Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 169 After she recovered and settled all the disputes, if Samuel were to wait for her, she wanted to... She only hoped for a simple, loving and mutually respectful relationship with her other half.

They would get married, have children, and grow old together.

"Yes, of course." It took Samuel a long tto say those words.

He had no idea how much courage he had to muster up to reply. Josie that.

He would meet a better woman.

He only hoped... Josie would live a better life in the future.

He would be waiting for her if she ever wanted to return to him.

The sky was getting dark. Josie fell asleep.

Josie thought Samuel had given up...

She was pleased, but also a little sad.

Humans shouldn't be too selfish.

en if it meant being alone, she had to live on in her own pace.

Even In the middle of the night, she woke up startled. Josie looked at her phone and saw that it was two in the morning.

Henry didn't seem to be back.

Josie got up, walked to the living room, and poured herself a glass of water.

She glanced at Henry's bedroom. He was really not back yet.

Josie leaned on the dining table in silence for a long time. She was getting worried, so she decided to give Henry a call.

No one answered the phone.

Josie was still half-asleep. The glass in Josie's hand slipped and fell onto the ground.

She bent over to pick up the glass fragments. Her finger was accidentally cut and blood was dripping down.

Josie was flustered. She quickly stood up to deal with her wound.

After putting on a Band-Aid, Josie gave Henry another call, still worried.

Henry finally answered the phone in a soft voice. "Why are you still up? I was at the police station just now." "Ashley's still missing?" Josie was inexplicably flustered.

"Yeah. We didn't find her. Go to bed early. Don't stay up late, okay?" Henry was worried that Josie would overthink things. "Then... Do you have to keep on waiting for an update?" Josie had a bad feeling.

"No, the police have officially filed the case. I'm going hnow. When there's news, the police will inform me. Henry comforted Josie. "Go to sleep first. Don't wait for me." Chapter 169 Josie let out a sigh of relief.

It would be better if Henry chfirst.

She had a feeling that something would happen.

The last tshe was so uneasy was the year of her parent's car accident.

Sitting on the sofa, Josie couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Her train of thought was extraordinarily clear. What exactly is Ashley trying to do?" she mused.

If she had disappeared deliberately, the news would definitely go viral among the media the next day. Ashley seemed to be very good at guiding the entertainment trend.

Josie massaged between her eyebrows. She was not worried that Ashley was playing tricks, but that Ashley might have gotten into real trouble...

If something really happened to Ashley after their conflicts online, Josie would for sure be the 'sinner.

Josie sighed and leaned back on the sofa. She decided to just wait until Henry was back home..

"One can never underestimate Ashley Long, huh?" Josie scoffed in her heart.

Ashley could always stir up Josie's feelings easily, making the latter go somewhat out of control.

When Henry returned home, Josie was still sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Didn't I tell you to sleep early?" Henry looked a little tired when he sat down next to Josie.

"Still missing?" Josie asked softly.

"Don't think too much. No matter what happens to her, it has nothing to do with you. Henry knew that Josie was worried. about public opinion. “I have asked someone to suppress the news, and I also gave Thomas a warning." *Suppressing the news means I'm guilty. It doesn't matter. I don't care." She had done nothing wrong, so there was no reason for her to be guilty of anything.

Nonetheless, it seemed pretty scary to have the entire Inteof people hating you.

"Go to bed. It's so late. Henry got up and led Josie into the bedroom.

"Henry, you suddenly posted those on Twitter and disobeyed Spike. Will he take any action behind our backs?" Josie asked nervously.

Henry's eyes suddenly fell on Josie's fingers and he cforward nervously. "What's wrong with your hand?" "I broke a glass and hurt my finger." Josie hid his hands behind her.

"Don't think too much. Spike doesn't dare to do anything tonow." Henry nodded and turned around to enter the room Josie breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind Henry.

Henry leaned against the door and stood weakly for a long time.

Back then, he liked to hug Josie whenever he was feeling tired....

Chapter 169 Whenever Josie was asleep, he would pull her into his arms.

Now, he couldn't reach out to her because it seemed like Josie was always a distance away from him.

Back then... Josie loved him and she only had him in her heart, but now...

This was all his fault.

The relationship between him and Josie becthe way it was today because he had realized too late how self- righteous he had been before.

He sincerely hoped that everything in Josie's life could go smoothly in the future.

He also hoped that she would recover from her sickness and be healthy again.

He... seemed to be unable to protect her for the rest of her life.

The next morning.

Josie had not slept well. When she woke up, Henry was already gone.

Henry left a note for her. Leaving notes was what she would always do back in those days.

She needed to catch the bus and the subway, so she would make breakfast and leave in a hurry. She would then leave a note either on the dining table or the refrigerator, reminding Henry to eat his breakfast This time, it was Henry who left the note. He said there had been an update on Ashley's case, so he left for the police station. He also reminded Josie to have a good breakfast before heading to work.

Buzz! Josie's phone had been ringing ever since 7:30a.m.

She glanced at her phone. It was Madelyn...

"Jo, where are you?" Madelyn asked nervously.

"At home. What's wrong?" asked Josie while eating the ravioli left by Henry,

"Something happened..." Madelyn lowered her voice. “Look at the news. Something bad had Ashley. Ashley's fans are now gathering in front of Clusia Media 's fans nedton Group. Don't chere. I've already applied for leave on your behalf and Yuri has approved." "What happened to Ashley? What do you mean?" Josie frowned.

"Ashley was found in the cellar of an orphanage. When she was found, she was in shock and seriously dehydrated. I heard that... the doctors could not revive her. Even if she did survive, she would be in a comm.....

Madelyn was trying not to trigger Josie's emotions.

Josie's hand that was holding the phone stiffened for a long time. "Ashley Long... loves her own life like no other. Why would she go down! that road? Was itwho has always been judgmental? Was Ashley really suffering from depression? Besides... Did she intend to make Henry feel guilty all his life for picking the cellar of the old orphanage?" Question after question began to appear in Josie's mind Josie's eyes turned red as she hung up the phone with trembling fingers.

Josie raised her hand to cover her eyes and proceeded to check her phone..

11:14 Sat, 11 May Chapter 169 Henry, Samuel, and Yuri all called her..

88% "Hello?" It was Yuri who called again. “Josie, the company will deal with Ashley's matter. You just lay low for now.

You can cto work again after all this is over." "I..." Josie's voice was trembling. "I didn't expect this to happen..."

"It has nothing to do with you. She did all that wants to herself. Besides, no one oppđrest and hitttoo even this opportunity to take a vacation. Don't worry about the company. We're here to back you up. Don't be afraid." Yuri had called for Samuel's sake. Samuel was afraid that Josie wouldn't pick up his call.

Ding dong! The doorbell rang outside the door.

Josie looked at the door nervously and suddenly felt a little scared.

"Jo, it's me." It was not until she heard the familiar It was Samuel.

oice that Josie ran over with red, teary eyes.

Samuel was worried when Josie didn't answer his phone call, so he cto her.
