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 were common. 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 into laughter 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 place. Our child was only three years old then. We argued
so fiercely that it felt like the house was about to collapse.” 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn 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 collapsed
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 become 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 glances. 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.

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 to come by in the modern era.
The elderly man held Josie’s hand and looked at her with a solemn expression. “Young
lady, 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 playing in her mind, with various characters making
their appearances.

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.
His complexion was worse than the last 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 her composure and pulled up a seemingly relaxed
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, his large hand
