Chapter 468 Afraid of Her Getting Pregnant
However, Dexter had always been adept at concealing his secrets. Despite his honesty with her, she couldn’t be certain if he held affection for other women.
Upon hearing this, Dexter grinned and casually tightened the ointment lid. He asked calmly. “What exactly do you mean by “liking”?”
Josie pondered momentarily before blurting out, “Liking’ someone is when your heart races at the sight of your crush, and you want to give them the best of everything. Even before being in a relationship, you’ve lost count of how many times you’ve fallen in love.”
Unbeknownst to her, Dexter’s expression darkened. “You have quite an understanding.
Josie was taken aback. It suddenly dawned on her that she hadn’t used the word “liking’ in a long while.
“No…”
Dexter had no intention of discussing it with her. Perhaps in his eyes, they couldn’t broach such an innocent subject.
Instead, it was Dexter’s next move that provided Josie with the answer she was seeking. He pulled out a medicine bottle and poured two white pills into his palm, offering them to J “Take these.”
Josie was taken aback, staring at the pills in her hand. “What are these?”
Dexter remained silent.
Josie had an epiphany. Dexter had always been cautious in their relationship. Considering they hadn’t used protection earlier, it made sense for him to offer her the pills.
It dawned on Josie that this was a routine occurrence, nothing out of the ordinary. Perhaps she was even more reluctant to have children than Dexter. However, at that moment, she found herself frozen, gazing at Dexter with a perplexed expression. “Not taking them once won’t make me pregnant.”
Dexter held his hand steady, silently insisting Josie take the pills.
Josie nodded and swallowed the pills without water, flashing a mischievous smile. “You’re so scared of me getting pregnant with your kid, huh.”
Dexter’s hand holding the water glass froze in mid-air as he tried to decipher her thoughts from her expression. The words he wanted to say remained stuck in his throat.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that naïve, alright. Even if I accidentally get pregnant, I won’t use it against you. I still want to live my life freely,” Josie reassured him, lying in his embrace, seemingly unfazed.
Did she mean that she felt trapped and confined by my side?
Her implication stirred up frustration in Dexter. He had asked her to take the pills because he had been drinking and smoking a lot lately. It wasn’t the right time for a pregnancy. But she seemed to misunderstand his intentions and uttered words that wounded him.
At that moment, he completely disregarded the vulnerability he had glimpsed in her eyes just moments before. Yes, she appeared so carefree. How could she possibly care about the child they might have together?
Dexter forcefully placed the water glass on the side table, stormed out of the room, and slammed the door behind him. Unbeknownst to him, Josie’s face was already drenched in tears as the door closed.
In the Mason Garden household, this night should have been relatively pleasant for the young couple, according to the servants. However, when they awoke the next day, the atmosphere was completely different from what they had expected.
Dexter and Josie seemed to be giving each other the silent treatment.
As the sun barely peeked over the horizon, Josie was already dressed to the nines in her sharp business attire. She informed resentfully before storming off, I’m heading to work.”
Julie stood behind Dexter, completely dumbfounded, as she watched Josie’s figure vanish. She was about to utter something but abruptly stopped when she caught a glimpse of the expression on the man’s face.
The reality was Josie was boiling with rage. She had kept her frustrations bottled up all night long. When she woke up in the morning, it became painfully apparent that the man had no intention of apologizing.
Yeah, as if the mighty Dexter Russell would ever own up to his mistake and say sorry to anyone, right?
But there was no denying that he had seriously messed up. He had totally exploited her love for him and pressured her into taking those pills without giving a d”mn about how she felt or if she was even willing to do it.
