Chapter 568 The Wedding âMany say Iâm cold-blooded for ignoring your pursuit all these years, but they donât know that you never liked me. (3)
Arnold stood face to face with Summer and remained silent.
Just then, a server knocked on the door. âItâs about time, Ms. Olsen.â
Summer smirked. âI have no other intentions. I just want to remind you not to forget about the hatred because of others.
As Summer turned around, Arnold grasped her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He buried his head in her neck and whispered. âOf course, I wonât forget it. Sum, I havenât forgotten that weâre partners too.â
Summer didnât break away from Arnold but embraced him. âGood to know. Iâm only left with you now.â
Josie had kept Laura in Mason Garden to recover ever since Laura was discharged from the hospital, and Laura had rarely headed out.
She had received the invitation to Arnold and Summerâs wedding and was not allowed to reject it. The Olsen family intended for Laura to attend the wedding to cover up the previous scandals.
âLook. Being in a rich family is all about putting on shows.â Laura hummed indifferently as she curled up on a recliner, basking in the autumn sun.
Josie knew there was nothing she could do about it. She picked a scarf from her wardrobe and put it around Lauraâs neck to hide the ugly bruises. âSince itâs just for show, all you need to do is to show up.
I reckon the Olsens wonât give you a hard time.â
Laura made no comments as Josie put the scarf around her neck.
âThanks for taking care of me these days. I have to leave after today.â
Josie frowned. âWhere else can you go? You canât go back to the Olsens.â
âI know.â Laura smiled. âDo you remember Dr. Morgan, the psychologist you introduced to me? Heâs a kind man and helped me find a place to stay. Itâs convenient for him to come and treat me too.â
Josie understood that, given Lauraâs situation, she needed the intervention of a psychologist.
âCan this Dr. Morgan be trusted? Be careful not to get scammed.â
âYouâre the one who introduced him to me. Why are you worried?â
Only then did Josie remember that Dr. Morgan was introduced to her by Matthew, so there shouldnât be any problem.
âIf I continue staying here, someoneâs gonna detest me, Lauraâs casual remark reached the ears of Dexter, who was coming downstairs. He was dressed in a white long-sleeve blouse with half of his watch revealed at his wrist.
He lifted his eyebrows and said, âSince when did you learn to be ungrateful, Laura?â
Laura laughed Josir trotted to Dexter and asked, âWhat time are you leaving?â

Dexter held her hand. âLetâs go together.â
Josie was surprised. âI think I better stay back.â
Dexter caressed the ring on Josieâs finger. âYouâre my wife. If you donât attend the wedding with me, others might think my wife doesnât care for me.â
Josieâs cheeks blushed as Dexter teased her. âLauraâs here.â She muttered in embarrassment.
Laura sensibly averted her gaze. âI didnât hear anything.
Dexter remained smiling and insisted, âLetâs go together. Thereâll be plenty of occasions like this in the future where Iâll need my wife to accompany me.â
Josie was in a quandary. âBut Claudia said she didnât want to see me again.â Even though it had been a while, Josie still felt depressed when she thought about Claudiaâs words.
Dexter bent down slightly and pinched Josieâs cheek. âYouâre not there today to meet her but to tell everyone youâre my only wife.â
