Chapter 7 Go Ahead and Complain to Him Then

• Dexter's hand, which was holding a chess piece, stopped midair for a second before he put it down and said, "Yes, Grandpa. That was indeed the case in the beginning. But I genuinely love her as who she is now."
• Henry smiled in satisfaction. "I'm glad you guys are truly in love with each other. Now that I have seen you marry the woman you love, I have no regrets in this life. Waste no more time so that I can have a great-grandchild soon."
• Henry was in his eighties, so the functions of his organs started deteriorating.
• Dexter's eyes fluttered as he hummed in response.
• The call that Josie received was from Jenny. The things she said were the same as yesterday. Josie brushed her off and went back to the ward.
• When it was lunchtime, Henry insisted on going for a walk, so he brought Dexter and Josie to a restaurant outside the hospital.
• After ordering a few of Henry's favorite dishes, Dexter passed the menu to Josie and said in his deep voice with a tinge of affection. "Pick a few dishes that you want."
• Josie took over the menu and pretended to order a few dishes casually.
• Soon, the dishes were served. Dexter put on a perfect act and helped Josie with the dishes from time to time.
• Josie 'returned the favor' by putting some fried eggplants she ordered into Dexter's plate. "Dex, try out your favorite dish."
• Dexter stared at Josie with warning flashing through his eyes.
• Henry, who was sitting across from them, was surprised. "Huh? Dexter has hated eggplants since he was young."
• Josie smiled, "Grandpa, you might not know about it yet – eggplants are my favorite vegetable, and Dex started liking it too after we got together."
• "I see." Henry beamed from ear to ear. "People say that couples will change their lifestyle after staying together for a long time. Back then, your grandmother and I were like this too. She loved desserts, and I didn't, but I gradually had a sweet tooth too after being together with her."
• Dexter suppressed his anger and swallowed the eggplants on his plate.
• Josie was guilty, but when she saw Dexter's aggrieved look, she gloated.
• After lunch, they left the restaurant and went back to the hospital. "Alright, I know you guys are busy. Get going. Jo, do come and revisit me when you're free." Henry uttered.
• Josie looked toward Dexter, who then said, "Alright, Grandpa. We'll leave first, then. I'll bring Jo to revisit you next time."
• Josie said goodbye to Henry with a smile. With that, Dexter held Josie's hand and left side by side. In fact, he was grasping Josie's hand so tight that the latter was moaning inwardly.
• "Ouch! Ouch! Mr. Russell, Grandpa is still watching us from behind!"
• "Go ahead and complain to him then." Dexter blurted coldly.
• Josie was rendered speechless. How would I dare to?
• Josie got into the passenger seat. Knowing that Henry was still watching them, Dexter helped Josie to fasten the seatbelt, but Josie was terrified by the gloomy aura he emanated.
• "I'm sorry, Mr. Russell. I didn't mean it. I mixed up the food that you like and the ones that you don't."
• "Did you really not do it on purpose?" Dexter stared at Josie.
• "Yeah." Josie answered firmly.
• In fact, she did it on purpose because Dexter made her wait two hours yesterday.
• Dexter naturally knew her intention. When he started the car engine, he uttered sulkily, "Do you know that your action would have caused Grandpa to suspect that we're in a sham marriage?"
