Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 

Zachary only sneaked back to Josie’s rented place during the middle of the night. There were also many injuries on his body. 

Since Josie decided to take him in, Zachary had the habit of coming to this place when he suffered from injuries, 

Seeing that Josie hadn’t returned, Zachary inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. 

He gently took off his shirt. Anyone would be shocked by the sight of the bruises and blood stains on his back. 

When Zachary straightened his arm, the pain was so intense that there was a tingling sensation all over his body for a long 

time. 

Spike’s underlings were truly ruthless. 

In order to test Zachary, they didn’t give him an alternative to survive 

Fortunately, he successfully passed the test. 

However. Spike was too skeptical. In the beginning. Zachary was only in the observation stage. Nevertheless, he still couldn’t gain Spike’s trust completely. 

Hence, Zachary could only wait. 

“Ouch… Zachary took a deep breath. He went to the bathroom to wash away the blood stains on his body. His complexion. turned pale due to the pain. 

However, he had already gotten used to such affliction. 

At this moment, Zachary heard the sound of Josie’s house door opening. 

Zachary hid vigilantly by the bathroom entrance and took a peek outside. 

It was not Josie but Henry, 

Zachary sighed in relief. He took a towel to dry his hair before walking out. “Didn’t we agree to contact each other first before meeting in the future?” 

“Didn’t you say this would be the meeting place?” Henry sat on the couch. “How is it? Did you succeed?” 

“Of course. Zachary couldn’t be bothered to talk to Henry. He sat on the couch and took an iodophor to disinfect his‘ wounds. 

weaknesses *Spike is such a cunning man. Having no flaws is considered the biggest flaw in his eyes. You have to reveal your and flaws now and then. Let him gradually ‘get to know you. Only then will he truly trust you. Henry leaned on the couch. “I have an idea that will make him trust you.” 

– 

“What is it!” Zachary knitted his brows. 

“In all these years, to protect Josie and Ashley, I’ve taken action against you, causing you to flee for ten years. I’m sure Spike will discover this information. If he wants to test you, he’ll target me and ask you to take me out…” Henry said composedly. 

“Haha… Zachary chuckled. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll use the opportunity to kill you?” 

“Not for now… Henry muttered. 

“What?” Zachary didn’t catch what he said. 

Chapter 169 

“Who will cooperate with you if I’m dead? Do you think you can deal with Spike with your ability alone? Back then, Josie and I got captured when we tried to escape. We have to solve the problem fundamentally, Henry calmly reminded Zachary 

“Even if I don’t want to take your life, if Spike wants to use me and take the chance to finish you off, I can’t resist his order. Zachary shook his head, knowing it was too dangerous. 

I bet… he will not let me die for now.” Henry smiled bitterly. “What he wants to do currently is to make up to Quinton. Spike knows he himself is involved in some illegitimate businesses. He’s doing all he can to let his son replace me, and he aims to let his child live a just and honorable life openly.” 

Therefore, Henry knew that Spike wouldn’t let him die until the latter had absolute confidence to gain everything that belonged to him. 

Henry figured that Spike wouldn’t let him die for now based on the last time Quinton secretly kidnapped him, which caused him to get admitted to the hospital. 

“Suit yourself. It’s your request anyway. I won’t show mercy. Zachary raised his brows and made it clear to Henry in advance. It was so that the latter wouldn’t hold a grudge against him if he got seriously injured. 

Henry didn’t say anything. He reached out to take the pain relief gel on the table and glanced at it. “Does applying this on your wounds work?” 

“Heh… You’re such a pampered son from a rich family. Having this is good enough. Zachary stretched–out his hand and snatched the pain relief gel, which seemed like a treasured item. 

These medicines were all bought by Josie.. 

“Can you even reach your back?” Henry frowned, wanting to express goodwill. 

Zachary looked at Henry warily. He didn’t trust Henry, let alone allow the other party to apply the gel on his back. 

“Since you can handle it yourself, I’ll leave first. Henry knew that Zachary didn’t trust him. Also, he didn’t want to make a fool of himself. Therefore, he got up and was about to leave. 

“Do… you still believe Ashley is an innocent woman?” Zachary asked while furrowing his brows. 

Henry lowered his head and left without responding 

Zachary thought, “Henry told me that much because he had doubts about Ashley, right? 

Henry sat outside for a long time before returning home. 

Silence filled the courtyard, and the detached villa appeared deserted at night. 

Henry pushed the living room door open and changed his shoes cautiously. He was preparing to take a shower and head to -bed. 

However, once he stepped into the living room, he realized Josie was not in her room. Instead, she was lying on the couch, fast asleep. 

Taking a deep breath, Henry planned to carry Josie back to her bedroom. 

Josie’s hair was still damp. It was apparent that she had cried. 

Jo… Henry whispered while trying to pick her up. 

However, Josie, who was a light sleeper, woke up. 

11:11 Sat, 11 May 

Chapter 162 

Josie sat up anxiously and massaged her temples. “Where have you been?” 

Henry smiled and thought, “She still cares about me, right?” 

Even if Josie had no feelings for Henry anymore, they had been living together for many years. In her eyes, although she didn’t consider him as hér beloved, she regarded him as her kin. 

“I was busy with work… That’s why I’m late.” Henry casually made up an excuse. 

Josie rubbed her temples again. “Really? Cecilia called me.” 

Josie had gotten used to Henry’s lying, and she was already unfazed by it. 

Henry was promptly stunned. He lowered his gaze. “Well…” 

“You don’t have to explain. We already said we wouldn’t interfere in each other’s private life. Josie was only concerned that Spike would harm Henry.
