Meanwhile, at the Turner residence.
Seeing that Josie was still in the courtyard and had not entered the house, Samuel was a little worried. "Jo, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Zachary... Something happened to Zachary," said Josie. She did not hide that information from Samuel. "I'm meeting Henry at the coffee shop at Santalum Alley. Would you like to accompany me?" Josie asked.
Samuel felt an itch within him. He was elated that Josie had told him about all those.
Moreover, when Josie mentioned Henry, she seemed indifferent.
Actually, Samuel had thought that it did not matter even if Josie never fell in love with him for the rest of her life, or if she never forgot Henry. Samuel felt contented even if Josie merely relied on him.
However, Samuel saw hope when he looked into Josie's eyes.
Samuel wondered, "Can Josie love me the way she used to love Henry?"
"Okay, I'll go with you." Samuel pulled Josie into his arms. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the courtyard, Samuel tried to kiss Josie.
Josie blushed and said cautiously, "What are you doing... Your family is inside the house."
Samuel snorted. "So what? I'm merely kissing my own girlfriend."
Josie looked up at Samuel. When she mentioned Henry just now, she noticed that there was still a look of panic in Samuel's eyes.
"He is so unconfident of himself!" Josie thought.
"Samuel, are you not aware of what an outstanding man you are?" Josie asked with a smile.
"Am I?" Samuel held Josie tightly. "Then why didn't you fall in love with me earlier?" he asked.
"I'm the one who isn't good enough, but I feel that after being with you, I've become increasingly outstanding." Josie chuckled and joked with Samuel.
"Ahem!" Leila came out to make a phone call and saw Samuel and Josie acting lovey-dovey and hugging each other. Leila remarked, "How wonderful! A couple who's in their honeymoon phase."
"We'll be deeply in love with one another for the rest of our lives," Samuel retorted to Leila.
"Sam, when you behave like this, I suspect that you're trying to urge me to get into a romantic relationship of my own. And I have the evidence that you guys are trying to make others jealous." Leila snorted, looked at her ringing phone, and went to the side to answer the phone.
Mandy had been eating all that while, and she would eat fruits even after she was done with her meal.
Josie was curious. "Mandy, aren't you a model? Won't you be afraid of becoming fat if you eat so much?"
"She says that she won't get fat no matter how much she eats." Samuel raised his eyebrow.
"How enviable." Josie cast an envious gaze at Mandy.
"What happened to Zachary?" Samuel asked.
Samuel spoke for a bit with his family and then left with Josie.
"Ashley called me and told me to ask Henry, but Henry said that it's difficult to explain it over the phone." Josie glanced at Samuel carefully. "Do you mind that I contacted Henry?" she asked.
Samuel shook his head. "As you said, even though you guys are already divorced, Henry is still part of the Gibson family, and you're still one family."
Samuel was not bothered by it. Moreover, as long as it had something to do with Henry, Josie would particularly care about his feelings.
Samuel enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by Josie.
Josie carefully held onto Samuel's finger. "Will you feel aggrieved if you have to accompany me to take public transport or squeeze into the crowded subway?" asked Josie.
"I like to take the subway." Samuel had an arrogant look on his face and easily made up a lie.
"But I don't like it. Every time you take the subway, there will be beautiful women coveting you. I will be jealous." Josie thought for a while. "Love has to go both ways," she thought.
Josie could not allow Samuel to be the only one giving in and sacrificing.
"I'm thinking... If you drive, can the passenger seat beside yours be my exclusive seat?" Josie asked.
Josie took a deep breath. If the driver was Samuel, she would be willing to sit in the passenger seat beside him.
Samuel stopped walking suddenly and stared at Josie with an intense look in his eyes. "Jo... If you want, my passenger seat will only belong to you." Samuel kissed Josie, stopping her from continuing what she wanted to say.
Josie blushed and lowered her head. "Why are you... Why do you keep wanting to kiss me?" she asked.
She felt that Samuel was like a child.
