NovelEnglishChapter 240 Feeling that Ethan was standing a little too close, Josephine avoided his gaze and took the handkerchief from him to wipe her mouth.
When she stole a glance at him, she noticed that he was placing sclothes by the bed and tidying up the nightstand without even looking at her.
Her face flushed slightly.
It seemed she had read too much into it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAround 7:00 pm, Ethan received a call and left the manor. Before leaving, he specifically reminded her not to skip dinner.
As a 23-year-old adult, Josephine couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed- being treated like a child who needed constant reminders to eat properly.
"Okay, okay, I won't skip my meal." After reassuring him multiple times, she finally put his worries to rest, and Ethan left.
Once he was gone, she immediately called William.
"Ms. Dunn, perfect timing. I was just about to call you the asset notarization is complete, so we can proceed with the divorce anytime." Without hesitation, Josephine said, "Let's do it tomorrow. Now, I want you to-no, I should handle it. I'll contact Zayn myself." If William talked to Zayn about the divorce, it would most likely end with him getting yelled at.
She wasn't going to avoid this anymore-she just wanted to get it over with. So, bracing herself, she called Zayn directly.
"Babe, you're the only person in the world I'd wake up for," Zayn's drowsy voice cthrough the moment the call connected.
It was obvious he had just woken up, his voice thick with exhaustion.
Josephine didn't waver and got straight to the point. "Zayn, the asset notarization is done. I'll be back in Crestwood tomorrow. Let's finalize the divorce." "Tch, and here I was wondering why you suddenly reached out to me. I should've known. How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not getting a divorce-" "Do you want the mother of your child to be called a mistress for the rest of her life, Zayn?" Josephine cut him off coldly.
Silence fell on the other end of the line.

Forbes Group's losses are temporary, but if the child is born into a broken family, the damage lasts a lifetime. Can you, as the father, really live with that?" After a long pause, Zayn finally spoke, his voice noticeably deeper and more alert. "Nadine told you?" "Who else? Joe?" Josephine sneered just before hearing Zayn curse under his breath.
She signed. Zayn, stop being so stubborn What's done is done-you need to face it. Is it really worth sacrificing me, Nadine, your unborn son, and even your own happiness just for the sake of sstocks?" When he didn't respond, she pressed on.
"Don't worry, Zayn. As long as you cooperate, we can finalize this quietly and keep it under wraps for now. That should give you enough tto sort out Forbes Group's issues." Zayn took a deep breath. "Givea few days. Lethandle things here, and I'll cto Sunvale. We can talk it through in person."
Josephine shut him down without hesitation. "Not happening. Unless absolutely necessary, I won't be seeing you again. I'll see you in court." "Josephine-" "Don't call my name. If you must, addressproperly-Ms. Dunn," she cut him off coldly, leaving no room for negotiation.
"And just so you know," she added, "you're entirely at fault in this marriage. I I m ge. I have all the evidence of Ο your affair and illegitimate child. Even if you don't show up, the court will still rule in favor of the divorce." Zayn was silent for a long tbefore finally speaking again, her voice lower and more measured. "That's not my child." Josephine froze momentarily, then let out a soft, incredulous chuckle.
