    Chapter 253 Didn’t You Say You’re Hungry?


    Josie found herself enveloped in his arms, her head resting against his impably chiseled jawline.


    His warm breath encircled her, offeringfort in this foreign ce.


    Dexter’s embrace radiated a sense of authority, as if silently assuring her he would be her protector.


    She need not worry about anything.


    The pantry was stocked with an array of food. Josie nibbled on her lip as she contemted her options.


    “How about Bolognese meatballs?” As she was tiptoeing to fetch something from the shelves, she


    proposed while setting a can of Bolognese sauce on the pristine white marble countertop.


    Dexter grabbed a few more ingredients, ran them under the water, and mischievously tapped her


    bosom. “Alright, you can go now. I’ll be finished soon.”


    Uh, this guy…


    Josie red at him, her cheeks flushed with annoyance and abashment.


    He winked and teased. “Wait for me.”


    Amused by his cheeky response, Josie muttered, “Rascal!”


    She left the kitchen and noticed the papers


    “Mhm.”


    the table. She asked, “Mind if I take a peek?”


    It was just an ordinary resume, with Wyatt’s ID photo attached. The Russell family certainly had good


    genes; they managed to look good even in the typically awkward ID photos. Josie ced it back on the


    table as there wasn’t much informative content in the resume.


    Then she turned around and saw Dexter cuttin at ease as if he belonged there.

    Actually, Dexter had always been skilled in cooking. Although it was a rare urrence, he had cooked


    for her multiple times in the past.

    But now, back at Russell family estate… If his family or servants discovered that the young master was


    cooking for her, would they hold it against her?


    Josie’s eyes flickered with conflicted emotions, and she approached him, skillfully cracking an egg into


    a bowl.


    Dexter nced at her and yfully fed her a taste of the bolognese sauce, asking. “Want to lend a


    hand?”


    Josie enjoyed the sweet and savory taste. She casually digressed, “What about Wyatt… Has he ever


    seen me before?”


    Dexter arched an eyebrow and fed her another spoonful, replying, “Perhaps not. Our family is quite


    traditional. He had minimal interaction with the outside world before graduating college.”


    It dawned on Josie that Wyatt had been sheltered in an ivory tower, utterly oblivious to the outside


    world.


    She couldn’t fathom how the Russell family could be so strict and rigid with their sons. Unable to


    contain her impression, she blurted out, “Gosh. How backward and primitive the thinking!”


    “Primitive?” Dexter smirked, lightly tapping her delicate nose. “You’re so innocent.”


    Tracing his finger along her lips, he paused for a moment.


    There was a stain of Bolognese sauce on her lip, its vibrant red color inviting him to taste it, and her


    lips… Josie was unaware of the intense and desperate flicker in the man’s eyes. She was distracted by


    the pot of Bolognese sauce left on the countertop. Quietly, she reached out her hand, attempting to


    sneak a…


    But, caught in the act! Josie’s wrist was swiftly seized against her back while Dexter’s lips descended


    upon


    hers.


    It wasn’t a fiery and passionate kiss. But a teasing, fleeting, and tender peck that made Josie burst into


    laughter as she tried to evade his yful advances, “Hey! I’m hungry!”


    Unbeknownst to Josie, her innocent remark about hunger triggered a chain reaction she wasn’t


    unprepared for.


    In her mind, it was an explicit statement on her empty stomach, not about sexual intimacy. But in an


    instant, Josie found herself caught in a passionate exchange of kisses as she couldn’t resist the


    temptation. With a dominating, heart-stopping deep kiss, Dexter explored every nook and cranny of her


    mouth, their tongues entwined in a tight embrace.


    Josie was swept away by the intensity of his breath, enveloping her with a powerful presence.


    As Dexter gently sucked the remnants of pasta sauce from around her lips, he couldn’t help but agree


    that it had a delightful blend of sweetness and savory vors.


    A chuckle escaped him, causing the vibrations in his chest to reverberate through Josie’s body, leaving


    her trembling in his arms.


    A sense of impending chaos overwhelmed Josie as she realized things were spiraling beyond her


    control. It was evident that Dexter had no intentions of holding back. Without hesitation, he hoisted her


    up by the waist and gently settled her onto the sofa outside.


    The midday sun zed above; it was lunchtime.


    Dexter’s audacious behavior caught Josie off guard. She never anticipated such audacity in this


    setting…


    Although she wanted to decline, there was an intense longing in his eyes. Dexter teased, “Didn’t you


    say you were hungry?”
