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.

“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.

Jo, I’m going to spend the night at the Turner residence. You, too, should get some rest. Be good, Samuel advised Josie, telling her not to worry. He would do his best to resolve the situation.

Nothing matters more than your happiness. Samuel spoke up again when he noticed Josie was silent.
