Chapter 138

Josie fled the Gibson residence in desperation.

Henry did not stop Josie because he expected her to return.

For the first time, Henry hoped Josie would not return.

If Josie made a deal with Samuel because of the Turner family, it could only mean that she had fallen in love with him.

Henry was lying on the couch, his heart pounding.

Reluctantly, he refused to acknowledge Josie’s feelings for Samuel.

Josie had always remained by his side.

He was completely perplexed and unsure how to express his feelings at the time.

Something that had always been close to him suddenly vanished.

Even if he trapped Josie beside him, he couldn’t compensate for the sense of separation between them.

“I’m just…” Josie couldn’t bring herself to say anything else. She simply did not want to be involved with Henry any longer.

Deep down, she didn’t believe Henry’s phony remarriage at all.
