Chapter 169
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 169 After she recovered and settled all the disputes, if Samuel were to wait for her, she wanted to... She only hoped for a simple, loving and mutually respectful relationship with her other half.
They would get married, have children, and grow old together.
âYes, of course.â It took Samuel a long time to say those words.
He had no idea how much courage he had to muster up to reply. Josie that.
He would meet a better woman.
He only hoped... Josie would live a better life in the future.
He would be waiting for her if she ever wanted to return to him.
The sky was getting dark. Josie fell asleep.
Josie thought Samuel had given up...
She was pleased, but also a little sad.
Humans shouldnât be too selfish.
en if it meant being alone, she had to live on in her own pace.
Even In the middle of the night, she woke up startled. Josie looked at her phone and saw that it was two in the morning.
Henry didnât seem to be back.
Josie got up, walked to the living room, and poured herself a glass of water.
She glanced at Henryâs bedroom. He was really not back yet.
Josie leaned on the dining table in silence for a long time. She was getting worried, so she decided to give Henry a call.
No one answered the phone.
Josie was still halfâasleep. The glass in Josieâs hand slipped and fell onto the ground.
She bent over to pick up the glass fragments. Her finger was accidentally cut and blood was dripping down.
Josie was flustered. She quickly stood up to deal with her wound.
After putting on a BandâAid, Josie gave Henry another call, still worried.
Henry finally answered the phone in a soft voice. âWhy are you still up? I was at the police station just now.â
âAshleyâs still missing?â Josie was inexplicably flustered.
âYeah. We didnât find her. Go to bed early. Donât stay up late, okay?â Henry was worried that Josie would overthink things. âThen... Do you have to keep on waiting for an update?â Josie had a bad feeling.
âNo, the police have officially filed the case. Iâm going home now. When thereâs news, the police will inform me. Henry comforted Josie. âGo to sleep first. Donât wait for me.â
Chapter 169 Josie let out a sigh of relief.
It would be better if Henry came home first.
She had a feeling that something would happen.
The last time she was so uneasy was the year of her parentâs car accident.
Sitting on the sofa, Josie couldnât fall asleep for a long time. Her train of thought was extraordinarily clear.
What exactly is Ashley trying to do?â she mused.
If she had disappeared deliberately, the news would definitely go viral among the media the next day.
Ashley seemed to be very good at guiding the entertainment trend.
Josie massaged between her eyebrows. She was not worried that Ashley was playing tricks, but that Ashley might have gotten into real trouble...
If something really happened to Ashley after their conflicts online, Josie would for sure be the âsinner.
Josie sighed and leaned back on the sofa. She decided to just wait until Henry was back home..
âOne can never underestimate Ashley Long, huh?â Josie scoffed in her heart.
Ashley could always stir up Josieâs feelings easily, making the latter go somewhat out of control.
When Henry returned home, Josie was still sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
âDidnât I tell you to sleep early?â Henry looked a little tired when he sat down next to Josie.
âStill missing?â Josie asked softly.
âDonât think too much. No matter what happens to her, it has nothing to do with you. Henry knew that Josie was worried. about public opinion. âI have asked someone to suppress the news, and I also gave Thomas a warning.â
*Suppressing the news means Iâm guilty. It doesnât matter. I donât care.â She had done nothing wrong, so there was no reason for her to be guilty of anything.
Nonetheless, it seemed pretty scary to have the entire Internet of people hating you.
âGo to bed. Itâs so late. Henry got up and led Josie into the bedroom.
âHenry, you suddenly posted those on Twitter and disobeyed Spike. Will he take any action behind our backs?â Josie asked nervously.
Henryâs eyes suddenly fell on Josieâs fingers and he came forward nervously. âWhatâs wrong with your hand?â
âI broke a glass and hurt my finger.â Josie hid his hands behind her.
âDonât think too much. Spike doesnât dare to do anything to me now.â Henry nodded and turned around to enter the room Josie breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind Henry.
Henry leaned against the door and stood weakly for a long time.
Back then, he liked to hug Josie whenever he was feeling tired....
Chapter 169 Whenever Josie was asleep, he would pull her into his arms.
Now, he couldnât reach out to her because it seemed like Josie was always a distance away from him.
Back then... Josie loved him and she only had him in her heart, but now...
This was all his fault.
The relationship between him and Josie became the way it was today because he had realized too late how selfârighteous he had been before.
He sincerely hoped that everything in Josieâs life could go smoothly in the future.
He also hoped that she would recover from her sickness and be healthy again.
He... seemed to be unable to protect her for the rest of her life.
The next morning.
Josie had not slept well. When she woke up, Henry was already gone.
Henry left a note for her. Leaving notes was what she would always do back in those days.
She needed to catch the bus and the subway, so she would make breakfast and leave in a hurry. She would then leave a note either on the dining table or the refrigerator, reminding Henry to eat his breakfast This time, it was Henry who left the note. He said there had been an update on Ashleyâs case, so he left for the police station. He also reminded Josie to have a good breakfast before heading to work.
Buzz!
Josieâs phone had been ringing ever since 7:30a.m.
She glanced at her phone. It was Madelyn...
âJo, where are you?â Madelyn asked nervously.
âAt home. Whatâs wrong?â asked Josie while eating the ravioli left by Henry, âSomething happened...â Madelyn lowered her voice. âLook at the news. Something bad had happened to Ashley. Ashleyâs fans are now gathering in front of Clusia Media Group. Donât come here. Iâve already applied for leave on your behalf and Yuri has approved.â
âWhat happened to Ashley? What do you mean?â Josie frowned.
âAshley was found in the cellar of an orphanage. When she was found, she was in shock and seriously dehydrated. I heard that... the doctors could not revive her. Even if she did survive, she would be in a comm.....
Madelyn was trying not to trigger Josieâs emotions.
Josieâs hand that was holding the phone stiffened for a long time. âAshley Long... loves her own life like no other. Why would she go down that road?
Was it me who has always been judgmental? Was Ashley really suffering from depression? Besides... Did she intend to make Henry feel guilty all his life for picking the cellar of the old orphanage?â Question after question began to appear in Josieâs mind Josieâs eyes turned red as she hung up the phone with trembling fingers.
Josie raised her hand to cover her eyes and proceeded to check her phone..
11:14 Sat, 11 May Chapter 169 Henry, Samuel, and Yuri all called her..
88%
âHello?â It was Yuri who called again. âJosie, the company will deal with Ashleyâs matter. You just lay low for now. You can come to work again after all this is over.â
âI...â Josieâs voice was trembling. âI didnât expect this to happen...â
âIt has nothing to do with you. She did all that to herself. Besides, no one wants to see such a thing. Have a good rest and maybe, take this opportunity to take a vacation. Donât worry about the company. Weâre here to back you up. Donât be afraid.â
Yuri had called for Samuelâs sake. Samuel was afraid that Josie wouldnât pick up his call.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang outside the door.
