Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 5

Josie didn't say anything and got out of bed quietly.

"Are you being discharged today? Where is your husband? Why is he not here with you?" The patient in the bed next to her was a kind-hearted woman who had experienced a second miscarriage, but she was very optimistic.

"You talk too much," the woman's husband complained, but he wasn't really angry at her. Instead, he massaged her legs while he talked.

Josie looked at them quietly, and her eyes turned red.

Maybe, that was the ordinary and warm marriage she envied.

Josie felt chilly at her back so tightened her coat instinctively.

Meanwhile, a party livened up Sky Villa of Hofcaster.

"Mr. Gibson, Ashley is a newcomer with great potential. Don't worry! She will have a promising future in Hofcaster with you looking out for her."

At the table, Henry was looking at his phone all the time. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.

His assistant sent a message saying that Josie wanted to be discharged from the hospital today.

Ashley, who was sitting beside Henry, smiled shyly and felt a little embarrassed. "Henry, I'll drink it for you."

"Ashley is like a younger sister to me. I hope you will look after her for me in the future," Henry explained. Apparently, those directors had misunderstood his relationship with Ashley.

Ashley's hand holding the glass stiffened for a moment, and she smiled awkwardly. "Henry has always taken good care of me."

"Mr. Gibson sacrificed a lot for Ashley's fame." Thomas, Ashley's manager, smiled and signaled Ashley to toast Henry. "Ashley, raise a glass to Mr. Gibson."

Henry frowned slightly and thought of Josie's lifeless face lying on the bed.

Henry rubbed his temples and lit a cigarette. "You guys drink first. I have something to deal with."

He should've gone over when Josie was discharged from the hospital.

"Henry..." Ashley panicked. It was her birthday, and she deliberately invited those people who were valuable to her in Hofcaster to the party. If Henry left now, it would make her look bad.

Ashley chased after Henry outside the private room. When she saw nobody around, she whispered, "Did Mrs. Gibson misunderstand?"

Henry was briefly stunned. He felt strange about the title, "Mrs. Gibson".

"It's your birthday. Have fun." With that, Henry looked at the time and left quickly.

Ashley was disappointed, and her eyes reddened in an instant.

She felt wronged. She wanted Henry to accompany her, but she knew very well that Henry didn't belong to her.
