Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 126

Samuel leaned against the wall, guarding Josie quietly.

Josie sat on the chair and said nothing.

But Samuel knew she was in pain.

The death of her parents left an indelible trauma on fifteen–year–old Josie.

To Josie, Henry used to mean everything to her. She was extremely dependent to the point of losing her self.

But Henry did not give Josie the protection she wanted.

In the ward, Henry leaned tiredly against the headboard, feeling powerless.

He lifted his hands and massaged the spot between his brows. His eyes hurt.

He thought that Josie was just being impulsive when she insisted on getting a divorce.

Since her return to the Gibson family at the age of fifteen, Josie was well protected. Without him and the Gibson family’s protection, she could barely manage anything.

She was riot independent enough, not brave enough, and too weak.

He thought Josie would return to beg him in less than three months and that she would give in.

But Josie had no intentions to return to him after so long.

He felt that Josie had closed herself off so tightly that no other man except him could get to her.

He was too self–righteous. He was too careless.

He had ignored Samuel’s love for Josie and overestimated his own position in Josie’s heart.

When Josie was fifteen, she had locked away her emotions. Was she really in love with him? Henry did not dare to think. He was afraid that Josie would one day realize that she did not love him after all.

Regardless of whether Josie loved him or not, he was destined to be involved with her in this lifetime. He would not let go.

He would most certainly not.
