Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 259

"You should just worry about yourself." Henry smiled helplessly. "Looks like Spike and I protected you too well. You don't even know the dangers you have to face in the business community and society." "Protected me too well? Are you sure you were protecting me when I was abroad those few years? You obviously felt disgusted with me and asked someone to monitor me." Quinton was very unconvinced. "That's what you always thought about me?" Henry felt defeated and didn't want to explain further.

Like Josie, Quinton always misunderstood his intention.

It was true that he had not done well, and he never communicated with either of them properly.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Ordinary people would think that he was monitoring and oppressing Quinton. Anyone with a shred of common sense would think that Henry didn't love Josie.

Yet, that was what he wanted to achieve.

In Spike's eyes, the more Henry hated Quinton, the safer the both of them would be.

After all, awaiting the chance to act and take advantage would be a better solution for them to keep their safety.

As for Josie, the less he cared about Josie, the more Henry could have Spike and Hazel focus on him by putting on an act of taking everything from the Gibson family, which caused Josie to lose everything. This could make those two enemies look down on Josie so they wouldn't target her.

"Henry, what exactly are you thinking?" Quinton took a deep breath and didn't want to quarrel with Henry.

They didn't have to quarrel.

"Give up on everything and start over again? Do you feel that you are upset because you have all the Gibson family's property? But John owed the Taibbi family. He should have given it to you." Seeing that Henry didn't respond, Quinton frowned.

"Anything owed to the Taibbi family should be given to you. You just go ahead and take it. I'm not from the Taibbi family, so it has nothing to do with me." Henry resisted accepting that he had relationships with the Taibbi family.

He wanted to sever his ties with Spike for good.

"Henry..." Quinton frowned. "Do you really want to leave and start a business? Take me with you. Anything you don't want, I don't want it either."

It was not like Quinton was short of money.

"I didn't give those to you so that you can spend all of it to enjoy life. I want you to prove to yourself, everyone, and to Jessica that you are not a loser who only knows how to eat and drink." Henry's words sounded harsh, but what he said was right.

Quinton gritted his teeth and turned his gaze away. His eyes turned red with tears.

"Why did this bastard suddenly become so sensational?" Quinton thought.

"I had informed the police about Dad... I mean Spike's crime, but I didn't have much evidence in my hand. I've submitted what I had to the police. Don't worry. I'll go back and try once more when he trusts me again after a certain time." Quinton said in a muffled voice, still reluctant to admit defeat.

"You don't need to go back to Spike." Henry shook his head.

Quinton was not suitable to work undercover.

"Are you free tonight? Jessica can go home tonight. Her next scene and shooting will be the day after tomorrow, so can we take a break and have dinner together at home?" Quinton took the initiative to invite Henry.

That would mean that Quinton had accepted Henry as his brother.

"Well, okay." Henry agreed.

At Clusia Media Group, Josie's phone rang when she was reading the documents in her hand.

"Hello?" She answered the call.

"It's Henry." The call was from Henry.

Josie's fingers froze for a moment, and she cleared her throat. "Hi."

"I have something to tell you in advance..." Henry's voice was a little hoarse.

He learned to discuss with Josie in advance and to trust each other, but Josie had not been there to see his change.

"I'm listening." Josie took a deep breath.

"Thomas... I need him. He still has things to be done," Henry said directly.

"Do you want me to withdraw the case?" Josie didn't ask much.

Although she trusted Henry unconditionally now, she didn't love him anymore.

"Yes..." Henry's voice was trembling, and his hand holding the phone was also shaking.

"Why did Josie and I come to this point? Why had I done so many terrible things before? So terrible that no one could give me a second chance," Henry thought miserably.

He really lived in the darkness all the time. He never realized that Josie was his only light and motivation to go on.

Yet he also didn't know that Josie had already been hurt by everything he had done to her.

"Okay, I'll go to the police station soon." Josie agreed and didn't even ask Henry about his plan.

Henry was silent for a long time and asked again, "Jo, aren't you going to ask me about my plan?"

"You always have your own ideas, and you have to do what you need to do. It will be fine for me just to believe you."

Henry smiled, but a feeling of bitterness crept into his heart. He felt hurt.

Josie was distancing herself from him. Even her voice sounded so polite and distant.

"Okay, are you free tomorrow?" Josie looked at her schedule. "Let's meet at the Gibson residence tomorrow at noon. We can go back there and have dinner together. Since Arthur left, they never returned to the residence to have a meal together.

The Gibson residence was the memory they both shared.

It was also all the memories from their childhood era.

"Okay," Josie agreed.

"Okay. Aren't you going to take Samuel with you? I just wanted to see you, and I won't do anything to you... ..." Henry was unable to explain correctly, and he even felt panic.

He used to be so arrogant and indifferent, but now he had lost his confidence.

Josie had made him change. He regretted everything he had done and wanted to turn over a new leaf, but Josie had rejected him.

Josie stayed silent and finally replied after a while, "I'll discuss it with Samuel. You should know his temper."

Henry didn't speak for a long time. Only breathing sounds could be heard.

Josie moved her gaze and whispered, "Henry, please be safe. I hope you will meet a woman who really loves you and is willing to be with you all the time."

"I will wait for your answer." Henry seemed to be avoiding the topic and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Josie's words were undoubtedly the most impactful thing to cause Henry to have such a sudden reaction.

Even if Josie hated him, he would not be feeling too sad.

However, Josie didn't hate him anymore.

Josie talked to Henry way too calmly, and she said he trusted him in a very neutral tone.

She also sounded like she was showing off his new relationship with Samuel to Henry and that Samuel treated her well.

Josie, a coward, was also the one who had ideas in her doings.

Unlike Henry, who refused to withdraw from hurting himself like an idiot, she had always been a person who knew when to stop when she felt hurt.

Yet, Henry was wrong. He knew he was wrong.

He had no right to beg Josie to stay by his side again.

He just hoped that Josie could live a better life.

Maybe their fate to be together had ended in this lifetime.

If he could have another life, he would have tried his best to dote on Josie and take care of her well. He will love Josie a hundred times more than Samuel did.

It was a pity that there was no if.

Therefore, he was doomed to live a short life in this life.

Henry was destined to have this life. He had lost his vision of the future and the motivation to keep going and live.

As long as everything would be settled and Josie was happy, he was relieved.
