Chapter 210 Hemorrhage She breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at Mason Garden, she took a hot bath first. Her mind was filled with scenes of Arnoldâs carefree boyishness. She couldnât help but think of someone. She shook her head. Certain people kept appearing. in her mind. She was really in a muddle.
It was still carly, and it wasnât twelve yet. Josie didnât have good vision at night. She casually grabbed a pair of Dexterâs daily use glasses from the bedroom before secretly slipping into the kitchen to make something.
Dexter had just messaged her to say he was about to reach home.
When Josie was in the process of making it, the noise of a car was heard outside. She rushed out of the kitchen, and the fatigued man was just entering the house. He was in a black trench coat and looked exhausted.
The man looked up and saw Josie wearing his glasses. The corners of his mouth curved, and a smile appeared on his indifferent face. He walked to her and took it off her face. âWhy are you wearing my glasses?â
âI took it since they were there.â Josie rubbed her eyes and asked, âHow is the employee?â
âA rock fell on him while he was supervising, and he had a hemorrhage. Heâs out of danger now.â
âA hemorrhage?â Josie was startled. How could he be okay if he had a hemorrhage?
âThe blood didnât gush out, did it?â Public opinion would be tough on such an accident on the construction site.
Dexter subconsciously patted her head. âDonât worry. Iâll deal with it.â
After that, he saw coffee powder on her hands. âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm making tiramisu. Itâs nice to have tiramisu on a day like this.â She looked up and smiled sweetly at him.
Dexter seemed to understand. He pulled her hand and walked to the kitchen. His smile deepened when he saw her progress. âLetâs do it together?â
âSure.â Josie was delighted.
He washed his hands and folded his sleeves to his elbow. He started dipping the ladyfingers into the coffee. Josie wanted to help, but he stopped her. âJust watch me.
Josie wanted to say she knew how to make tiramisu too.
But it was evident that Dexter was skillful. After spreading the mascarpone cream on the ladyfingers, he touched Josieâs face with his coffee-soaked fingers. âThereâs a coin in my pocket. Help me take it out.â
Josie wiped the cream off his face and stared at him. She knew what he wanted to do. âYouâre superstitious?â
âOccasionallyâ
It was lucky to find a penny in the tiramisu.
Josie did this annually with the Warren family. Josieâs mom usually only hid one coin in the tiramisu and made it obvious. When cutting the cake, her mom put it on Justinâs plate. Therefore, Justin always found the lucky penny every year.
Over time, Josie stopped looking forward to getting the coin.
They put it into the fridge and let it chill for a while.
However, Dexter didnât make it obvious. In the end, he found the penny while eating. At that moment. Dexter was both amused and annoyed. He didnât understand how he was so lucky.
Josie suppressed her laughter. To be honest, Dexterâs tiramisu wasnât as fancy as the pasta restaurantâs, but she had a big appetite and ate two servings.
After eating so much, she was distressed. âI want to go on a walk to aid my digestion.â
Dexter was putting the plates on the kitchen counter. He turned her down without looking up. cold. No way.â
âItâs too Josie did not utter a word.
Dexter raised his head when he felt her emotions. His wet hands touched her face again, and he suddenly approached her. âItâs not that you canât do anything to aid your digestion. Letâs do something else?â
Josie understood what he meant in a split second. Before she could run, the man forcefully trapped her in his arms and kissed her.
She was forced to accept it.
The two were intertwined as they gasped ruggedly.
