Chapter 185 Public Appearance Together
Feeling overcome by resentment, Josie felt as though her soul had left her body upon seeing the sight of him. Why does he appear at this time?
Hence, she was forced to go back to the master bedroom. She scratched her head, suddenly understanding why Henry decided to stay the night at Mason Garden.
I can’t escape anymore.
“I’ll sleep on the couch.” With that, she took a blanket from the wardrobe. This should be enough for the night. It’s quite warm here.
Unexpectedly, she was pulled backward. The world spun around her before she crashed into the wall.
Her arms were tightly locked together, making her unable to move.
“What the hell are you doing?”
As their breaths entangled, he looked her straight in the eye and demanded, “Why did you cry just now?”
Josie’s heart skipped a beat. Different emotions meshed together in her eyes.
How did he see that? she wondered, confused.
It was at that moment Dexter realized how quickly she could switch expressions.
She suddenly snorted out laughing and winked at him flirtatiously. “Dexter, you aren’t assuming I’m jealous, are you?”
He merely gazed back at her deeply without giving any inclination to reply.
Bored by his reaction, she dropped the act and added indifferently, “You misread the situation. I wasn’t crying.”
He gazed at her intently to catch any hint of abnormality but discovered nothing.

Chapter 185 Public Appearance Together
Dexter suddenly recalled something and loosened her arms. He opened the wardrobe and looked at the huge womenswear collection all hand-picked and sent by the brands’ ambassadors.

Josie’s mind went blank upon hearing that.

“We are going to celebrate the success of acquiring Landon. Come with me you can see how Arnold reacts in the meantime.”
Dexter’s sharp gaze was on her the entire time he talked, trying to detect a hint of disappointment or anxiety. However, all he saw was shock, followed by a look of cool understanding.

Ever since Arnold went abroad, they had no contact whatsoever. Why would Dexter think we are hooking up with each other?
Josie was lost in her thoughts, which was not a good sign in front of Dexter.
Without any notice, he held her up easily. Her blank eyes suddenly came back in focus as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to regain her balance.
When she came to her senses, she instantly let him go.
“What are you doing?”
He smiled at her frigidly and let his breath out near her ears. “Arnold was so sweet to you. How does it feel to watch him fail?”
She glared at him furiously with an urge to bite him. Nevertheless, she dared not resist his forceful embrace as Henry was still there.
Knowing that Dexter had misunderstood the situation, she played along nonetheless.
“It’s excruciating!”
Dexter stopped walking when he reached the edge of the bed and suddenly dropped her onto the soft bed.
He lowered his gaze to see her. From his view, she looked alluring and innocent.
“Have you gone mad?” she questioned with wide eyes.
He closed in upon her like a predator and pinched her chin ferociously.
In a menacing tone, he said, “Well, that can’t be helped. Please be present for that event, Mrs. Russell, and I hope your acting will be as good as today.”
