Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 28

Josie was following Samuel at Cote Restaurant. She looked flustered as she thought about how much this meal would cost her. She heard that the price here was very expensive.

Although her salary was not low, she spent most of her wages on medical treatment and rent. She had to cut tight in her budget.

“What’s your plan after the divorce? I saw Madelyn yesterday. She said she would introduce you to a blind date,” Samuel asked jokingly and took Josie into the elevator.

“What?” Josie replied absentminded before she suddenly came back to her senses. “Maddy was talking nonsense. I don’t have time for a blind date. I don’t have any plans at present..”

She just wanted to see a doctor and live well.

“Haven’t you ever thought of dating another person?” Samuel tried.

Josie lowered her head and shook her head.

She didn’t want to date another person.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a hand reached in. “Sorry, we requisitioned the elevator in advance. Could please wait for the next shift? We need to use the elevator to reach the top floor.”

Josie looked outside and thought, “What a small world.”

you

It was Ashley’s staff who had just arrived with the camera in their arms. Ashley was standing in the front without raising her head.

Who do you think you are?” Samuel was not pleased.

“Mister, we have made an agreement with the restaurant in advance. The assistant frowned, but Samuel looked like somebody she wouldn’t dare to offend. Hence, she didn’t dare to use harsh words.

“The restaurant didn’t put up warning signs in advance. This is the restaurant’s fault. It’s your fault that you didn’t communicate well in advance with the restaurant Samuel didn’t back off.

Tm

sorry, sir. We’re really in a hurry. Could we…” Ashley took off her sunglasses and changed into a pitiful look. However, the moment she recognized Samuel and Josie, her face froze.

“What are they doing here?” she thought.

“I thought I smelled something fetid here. No wonder. It’s you, Ms. Long. Samuel glanced at Josie subconsciously and took a step forward to guard her behind him.

Josie, please help us. We’re really in a rush.” Ashley had no choice but to beg Josie.

“Sorry, first come, first served.” Josie pushed Ashley’s assistant out and directly pressed the close button of the elevator.

Samuel was stunned by Josie’s behavior. Is she still the soft little girl I knew? But at least she knows how to fight back now,” he thought.

Samuel smiled and looked at Josie. His eyes were full of affection. “Do you still have an appetite for food?”

Josie nodded. “It’s so expensive here. Since we’re all here, why don’t we try this exquisite food?”

Samuel just smiled and said nothing.

Ashley gritted her teeth outside the elevator and stomped her feet while glaring at the elevator on the top floor. They were only ten minutes late.

“What should we do? It will take some time for the sightseeing elevator to get down. The scenery we need is only available now, and it will be too late for us to get up after this.

Ashley clenched her fingers angrily. She was so unlucky to meet Josie!

“Don’t worry. It was Samuel Turner who went upstairs just now. I remember that you have a paparazzi friend who has been pursuing Samuel. Isn’t now the perfect opportunity?” Ashley smiled.

The assistant was shocked. She couldn’t believe the man just now was Samuel.

She patted her chest in fear. Fortunately, they didn’t go head–on with them.

Meanwhile, somewhere at Henry’s house, Henry was in emotional turmoil.

After divorcing Josie, Henry didn’t feel as relieved as he expected.

Instead, he had been absent–minded since yesterday.

“Talready acquired Josie’s shares after the divorce, and I’m sure I didn’t leave anything behind that can be used against me in the future. What exactly is troubling me?”

“Jo, tomorrow is my…” Henry said in a trance and forgot the fact that Josie was no longer staying in the house.

Tomorrow was his birthday.

Every year. Josie would prepare a celebration for Henry’s birthday.

Although she wouldn’t prepare any surprises and romantics, it was still heartwarming for Henry,

But this year. Josie was gone.

“Henry.” Henry rubbed his temples while answering Ashley’s call.

“Have you and Josie made up yet? I just came to Cote Restaurant to shoot and saw Josie and Mr. Turner together. It seemed that the paparazzi had caught on to the news too, Ashley deliberately reminded him.

Henry’s fingers stiffened for a moment. He hung up the phone instinctively and started reading entertainment news.

It read,[Mr. Turner was seen having dinner with his girlfriend in a fine dining restaurant.]

“Samuel Looking at the photos taken by the paparazzi, Henry became more annoyed.

His mind was filled with images of Josie talking and laughing with others.

“She looked like she was suffering a lot when she was with me every day. Yet, she looked so happy and jubilant when she was with Samuel. Since when did she want to divorce me?” he thought.

For the first time, Henry tasted the feeling of being deceived and abandoned.

That feeling almost drove him crazy,

At Cote Restaurant, Samuel and Josie had the most expensive lunch in the history of their lives. Of course, Samuel unilaterally thought it was a pleasant dinner.

Josie just wanted to know why a meal could be so expensive.

“You don’t like it?” Samuel asked.

It’s too expensive for me to enjoy it… Josie said honestly. She wouldn’t afford food of this price.

Samuel felt sorry for her. “Do you know Henry comes here whenever he wants to bring Ashley to dinner?”

12:49 Wed, 6 May:

Josie was stunned for a moment and looked up at Samuel,

“So we’re not here for dinner today. He brings me here to make things worse for myself?” she thought.

“I didn’t offend Samuel, did 1?” she asked herself.

“Henry has spent a lot of money for Ashley while you’re worried about a meal here. Josic, you said three years ago that you brought your misérable life onto yourself by staying with him for three years. Do you regret it?”

Josie clenched her fingers tightly, and there was fog in her eyes.

She always knew Samuel was quite mean, but she didn’t expect Samuel to humiliate her because of this after so many years.

“Henry married you for the inheritance of the Gibson family from the beginning. It was a secret between Henry and Samuel.

“He said three years ago that he would divorce you without hesitation after John Gibson died.”

Josie clenched her fingers until the knuckles turned white, and her face turned paler.

“W–When did I offend you?” Josie asked with tears in her eyes.

Samuel was stunned for a moment, and his heart tightened.

“Take your time. Mr. Turner. I’m leaving now… Josie stood up and went to check out

But the waiter said Samuel was a VIP and no payment was needed.

Josie held back her tears and rushed into the elevator.

Three years ago, before they got married, Henry had made up his mind to divorce her.

Her grandfather passed away early. They had just been married for less than three months at that time.

Henry forced himself to be married to her for three years. It was charity to her.

“Josie!” Samuel chased after her and regretted his action.

Madelyn suggested that he should find a way to make Josie give up. He was just….

“I didn’t mean to humiliate you!” Samuel was a little anxious. I just want to tell you that you can be better without Henry.”

“I can also take care of you… Samuel was a little anxious.

He was too straightforward to express himself, but he was confident that he was a better match for Josie than Henry.

Josie thought Samuel was here to add fuel to the fire. “Mr. Turner, I don’t deserve Henry nor you. Please stay away from my

life.

Josie had closed her heart to others. She didn’t want to show her vulnerability to anyone.

Samuel wanted to keep up with Josie, but at the same time, he also wanted to give Josie some time alone to calm down.

It was true that he was being too impatient. She had just divorced and needed time to adapt.

The sky was getting dark and it began to rain.

After Josie returned to the rental apartment, it rained heavily outside the window.

There was no air conditioner in the apartment. Josie initially wanted to ask a technician to install one today, but the plan got delayed.

MUG.

After taking a deep breath, Josie wrapped the blanket around her body and nested on the sofa dejectedly.

Clatter! There was a knock on the door.

Josie stood up vigilantly and looked out of the window at the heavy rain.

“Who could it be at this hour?” she wondered.

Josie looked out from the peephole and stiffened when she saw who the guest was.

It was raining so heavily, and Henry came again.

His hair was wet from the rain and looked messy.
