hapter 258 Getting a Bit Too Involved
Josie was taken aback and touched by the magnitude of trust placed upon her. With a shake of her
head, she replied, “Grandpa, I’m honored that you think so highly of me.”
Henry responded with a chuckle, refraining from boasting about his role in raising Dexter or prolonging
the discussion.
With the information gleaned from Henry, Josie now had a deeper understanding of Xanthe’s
background.
She searched the Quorn family in Wavery on her phone and was taken aback by what she found.
Despite the decline of this century-old family, they still wielded significant influence in Wavery. It made
sense why the Russell family was wary of Xanthe’s maternal family. Could this be the reason behind
Dexter’s recent compromise?
Josie sat curled up on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the clock ticking towards eleven o’clock. Dexter had
yet to return, leaving her in a state of uncertainty.
After contemplating for some time, she dialed Arnold’s number. After half a minute of ringing, he
answered in a breathless and irritated tone. “What’s up?”
Josie’s brow furrowed as she questioned him, “What are you up to?”
It seemed like Arnold was in the company of a woman. Josie overheard him asking the woman to leave
as he moved to a quieter corner. With amusement and irritation, he quipped, “I’m a lonely bachelor.
What else am I supposed to do on New Year’s Eve? Josic, why do you always ruin my good times?”
Being an adult, Josie instantly understood his meaning. Lowering her voice, Josie couldn’t help but feel
a tinge of guilt, “Well, then… I’ll call you once you’re done?”
“Just get outta my hair!”
Josie chuckled sheepishly. “I just wanted to know why you called me today.”
There was a brief pause on the other end as if he had already figured something out, and he responde
already run into her, haven’t you?” nonchalantly. “Well, it doesn’t matter now. You
Unable to refute his keen insight, Josie admired his perceptiveness. “Why don’t you tell me then?”
“I’m always the one who gets the inside scoop whenever there’s any action happening among the
influential families or people.”
“So, do you know why Xanthe came back?” Josie inquired.
Arnold didn’t answer her question but warned, “Josie, it seems like you’re getting a little too involved
now.”
Arnold’s reminder jolted Josie awake, causing her to sputter, “She… she gave me an ultimatum today.
I’m just curious and thinking of finding out more about her since we’re bound to run into each other
again.
after this.”
“You’re overthinking it. She couldn’t care less about Dexter or who he ends up with,” Arnold said, his
voice laced with playful teasing. “you should marry me instead. My mother is kind and decent.”
Getting a Bit Too Involved
“F*ck off!” Josie couldn’t help but curse.
Arnold chuckled lightly, diverting the conversation. “So, have you guys had a family dinner yet?”
“Hmm. Not really,” Josie replied.
Silence followed, creating a slightly strange atmosphere over the phone.
Before ending the call, Arnold said, “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you’re just an outsider. But if
you run into any problem, you can always count on me for help.”
Clutching the phone, Josie wrestled with Arnold’s hidden meaning. Lost in thought, she was suddenly
interrupted by the sound of a car outside. Derter is back!
Dexter lingered in the car, unhurried to go into the house. Meanwhile, Josie was thrilled to see him
return. She dashed towards his car, gasping for breath, extending her hand, and…
‘Knock! Knock! Knock!”
Then, the car window glided down slowly. Dexter looked fatigued, and there was a hint of numbness in
his gaze as he saw her.
Yet, Josie’s gentle and breathy voice instinctively eased his tension. “Why did you come out? It’s
freezing out here.”
Like a flickering flame in the wintry night, her voice warmed his frigid soul. “Hey, is everything alright?”
Dexter smirked and opened the car door. “What could possibly go wrong? Want to hop in?”
Since he had no intention of getting out of the car, he invited Josie to join him inside. The heater was
cranked up, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere within the vehicle.
The driver promptly stepped out, granting them their privacy.
