Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 99

Samuel was stunned for a moment. He thought, Josie retorted Yuri?”

“Remember, don’t hit people in the face.” Samuel smiled and was instantly revived.

Yuri rolled his eyes at Samuel and sighed. “Show off. Samuel, you should seriously think about you and Josie’s future. At least you should know what she is afraid of. She is too timid. She is used to being bullied and will no longer resist.”

“It’s true that I didn’t think things through. She has been thinking of others since she was a child. Henry is used to threatening others. I have to work harder to become stronger so that Josie can feel secure. At least, she would not be threatened because of him” Samuel turned around to look at the scenery outside the building. He was silent for a long time.

“So, you don’t give her any trouble until you are capable enough to protect her.” Yuri patted Samuel on the shoulder and left.

In the Gibson residence, Arthur had been discharged from the hospital and needed to rest at home.

“Arthur, Jo and I will come back and stay with you during this period.” After the family doctor left, Henry sat by the bed to soothe Arthur.

“Alas, you both have grown up. You have your own ideas. No need to do anything for me.” Arthur shook his head.

Henry felt guilty. Arthur could always see through his thoughts.

Henry was forcing Josie to come back.

“Jo, go to work. You don’t have to stay with me at home.

Josie looked bad. She shook her head at Arthur and said, “Arthur, I’m not busy. Henry is busy. Let him do his work. I’ll stay with you at home”

Henry smiled, poured water for Arthur, and gave Josie a glass of juice. I’m not busy. I’ll stay at home with you all.”

Josie frowned and said nothing.

“What do you want to eat in the evening?” Henry stood in front of Josie and stuffed the juice in her hand.

“I’ll eat whatever Adeline makes.” Josie gritted her teeth.

“Who said Adeline will prepare the meal?” Henry muttered and walked out of the bedroom.

Josie did not care. She mused, “Is Henry the one who cooks when Adeline doesn’t? What a joke!”

“Jo, did you propose the divorce?” Arthur wanted to ask for a long time.

“Yes. Josie nodded.

“Do you still love him?” Arthur then patted Josie’s hand.

Clancing at Arthur, Josie shook her head firmly. “Arthur, I don’t love him anymore”

In three years, she consumed all her love.

Stunned for a moment, Arthur sighed “Is it really impossible for you to be together?”

“He doesn’t love me. We just torture each other.” Josie did not understand why Henry had been pestering her.

Jo, your grandpa left a will before he died.” Arthur was silent for a long time and finally told Josie.

Originally, as long as Josie and Henry did not divorce, there was no need to make this will public. “Go to the lawyer called Hector Lopez in Jacaster. The prerequisite for Henry to get Gibson Corporation is that he is married to you. You have the right to decide what to do.”

Shocked, Josie felt her fingers go slightly numb.

Josie thought, “Did Grandpa leave a will?” She then said, “Arthur, Grandpa cultivated Henry as an heir. Why did he leave such a will? This is a hidden danger for the company.”

Josie’s heart hurt. She thought, “Now I understand why the Taibbi family vowed to marry me. Because by marrying me, they can get everything from the Gibson family. Why did Grandpa do this?”

“John has always been brooding over the cause of your parents‘ deaths. Although I don’t understand why he did this, maybe he wants to give you a guarantee that Henry won’t divorce you.”

Josie then sat upright stiffly.

She wondered, “Did Grandpa suspect Henry? He left such a will because he was worried?”

“You’ve been a coward since you were a child. John asked you what you wanted when he left, but you don’t want anything. How can be rest assured?”

Arthur sighed, as he was also worried about Josie. Her temperament was like that. She was bullied and did not know how to resist. She would just hide and cry secretly.

“I watched Henry grow up. He came to the Gibson residence when he was eight years old. I know better than anyone whether he is good or bad. He’s too numb to love. He’ll suffer losses sooner or later. Both of you are unsettling.”

“Arthur, it’s good for us if we’re separated.” Josie looked away, as her eyes turned red.

“Jo, the fate of the Gibson family and Henry have long been connected, which was not something he could choose. Five years ago, Henry took over the Gibson family alone. At that time, the Gibson family already had serious problems. John was old. The company’s problems were complex. Both venture capital and real estate were in the stage of collapse. It’s Henry, who took over the company and took care of Gibson Corporation up to this day. It can be said that even if he starts from scratch, he can still do a great job. He has a greater ability, which is his talent.”

“Arthur, why did you say that?” Josie knew Henry’s ability all the time, which was beyond doubt.

“He didn’t marry you for the property of the Gibson family. Five years ago, the Gibson family was in trouble, which was more difficult than starting from scratch. Henry is like that. That’s how he expresses his love, which is different from others.” Arthur patted Josie on the back of her hand again.

Josie’s eyes turned red, and she was unable to say too much.

Arthur still hoped that they would be fine.

But Henry did not express his love in a different way. He simply did not know what love was.

“Do you remember the puppy you picked up that year?” Arthur looked away. It had been many years since then.

Arthur then continued to say, “I asked the servant to take the puppy for a checkup. The puppy you picked up was sick. It was too small to live long and could not be saved. Henry was afraid that you would be sad. If the puppy died, you would be sad for a long time. So he asked someone to send the puppy away while it was alive. At least, the puppy would always live in your heart.”

Looking up at Arthur, Josie shook her head. “Arthur, no matter what the reason is, hurt is not love.”

It was hard to change the fact that Henry hurt her.

Even if nothing was enough to give her up, Henry left her alone when her ectopic pregnancy made her bleed.

When Ashley threatened Henry with death, he wanted to strangle Josie.

Everything proved that Henry did not love her.

It was not that he could not express.

What kind of person would use hurt to express love?

If one really loved someone, one would not let the person suffer any grievances or hurt.

The person would be the only one in one’s heart..

Because Josie used to treat Henry like that.

She exchanged her love for three years of indifference.

Such love was unequal from the beginning and was always exhausting.

As he sighed, Arthur shook his head. “No one ever bothered to care about him. I’ve said too much. Jo, you always have the right to decide. As long as you are strong enough, no one can influence your decision.”

“Arthur, take a good rest.”

Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Josie got up and walked out.

Looking at Josie, Arthur sighed again. He mused, I’m afraid Henry is going to lose Josie.”

Three years ago, Josie was full of love for Henry. It was only a three–year marriage, and there was not much left. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The current situation was attributed to the gradual accumulation of various factors.

“Mr. Gibson, be careful. This pot is burnt!”

The kitchen was so lively that the cook, Adeline, was about to cry.

Henry was making oatmeal. The kitchen and the living room were full of pasty smells.

Henry walked out of the kitchen with a gloomy face. He mused, “It looks so simple to cook oatmeal. But I couldn’t do it well. Even Samuel, who is not interested in mundane affairs, could cook so well!”
