Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 45

Henry stared at Josie intensely and could not say a word for a long time. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Josie’s heart was thumping wildly, and she could not think clearly. She looked at Henry quietly.

“He’s no good Henry was extremely calm and his voice was deep.

“Henry, you’re too much” Samuel’s expression darkened.

Then who do you think is good enough, Harry?” Josie asked in a low voice. “You think the person I like is no good. You also deny the person I think is good enough. So who is good enough?”

Henty lowered his eyes and clenched his fist. “We just got divorced, and you can’t wait to get married to someone else already?”

“Can’t wait to get married?” Josie repeated in her mind and looked at Henry, then said, “Before the divorce, Harry, weren’t you also impatient and got caught up in scandals with Ashley? Both of them were extremely calm, but the atmosphere felt suffocating

“In short, you’re just jealous of Ashley. I already told you it was for publicity, so why can’t you be more understanding Henry smacked the table and stood up while staring at Josie. “What do you want me to do, so you’ll be contented? Should I destroy Ashley’s career, make her hide somewhere else, or just have her completely banned? Would you like that?”

Josie sat still numbly and wondered, “What do you mean about how else can I be contented?”

Seeing how Henry was being so aggressive, Josie felt suffocated.

“Yes, I’ll be satisfied with that. Can you do it?” Josie raised her head and looked at Henry quietly

“You might as well tell her to die!” Henry got angrier.

Josie lowered her head and stood up slowly. “Right… Didn’t she already try to die? Even after jumping into the Harrington River, she’s still living. But I almost died instead. Josie’s voice was low and trembling. She pulled open her collar, pointed at the bruises on her neck, and said word by word. “Henry, do you really think I have forgiven you for what you did to me just because I’m talking to you politely?”

Samuel suddenly stood up and touched Josie’s neck with trembling fingers. His eyes were filled with rage. “Henry, you dared to hurt Josie?”

Henry felt guilty and lowered his voice. “I just lost control for a moment!”

“What the fuck do you mean that you lost control for a moment? Do you want her to die?” Samuel stepped forward and shoved Henry into the wall.

“Samuel, this is between Josie and me. You’d better not piss me off again.” Henry pushed Samuel away. He did not want to fight today.

“Henry Samuel obviously did not want to let Henry go.

“Samuel, I’m sorry. Sorry to have let you/see this. Can you let us chat alone?” Josie did not want Samuel to get involved. After all, he was still friends with Henry.

This was something between her and Henry, and she wanted to solve it herself.

“Jo!” Samuel was worried. Henry actually dared to lay a hand on Josie.

“Samuel, let me handle it myself/Josie pleaded in a low voice.

Samuel took a deep breath. It, was the first time Josie had begged him.

‘T’ll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything. Samuel patted Josie’s head, pulled her into his arms, and carefully looked at the wound on Josie’s neck. “I’ll go get medicine.”

Josie’s heart constricted and she nodded.

She thought that Samuel was playing along with her.

“Jo.” After Samuel left. Henry reached out and grabbed Josie’s wrist. “I was impulsive that night. I-

“You’re just worried about Ashley. If something happens to her, I will have to go down with her. Am I right?” Josie interrupted, lifting her head to look at Henry and trying to break free from his grip.

However, Henry refused to let go. “Can you stop it? What do you have against Ashley? She is simple– minded and has no bad

intentions

“Because I’m a bad girl, and I’m not simple–minded enough, so I just hate her. Does that sound good to you?” Josie used her strength and tried to push Henry away. She could not calm herself down.

Henry always had the ability to make her lose control. It always made her feel like a crazy person for a moment.

“Josie!” Henry pulled Josie into his arms and trapped her there forcefully. “How long are you going to make a scene?”

Josie raised her hand weakly and grabbed Henry’s collar, leaning her forehead on his shoulder.

Josie did not say a word for a long time.

In the

past, she

was greedy for Henry’s hugs. If he took the initiative to hold her, no matter how flustered she was, she would always fall silent instantly.

However, Josie only felt that it was now different.

Henry’s arms no longer reassured her but made her feel chilly.

“Henry, don’t interfere in my life anymore. No matter what path I choose and who I’m with, it’s my freedom to decide because we’re divorced.” Josie’s voice was hoarse and weak as she slowly loosened her hold on Henry’s shirt. “If you continue interfering in my life, I won’t tolerate it anymore.”

In the past three years, she had tolerated Henry endlessly. Josie’s endurance for Ashley was pushed to its limit during this period.

Josie only wanted a peaceful life without conflicts with anyone, but that was the end of her patience.

If either Ashley or Henry continued to interfere in her life, she would never tolerate it again.

“Are you threatening me?” Henry lowered his head to look at Josie, who was in his arms.

Even though her posture was meek and obedient, she kept saying things that made him angry.

Josie’s forehead was on Henry’s shoulder all this time, and she did not push him away. “Yes, I’m threatening you.”

Her words were weak but firm.

She was warning Henry. This is it. You can live a good life, and I’ll walk down the path I want.”

Josie still had to work hard to make money and save up for her treatment. Meanwhile, he and Ashley could have a happy family as soon as possible.

Everything should end here.

“Josie, I’ll say this for the last time. Remarry me: Henry obviously lost patience and lowered his voice to threaten her.

13:08 Wed, 8 May M

“I won’t remarry you. This is a decision I made myself, so I won’t regret it even if I die.” Josie chuckled and hugged Henry. Tve been married to you for three years, but I still failed to make you fall for me. Therefore, I should not make you fall in love with me. I have to cut my loss.”

Her time and life were limited, so why should she continue to waste them?

Henry’s eyes darkened, but Josie was still hugging him. Surprisingly, he craved this feeling.

“Don’t think about running away. I won’t leave you alone. Henry grabbed Josie’s chin and enunciated each word clearly. “I’ll say this again. You can choose against remarrying me, or you can choose to marry someone else, but that person must receive my approval first.”

Josie’s eyes were dull and full of despair. “Can’t you let me go?” They were already divorced, so why was Henry so insistent?

do you You are Grandpa’s granddaughter and the lady of the Gibson family. I received the Gibson family’s grace, so

think I will let you go?” Henry tightened his grip on Josie’s chin. “Even if everything in the Gibson family belongs to me, you can’t marry anyone at will, okay?”

Josie’s hand slowly slid down, and her eyes gradually went from being dull to being filled with fear.

Sure enough, Henry had not been pestering her because of feelings.

It was about interests.

He was taking precautions for the future.

He was afraid that her marriage to an ambitious person would become a danger to him.

Gibson Corporation was full of all kinds of people. There were too many people who sought entertainment or benefits,

“Josie, I might as well tell you…” Henry leaned into Josie’s ear and whispered, “This is your fate, so be a good girl, and don’t make me teach you how to be obedient.”

Josie looked at Henry in horror and slowly stepped back.

She thought, “Is he finally taking off his mask and showing his true colors?”

Sure enough, she had never known the real Henry.
