Chapter 839 Dog
The atmosphere chilled for several long seconds.
udia broke the silence. “Come with me.”
The design of the Olsen residence’s structure was indeed ingenious, grand, and exquisite.
“When it was time for the renovation, I put forward quite a few suggestions.”
As Josie was touring around, she eximed in surprise, “You can design too?”
No wonder she took the initiative to take her for a tour.
udia nodded. “When I was young, I dabbled in everything but mastered none. This was something I
particrly enjoyed.”
Josie was secretly startled by those coincidences.
There was a coffee garden in the backyard, where coffee trees nketed the hills, hidden in the misty
rain, presenting a magnificent sight. Around the right time of the year, there would be dedicated coffee
bean pickers to harvest and process the beans to be the exclusive coffee served to guests at the
Olsen residence.
That kind of spending was not extravagant, but it was thoughtful and meticulous, exuding a rare
warmth.

“When we were young, there was a coffee garden in the backyard of our old house. We earned our first
pot of gold from those coffee beans. As we grew more sessful, he became reluctant to engage in
these low- profit activities. But out of nostalgia, he decided to move the coffee garden here.”
In the corridor, udia and Josie stood together, gazing into the distance.
Her voice carried a gentle warmth and a hint of fatigue as if she was telling a long, drawn-out story.
“You… and Mr. Olsen, your rtionship seems very deep. Has it always been this way over the years?”
Josie asked curiously.
At this point, udia’s smile softened, and she sighed. “People change, and in the end, love turns into
deep familial affection.”
Josie shook her head. “I don’t want that. Love is love, from beginning to end. If it’s going to turn into.
familial affection, I’d rather not have it.”
“You’re too naive.”
udia led her into an exhibition hall. The ce was airy and transparent, housing many valuable
items. However, Josie’s gaze fell on an old, yellowing painting.
The drawing depicted a cartoon character. The strokes were quite naive. It was clear that a child had
drawn it. Josie recognized it. “Is this… Dexter?”
udia sighed. “This was drawn by Leanne before she got lost. She did a great job, didn’t she? She’s
so talented. What a pity”
“May I take a look at it?”
udia handed her a pair of gloves.
Josie understood her own painting style very well. Due to the involvement of architecture, it inevitably
became a bit rigid. However, the painting was drawn with exceptionally soft strokes. Despite that, she
could still see a hint of simrity.
Her head was aching a bit.
It was as if she had traveled through time, witnessing the young girl from the past, engrossed in her
drawing.
Just then, a noise came from outside. At the end of the corridor, a Shiba Inu dashed in. Its eyes were
sunken, showing signs of age. It leaped into udia’s arms and then stared intently at Josie.
She jumped in surprise. “This is…”
Someone quickly rushed in from outside. “Mrs. Olsen, I apologize! Pepper probably caught your scent.
I couldn’t control it.”
udia squatted down and petted the dog. “That’s all right. How has Pepper been eating these past
few days?”
“It’s fine. It just looks a little lethargic.”
udia nodded, then turned to Josie. “When we were young, I was always away on business trips. I
was worried that Leanne would feel lonely, so I bought her a dog. She loves spicy food, so we named it
Pepper. Butter on, Leanne got lost. Mark is allergic to dog hair, so this dog has been living in the
backyard for over a decade.”
Josie listened, her gaze lowered to the dog.
Its eyes were sparkling like water, unable to move its gaze away from her.
Josie’s heart was racing. It was as if fate had reunited her with the dog.
