Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 250

Nina looked at Leonardo in shock. "What he said was true? He wasn't lying? So, it's true that he had fallen for me back when I was still doing my academic research abroad? Then why didn't he pursue me earlier and wasted so many years for nothing instead? I can't believe him..." she thought.

Her heartbeat accelerated a little. For the first time in her life, Nina truly understood how it felt to be embarrassed.

When she was with Gabriel, she felt that since she was getting older, it was time to reassure her family that she had somebody by her side. Otherwise, her grandfather would be worried.

Besides, her grandfather became seriously ill that year, and the doctor announced that he was critically ill. Everyone in the Turner family thought that Lewis would not be able to survive, and Lewis said that his wish was that Nina and her three siblings would get married soon.

As the eldest sister among her siblings, Nina naturally had to set an example and lead by example.

Later, Lewis was bound to a wheelchair for a long time. Nina was also afraid that her grandfather would always be worried about them.

Then, she met Gabriel. He was sweet with his words and obedient at first. He came from a poor family background and was easy to control. She didn't expect that she was inviting trouble for herself instead.

Fortunately, she didn't suffer any losses in the few years they were married. She only lost some money and was angry, but she didn't let him take advantage of her body at all.

In fact, even if they had consummated their marriage, Nina still wouldn't care.

Society was still too harsh on women. While it seemed acceptable for a man to have many women, a woman could only have one man.

However, it seemed that Leonardo didn't care either, as he didn't know about all this back when he made her get the marriage certificate with him.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I will treat Nina well in the future. I will help her to bear her burden, accompany her, protect her, and be her support. Don't worry." Leonardo took the monetary gifts from Lewis and Nina's parents and addressed them as his own family.

"Okay, good," Lewis smiled with satisfaction. He hit it off like old friends with Leonardo's father as well.

George came back slightly late. As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed here in a hurry. Only after he arrived did he realize he knew Leonardo's father.

"Oh, Mr. Langford, what a coincidence!"

George was shocked.

Leonardo's father also leaped to his feet in shock and shook hands with George. "What a coincidence! Our collaboration was three years ago, wasn't it? If we had known that we would one day become in-laws, then we would definitely have kept in touch no matter what."

George nodded in agreement. "Yes, this is fate indeed!"

The entire family couldn't be happier.

Josie was also happy for Nina and sat at the table, holding Samuel's hand tightly.

"Do you want to get a monetary gift too?" Samuel asked with a smile as if he was tempting her.

Josie smiled. "No..."

"Don't lie. As long as you change the way you address the elders, you will receive monetary gifts from them too," Samuel continued, tempting her.

"Oh..." Josie turned to look at Samuel. "But... you'll suffer losses. Look, Nina received monetary gifts, and Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner also gave Leonardo monetary gifts. However, if I receive monetary gifts from your family, no one... will give you any."

Josie feigned light-heartedness as she spoke, but in fact, her voice was trembling.

She merely felt it was unfair that she had no one.

There was no one in her family.

Samuel's heart tightened instantly, and he regretted asking the question.

He reached out and pulled Josie into his arms, disregarding the fact that there were so many elders around.

Josie sat up straight in panic.

"It doesn't matter. I'll ask for a monetary gift from Henry. He is a member of the Gibson family, meaning he's a member of your family. If he doesn't give it to me, I won't spare him." Samuel gritted his teeth.

Josie was amused by Samuel. "Do you have to be so cruel?"

Although Henry was indeed a member of the Gibson family, he was still her ex-husband.

If Josie and Samuel got married and had to ask Josie's ex-husband for a monetary gift, that would seem really mean to the latter.

Samuel was relieved when he saw Josie laughing.

In the suburbs, in a shabby warehouse, Ashley was bruised all over, and her clothes were torn and ragged. She lay on the dirty and messy bed as if she had lost her soul, and her tears had dried up.

No matter how she cried and shouted, those people wouldn't let her go.

They were all Spike's men, and all of them were crazy.
