Chapter 405

Dexter hastily grabbed Angela's wrist. The once arrogant, self-important man who'd never cared for anyone his entire life was now showing rare humility. "Alright, alright. You're the boss, okay?"

At the moment, he was a man with a touch of arrogance, a hint of resignation, and an awkward charm.

Angela's heartbeat showed no signs of slowing down, and a hint of joy crept out from the bottom of her heart.

Dexter looked stunned, a hint of hurt crossing his gaze. He had no choice but to step back resignedly, but his gaze never left her as he watched every flicker of emotion in her expression.
