Chapter 32
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 32 Josie felt as though she was struck by lightning. After a long moment, she finally moved gingerly.
It was sheer coincidence that she met Henry in here.
âMr. Gibson, what a coincidence!â Ezra felt a little awkward about changing the subject. âSurely you jest. Jo isnât that sort of person.â
âYes, what a coincidence.â Henry snorted and focused his gaze on Josie. âDo you think you know her very well? How can you be sure that sheâs not that kind of person?â
Henry was provoking Ezra on purpose.
âEzra, letâs go somewhere else.â Josieâs face paled, but she forced herself to smile as she tried to escape.
Ezra looked at them and felt troubled. âIf Jo was really married, he must have been a bad person to make her want to divorce him.â
Josie was not the type of person who would marry whimsically.
When Ezra was in college, he had chased after Josie for a long time, only for Josie to say a single word to him.
Smiling, Josie glanced at Ezra gratefully. âLetâs go.â
Ezra nodded and looked at Henry apologetically. âIâm sorry, Mr. Gibson. Jo and I will be leaving now.â
Henry stood there, the veins in his hands bulging.
The air pressure turned low and terrifying âWhat did he mean by a bad person!â he wondered.
âMr. Gibson, they have arrived. Shall we go up first?â Henryâs assistant, who came looking for him, was startled by the pressure he exuded.
âTell them I canât come because thereâs something I need to take care of.â Henry turned around and walked out of the restaurant, feeling irritated.
Shocked, the assistant thought, âBut youâre already here...
However, she dared not question Henry.
âI need you to investigate someone. Henry suddenly halted after taking a few steps. âEzra Hunter, a business administration graduate of the class of 2015 of Acocester University in Hofcaster.
Henry remembered that man. In fact, he remembered all the men who loitered around Josie Clenching his fingers again, Henry had no idea why he was so out of control. His words only served to push Josie further and further away from him.
When he saw Josie with another man, he was unable to rein in his emotions.
âYes, Mr. Gibson.â
Meanwhile, Josie and Ezra were strolled down a food street near Acocester University, Hofcaster. The familiar sights were the same, but the two who walked down the street were no longer the same people they once were.
âItâs been years since we graduated.â
Chapter 32 Josie nodded in agreement. âYeah.â
I heard that the 15th and 16th graduating classes are going to hold a reunion. Are you going?â Ezra fumbled for a conversation topic.
âIâm not sure.â Josie did riot wish to participate in such activities.
Thatâs right. Everyone is busy now, but the class reunion is also a social network, so we should attend. Ezra bought Josie some roasted chestnuts. He remembered that Josie loved it.
Josie took the offered snack and stopped walking.
âEven a former schoolmate who hadnât seen me in three years remembered what I liked to eat, she thought.
Jo. is Henry really not your brother?â Ezra was a little confused. âWhy would he say that Josie cheated on him in marriage?â he wondered.
Yeah. I donât know him very well.â Josie nodded.
Although she had been with Henry for so many years, they only grew more estranged as time passed.
What was more, she had signed a confidentiality agreement not to divulge the information to outsiders.
Only âThatâs strange. I recall back then...â Ezra wanted to say something but stopped. âForget it, letâs not talk about him. Itâs right that you got out of a marriage that wasnât working out for you. Thereâs nothing wrong with doing so. D Although Ezra did not know what was going on, he still made an attempt to comfort Josie.
Josieâs eyes reddened at having an unfamiliar person trying to comfort her. Thank you, Ezra.â
âItâs the least I could do as a friend,â said Ezra. Itâd be better if they could be closer.
âItâs so nice of you, anyway.â Josie smiled at Ezra.
Thankfully, Ezra had helped her out today. Otherwise, Josie had no idea how she would have dealt with Henry.
Josie slowly loosened her fingers that she had not realized were clenched.
She had attempted to disguise her emotions, but the coldness had managed to spread out.
âCheated on him... Did Henry really think I cheated on him during our marriage?â she wondered.
Ding!
Suddenly, Josieâs phone vibrated as she received a text message.
Josie took a look and found it was from Charles.
Charles had called her several times, but Josie had not answered his calls. Thus, he decided to text her instead.
[Jo, this is urgent. Please reply when you see this. It has something to do with your parentsâ car accident.]
Josie lost her grip on the bag of roasted chestnuts. The bag of chestnuts fell to the ground, rolling everywhere.
Josie stopped breathing and looked up at Ezra with a pale face. âIâm sorry. Something came up at home. Iâll treat you some other day.
Before Ezra could offer to send Josie off, the latter had already turned around and bolted.
Meanwhile, at Gibson Corporation, Charlesâ assistant reminded him in a low voice, âMr. Larson, your phone is ringing.
Chapter 89 Josie nodded in agreement. âYeah I heard that the 15th and 16th graduating classes are going to hold a reunion. Are you going?â Ezra fumbled for a conversation topic.

Chapter 32-
Smiling, Charles gestured at his assistant to keep quiet. He was waiting for Josieâs second call.
Always acting so proud and indifferent. That holierâthanâthou attitude, Well, the time has come for her to beg me he #thought.
As expected, Josie called again.
Jo. I was just... Charles tried to explain as he answered the phone calmly.
âThe message you sent. What do you mean by it?â Josie only cared about the truth behind her parentsâ car accident.
Josie was not a fool. The car accident all those years ago was not actually an accident.
The other car had deliberately headed their way, If her mother, Kathy, and her father, Hayden, hadnât pushed her out of the car, she would have died in the accident as well.
After the incident, Josie suffered a great shock, and her anxiety disorder began from then on.
She learned from John that someone had tampered with her fatherâs car.
back Obviously, someone did not want her father to go back to the Gibson family.
âI canât tell you over the phone. Can we meet somewhere? Jo, this isnât a small matter. The fewer people know, the better,â Charles said warily.
âI can meet up now!â Josie was anxious for more leads. There were more clues that she couldnât find.
She was aware that Charles could not be completely trusted, but she could not let a clue slip through her fingers.
Charles smiled. âWeâll meet at Cote Restaurant. Iâll wait for you there.â
âOkayâ
After hanging up the phone, Charles sent a message to Ashley. âShe took the bait.â
In a restaurant on the coast, Madelyn had returned from her trip to the shopping mall to find everyone else gone.
After searching around, Madelyn called Ezra. âEzra, where are you guys?â
âJo and I went headed to the neighborhood of the university for a walk, but something came up, so she left. Ezra was as gentle and polite as ever.
Madelyn grinned. âSo, how did it go, Ezra? Spill the beans!â
âAt the end of the line, Ezra was a little embarrassed as he said, âJo said she just got divorced. I donât think I should pressure her now. I donât mind waiting and taking it slow.â
Madelyn was stunned. She couldnât believe Josie actually confessed to being married. âWhat a silly woman,â she mused.
âEzra, I think you and Jo make a fine pair. Good luck!â Madelyn encouraged Ezra.
âThere will be an alumni association meeting soon. I hope youâll set me up with Jo then.â Ezra truly wanted to spend more time with Josie.
âDonât worry. Leave it to me!â Madelyn agreed excitedly.
Ezra was a gentle and courteous person, and he seemed to be motivated. âHeâs way better than Henry!â she thought.
After hanging up the phone, Madelyn was in a good mood. She hummed as she prepared to look for Josie.
