Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82
Josie walked back with Samuel and muttered in a low voice, “The weather is pretty good during the day. Why is it raining all
of a sudden now?”
Samuel was always willing to accompany Josie to do anything she liked.
“Let’s run?” Samuel smiled and took off his coat to cover Josie’s head.
“No, you’ve caught a cold!” Josie shook her head nervously.
“Aren’t you going to take care of me when I’m sick?” Samuel was as happy as a kid that day.
Josie looked helpless. “Aren’t you the one who feels uncomfortable being sick?”
“I’d love to.” Samuel was used to retorting.
Josie was always amused by Samuel. There was a reason why he still couldn’t find a girlfriend until then.
“Mr. Turner, I work as a star agent in Clusia Media Group. Can I sign you as an artist?” Samuel was suitable for standing there as an idol in silence.
“Ahem…” Samuel almost choked.
As the founder of Clusia Media Group, how could he be an artist? He responded, “No… No, I don’t have much talent.”
Josie covered her mouth and chuckled.
Samuel looked at Josie quietly. As long as she was happy, the air seemed to be fresh.
It turned
out that you would always want to make someone you loved laugh all the time.
Besides the first time Samuel saw Josie by the sea, Samuel never saw Josie smile from the bottom of her heart.
After the reunion of the Gibson family, Josie seemed to have become a different person, filled with haze and sadness, like a layer of smoke that would drift away at any time, which made Samuel nervous and afraid for no reason.
Even if Josie wouldn’t choose him in the end, it didn’t matter as long as he could bring Josie short happiness.
“Your name is Josie? My name is Samuel. I’ll protect you from now on,” said Samuel,
The first time they met each other at the Gibson residence, Samuel was so excited that he didn’t have a word with Josie all night.
Their first conversation was when the first time Josie stepped into the school after a long period of depression.
John said that Josie had locked herself in her room after her parents died and didn’t talk to anyone for half a year.
Samuel often went to the Gibson residence, wanting to see Josie every time, but Josie hid in a corner every time, like a rabbit who was aggravated.
He wanted to hug Josie in his arms, comfort her, and tell her that he would protect her.
“Henry…” But Josie hid behind Henry as if she had been frightened.
At that time, Josie relied most on Henry and only on him.

She would only follow Henry everywhere he went.
“Jo is timid. Don’t scare her.” Henry smiled at Samuel and protected Josie.
At that time, Samuel felt that Henry’s smile was dazzling as if the latter was showing off.

“Josie, can you stop being so timid? What are you afraid of? Who would dare to bully you when you have so many people protecting you?” Samuel wanted to attract Josie’s attention, but it was counterproductive every time.
Josie was afraid of him.
Until three years ago, Josie was always afraid of Samuel.
That was because Samuel was quite mean that he liked to argue with people. He poked Josie to the core every time.
Hiding under the eaves to be sheltered from the rain, Josie seemed to remember the past and chuckled.
Samuel’s heart tightened inexplicably. Josie’s smile could always touch his heart.
“I used to be afraid of you.” Josie looked up at Samuel.
However, she seemed to be no longer afraid of him.
“Am I that scary?” Samuel pouted and turned to look elsewhere.
He was a little displeased.
“You used to like to quarrel with others.” Josie took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “But I’m not afraid now…”
Samuel turned around suddenly.
“Samuel…” Josie stared into the distance. “Don’t spoil me. I’m not as good as you think. I’ll push my luck…”

“Then, I’ll spoil you to the extent that no one would dare to take advantage of you, spoiled that no one can tolerate your bad behavior except me.” Samuel looked at Josie meaningfully and clenched his fingers slowly.
Suddenly, a few barks came from the garbage heap, breaking the stagnation in the air.
Josie subconsciously turned around and took a few steps to the garbage heap.
Samuel followed, picked up the branches on the ground, and lifted the abandoned carton. In the innermost corner, there was an abandoned puppy.
Josie’s heart tightened, and she looked at Samuel nervously.
“Little one, you’re so lucky.” Samuel smiled and made up his mind. “The puppy will freeze to death if we leave it here.”
Josie was a little nervous. She really liked puppies. “But we don’t have time to take care of it if we take it back.”
“I’ll take care of it. I have a lot of time.” Samuel smiled. With that little guy, Josie would have to pay attention to it.
He could rely on the puppy to get her attention.
Josie bit her lips. “Well… Let’s take it home, then…”
“Let’s go, little one.” Samuel picked up the carton.
Josie’s palms were sweating. If it were Henry, even if the puppy died on the road, he would never allow her to take it home.

“I brought a puppy back when I first returned to my grandpa’s house. I liked it very much…” Josie had created a bond with the puppy, but Henry sent it away behind her back.
“What happened later?” Samuel asked.
“Later… Arthur secretly sent it away.” Josie smiled bitterly.

Samuel was silent for a long time. It was as if he was talking to the puppy when he finally said, “I’ll be responsible once I take you home. I won’t send you away.”
Jósie looked at Samuel for a long time and followed quickly.
“Let’s bring it for injection tomorrow.” Josie ran while looking at the little one in the carton. It was so cute and white, and his ears were straightened up.
“Okay, we’ll go tomorrow when you get off work,” said Samuel.
“Okay!” Josie responded.
Down the stairs of the rented place, a black figure stood in the corner, watching Josie and Samuel go upstairs.
Under the cap, the scar was particularly dazzling.
Henry didn’t go back to his place but went to the Gibson residence.
“You’re back, Mr. Gibson.” Arthur greeted him in a coat. “Where is Ms. Yates?”
Henry clenched his fingers and looked at the time. “She’s busy with her work and should be back tomorrow.”
“It’s already eight o’clock. She’s so busy,” Arthur said casually, and his back looked exceptionally lonely.
The cup that Arthur held fell to the ground with a bang.
“Arthur!” Henry was a little worried and got up quickly.
“It’s fine. I’m old… and useless.” Arthur waved his hand with trembling fingers. Before he could finish his words, his vision faded, and he fell to the ground.
“Arthur!” shouted Henry.
In Hofcaster Hospital, Henry sat in the emergency room, looking disheveled. He knew Arthur was old, but he seldom went home after the divorce.
He didn’t dare to let Arthur know that he and Josie had divorced for fear that Arthur could not stand it.
Henry had been adopted by the Gibson family at the age of eight. John was busy with work and didn’t have much time to raise him. He was raised by Arthur.
Arthur was like a father to Henry.
“Henry! How is Arthur?” Around nine o’clock, Josie ran to the hospital in a panic.
She didn’t pick up the phone when Henry called her, and the housekeeper from the Gibson residence called her before she knew that something had happened to Arthur.
Josie sounded anxious, and she was a little panicked.
Henry looked up and glanced at Josie, and all his panic seemed to be supported at that moment.

“Jo…” Henry stretched out his hand to pull Josic, held her tightly in his arms, and sobbed.
At that moment, Henry realized that Josie was not dispensable to him.
Josie was very important to Henry.
