Chapter 643 Be My Lover Arnold narrowed his eyes at her it was a statement.
âAfter leaving Mason Garden yesterday, I assume he went to your place.â Josieâs expression became more animated. She supported her chin with her hand and continued, âOtherwise, you wouldnât bring me here.â
Arnold looked at her solemnly before suddenly chuckling. âWhy donât you assume this is all a plan to sabotage your relationship with your husband after seeing how lovey-dovey you guys were from the unexpected encounter at the hospital?â
Josieâs smile slowly disappeared.
âDonât you think Iâm capable of that?â
âWhat did Wyatt want? Let me guess.... he wants to pledge his allegiance to you, doesnât he?â Josie directed her question at him without giving a response.
Arnold retracted his playful gaze. âHe didnât say anything.â
Josie didnât believe him.
âHe dragged his sick body to my turf. Without even saying anything, I can guess what he wants from the position heâs in.â
There was a ring of truth in it.
âForget it. He is only going to be the sacrifice. Donât use him, Arnold,â Josie replied solemnly.
×× As sunlight fell onto her face through the shades of the trees, Arnoldâs heart skipped a beat. He caressed her face as he asked, âAre you pleading with me?â
Josie wanted to avoid him, but her face was locked in his hands.
âYou used to be the sacrifice, too. But look at you now youâre living a good life, arenât you?â
He seemed to be obsessed with her soft skin.
âWeâre different.â
âHow so?â he retorted instantly.
She tolerated his hold, unable to get away from him. âWyatt is a young man full of potential. All he needs is an opportunity not to be used by others.â

O J 1/9 âBut heâs obsessed right now. You canât change his mind.â
âArnold-
Î âAre you begging me to help him? If so, you should look more like it. Since Dexter is not in Wavery now, why donât you be my lover?â
The smile widened on his face, with genuine joy sparkling in his eyes.
However, the same smile was a terrifying sight to Josie. She suddenly lifted her hand and slapped his checks. âDo you know what you are talking about, Arnold?â
His lover? How could he even utter those words?
Still, the slap did nothing to bring Arnold back to his senses. Instead, he recalled the intimacy between Josie and Dexter in the ward and became even more incensed. With veins throbbing at the back of his hand, he was close to making a decision.
âBe my lover I can give you money and intel. All you need to do is spend time with met whenever Dexter is away. I donât think thatâs a lot to ask for.â Arnold pinched her cheeks until they turned red. At that moment, he had deserted morality and societal norms.
Josie flared up upon hearing that. A strong urge to slap him surged within her fury.
âLet me go! I want to get out of this car!â
âThereâs no hurry, Josie. Perhaps Dexter and Summer also have this agreement without your knowledge. Yet, you treat me as though Iâm the worst. Isnât it unfair?â Arnold raised his voice.
âNonsense! He wouldnât do that!â she yelled back. She could not tolerate her marriage being tarnished by him in this manner and placed her hands in front of her to protect herself.
âStop the car! Right now!â she bellowed at the driver, who didnât know what to do..
He observed Arnoldâs expression quietly. Eventually, the latter seemed to have returned to his senses as he slowly let go of Josie.
The car stopped.
âArnold, I donât have the time to play sick games with you. Donât drag me down with you, even if youâre unhappy with Summer.
You disgust me!â she spat and took her bag before leaving.
