Chapter 445 He Got Married Because It Was Her

When they returned to the Mason Garden, Josie’s face was a mask of shock and confusion.

Her eyes were wide and unblinking; the color all drained from her face.

Dexter noticed her distress and put down his newspaper. “What’s wrong?” he asked,

reaching out to touch her forehead.

Josie forced a smile and lifted her phone. “I just got a notification that the daughter of the

CEO of Laxir Corporation was caught taking drugs,” she answered.

Dexter’s face was thundercloud, but he quickly regained his composure. “Wavery is a city

that has a zero-tolerance policy for drug use,” he said. “She deserves to be punished.”

Josie stared at Dexter, her eyes full of doubt. “Is it simply a coincidence that the daughter

of the CEO of Laxir Corporation was caught taking drugs?”

Dexter’s face turned to stone as Josie’s words sank in. “It’s not me,” he said, his voice

calm without a hint of uneasiness.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was involved in the drug bust, even though she had

no evidence. Hence, she could only rely on his expressions to give away the answer to her

doubts.

Josie lowered her head in shame. I’m so sorry for suspecting you,” she said. “I know you

would never do anything like that.”

“Dexter,” Josie wrapped her arms around Dexter’s waist and held him close. “I just don’t

know how to repay you,” she said. “You’ve been too good to me.”

Although he had broken her heart before, Josie’s heart thawed through spending time with

him. He had his guard up most of the time, but she knew he loved her.

Dexter stroked Josie’s hair lovingly, his touch like a warm blanket. “Isn’t it good like this?”

he asked. “I’ve never expected you to repay me for anything.”

Josie’s eyes started to well up in tears as she cautiously whispered, “Are you nice to me

because I’m Josie? Or is it because I look like Leanne?”

As soon as these words left her mouth, Dexter’s muscles went rigid, and his eyes

narrowed like daggers.

“Who told you that?”

Josie felt her eyes sting with a sense of overwhelming despair as his reaction was evident

to his true thoughts. “No one needed to tell me anything. Mark told me I looked like

someone

he knew, but it couldn’t be his past lover as he had a stable marriage.”

“It would be rare to have three people looking identical in your social circle. Therefore, he

must be referring to the same person. Leanne is Liana Olsen, the Olsen family’s daughter,

right?”

Josie spoke slowly. Dexter’s face turned grimmer at every passing second.

“So? You think that I got married to you because of Leanne?” he asked, his voice cold and

his words demanding through his clenched jaws.

“Isn’t it the truth?” Josie couldn’t shake off her doubts. “The main reason you treated me

so well was because of Liana, right?”

Dexter was stunned by her straightforwardness, unable to utter a single word in response.

Josie took his silence as an affirmation of her suspicions, and she started to walk away

when he pulled her back tightly. The edges of his face hardened, stinging with fresh fury

as he led her outdoors and into the car.

“What are you doing?” Josie wanted to run away, but he pinned her down onto the car

seat with his strong arms, pulling the seat belt over her.

Dexter’s arms rested on the car door when the corner of his lips lifted into a smirk. “You

can never be satisfied,” he scoffed.

He took hold of the steering wheel, leaving Mason Garden.

Josie wouldn’t let him have his way, especially when her mind was a whirlwind of

emotions. “You couldn’t deny that you’ve only been nice to me because you saw me as a

substitute for Liana, her words were like daggers to the heart, evidence of the weight of

emotions she had carried in her heart.

Remembering that he had lost his temper towards her because of Leanne in the past,

anything she said couldn’t have strayed far from the truth.

The edges of his features were tensed but showed no hint of what was going through his

mind. He drove with one hand on the wheel and sent a message on his phone.

“Where on Earth are you taking me?”
