Chapter 134
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
âJo, can you cook ravioli for me tonight?â Henry whispered.
Josie peered at Henry as a sense of overwhelming loneliness hit her. That feeling had been haunting Henry all this while and had never dissipated.
In the past, she thought her companionship could diminish Henryâs loneliness no matter whether he loved her or not. For Henry, Josie had tried to be selfless and lost her sense of self. Yet, she couldnât get rid of the unhappiness surrounding Henry.
Josie mused. I have to live for myself too.â Her outlook on life changed drastically after finding out that she was sick. If it wasnât for her sickness, Josie knew it would be difficult for her to give up on Henry, no matter how many times he broke her heart.
She felt that she still had a lot of time left and that Henry would fall in love with her one day. But now, Josie didnât have much time remaining. She didnât want to waste it on waiting for Henry. Her time was limited, and she didnât know when the end would come for her. Her life was short, and she didnât know when to leave.
Josie thought, âI canât give Henry hope. But at the same time, I want to live reckless living blissfully with the time I have left. I want to be âHenry, have you considered what I mentioned?â Josie asked in a low voice as anxious sweat formed on her palm during their car ride back to Hofcaster. âAbout the collaboration.â
âCar sickness?â Noticing that Josie was acting edgy, Henry wanted to hug her.
âHenry... Josie leaned on the door helplessly. âI donât suffer from car sickness.â
Henry paused, his arms stiffening.
âSee. You donât understand me.â Josie smiled bitterly and explained, âSamuel, though, knew since ten years ago why I refused to take private cars. I was in the backseat of the private car when my parents died in an accident.â
Henryâs heart ached. He reached out and pulled Josie into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her tightly. âBut you... didnât tell me anything...
You know... Iâm slow when it comes to love. Iâm not as thoughtful as Samuel. But I will rememb everything you say as long as you tell me.
He would try his best to remember Josieâs birthday and the day they got married. But Henry didnât know what Josie needed or what else he could give her.
âWhatâs with the both of us? You wonât tell me anything. I didnât do anything for you.â Henry tightened his arms around Josie. Even though he felt sorry for Josie, he didnât know how to express himself like Samuel. The most significant progress Henry could make now was to speak the words he did with Josie in his embrace.
Josie spoke. âPeople will feel insecure when they donât feel othersâ love toward them. I thought you knew what I wanted without needing me to say anything. You thought I didnât say anything because I donât care.â
Without a standard to compare to, Josie thought every man in the world was the same. However, she finally met a knew the real reasons behind her silence, and he knew why she was unhappy.
man who âHenry, you didnât want a child during our three years of marriage. But I do. I had to take a contraceptive pill every time to prevent myself from getting pregnant. You donât even care how much damage it does to my body. Whatâs more, even if you donât care about me, you shouldnât have been with Ashley when I was bleeding out because of the ectopic pregnancy. That shouldnât have happened, no matter what your reason was.â
âJosie was once pregnant, even if it was an ectopic pregnancy, Henry thought to himself. His breathing got quicker as heartache filled his heart. He gripped his arms around Josie tightly.
Henry wanted to explain, but no words came out of his mouth. âJo... That day...â

Chapter 134 No matter what the explanation was, Henry had made a mistake. Nothing he said was enough to make things right.
âHenry, I do not want you anymore,â Josie remarked.
Henry was the one who had said this when they got divorced. He stated, âJosie, it was me who didnât want you anymore.â
But now, it was Josieâs turn to speak those words to Henry.
âI donât want...â Henry closed his eyes as he hugged Josie even tighter.

According to her understanding of Henry, he would go crazy whenever their relationship issues were mentioned, so Josie wanted to change the subject to prevent that from happening.
âIâve already told you. I can handle it. To Henry, there was no need for him to work with Josie or involve her in it. The situation was too risky.
âYou can handle it? Do I have to wait around for you like a fool?â Josie wanted to push Henry away. She said, âItâs not that I donât trust you. Itâs that Iâm unwilling to wait any longer.â
Henry refused to let go of Josie. He nodded and compromised, âOkay, itâs a yes from me. Yes. From now on, I will agree to do anything you want me to.â
