Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 307

Dexter's wound had been bandaged, and he walked over to where I stood, gazing into space. "Phoebe, let's go home."

Jolted back to reality, I shook my head. "You go back by yourself."

The murder case was getting more convoluted by the minute.

"Only I can protect you." Dexter frowned, gripping my wrist. "Don't be stubborn."

"I don't want to go back with you right now." I wrenched my hand away from his.
