Juliette didn’t notice his unusual behavior, continuing to chat about trivial matters. However, Dexter’s phone lit up, and he immediately lowered his head to look at it.

However, it wasn’t Josie. It was a push notification for insignificant news.

Suddenly, a wave of defeat surged in his heart.

Juliette waved her hand. “Dexter, are you listening?”

Dexter’s voice turned slightly solemn. “It’s about time. I’ll have the driver take you home.”

“I brought my driver along. He’s waiting downstairs, but I’m still waiting for a friend. What’s the matter? Do you find me bothersome and want me to leave?”
