Josie clenched her fists tight and breathed shallowly as she looked at Henry, who had just entered the door.
Josie was suprised that Henry still remembered to come back and sign the divorce settlement agreement after hanging out with Ashley for so long.
Josie and Henry looked at each other in silence.
Then, Josie spoke first. âHenry, letâs sign the divorce seulement agreement. You can take a look at it, or you can come up Josie didnât ask for anything in the divorce settlement agreement. She wanted nothing from the Gibson family.
Henry frowned and was obviously a little irritable.
Josie didnât know what Henry had gone through. Henryâs collar was pulled open, and he looked rather disheveled.
However, it was none of her business anymore.
âIs this your decision after thinking about it all afternoon!â Henryâs voice was cold, and he walked to the couch slowly.
Josie looked down and subconsciously wanted to get some water for Henry However, Josie retracted her hands, with She felt funny that she still felt like taking care of Henry even though they were about to get a divorce.
Taking care of Henry had become a habit for Josie In the past three years, Josie has tried her best to fulfill her duties as a wife.
After work, she needed to leave on time in order to get back home as soon as possible.
When she got home, she needed to clean up the house, do the laundry, and cook.
Since it was a secret marriage, Josie had to do everything by herself, without the help of a housekeeper.
Then, when Henry came home from work, she always poured a glass of water for him.
Henry didnât like the smell of perfume, so she never used any perfume.
Henry was very picky with his food, so she had to be careful with the ingredients when she cooked.
She did all these for a solid three years.
Therefore, taking care of Henry had become a habit for her.
âWell, letâs get a divorce. Josie smiled at Henry. âWe have lived together for so many years. If you could fall in love with me, you would have fallen in love with me by now.â
Henryâs face darkened. âJosie, you ask for too much, and itâs not realistic.â
When they collected their marriage certificate three years ago, Henry told Josie that he could give her anything except love.
âEverything was the same as before, werenât they?â Henry thought.
âWhat can I do? People change. They would turn greedy, but they would sober up too. Josie smiled and pushed the signed agreement to Henry. âIf you sign it now, then you will get your freedom.â
âSo youâll leave this marriage with nothing?â Henry asked in a cold voice..
âWell, everything in the Gibson family belongs to youâ She didnât want anything that was left by Hayden.
âWow, youâre so holy and ambitious, Henry teased. Henry had always hated how proud Josie was.
Everything that Josie despised was exactly what Henry wanted and desired. Therefore, Henry felt aggrieved.
He couldnât stand how noble and holy Josie was.
Henry really wanted to see how Josie would come back and beg for his help once she got defeated by reality after leaving this marriage with nothing.
There are some omissions in the agreement. I will ask the legal department to reâdraft it and sign it tomorrow. You can come to the company tomorrow.â
Henty raised his eyebrows and went into the bedroom.
Josie remained silent for a long time, not knowing what went wrong with her agreement.
âWhat omissions is that? Iâve decided to leave the marriage with nothing after all,â she thought.
After taking a deep breath. Josie cleaned up the living room and left the home where she had been staying for three years.
She realized that the family that she had built no longer belonged to her.
After taking a shower, Henry came out of the bedroom. âJo, get me a glass of waterâ¦â
He subconsciously called out for Josieâs name, only to find that the living room was empty.
Henry lowered his eyes and rubbed his temples.
The habit was indeed a terrible thing.
In the Harrington River of Hofcaster.
It was late at night. Josie didnât look for Madelyn. Instead, she walked on the riverside alone in the bitingly cold wind.
She wrapped her clothes tightly, but her whole body was red from the cold.
It was so cold.
Josie hid and squatted in a corner, crying silently for a long time.
All the while, she had been pretending to be strong. She only dared to cry when no one was around.
She had humbly loved this man for more than ten years.
âWell, well, look who is crying by the Harrington River at night? People would have thought that youâre a female ghost. Arenât you afraid of scaring the passersâby?â
Before Josie could finish crying, a sarcastic voice sounded.
âIt sounds like someone was panting too? Josie thought.
âJo!â Madelyn ran toward her, panting.
