Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

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.

It would only make them colder to each other and drive them further apart.

Meanwhile, Josie chose to visit her rental apartment rather than Samuel. She didn’t know how to approach him.

Josie hid in the safe passage and dialed Samuel’s number.

When Samuel received the call, he answered the phone instantly. Obviously, Samuel had been waiting for Josie’s call.

“Is it true, Samuel, that Henry wants to demolish Santalum Alley and the Gibson residence?” Josie had to force herself to

calm down.

“Did he threaten you with it?” Samuel was a little nervous. He tried to reassure Josie, “Don’t worry. My grandfather stated that he would have someone negotiate with Henry. He’ll take care of it for you.”

“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.

Henry was n

nothing more than a liar. All he knew was threatening others, and he had no intention of changing his v

ways.

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.
