To Henry’s surprise, Dexter remained unfazed, making no further attempts to coax her. However, Henry discreetly kicked Dexter beneath the table to nudge him into action.

In response, Dexter stood up, his expression a mix of helplessness and impatience. He reached down and grabbed Josie’s drooping hand, pulling her up. “If you’re not in the mood to eat, don’t force yourself.”

Dexter firmly grasped her arm and led her away.

Henry responded with an affectionate smile, giving his permission, “It’s alright. Just go with Dex.”

Julie stood nearby, witnessing the scene with conflicting emotions. She interjected, “But it’s a rare.opportunity for you to be here…”

Julie was pleasantly surprised by the gesture and quickly shook her head, “No, it wouldn’t be appropriate.”

Henry didn’t press the matter further but instead grinned and looked at her, “I’m glad you know what’s appropriate and what’s not.”
