Chapter 267

Josie was taken aback by his condescending tone. She felt her voice catch in her throat but forced herself to remain collected. “Are you going to tell me or not?” she asked.The wine arrived at the table. “Are you threatening me?” he asked, pursing his lips.Josie didn’t know how to reply. She was struggling to understand his behavior. At times, he was easygoing. But other times, he was cold and distant. She took a deep breath and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like telling me. Who knows? I might not even be interested to know anymore by the time you feel like telling me, Mr. Carter.”Her witty attitude made it hard for anyone to get mad at her.Arnold placed his glass on the table and leaned forward. “What happened to your neck?” he asked, his eyes narrowing.She wore an off-the-shoulder top that exposed her rosy, wind-chapped shoulders.“I went to battle.” Josie wasn’t interested in continuing this conversation.
