Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 416

Dexter's face turned even darker, and with a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "Marriage can be ended, you know."

"I'm not leaving," Colin shot back at Dexter.

"Caleb!" Dexter looked like he was about to throw a punch.

With an innocent look, Colin hid behind me. "Phoebe, he's so scary. Just now, downstairs, he looked like he wanted to kill me."

I frowned, sending a warning glance towards Dexter.

Dexter looked like he was about to lose it. "Kill him? It was pitch black downstairs, how would I even know where he was? Don't listen to his nonsense, Caleb, are you out of your mind?"

Normally cool Dexter always lost his composure around the sly Colin.

Colin, still hiding behind me, started whining, "He grabbed my injured arm, it hurt so much, it even bled."

Colin deliberately showed the wound on his arm, and seeing the look of sympathy on my face, he leaned contentedly on my shoulder.

Finn couldn't bear to watch. "Let's go, leave him here to fend for himself. He's too much."

Bran had been zoning out the whole time, and after coming back to reality, he glanced at Colin and walked away quietly.

He seemed less lively than before.

"He's not telling a single truth," Dexter tried to convince me.

"Phoebe, you can't trust him. He and Melody might both be working for Damian. The Fitzgerald family is one of the backers of the genetic engineering project. He's a capitalist through and through…" Colin whispered his complaints to me.

Dexter clenched his fists, his gaze filled with the desire to end Colin.

"You two seem perfect for each other, just make it work," I said indifferently, pushing Colin away and turning to leave.

Colin, looking pitiful, clung to me. "Phoebe, it hurts so much."

Ahead, Stella was helping the injured Annora walk, while Melody, after being exposed, was clearly isolated, left to walk alone.

She was also injured, trailing behind by herself.
