Chapter 254 Her Tearful Eyes
Josie couldn’t believe his audacity…
She never expected Dexter to be so audacious and shameless. With no choice, she reluctantly allowed him to have
his way. And that was her second blunder. By the time they finally untangled, dusk was upon
them.
Exhausted, Josie let him assist in cleaning up and getting dressed. Finally, she nestled into his arms, feeling drowsy
and no longer concerned about her hunger, “I want some water.”
Then, a glass of cool water was brought to her lips in no time, quenching her dry throat and providing much-needed
relief.
She heard the spirited man ask in a low voice, “Are you still hungry?”
In her groggy state, Josie weakly declined, “No, let me rest for a while, okay?”
“Alright, we’ll head home after you’ve had some rest.” Dexter chuckled, satisfied with her response. In a better
mood, he carried her back to bed. Both of them were weary from the day’s events, so they simply tidied up and

The room temperature was comfortable, but Josie, feeling a bit warm, kicked off the blanket. Dexter frowned. After
a while, she began to feel cold and instinctively snuggled closer to the source of warmth, wrapping her arms
around him.
Eventually, Josie drifted into a deep slumber.
As Dexter observed her series of actions, his furrowed brows finally relaxed. He tenderly studied her rosy cheeks
and long lashes in the soft glow of the bedside lamp. The more he looked, the stronger the fluttering in his heart
became. He glanced at the rings adorning their fingers and felt a subtle buzz in his
chest.
He felt a sense of belonging and security.

After sending them back to their place, he leaned against the car and lit a cigarette, gazing at the stars. It was the
first time in his life that he felt a sense of disorientation.
He had always considered himself rational with clear goals, but now he felt lost… Dexter’s grandfather had always
steered him towards his future path but never once asked if there was anything he truly wanted for himself.
The sight of the ever-changing city filled him with a growing weariness. It was a night unlike any other when he
found himself grappling with uncertainty and questioning the very path he had chosen to tread.
Not far away, a girl stood at a telephone booth, making a call. She was in tears, trying to speak loudly to overpower
her sobs. Every word she uttered resonated in his ears.
Through her words, Dexter learned of her father’s illness and the family’s financial struggles. Her predicament
mirrored the mundane challenges of everyday life, similar to the struggles that weighed on every individual,
seemingly insurmountable at times.
Her tear-stained face and the fallen receiver on the ground revealed the depth of her sorrow. She made a valiant
effort to compose herself, attempting to pick up the receiver but struggling to rise from her crouched position.

just a few comforting words. The sight of her anguish stirred a profound concern within him as if he feared she
might suffocate and fade away in the very next breath.
Witnessing her anguish made him realize the insignificance of his own momentary confusion.
Drawing closer to her, he suddenly halted in his tracks. It struck him that she was actually an employee at the
Russell Group, making this encounter outside their usual workplace quite unexpected.
