Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 276

Henry wasn't happy about Hazel's death.

He thought he would feel much better after all these years of hating Hazel and Spike.

But it was a shame that he didn't feel so.

Henry rushed all the way and almost crashed several times. Finally, he stopped on the coastal highway and punched the steering wheel hard.

He was silently venting.

His life seemed like a joke.

From his birth, he was doomed to be a chess piece.

Hazel realized Henry was worthless since Spike didn't want him, so Hazel cruelly abandoned him and left him at the orphanage.

If John didn't take him from the orphanage, Henry couldn't even imagine what would happen to his life.

He would most likely be weak.

Opening the door, Henry got out of the car and felt the breeze. He felt a sudden ache in his heart.

He took the cigarette with his numb finger but couldn't light up the lighter, no matter how many times he tried.

He knew everything was coming to an end.

By then, he would have to leave Josie. There would no longer be a reason to keep her there anymore.

Henry smiled bitterly and took a deep puff of the cigarette.

Truth be told, he didn't need to use marriage as an excuse to keep Josie.

He could have even let her go and given her freedom.

However, he was selfish and stubborn and refused to divorce her.

But he didn't deserve it at all. He wouldn't have done this if he had found out earlier that Josie was so important to him.

After getting off the road, Henry walked to the seaside.

The sand was soft underneath his feet, and the sea breeze was strong.

He remembered the first year he married Josie. Josie had asked him, "Henry... Can we go to the beach tomorrow? We'll go to a place where no one will find us, okay?"

She pleaded with tears and clasped her hand together to beg for his approval.

But he refused because he was too busy with his work.

Later, he realized that it was the death anniversary of Hayden and Kathy.

Josie liked the seaside, the beach, and the shells.

He knew it from Samuel.

He only knew that Samuel was madly jealous and defensive of him, but he ignored that he had never taken care of or spoiled Josie.

He thought everything he had done was for Josie's own good.

He ignored her and didn't care about her feelings until he completely lost her.

When he reached the sea, the waves hit the sand and wet his legs. Henry didn't stop and took a few more steps forward. He returned to his senses until the seawater was over his lower legs.

Henry received a call from his men. "Mr. Gibson, another body was found in the Resettlement Area... The police have investigated this matter, and the situation does not seem to be promising. I guess it may have something to do with Ashley and Thomas."

"There's no running away from their own sin," Henry said coldly.

"Sergeant Jennings asked you to come to the police station. Spike took Zachary to Frontier Bay. There's action there."

Henry's eyes darkened.

Caden asked Henry to go to the police station because he feared that Henry would do something impulsively.

Henry turned around and walked back to the car. He stepped on the accelerator, turned back at Seaside Highway, and drove toward Frontier Bay.

As long as Spike's guilt was confirmed, everything would end.
