Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 

Henry frowned and looked up hesitantly at Josie. Why?” 

Her manager is not qualified. Don’t worry. I won’t target her. Seeing that Henry was thinking about it, Josie smiled bitterly

As long as Ashley was involved, Henry would definitely disappoint her

In fact, Josie wasn’t very hopeful

Zachary has been monitoring Ashley. If she stays with you, it will be easy to guess your purpose.Henry felt it was all too risky

Is that so? Aren’t you planning to lure Zachary out?asked Josie. She looked at Henry and added. Or are you concerned about Ashley, afraid I may harm her if she follows me?” 

Henry felt a headache coming. It was obvious that Josie was targeting Ashley. For her to approach Henry for approval, she must already have a plan

He was not worried about what Josie would do, but… 

He already sensed that Ashley was indeed not as simple as she looked 

However, Josie was really stupid

dup 

Jo, is this the only requirement?Henry looked up at Josie with a compromised look

You promised me. I hope you keep your word.Josie looked away

OkayHenry nodded

Josie was stunned for a moment, as she didn’t expect Henry to agree

Why do you think Zachary intends to hurt me? Is it because of the abduction? But he almost got killed to save me. I told you about it.Josie calmly sat down

Ashley gave me a diary written by Zachary. There were photos of you inside it. He has been tailing you.” Henry had always felt that Zachary was a dangerous man

Have you ever thought that he’s trying to protect me?Josie tried to convince Henry 

Josie, did someone say something to you?Henry frowned. Josic wouldn’t come to such a conclusion for no reason

My instinct told me so. Zachary has been targeting me for the past ten years. Is there no opportunity for him to take action? I take the bus every day, and I’m always alone. For the past three years of marriage, you have never noticed or cared for me. Yet I’m still alive and have never been kidnapped by Zachary, I find this simply too unbelievable,” Josie said faintly without elaborating further

Henry trusted Ashley so much that it was useless for Josie to continue

On the contrary, it would be detrimentalto Zachary if Henry became suspicious

It’s just that my people have been monitoring him closely. He wasn’t able to execute his plans.Henry wouldn’t believe that Zachary was kind enough to protect Josie

In Henry’s opinion, Zachary had always been coveting Josie

Chapter 140 

What about Ashley? Do you really think she is so kind and innocent? Josie asked, even though she was reluctant to know the answer

She has depression. I justI felt guilty. We stayed together when we were younger. I was adopted by my grandpa, leaving her behind, so..” 

Henry didn’t know how to explain the importance of Ashley to him

He had no feelings for Ashley, but he could not deny she was important to him

If could be due to his obsession when he was younger, but now it was a nightmare

By protecting Ashley, he wanted to remind himself of how he was abandoned at the orphanage

No one loved him back then. So, it made him genuinely care for and treasure any form of kindness given to him

Because of this, he couldn’t let go of Josie as well

However, he was more adamant when it came to Josic. He knew it was love for Josie, while Ashley was just family

Henry, everyone has their own way to go. So does Ashley. This is her choice. She must be held responsible for everything she has done, regardless of right or wrong” 

Josie was referring to Ashley and Henry

They were all adults. If they did something wrong, they would have to bear the consequences

Josie had already made up her mind on the way here. One thing she knew well was that she wouldn’t love Henry as much as 

she used to

He made a mistake. He left Josie for Ashley and almost choked her to death because of Ashley. This was the hard truth 

Her heart was dead. There was nothing that could be done to revive her love for him

Sign the remarriage contract. We will go and get the certificate in the afternoon. Please read the contract carefully and feel free to raise any questions.” 

Henry also felt Josie’s estrangement toward him. He was hurting, yet he pretended as if he wasn’t affected

He didn’t know what he could get by forcing Josie to remarry him. Would it be possible for Josie to forgive him

Perhaps, Henry was holding on to his fantasy

Josie kept quiet. Instead, she went to the kitchen and put the breakfast on the table

Remarriage is just cooperation. I have a job, and you are not allowed to interfere.” Josie glanced at Henry 

Henry nodded

I don’t need a maid at home, but neither am I a free nanny. Josie placed the fork in front of Henry. He had never respected her in the previous marriage

I won’t force you to cook as you are not talented in cooking. I can prepare the meals, but you will do the dishes and housework. You can consider hiring a housekeeper if you are reluctant. Josie knew that Henry was not accustomed to having outsiders in the house. Thus, she decided to set the rules first

Henry looked up at Josie. In the past three years, he had mistreated Josie and owed her too much

Since this marriage is a partnership. I don’t care how many women you have outside, but don’t touch me.” Josie clenched her fingers tightly. She proclaimed. I live in the guest room. You live in the master bedrooms. We should respect each other privacy. And most importantly, we must trust each other. If there are any misunderstandings or doubts, we must clarify them as soon as possible. We must not accumulate it.” 

Josie thought. In the past three years, if we had been truthful to each other, things would’ve been different today

Even if it was a cooperative relationship, the foundation should begin with trust
