Chapter 1060
L clearly didn’t believe her exnation.
Two years had passed, and he hade to understand her to some extent.
“Have a piece of candy. Maybe the sweetness will momentarily help you forget your troubles,” L
suggested, as if coaxing a child.
Josie couldn’t help butugh. “I’m not a child…”
L was intensely watching Josie on the screen. Every frown and smile of hers was so captivating
in his eyes that he momentarily lost himself in a trance.
Josie noticed his unusual behavior and quickly found an excuse. “You must have work to attend to.
Let’s not chat now.”
She couldn’t reciprocate even the slightest bit of L’s enthusiasm. All she could do was assert her
stance with a firm attitude.
L was always aware of that.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up.
Josie tightly clutched her phone, peering out the window. It seemed as if the car outside had a grudge
against her, never once leaving. Josie drew the curtains, blocking out all lines of sight.
Lying in bed, Josie tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of Dexter…
Ah!
Josie, you’re truly beyond help.
That night, Josie stayed awake the entire time.
The following day.
Josie rose early from bed, drawing back the curtains. In her sight was the familiar car. Dexter, who was
in the car, had kept vigil here all night without sleep. Josie didn’t want to face him.
She had no choice but to pretend she hadn’t seen him.
Inside the room.
Grape turned over and couldn’t find her mother, growing somewhat anxious. With a sudden wail, she
burst into tears. “Mommy!”
Upon hearing the sound of crying, Josie pushed open the door in a hurry.
“Grape!”
The moment she saw Josie, Grape’s crying abruptly ceased. Through her tear-filled eyes, she looked
at her, then reached out her hand. “Hug.”
“Good morning, baby.”
Josie held Grape and nted a kiss on the little girl’s cheek.
Today was the second day of the Golden Key Awards, and Josie was still busy with work.
Consequently, she had no choice but to take Grape to daycare.
“Grape, you must listen to your teacher at kindergarten… You can’t behave like yesterday, leaving
without my permission… It worries me…”
Grape nodded understandingly. “I understand, Mommy.”
Josie was greatlyforted.
As she carried Grape and left, Dexter saw them both. He struggled to restrain the impulse to approach
them, his gaze firmly fixed on her, fearing she might disappear from his sight again.
He watched as Josie ced Grape in the child’s seat, then promptly drove off.
Dexter hurriedly followed.
He consistently maintained a certain distance from Josie’s car. Josie wasn’t oblivious to his presence.
She simply chose to ignore him…

Quickly, Josie drove the car to the front of the daycare center.
Before long, a teacher came out to greet them.
Due to the unexpected circumstances yesterday, Josie made a point to greet the teacher and
exchange a few pleasantries. Soon, Josie had to leave.
However, she had only taken two steps when she stopped.
Turning around, she looked in Dexter’s direction. Their eyes met, and even through the car window,
Dexter could still feel the distance in her gaze.
Without any hesitation, Josie turned around, not sparing a nce at Dexter, and left on her own ord.
Early in the morning, Larry received a very important phone call from back home.
After hearing the content, Larry’s face turnedpletely pale. “Are you telling the truth?”
It wasn’t clear what the other party had said.
The usuallyposed Larry had clearly lost hisposure. He quickly added, “No matter what, keep
things steady until I return to handle it.”
Then, he ended the call.
Larry assigned some tasks to his assistant and reserved a ticket for the earliest avable flight to his
home country.
