After Dexter brought out Paul, Arnold didn’t make a single move, seemingly in no hurry at all. It turned out he had been waiting there all along.

“I’m warning you. If you don’t drink this glass of wine now, even if you beg me in the future, I won’t let you have any,” Arnold said with a mischievous smile.

The trials and tribulations of the past few years had stripped him of his former flamboyance.

Josie had no choice but to grasp the wine glass and drain it in one gulp. The strong liquor burned her throat, yet she didn’t even blink. “Can I speak now?”
