Samuel’s face fell as he reached out to grab Henry by the collar. “Have you been lying to me all this time?”

“What else? If I don’t do something, my grandfather will agree with Grandpa Lewis and marry Josie to you.” Henry sneered and pushed Samuel away.

Samuel was dumbfounded. He stood there for a long time, unable to return to his senses.

Henry was the one behind the accident and conspiracy all the time.

This man is so cruel…” Samuel thought to himself.

However, Samuel also knew that Henry dared to tell him about it so recklessly because the latter was sure that Samuel wouldn’t dare do anything about it.

After all. Henry had leverage against him.

nses even after Henry left.

Samuel didn’t come to his senses

“How horrible of him. Three years ago, everyone was his pawn. Me, Charles, Josie, and even Grandpa John. We were all his pawns. Samuel thought.

Jo. Upon entering the living room, Samuel ran over in a panic. He asked, “Did he hurt you?”

Josie sat in the corner and shook her head at Samuel.

“It’s okay. Henry is just a madman. Don’t be afraid.” Samuel pulled Josie into his arms, and his gaze darkened a little.

Samuel knew Henry was right that he was nothing after leaving the Turner family.

“Sorry for implicating you. Henry must’ve misunderstood something. We’ll still… keep our distance from now on.” Josie’s voice trembled violently. She was frightened that Henry would do something terrible.

The Turner family shouldn’t be affected because of her.

“Do you think I’m afraid of Henry?” Samuel frowned.

“It’s not about that. You don’t need more unnecessary conflict…” Josie took a long time to stand up. Her waist hurt so much, and her legs seemed to not belong to her anymore.

There was no need for others to have a conflict with Henry because of her.

“That’s up to me to decide. It has nothing to do with you.” Seeing Josie’s livid expression, Samuel reached out to pick her up and carried her back to the bed

Josie looked at Samuel nervously. Even if she was dim, she could guess that Samuel was interested in her.

But three years ago, Samuel lost control in his embarrassment and yelled at her. He told her not to marry Henry and that she was not worthy of Henry.

He even said she was being despicable.

“Samuel, I don’t know what made you misunderstand. I think we are friends, right?” Josie tentatively asked. If they were friends, there would be no need for Samuel to go against Henry.

After all, Henry was indeed capable of threatening others.

“Josie, you are no fool.” Samuel left the room angrily with a gloomy face.

Josie was silent for a long time. “If only I were, she thought.

Samuel didn’t keep in touch with her when he was abroad for three years. He wasn’t interested in her back then “Did he suddenly show up and take care of me because he had come to like me?” she wondered.

Josie rubbed her eyebrows and couldn’t understand.

She had already been married and was seriously ill. Living alone would be more comfortable.

In fact, after divorcing Henry, she didn’t think about finding another man or remarrying. She was only showing bravado while facing Henry

The door was pushed open again, and Samuel walked in with hot water.

Josie was stunned for a long time, She thought Samuel had left in anger.

“Drink it” Samuel put the glass in Josie’s hand awkwardly,

Josie held the glass, sighed, and asked rationally. “Is the Turner family going bankrupt?”

“Why are you cursing me? Samuel raised his hand and touched Josie’s forehead. “She seems all right, he thought.

“Are you coveting the property of the Gibson family just like Charles?” Josie didn’t mince words. They were all adults, so she figured she would be direct.

“How dare you compare Charles with me!” Samuel looked mad. It seemed that he had been greatly insulted.

“I don’t even want the Turner family’s property. Why would I cover the Gibson family’s property? Do 1 look stupid?” he added.

Josie looked at Samuel quietly. If he had moved more exaggeratedly, he would’ve jumped

As the fear of being overwhelmed by Henry dissipated a little, Josie wanted to laugh.

“Why did you do all this?” she asked. Not only did Samuel check on her and bring her breakfast, but he also moved into the house opposite hers

“Do you want to know?” Samuel narrowed his eyes and cornered Josie on the bed. Tve been coveting you for many years.”

Josie’s breathing hitched for a moment, and she almost couldn’t hold the glass in her hand firmly

“Frightened?” Samuel looked at Josie quietly. They were very close to each other, but Samuel saw the distant look in Josie’s

eyes.

Looking at each other, Josie laughed, but her face was still pale. “Samuel, are you punishing me in Henry’s stead? Or did Henry mess with you, so you’re going to protest by approaching his ex–wife?”

Of course, Josie wouldn’t believe that Samuel had coveted her for many years.

They hadn’t seen each other for three years, and she had never had any contact with him. They also disliked each other during college. “How could it be possible? she wondered.

After a long silence, Josie was shocked by her thoughts. “You’re not… Don’t you like Ashley?”

Samuel was so angry that he almost had heart failure. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “Are you silly? Why would I even have eyes for a woman as pretentious as Ashley!”

Samuel didn’t seem to be lying, so Josie was confused.

“Samuel, you and I are both adults. You can just say what you want, and we can discuss it. It’s too childish to take relationships as a game Josie even thought Samuel and Henry had agreed to toy with her together.

13:09 Wed, 8 May 0.

However, she had already agreed to the divorce, so there was no need to play games.

Samuel sat by the bed and looked at Josie, who was vigilant. He felt a little distressed

“She must’ve been hurt so deeply by Henry that she would protect herself like this,” he figured.

“Are you serious about the discussion?” Samuel took some medicine while talking and applied it to the bruises on Josie’s Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

neck.

Josie subconsciously dodged and resisted. “Thank you, I can-”

Samuel didn’t give Josie a chance to dodge at all. He cornered her in front of him and lowered his voice. “Didn’t you say you had something to discuss?”

“You. What do you want?” Josie’s breathing hitched, and she was suddenly afraid that Samuel was also approaching her for the sake of his own interests.

“Even if I was mentally prepared she thought.

“I want you. You are all I want. Will you be willing to offer yourself up?” Samuel’s eyes were firm. He wanted Josie to see his determination.

“Tim not bored enough to play any games with you. I know it’s hard for you to get out of your shell after a divorce. So I won’t force you. I only want you to believe me. I’m more suitable for you than Henry.”

Samuel forcibly applied the medicine to Josie while she was numb before tucking her in bed and asking her to sleep for

while.

Samuel and Henry were both young men who grew up in riches, so they were domineering.

However, it manifested differently for them.

Henry’s dominance stemmed from his own wants and needs. No one could disobey him,

But Samuel was different.

So far, Josie couldn’t read him.

Samuel knew Josie wouldn’t believe him, so he didn’t intend to explain too much.

He figured she would eventually understand with time.

“Samuel…” Seeing that Samuel was about to leave, Josie was suddenly seized by fear.

She figured that even if Samuel came to lie to her, they could at least make use of each other for a short time.

She was scared.

Ever since Hayden and Kathy died, she was more afraid of loneliness than anyone else.

The reason why she greedily attached to Henry and his warmth was that she couldn’t be alone.

During those days after the divorce, she curled up in the blanket every night, feeling scared, lonely, and suffocated.

“It’s okay, Close the door for me. However, Josie still didn’t ask him to stay

It would mean nothing even if she asked Samuel to stay,

She refused to use him, for it would make her no different from Henry.

She didn’t deserve to take advantage of Samuel.

Besides, Josie didn’t want to drag Samuel into the darkness that enveloped her.

Henry was right. Things between him and her were familial matters.

She shouldn’t involve innocent people.

She just needed to find a good job and make money to see a doctor. As long as she lived a stable life, Henry could do nothing

to her.

She just wanted to live.

“The workers will come to install the air conditioner later. You can sleep for a while. I won’t leave. I’ll stay here with you.”

However, Samuel seemed to see through her disguise at a glance and could always get straight to the point.
