Chapter 268 Taking a Stroll at Night She was still holding a grudge against him. Dexter chuckled and held her firmly.

“Let’s go home,” he said. Josie had not had a drop of alcohol, but Dexter had consumed his fair share. When they

were nearing their home, Dexter requested that the driver pull over the car. “Follow me for a short walk,” he

requested. Josie was wearing heels, but Dexter had brought an extra pair of sneakers in the car. He helped her into

her sneakers, and then they stepped out into the night. It was already eleven o’clock at night, and the moon was

shining brightly overhead. The moonlight was so bright that it shone on the road, revealing the layer of frost that

had formed on the pavement. The shadows of their locked hands were long and distorted. He felt the disconfort in

his chest lift with the wind. The sound of the cars and the busyness of his daily endeavors were replaced by the

sound of the wind in the trees. He felt calm and at peace. Many prominent households resided in this affluent

neighborhood. Sports cars frequently drove by, carrying young adults. One of them was smoking a cigarette, her

hair blowing in the wind. She shouted bravely to Dexter, “Hey, you look handsome!” She looked barely out of her

teens. “Stop your nonsense, the boy beside her said sternly as he pulled her back. Dexter’s lips curved into a smile,

but it was met with an annoyed glare from Josie. “Is she pretty?” His smile widened as he replied, “Not as pretty as

you.” Josie didn’t pry into Dexter’s troubles, but she could tell something was weighing on his mind. She suspected it

had something to do with Xanthe, but he refused to talk about it. She held his hands tightly and followed him.

“Dexter Russell, am I your wife?” He looked down at her and smiled. “Of course,” he replied. The corner of her lips

lifted into a warm smile. “That’s right,” she said. “At least on our marriage certificate, we’re officially married. So no

matter what’s going on, you can share it with me. I won’t tell anyone else.” Her smile was warm and genuine, and

her eyes shone in the streetlight. Dexter took a deep breath and held her hands tightly. “I have to help her,” he

said. xo.com fast update Josie understood what Dexter meant, and she wasn’t against his idea. “I

understand,” she said. They spotted the same car they saw earlier on the side of the road with burst tires. The two

young adults appeared relaxed as they sat by the road, humming along to songs without any sense of urgency.

Taking a Stroll at Night The corner of Josie’s eyes crinkled as she observed their carefree behavior. The girl

recognized them. She patted the dust from her pants and took out a cigarette. She offered it to Dexter,

“Handsome, do you know how to fix a car?” she asked. Dexter didn’t take the cigarette. He folded his sleeves and

crouched down next xo.com fast updateto the car. Did your car break down?” he asked. The driver following

behind them stopped the car when he noticed his boss signaling him to get down from the car. “Give them a hand,”

he instructed. The driver brought out a box of tools from the trunk of the car. The girl’s eyes were filled with

admiration and awe. “Wow, handsome,” she said. “Do you have a girlfriend? Or a boyfriend?” The driver staggered

as he was startled by her comment. Josie understood what she meant and leaned in to whisper in Dexter’s ear.

“She’s implying that you wouldn’t be into girls if you’re so good-looking.” Dexter wasn’t satisfied with her

assumption. He lifted his hands, which were still holding Josie’s, and announced proudly, “She’s my wife.” A strange

thud hit Josie’s heart as he announced his relationship with Josie so openly in front of a stranger. It felt surprisingly

good to have their relationship acknowledged like this. The girl’s eyes instantly lost their glint. She pouted,

discontented, “Why are you showing off your relationship in front of me?” After a while, she lifted her eyes and

looked suspiciously at Dexter. “You look familiar.” A ringing silence surrounded the night. The girl racked her brain,

trying to figure out where she had seen him before. She had seen his face before but couldn’t quite place it. A

peaceful silence filled the air as the girl pondered. Suddenly a call from Josie’s phone disturbed the silence. It was

Matthew. Josie hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether to answer the call. “Answer it,” Dexter said in a calm

voice. Josie took a deep breath and answered the phone. “Hello, Matt,” she said. There was a moment of silence

before Matthew spoke, “Josie, I called to see if you’ve made a decision about Mr. Warren,” he said. “I’ve settled

everything here, and I’m ready to take him back to the hospital if that’s what you want.” Paul’s condition had been

improving steadily in Mason Garden. Josie and Dexter had discussed this possibility earlier and decided to give Paul

a little more time to recover at Mason Garden
