Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 39

Henry, too, was taken aback and frowned slightly. “Ashley?”

Obviously, he had no idea Ashley would be visiting the Gibson residence.

“Henry…” Ashley’s nose had turned bright red. She appeared to have been waiting a long time.

Nevertheless, Arthur, the Gibson residence’s butler, didn’t let her in.

“What happened? Henry inquired nervously, hearing Ashley’s choked voice and seeing her red eyes.

He subconsciously cast a glance back at Josic. Even at that point, he would be concerned about Josie’s feelings.

Meanwhile, Josie walked past them without saying anything

She reasoned that Henry must be distressed because Ashley was aggrieved.

“Could you please let me stay here, Josie?” Ashley pleaded cautiously, as if terrified, and clutched Henry’s arm tightly.

Henry subconsciously wanted to withdraw his arm for fear that Josie might misinterpret the situation.

Josie, on the other hand, ignored them and walked straight through the Gibson residence’s gate. “Arthur, close the gate.” Josie!” Henry’s face darkened as he wondered, “Why is she locking me outside too?”

Josie could hardly even speak because of how weak she was. Her grandfather’s death anniversary would be the following day. She didn’t want to argue with Henry at this time.

“Henry, I was stalked today, and Thomas reported it to the police. Maybe it’s that guy again. I was terrified. Please let me stay with you. Just one night. I wouldn’t have come if I hadn’t been forced to. Please, Henry?” Ashley burst into tears as soon as she spoke.

Henry rubbed his brows and couldn’t bring himself to ask Ashley to return to her home. “Arthur, please prepare a guest room for Ms. Long

When Arthur heard that, he looked at Ashley and hesitated. “But Ms. Yates…

Josie made it clear that she had no intention of keeping guests.

“Tll speak with Jo.” After saying that, Henry asked Ashley to follow Arthur to the guest room. He then went straight into Josie’s
