Chapter 41
This is Grandpa John’s home. Why can’t I be here?” Samuel raised his eyebrow.
After all, John favored Samuel.
“Breakfast is light today. Do you like it?” Josie didn’t even look at 1tenry. She clenched her fingers nervously, trying to initiate a conversation with Samuel.
It was a desperate attempt at dispelling the panic within her.
“I’m not picky about food.” Samuel took the plate of breakfast from the butler and smiled politely. “Thank you, Arthur
Arthur nodded amicably.
Henry didn’t say much on Arthur’s account, but his fiery gaze remained locked on Josie.
Josie felt the burning pain in her neck, and she couldn’t help recalling the nightmare last night.
“Eat more. Finish this egg as well,” said Samuel. He, too, treated Josie like the apple of his eye.
Josie nodded. At present, she cherished her health more than anything.
Henry was sitting across from Josie, and his face darkened. He thought, “Whenever I told Josie to eat more, she would refuse to do so. She wouldn’t even swallow another mouthful of oatmeal!”
Henry couldn’t believe that Josie would finish the eggs after Samuel coaxed her into doing so.
“Is the milk still hot?” Samuel ignored Henry, and his eyes remained locked on Josie.
Gritting his teeth, Henry threw away the fork in his hand and got up to leave.
Josie took a deep breath and looked at Samuel. “Why did you deliberately annoy him? Aren’t you two good friends?”
“Though they say bros before gals, my beloved is still far more important than him,” said Samuel, sarcastic as ever.
Josie couldn’t help chuckling. Samuel was an amazing person. He was ruthless but at the same time amusing, too,
Hearing Josie’s laughter, Henry stopped and looked back. He clenched his fingers more tightly.
After breakfast, Samuel walked with Josie to the cemetery. Henry had the illusion that he was not included by the two of them, so he left in the car in a huff.
Josie, come home with me tonight. It’s Grandpa John’s death anniversary today, so my grandpa must be in a bad mood,” said Samuel, seeking Josie’s consent.
“Okay.” Josie thought for a while and nodded.
Lewis had been in poor health these years, so Josie thought she should take time to visit him.
“By the way, do help me plead for mercy so that I could go home as soon as possible.” Samuel blinked at Josie.
Josie breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Samuel didn’t deliberately decide to be her neighbor. He was probably driven out of his home and had nowhere to go.
“The Turner family has so many hotels and properties. Why do you have to… live in a rental apartment?” Josie asked.
“Actually, not only did I cook my grandpa’s turtle, but I also refused to get married when my family forced me to do so. Hence, they froze all my property and kicked me out of the house, Samuel said miserably.

Chapter 41
“It’s time for you to get married.” Josie smiled. “You should give Grandpa Lewis a grandchild soon.”
“Why are you like my mom?” Samuel frowned. “I’ve been like this since I was a child. No woman wants to marry me. How about you do me a favor and pretend to be my girlfriend to shut my grandpa up?”
Josie suddenly stopped walking, and her palms were sweating,
“You can’t lie about this Love and marriage were both important events in life.
“Look at me. I’m so pathetic. You are my only female friend,” Samuel said resentfully.
Josie thought about it carefully and affirmed that Samuel truly did not have any other female friends.
Not long after graduating from college, Josie and Henry got married. Samuel had been studying abroad for three years and had just returned home some time ago. He indeed had no friends in Chanaea.
At the entrance of the cemetery, Henry interrupted their conversation coldly, “Are you two done talking?”
Samuel frowned and looked at Henry. The atmosphere between them was a grim one.
Josie walked past Henry directly, and they did not talk to each other.
Just stop, Henry. You’ve divorced Josie, and you said you don’t love her anymore. Why are you trying to interfere now?” said Samuel in a low voice, approaching Henry.
“As I said, anyone can approach her except for you, Henry replied and looked at Samuel coldly.
“Henry Gibson!” Samuel grabbed Henry’s collar.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and neither of them would
KIVE
Samuel’s eyes darkened as he pushed Henry away, refusing to concern himself with the latter. “Josie is free to choose who to be with. It has nothing to do with you since the moment you decided to divorce her.”
Henry stood still, and his expression clouded over.
He shouldn’t have agreed to the divorce.
After leaving the cemetery, Samuel was still by Josie’s side.
Henry’s car passed by them without stopping.
Josie fixed her gaze ahead. She watched Henry leave and disappear from her sight.
Samuel subconsciously caressed Josie’s hair. “Get some rest. I’m right across the street. Call me if you need anything
Josie glanced at Samuel’s house which was still under renovation and smiled helplessly. “You’re a clean freak, right? I’m sorry you had to live here.”
“Your house is still not fully equipped with furniture. Why don’t you come to my house first?” Seeing how pitiful Samuel looked while he was standing outside the door, Josie didn’t have the heart to leave him out there.
Samuel smiled as he watched Josie walk into the room while yawning. “She isn’t vigilant at all,” he thought.
Leaning lazily on the couch, Samuel took out his mobile phone and sent a triumphant emoji to his family group on WhatsApp.
Nina replied, (That’s amazing. That’s my brother.]
Leila then responded, [You can do it, Samuel. My brother is the only one who could Henry’s woman.]
George said, [I would have had a grandchild now if my son didn’t speak.]
Samuel smiled and sent a message, [The revolution hasn’t succeeded yet. I need to work harder. I’ll take her home tonight. You all need to get ready. I’m counting on you!]
Samuel was speechless.
After a long time, a voice message appeared in the group chat saying. “Hey, brat, don’t come home if you’re not bringing her with you!”
