Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 140 Henry frowned and looked up hesitantly at Josie. "Why?" "Her manager is not qualified. Don't worry. I won't target her. Seeing that Henry was thinking about it, Josie smiled bitterly, As long as Ashley was involved, Henry would definitely disappoint her.

In fact, Josie wasn't very hopeful.

"Zachary has been monitoring Ashley. If she stays with you, it will be easy to guess your purpose." Henry felt it was all too risky.

"Is that so? Aren't you planning to lure Zachary out?" asked Josie. She looked at Henry and added. “Or are you concerned about Ashley, afraid I may harm her if she follows me?" Henry felt a headache coming. It was obvious that Josie was targeting Ashley. For her to approach Henry for approval, she must already have a plan.

He was not worried about what Josie would do, but...

He already sensed that Ashley was indeed not as simple as she looked However, Josie was really stupid.

dup “Jo, is this the only requirement?" Henry looked up at Josie with a compromised look.

"You promised me. I hope you keep your word." Josie looked away.

"Okay..." Henry nodded.

Josie was stunned for a moment, as she didn't expect Henry to agree.

"Why do you think Zachary intends to hurt me? Is it because of the abduction? But he almost got killed to save me. I told you about it." Josie calmly sat down.

"Ashley gavea diary written by Zachary. There were photos of you inside it. He has been tailing you." Henry had always felt that Zachary was a dangerous man.

"Have you ever thought that he's trying to protect me?" Josie tried to convince Henry "Josie, did someone say something to you?" Henry frowned. Josic wouldn't cto such a conclusion for no reason.

"My instinct toldso. Zachary has been targetingfor the past ten years. Is there no opportunity for him to take action? I take the bus every day, and I'm always alone. For the past three years of marriage, you have never noticed or cared for me. Yet I'm still alive and have never been kidnapped by Zachary, I find this simply too unbelievable," Josie said faintly without elaborating further.

Henry trusted Ashley so much that it was useless for Josie to continue.

On the contrary, it would be detrimentalto Zachary if Henry becsuspicious.

"It's just that my people have been monitoring him closely. He wasn't able to execute his plans." Henry wouldn't believe that Zachary was kind enough to protect Josie.

In Henry's opinion, Zachary had always been coveting Josie.

Chapter 140 "What about Ashley? Do you really think she is so kind and innocent? Josie asked, even though she was reluctant to know the answer.

"She has depression. I just... I felt guilty. We stayed together when we were younger. I was adopted by my grandpa, leaving her behind, so....." Henry didn't know how to explain the importance of Ashley to him.

He had no feelings for Ashley, but he could not deny she was important to him.

If could be due to his obsession when he was younger, but now it was a nightmare.

By protecting Ashley, he wanted to remind himself of how he was abandoned at the orphanage.

No one loved him back then. So, it made him genuinely care for and treasure any form of kindness given to him. Because of this, he couldn't let go of Josie as well.

However, he was more adamant when it cto Josic. He knew it was love for Josie, while Ashley was just family.

"Henry, everyone has their own way to go. So does Ashley. This is her choice. She must be held responsible for everything she has done, regardless of right or wrong" Josie was referring to Ashley and Henry.

They were all adults. If they did something wrong, they would have to bear the consequences, Josie had already made up her mind on the way here. One thing she knew well was that she wouldn't love Henry as much as she used to.

He made a mistake. He left Josie for Ashley and almost choked her to death because of Ashley. This was the hard truth Her heart was dead. There was nothing that could be done to revive her love for him.

"Sign the remarriage contract. We will go and get the certificate in the afternoon. Please read the contract carefully and feel free to raise any questions." Henry also felt Josie's estrangement toward him. He was hurting, yet he pretended as if he wasn't affected.

He didn't know what he could get by forcing Josie to remarry him. Would it be possible for Josie to forgive him? Perhaps, Henry was holding on to his fantasy.

Josie kept quiet. Instead, she went to the kitchen and put the breakfast on the table.

Remarriage is just cooperation. I have a job, and you are not allowed to interfere." Josie glanced at Henry Henry nodded.

"I don't need a maid at home, but neither am I a free nanny. Josie placed the fork in front of Henry. He had never respected her in the previous marriage.

"I won't force you to cook as you are not talented in cooking. I can prepare the meals, but you will do the dishes and housework. You can consider hiring a housekeeper if you are reluctant. Josie knew that Henry was not accustomed to having outsiders in the house. Thus, she decided to set the rules first.

Henry looked up at Josie. In the past three years, he had mistreated Josie and owed her too much rii, Tu May Chapter 140 60%

"Since this marriage is a partnership.

I don't care how many women you have outside, but don't touch me." Josie clenched her fingers tightly She proclaimed. "I live in the guest room. You live in the master bedrooms. We should respect each other privacy. And most importantly, we must trust each other. If there are any misunderstandings or doubts, we must clarify them as soon as possible. We must not accumulate it." Josie thought. "In the past three years, if we had been truthful to each other, things would've been different today! Even if it was a cooperative relationship, the foundation should begin with trust.

"I promise you everything except sleeping in separate rooms." Henry frowned. After separating from Josie, he did not manage to sleep well for even a day.

"Henry, don't go too far. We're just pretending to be husband and wife again. The fact that agree to live here is already the biggest concession." Josie looked at Henry angrily. Looking at Josie's angry face, Henry inexplicably wanted to compromise.

But he... He didn't want to sleep separately.

"Okay... In the end, Henry compromised.

"Then it's a deal. Mr. Henry Gibson, please wash your dishes after breakfast." Josie only ate a little as she had no appetite.

Henry didn't dare to refuse. He was sitting in front of Josie while controlling his breath.

He was fearful that Josie would go back on her word and reconsider his suggestion to pretend to remarry.

Henry smiled faintly and looked at om the breakfast on the table. In the past, Josie would shower. him with love every morning, and he never did treasure her. Now, all that was left was his wishful thinking Her slightest love could only now be obtained by meticulous conspiracy and means.

That afternoon, Henry and Josie went to get their marriage certificates.

Henry didn't drive, and neither did Josie. They took the bus, subsequently the subway, and walked all the way there.

Josie glanced sideways at Henry. If it were in the past, she would've been excited and happy.

But now, she was more peaceful than anyone else.

She only regarded this marriage as cooperation.

"Sign here. The Santalum residence and Santalum Alley will be yours." Josie didn't read much and signed the contract.

This way, the Santalum residence and Santalum Alley could be returned to Samuel.
