Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 41

This is Grandpa John’s home. Why can’t I be here?” Samuel raised his eyebrow.

After all, John favored Samuel.

“Breakfast is light today. Do you like it?” Josie didn’t even look at 1tenry. She clenched her fingers nervously, trying to initiate a conversation with Samuel.

It was a desperate attempt at dispelling the panic within her.

“I’m not picky about food.” Samuel took the plate of breakfast from the butler and smiled politely. “Thank you, Arthur

Arthur nodded amicably.

Henry didn’t say much on Arthur’s account, but his fiery gaze remained locked on Josie.

Josie felt the burning pain in her neck, and she couldn’t help recalling the nightmare last night.

“Eat more. Finish this egg as well,” said Samuel. He, too, treated Josie like the apple of his eye.

Josie nodded. At present, she cherished her health more than anything.

Henry was sitting across from Josie, and his face darkened. He thought, “Whenever I told Josie to eat more, she would refuse to do so. She wouldn’t even swallow another mouthful of oatmeal!”

Henry couldn’t believe that Josie would finish the eggs after Samuel coaxed her into doing so.

“Is the milk still hot?” Samuel ignored Henry, and his eyes remained locked on Josie.

Gritting his teeth, Henry threw away the fork in his hand and got up to leave.

Josie took a deep breath and looked at Samuel. “Why did you deliberately annoy him? Aren’t you two good friends?”

“Though they say bros before gals, my beloved is still far more important than him,” said Samuel, sarcastic as ever.

Josie couldn’t help chuckling. Samuel was an amazing person. He was ruthless but at the same time amusing, too,

Hearing Josie’s laughter, Henry stopped and looked back. He clenched his fingers more tightly.

After breakfast, Samuel walked with Josie to the cemetery. Henry had the illusion that he was not included by the two of them, so he left in the car in a huff.

Josie, come home with me tonight. It’s Grandpa John’s death anniversary today, so my grandpa must be in a bad mood,” said Samuel, seeking Josie’s consent.

“Okay.” Josie thought for a while and nodded.

Lewis had been in poor health these years, so Josie thought she should take time to visit him.

“By the way, do help me plead for mercy so that I could go home as soon as possible.” Samuel blinked at Josie.

Josie breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Samuel didn’t deliberately decide to be her neighbor. He was probably driven out of his home and had nowhere to go.

“The Turner family has so many hotels and properties. Why do you have to… live in a rental apartment?” Josie asked.

“Actually, not only did I cook my grandpa’s turtle, but I also refused to get married when my family forced me to do so. Hence, they froze all my property and kicked me out of the house, Samuel said miserably.

“It’s time for you to get married.” Josie smiled. “You should give Grandpa Lewis a grandchild soon.”

“Why are you like my mom?” Samuel frowned. “I’ve been like this since I was a child. No woman wants to marry me. How about you do me a favor and pretend to be my girlfriend to shut my grandpa up?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Josie suddenly stopped walking, and her palms were sweating,

“You can’t lie about this Love and marriage were both important events in life.

“Look at me. I’m so pathetic. You are my only female friend,” Samuel said resentfully.

Josie thought about it carefully and affirmed that Samuel truly did not have any other female friends.

Not long after graduating from college, Josie and Henry got married. Samuel had been studying abroad for three years and had just returned home some time ago. He indeed had no friends in Chanaea.

At the entrance of the cemetery, Henry interrupted their conversation coldly, “Are you two done talking?”

Samuel frowned and looked at Henry. The atmosphere between them was a grim one.

Josie walked past Henry directly, and they did not talk to each other.

Just stop, Henry. You’ve divorced Josie, and you said you don’t love her anymore. Why are you trying to interfere now?” said Samuel in a low voice, approaching Henry.

“As I said, anyone can approach her except for you, Henry replied and looked at Samuel coldly.

“Henry Gibson!” Samuel grabbed Henry’s collar.

The two of them were in a stalemate, and neither of them would

Samuel’s eyes darkened as he pushed Henry away, refusing to concern himself with the latter. “Josie is free to choose who to be with. It has nothing to do with you since the moment you decided to divorce her.”

Henry stood still, and his expression clouded over.

He shouldn’t have agreed to the divorce.

After leaving the cemetery, Samuel was still by Josie’s side.

Henry’s car passed by them without stopping.

Josie fixed her gaze ahead. She watched Henry leave and disappear from her sight.

“Samuel, I’m tired. I need to get some sleep. See you tonight.”

After returning to the rental apartment, Josie was exceptionally exhausted.

Samuel subconsciously caressed Josie’s hair. “Get some rest. I’m right across the street. Call me if you need anything

Josie glanced at Samuel’s house which was still under renovation and smiled helplessly. “You’re a clean freak, right? I’m sorry you had to live here.”

It cost Samuel a lot of money to refurbish his rental house.

“Your house is still not fully equipped with furniture. Why don’t you come to my house first?” Seeing how pitiful Samuel looked while he was standing outside the door, Josie didn’t have the heart to leave him out there.

Hearing this, Samuel immediately agreed, “Okay!”

At that moment, Josie felt like she had been tricked.

After entering the room, Josie stretched herself and told Samuel, “Make yourself at home. I’ll go get some sleep.

Samuel smiled as he watched Josie walk into the room while yawning. “She isn’t vigilant at all,” he thought.

Fortunately, Samuel was not a bad guy.

Leaning lazily on the couch, Samuel took out his mobile phone and sent a triumphant emoji to his family group on WhatsApp.

This was his first step toward victory.

Samuel took a selfie on Josie’s couch and sent it to the group chat proudly with a message saying. [The couch in Josie’s house is a little bit hard.]

Nina replied, (That’s amazing. That’s my brother.]

Leila then responded, [You can do it, Samuel. My brother is the only one who could Henry’s woman.]

Mandy typed, [Don’t get too cocky. What girls need is a sense of security. I’ll recommend you a love guide. You should read it.]

George said, [I would have had a grandchild now if my son didn’t speak.]

Tania then said. [Son. I have high hopes for you. Bring Jo home as quickly as possible.]

Samuel smiled and sent a message, [The revolution hasn’t succeeded yet. I need to work harder. I’ll take her home tonight. You all need to get ready. I’m counting on you!]

Everyone in the group chat was excited and replied, [Got it!]

Tania responded, [You’re amazing! I’ve gotten the betrothal gifts ready.]

Samuel was speechless.

His family was too worried about the progress of his lovelife.

After a long time, a voice message appeared in the group chat saying. “Hey, brat, don’t come home if you’re not bringing her with you!”

Lewis had bad eyesight, so he didn’t type, but the voice message he sent was powerful.

Samuel jumped in fright and almost threw the phone away.

“Roger that!” he replied.

Meanwhile, Josie was in the bedroom.

She was fast asleep.

“Josie, if something happens to Ashley, I want you to pay for it!”

“Josie, something happened to Ashley. You have to go to hell with her!”

“Ah!” Waking up from the nightmare, Josie screamed and sat up quickly.

She had just had a nightmare. In her nightmare, Henry wanted her to die.

Curling up her legs, she burst into tears.

Last night, Henry did frighten her out of her wits.

The sound of grinding came from the kitchen.

For a moment, Josie forgot Samuel was at her house, and she got out of bed in a panic.

“I don’t have a space to put the blender at my place, so I’ll put it here first. I’ve made you some fruit juice.” Samuel came of the kitchen and put a glass of juice on the table.

Josie was momentarily stunned, too flustered to know how she should react.

Samuel walked up to Josie and arched an eyebrow, saying domineeringly, “Finish

Subconsciously. Josie took a sip of the fruit juice.

It tasted surprisingly good.

Her eyes reddened. She didn’t know why she felt like crying.

this.”

It was probably because ever since her parents and grandpa passed away, no one had ever treated her this well.

“Don’t cry…” As masculine and authoritative Samuel was, he panicked for a moment when he saw the woman’s tears.
