Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184
Jessica leaned against the railing and smiled at Quinton.
Quinton was stunned as if he couldn’t react for quite a while.
“Did Jessica just offer to end her relationship with me?” he wondered to himself.
Frowning slightly, Quinton somehow felt that he had wanted to say the same thing as well. However, Quinton felt a little mad when he heard those words coming out of Jessica’s mouth stead
“Tell me the reason” Quinton frowned.
I think…I seem to have fallen in love with you.” Jessica’s eyes were red, and her voice way all choked up as she spoke.
It felt as if Quinton’s heart was ruthlessly stabbed by someone. It was a feeling that he had never experienced before.
He felt suffocated and depressed.
She told him that she had fallen in love with him.
And yet, he couldn’t give her anything in return.
Quinton laughed in a slightly sarcastic tone.
Over the years, he never had feelings for anyone, but Jessica was the first person he was emotionally attached to.
She was unique to Quinton and the sole exception in his eyes.
Jessica smiled brightly and kissed Quinton deeply.
Quinton didn’t refuse when she kissed him because they were going to break up after the ship docked on the shore.
He couldn’t give Jessica what she wanted.
Thus, he felt it would be good for her to end their relationship.
In spite of that, he didn’t know why his heart would ache so much.
Quinton carried her into the room and kissed the woman in his arms wildly.
He wished he could just devour her entire body right then and there.
It seemed that he, too, had feelings for Jessica
However, Quinton didn’t dare to admit it.
“Henry was right. I’m just a loser, he scoffed inwardly.
Without Spike’s arrangements and plans, he was practically a useless person.
There was nothing he could do by himself.
But then, he realized that he didn’t want to part with Jessica.
“I can stay unmarried for the rest of my life, but are you willing to follow me?” After drinking the wine Jessica gave him, Quinton felt a little intoxicated
12.09 Wed, May
Chapter 181
He couldn’t believe he would say something like that.
Jessica sat on his lap, tears welling up in her eyes.
How could he drink the wine she handed him without being cautious at all?
In fact, Quinton was a simple and innocent person. He was simply devious and foolish.
“I can’t simply live without a status for the rest of my life.” Jessica smiled.
She leaned over and whispered in his ear, “I’m sorry, Quinton. I’m really sorry.
Jessica’s strained voice began to s ob as she continued to apologize profusely.
Quinton frowned and felt heartbroken. “I can marry you, but you need to give me some time.
He wasn’t sure how long it would take for him to break free from Spike’s clutches.
Eventually, Spike would have to die in front of him, right?
However, it would take a long time for that to happen.
Thus, Quinton didn’t dare to promise Jessica anything.
Jessica’s body stiffened for a moment. She mocked herself inwardly for being too naive.
Or just give me some time to think about it.” Quinton felt a headache coming on. At that moment, he was actually thinking of working with Henry for the sake of the woman in his arms
He felt as if he had gone insane. It was simply a crazy thing for him to do.
What was so good about this woman that she made him have such absurd and outlandish ideas?-
Spike was his father, and he treated him kindly as well.
However, Spike’s kindness was somewhat akin to restraint and imprisonment to Quinton.
“Please don’t hate me for this. Quinton…”
After the couple spent a wild night together, the yacht finally docked on the shore.
Quinton had a headache and couldn’t open his eyes. He felt extremely dizzy the whole night.
“Police! Stay where you are!”
“This is the police!”
A loud commotion could be heard outside the room.
Quinton sat up with a splitting headache.
After getting dressed, Quinton went around to look for Jessica. Unfortunately, she was not in her room.
“Someone reported that there was a drug party on board this ship. Arrest everyone and bring them back to the station!”
“We found it! It’s over here!”
The police managed to discover a huge load of illegal substances on the yacht. Therefore, everyone’s belongings had to be confiscated.

Quinton’s immediate reaction was to protect Jessica since, as an artist, she couldn’t possibly have such a criminal record and scandalous background.
However, Jessica was standing beside the deck and talking to the police.
For a moment, Quinton felt a little dizzy, as if something suddenly exploded in his head.
Jessica looked at Quinton coldly, as if she never knew him before.
Quinton was unable to hear what Jessica was saying and could only see her pointing at him.
Quinton’s thoughts drifted away on the way to the police station as if he had lost his soul.
He had been unfazed even though the cops were right outside the door during Henry’s kidnapping.
At that time, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.
However, this time, he had fallen into someone else’s trap, and that person was Jessica.
“The urine test came back positive for drugs.”
Upon hearing the report, Quinton chuckled manically.
“Jessica… How impressive,” he thought to himself.
He knew clearly what she was trying to do
Even Spike couldn’t bail him out this time.
Even if his father could make bail on his behalf, Quinton would always be saddled with a tarnished reputation and a scandal.
In such a situation, the perfect successor nurtured by Spike was now someone with a dark and scandalous history.
Henry had once told him that if he ruined Spike’s efforts, the latter would no longer treat him kindly as a doting father. would.
It was impossible.
He would become an abandoned child.
In fact, Quinton knew better than anyone that the purpose of Spike sending him abroad for further education and providing him a bright future was not because he was his son.
If Henry was not so stubborn and was willing to change his surname to Taibbi, Quinton wouldn’t have had the chance to have what he was offered.
Spike was not acting out of remorse for Quinton’s mother or a father’s conscience.
He was doing it out of selfishness.
For the first time, Quinton felt scared.
It was an unprecedented fear for him.
He was not worried about his situation. In fact, he was concerned about Jessica instead.
Quinton laughed at himself for being such a pathetic person. Even though she had harmed him up to this point, he was still concerned about her.

Chapter 184
Spike would undoubtedly find out that Jessica had framed Quinton and that she was also a foolish person. “Someone must have taken advantage of her naivety. She has no idea what kind of person Spike is, Quinton thought to himself
Panicking, Quinton pulled the police officer aside and said in a h o a rse voice, “I’d like to make a call. Please let me make a phone call.”
“Don’t move!” The police officer completely ignored Quinton’s request.
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Taibbi? You look like a mess right now. A voice was heard when the door was pushed open. It was Caden, the officer in charge of conducting the investigation into Josie’s parents’ deaths.
“Sergeant Jennings! Can you please do me a favor? Help me, please…” Quinton’s voice was trembling. He didn’t dare to think about what Spike would do to Jessica.
He had also never expected himself to beg a police officer so humbly for Jessica’s sake.
Meanwhile, at Norman Hotel, Spike smacked Hazel across the face with all his might.
Hazel then fell to the ground, the corner of her lips bleeding.
Wiping the blood off her mouth, Hazel sneered, “Who are you to hit me? Is it because I messed around with your people? Spike, you’re a pretty interesting guy. What’s the relationship between us? Besides giving birth to a son for you, there’s nothing else between the both of us. Does that mean I’m not even allowed to touch another man?“
Spike grabbed Hazel’s collar and said, “You can, but you’re not allowed to mess with those around me.”
“Why? I’ve taken a liking to him. So what are you going to do about it? Take my life? Just like how you ended Kathy and Hayden’s lives back then? You’re a lunatic, Spike! Are you a heartless person?”
“Shut up!” Spike became slightly out of control’ upon hearing Hazel mention both Kathy and Hayden’s names,
“What’s wrong? Are you scared? Afraid of me mentioning them? How could I ever forget that you had a crush on There were so many men that liked Kathy, and you simply went berserk because you couldn’t have her. Since y make her yours, you just had to kill her.’ Hazel kept provoking Spike.
Spike slapped her again. “You bitch,”
Laughing sarcastically, Hazel said, “Yes, I am a bitch. But you’re no better than me.”
“Put away your petty mind games. Don’t think I won’t hurt you, Spike warned Hazel.
His phone kept ringing endlessly, and Spike was a little annoyed
“Mr. Taibbi, something happened to Mr. Quinton Taibbi.”
Spike’s face darkened instantly. Subconsciously, he glanced at Hazel and clenched his fingers tightly.
“I’ll spare you for today. Don’t ever try to cross my bottom line again,” Spike warned Hazel as he pointed at her before leaving the hotel.
Hazel sat on the ground and rubbed her cheek with a smile.
It seemed that Jessica had succeeded with her plans.
