Josie smiled faintly. “There will be.”

Laura looked ahead. “From your phone call, it sounded like you’ve made up with Dexter?”

That was indeed a difficult question to answer. After thinking for a moment, Josie responded, “No. We are only together because of the child.”

Laura gave her a gentle smile and asked, “Do you want me to tell Mom and Dad that I ran into you? You can’t keep hiding like this forever.”

Unconsciously, Josie tightened her grip on her phone. Hearing how Laura referred to Mark and Claudia, Josie felt that Laura sounded more familiar and affectionate than she ever had when addressing the couple. It made her feel even more like a stranger.

“No need. I’ll let things take their course.”

Laura pursed her lips, choosing not to say more.

During the banquet, she stepped out to take a call. Josie chatted with Alice, Jade, and the others for a while. Then she asked, “Where is Angel? Didn’t she come this time?”

Jade’s expression subtly changed when she heard that name. Alice gave a bitter smile. “She has already resigned.”
