Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 219

“On the day we adopted Ashley, my dad was overjoyed. He even organized a dinner party and invited everyone over. He told me I have a sister from now on,” Zachary continued.

At that point, Zachary laughed sardonically. “Did you know that my dad was somewhat crazed ever since my mom passed away from labor complications? He loved her very much, so he never quite got out of his grief. He was a teacher, but he started believing in superstition. My dad thought that people had souls and that my mom would always be by our side.”

Henry became an attentive listener and allowed Zachary to continue talking.

“In truth, my dad lived a hard life alone. I didn’t understand back then and thought we were fine with just the two of us. I couldn’t accept another woman as my mother, so whenever someone tried to introduce a woman to him, I would try my best to tear them apart,” Zachary revealed.

Zachary used to be quite naughty and couldn’t bear seeing another woman by his father’s side.

“When I grew up and began having sexual urges, I realized that sometimes, men just can’t live without women.” Zachary lowered his head, feeling a wave of mixed emotions.

He then continued, “So I advised my dad… I told him to look for a new partner, that I’d been ignorant, and that

he should live a normal life.”

Zachary clinked his glass with Henry’s and queried, “You’re a man. You should understand what I mean, right?”

Henry nodded.

“But my dad said he’s gotten used to being alone.” Zachary leaned against the chair.

“How did your dad… take care of himself, then?” Right after saying that, Henry covered his forehead with his hand. He couldn’t help but regret the words as they left his l*ps. It was an odd question, after all.

“Are you joking, Mr. Gibson?” Zachary quirked a brow. “Right, you’ve never been short of women, so why would you need to use your hands?”

“Ahem…” Henry expected that Zachary would seize the opportunity to take a dig at him. “What I meant was the bodily fluid that the police found on Ashley. Could she have…”

Zachary’s hand, which was holding the glass, froze for a moment. “Initially, I suspected my dad and didn’t

believe him because the police found traces of him on Ashley. However, I couldn’t figure out why they were on her in the first place…”

Zachary’s voice was hoarse as he continued, “Ultimately, I underestimated just how evil one can be… She was so young back then. How could she be so vicious? Why did she know all these things?”
