Chapter 171 Inevitable Matters
Dexter paused and lifted his gaze from her embrace, his eyes filled with desire.
Josie’s cheeks bloomed red, her voice trembling. “Not here. We are at Arnold Carter’s place.”
It was audacious of him to act so freely in the enemy’s domain, completely disregarding the influence of the Carter Group.
Dexter withdrew his hand, their foreheads touching. He spoke huskily, “Are you afraid of him seeing us?”
Josie struggled to grasp the meaning behind his words, unsure if he cared more about her fear of someone catching them or Arnold, in particular, seeing them. She pondered her response carefully, “Yes… I’m afraid of someone seeing us.”
Hearing her answer, he grew cautious and tightened his hold on her waist. “Let’s go home
first.”
While their actions in Heaven on Earth might’ve passed off as ambiguous, their actions this time would be too difficult to conceal. It was hard to hide the chemistry between them.
Josie wasn’t naive. She knew the reason why Dexter had turned up at Carter Group.
Carter’s elevator overlooked the breathtaking scenery of Wavery. Josie instinctively grasped. onto his clothes in the empty elevator as she looked through the transparent glass. Dexter tightened his embrace in return.
“Did Arnold Carter bring you up here the same way?”
Regaining her composure, Josie could finally think clearer. She looked up and smiled. cheekily, “Mr. Russell, could I interpret what you said as you being jealous, if I may be so blunt?”
With marks still visible on her neck, her smiling face resembled a blossoming flower bud. Dexter averted his gaze, feeling restless. “Who said I’m jealous?”
“Is that so? It seems that I’m the only one that’s jealous every day,” Josie quickly replied, playfully teasing.
“Whom are you jealous of?”
She actually pondered for a moment. Dexter had never behaved inappropriately to anyone. else, so there was no target for her to blame on. “Perhaps Ms. Miller. You two are always

As Josie verbalized her thoughts, her fantasies grew wilder.
Dexter sneered, “You know quite a lot. You’ve entertained these thoughts often during work, huh?”
She pouted, “What. I’m not even allowed to slack for a bit now?”
Dexter remained silent, yet his grip on her waist tightened.
Undeterred, Josie persisted with her questions as they headed back to Mason Garden. “Please do enlighten me, Mr. Russell. Why did you come here by yourself? Were you looking for me just now?”
Dexter stared at the traffic ahead, a hint of awkwardness appearing on his usually calm face. “You’re overthinking.”
Josie deliberately rubbed against him, her persistence growing. “At the racecourse, when you saw me with Arnold Carter, were you surprised?”
He glanced at her sideways, his voice turning cold, “I didn’t know you two were there in the first place; it was a coincidence.”
“Then, when you rode your horse and bumped into me, were you angry with me?”
Josie’s courage inexplicably grew for some reason.
Dexter cast a sidelong glance at her, his voice and expression distant. “You are one of the Russells and my lawful wife. I don’t like others tainting what is mine, so how is it wrong to be angry?”
His possessiveness sent shivers down Josie’s spine; hence, she restrained herself, “But… I somehow feel like Arnold Carter already knows about our marriage.”
Dexter wasn’t surprised; he was always prepared for everything. “It’s only a matter of time. before he finds out.”
Josie paused momentarily, realizing that henceforth, she was no longer just Josie-she would. also be known as Dexter’s wife. She couldn’t just behave however she wanted anymore.
When they returned to Mason Garden, the lights were still on, and Marilyn was dozing off in the living room.
