Chapter 625 Keep You Safe Dexter smiled mischievously and put his phone away. He leaned over Josieâs shoulder and took a bite of her French toast. âDo you remember what you said to me last night?â he asked.
Josie was worried when Dexter brought up her past mistakes. She shook her head at first but then nodded. when she saw the strange expression on his face.
Dexter smirked and said, âItâs okay. As long as I remember it, itâs fine.â
Josieâs heart fluttered when she heard his response. Her curiosity was piqued, and she probed, âWhat did I say?â
âYou saidâ¦â The words lingered in the air for several seconds; his eyes lit up with a playful glint as he observed her expressions. âYou said I was the most good-looking man youâve seen.â
Josie rolled her eyes at his silly comment..
Dexter placed the last piece of toast in her mouth and stood up. âI donât have anything planned this afternoon. Letâs go for a walk.â
Dexter rarely had time for himself, thanks to his busy work schedule..
Josie wore a long beige trench coat, and Dexter held her hand tightly as they walked out of the villa from the back door.
After a short walk, they arrived at a bustling street lined with seafood restaurants, souvenir shops, and street artists. Artists were setting up their easels and offering to draw portraits of tourists for a hefty price.
Dexter and Josie were a striking couple, and their presence drew the attention of everyone in the area.
Thankfully, no one seemed to recognize them.
The inns in the area were all charming, with flowers blooming in window boxes.
Josie gripped Dexterâs hand tightly. This was her favorite part of Wavery.
Josie slowed her pace and stopped at a stall selling handmade items. Dexter looked down at the items and asked, âYou like this?â
She nodded at him. âYes, I want to try it out.â
We shall try it then.
The owner offered them a small stool to sit on and invited them to try making the items themselves.
They were given beads, chains, and a few shells. Josic carefully selected a few beads and asked Dexter to pass her the chain. She then began to put the beads together.
The beads were very tiny, so it required good eyesight and a lot of concentration to thread them onto the chain. Josie kept making mistakes, which frustrated Dexter. âYouâre such a dummy,â he scolded her playfully, patting her head.
They switched places, and Dexter could thread the beads onto the chain without any problems. âThis is kind of fun, he muttered with a hint of a smile.
Dexter measured Josieâs wrist against the bracelet he had made for her. The bracelet was filled with shells shapes and sizes, each one sparkling in the sunlight. As Josie moved, the shells made a soothing tinkling sound.
Josie was thrilled with the bracelet Dexter had made for her. âItâs beautiful,â she said, awe-struck at the object on her wrist. âItâs better than any name-brand bracelet.â
Dexterâs lips curled into a smile.
His handiwork had even garnered respect from the owner, with the owner heaping praises upon Dexterâs work.
Josie had a sudden thought. âIâm already wearing a rosary bracelet,â she said. âI donât think I should wear this one with it.â
The manâs forehead furrowed, but Josie had an idea. âYou can keep it to keep you safe,â she said.
âYou need it more than I do,â Josie added. âI just need something prettyâ She didnât wait for his response. before removing the rosary bracelet from her wrist and putting it on his. âThis was given to me by Claudia. She got it from Sousturham. Iâm passing it on to you now to keep you safe.â
He wanted to decline her gift but couldnât refuse her sincere gesture.
He then asked the owner, âHow much does this cost?â
