Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 462

"Phoebe, he confessed." Dexter frowned, glancing at Colin before attempting to whisk me away. "This guy is seriously dangerous."

"Sis... let's get out of here." Hannah grabbed my wrist, trying to lead me away.

Dexter wanted to take me away, too.

I used to think he didn't care, that my presence mattered less to him than the secrets he guarded.

But now... I think I understand why he never asked me to stay.

He didn't want me to go, yet at the same time, he hoped I would.

He was, in essence, torn.

Why should he be soaking wet while trying to keep me dry? "What's the point of me standing under an umbrella if you're soaked? We agreed to walk together."
