Chapter 342 Don’t Venture into It

Josie felt a wave of nervousness wash over her as his eyes bore into her. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I woke up and didn’t see you. I thought you had left, so I came looking for you.”

Freshly awakened, dressed in a nightgown, and with a hoarse voice, Josie emitted an innocent aura that effortlessly pacified one’s guard.

Dexter grabbed her around the waist and leaned in for a kiss, but Josie evaded, as she still felt a lingering fear. “I don’t want you to kiss me.”

The excessive sweet talk felt overwhelming, and Josie couldn’t tell if this deliberate coquettishness was a way to mask her own uneasiness.

Smitten by her coquettishness, Dexter let go of his stern demeanor and said, “Hmm, I’ll join you in bed.”

Josie rarely indulged in coquettishness, but when she did, Dexter couldn’t resist, just as she couldn’t escape when Dexter was upset.
