Josie clenched her fists tight and breathed shallowly as she looked at Henry, who had just entered the door.
Josie was surprised 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. "Henry, let's sign the divorce settlement agreement. You can take a look at it, or you can come up with a new one."
Josie didn't ask for anything in the divorce settlement agreement. She wanted nothing from the Gibson family.
Henry frowned and was obviously a little irritable.
Josie didn't know what Henry had gone through. Henry's collar was pulled open, and he looked rather disheveled.
However, it was none of her business anymore.
"Is this your decision after thinking about it all afternoon?" Henry's 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.
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 didn't 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.
"Well, let's get a divorce." Josie smiled at Henry. "We 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."
Henry's face darkened. "Josie, you ask for too much, and it's not realistic."
When they collected their marriage certificate three years ago, Henry told Josie that he could give her anything except love.
"Everything was the same as before, weren't they?" Henry thought.
"What can I do? People change. They would turn greedy, but they would sober up too." Josie smiled and pushed the signed agreement to Henry. "If you sign it now, then you will get your freedom."
