Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 312

Chapter 312 Divorce Agreement

"I wonder whether my father will scold me for marrying you rashly if he finds out how unhappy I am

now."

Her words were like needles stabbing straight into Dexter's heart.

He hated such feelings and retorted harshly. "I've told you back then. Our relationship is purely contractual. I grant you status as Mrs. Russell and provide your father with medical treatment in exchange for your help at that time. It's a fair deal. Why are you angry? You can pretend to be pure and innocent before me but don't expect me to cherish you as if you are."

His every word wounded her heart.

You can pretend to be pure and innocent before me but don't expect me to cherish you as if you are.

Josie could not help but tremble as she looked at him. She had always known he was harsh with his words. It turned out he could be this vicious when angry and shattered all her hope with mere few words.

"Dexter!"

Dexter continued harshly, "Speak up if you have something to say. Don't waste my time."

His expression was cold as ice. There was not a hint of compassion.

Josie shut her eyes tightly and fought hard against the desire to faint.

I'm truly an idot. Why did I expect him to be merciful with me? Why did I think of waiting for him to come around? Now, it seems I was stupidly naïve.

His heart is hard as stone. I'm afraid he will never turn gentle for me, not even for appearances.

Josie could hardly breathe. "Dexter, I wish to request something. I wonder if you are willing to grant it." Dexter sneered, "What do you want?"

Josie felt words on the tip of her tongue, but she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, unable to say anything.

She never dared to unleash her full anger at him. She feared he might leave if she told him to. Moreover, she knew how insignificant she was to her, so she never dared to throw a tantrum. Dexter was still smiling. He mocked her inability to speak, "What is it that you can't even tell me?"

Josie looked into his eyes and answered, "A divorce agreement."

Did she cause all this fuss to ask for a divorce agreement?

Josie witnessed his smile stiffen.

Although she was afraid, she felt satisfied seeing him like this.

"Why?" His voice turned cold.

"You're asking me why?" Josie looked at him, opened the folder, and handed him a pen. "I thought you

wouldn't care about divorce."

Dexter did not accept the offered pen. He felt gloom shrouding his heart. "Is it because of Arnold?"

Josie forced him to take the pen. "Please sign the document so I can begin work, Mr. Russell."

She behaved as if they were already divorced and their relationship was that of an employer and employee.

In that instant, Dexter sensed they had returned to being strangers. After experiencing many things and their physical intimacy, he could never see her as only an employee. "Is it for Arnold?" Dexter raised his tone. Anger grew in his eyes.

"You think?" Josie slammed the folder shut and stood up against Dexter. "Right, I did it for Arnold. I'm in love with him and want to be with him. I want to marry him! Are you happy now?" Why does he keep refusing to believe that there's nothing between me and Arnold? Dexter keeps running away from his problems and can never empathize with my hurt.
