Chapter 781 An Apology
Josie was taken aback, and she thought about their era’s context. “Was it a blind date?”
“Yes. In that era, arranged marriages weremon. In the blink of an eye, several decades have
passed.” He sighed nostalgically and continued, “Looking back, there was actually no love between us
at the beginning. But it was quite enjoyable to live that way, with quarrels and fuss, negotiations and
compromises.”
Josie burst intoughter upon hearing that.
“I remember the fiercest argument I ever had with her was when I wanted to resign and go teach
voluntarily in another ce. Our child was only three years old then. We argued so fiercely that it felt
like the house was about to copse.” He was reminiscing, and a hint of pride could be heard in his
tone when he added, “Guess what! In the end, I won the argument.
The gentle elderly woman scoffed lightly. “What’s the point of winning an argument? You were only
there for two days.”
He expressed his dissatisfaction by saying, “I missed the child.”
In his youth, the elderly man was full of kindness and ambition. He thought his willpower would allow
him to stay in the mountains for a long time, but unexpectedly, he copsed after just two days. When,
people are alone, they don’t care about anything, and they’re willing to endure any hardship. However,
once they encounter warmth and get used to that warmth, they be incredibly vulnerable.
Josie couldn’t help but say, “You must’ve missed her too, right?”
Upon hearing that, the elderly man and elderly woman exchanged nces. Even at their age, they
could still feel a bit embarrassed.
“She has endured many hardships with me over the years,” he answered.
Every day, she did the housework, took care of him, and made a living. She had been wholeheartedly
devoted to that for many years.
That wasn’t just about what was written on paper. Instead, that perseverance was all it took. It also
required a bold and powerful love.
Everyone wanted to live a peaceful life with the ones they cared about. In the end, they would hold
each other’s hand tightly before death, promising that if there was a next life, they would still want to be
together.
Yet, that was something hard toe by in the modern era.
The elderly man held Josie’s hand and looked at her with a solemn expression. “Youngdy, did I hear
you. say that you’ve lost your marriage?”

-Josie was slightly dazed. “Yes.”
“Did he not treat you well?”
How should I put it? Since our marriage, Dexter has been very good to me, so good that I feel he is the
second man in this world, after Pop, to treat me this well. Suddenly, Josie couldn’t control her
trembling. She slowly bent over her knees, seeking a sense of belonging. It was as if a movie was
ying in her mind, with various characters making their appearances.
“I’m the one who owes him an apology,” Josie replied.
Two dayster, under Laura’s persuasion, Josie went to the studio to distract herself with some work.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the ward, she looked up and saw Larry.
She furrowed her brows, a flicker of surprise crossing her mind. Dexter’s ward is also here. If Mr.
Peeple is here, could it be that Dexter hasn’t been discharged yet?
Sure enough, as if arranged by fate, in the next second, Josie saw the man walking out of the ward.
Hisplexion was worse than thest time they met, but when he stood before her, even though his
edges had softened, his imposing presence was still there.
Josie didn’t know why she always felt fear in the face of his approach.
Just three steps away, Josie regained herposure and pulled up a seemingly rxed smile. “Hi, Mr.
Russell. What a coincidence.”
A pair of exquisite leather shoes came to a halt right before her eyes.
Originally, Dexter was just silently staring at her. Upon hearing those words, his expression became
even more gloomy. Suddenly, without warning, he moved closer, hisrge hand gripping her lower jaw
He sneered, “What are you afraid of?”
