love story behind the business rivalry?

“Arnold and that lady were childhood friends from equally prominent families. Everyone in Wavery

thought they would get married.” Dexter sat on the other side of the bed. Josie could see the side of his

face clearly under the bedroom light.

“What happened then? No way! Did that lady fall in love with you?” Josie guessed.
