Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering by Susie Cecillia novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 

Josie fled the Gibson residence in desperation. 

Henry did not stop Josie because he expected her to return. 

For the first time, Henry hoped Josie would not return. 

If Josie made a deal with Samuel because of the Turner family, it could only mean that she had fallen in love with him. 

Henry was lying on the couch, his heart pounding. 

Reluctantly, he refused to acknowledge Josie’s feelings for Samuel. 

Josie had always remained by his side. 

He was completely perplexed and unsure how to express his feelings at the time. 

Something that had always been close to him suddenly vanished. 

Even if he trapped Josie beside him, he couldn’t compensate for the sense of separation between them. 

It would only make them colder to each other and drive them further apart. 

Meanwhile, Josie chose to visit her rental apartment rather than Samuel. She didn’t know how to approach him. 

Jo?” 

Josie hid in the safe passage and dialed Samuel’s number. 

When Samuel received the call, he answered the phone instantly. Obviously, Samuel had been waiting for Josie’s call. 

“Is it true, Samuel, that Henry wants to demolish Santalum Alley and the Gibson residence?” Josie had to force herself to 

calm down. 

“Did he threaten you with it?” Samuel was a little nervous. He tried to reassure Josie, “Don’t worry. My grandfather stated that he would have someone negotiate with Henry. He’ll take care of it for you.” 

“I’m just…” Josie couldn’t bring herself to say anything else. She simply did not want to be involved with Henry any longer. 

Deep down, she didn’t believe Henry’s phony remarriage at all. 

Henry was n 

nothing more than a liar. All he knew was threatening others, and he had no intention of changing his v 

ways. 

Jo, I’m going to spend the night at the Turner residence. You, too, should get some rest. Be good, Samuel advised Josie, telling her not to worry. He would do his best to resolve the situation. 

“Samuel, the old house means a lot to Grandpa… Josie curled up in the corner, helpless. 

“Yes, but you’re more important. He stated that it makes no difference if the negotiations with Henry fail. He’s already old, so he doesn’t care about it.” Samuel did his best to console Josie so that she would not be threatened by Henry as a result of 

those events. 

“Please believe me. Nothing matters more than your happiness. Samuel spoke up again when he noticed Josie was silent. He added, “Get plenty of rest. Everything will be fine.” 

After hanging up the phone, Josie hugged herself and remained silent for a long time.

Even if Samuel claimed that Lewis didn’t care, it was impossible that he truly didn’t care. 

Henry hard always been good at reading other people’s minds. 

After Josie took the key from under the mat, she opened the door of the rental apartment from outside. 

As Zachary was a very vigilant person, he could instantly detect any sign of movement. 

When he saw that Josie was the one standing outside the door, they both felt a little embarrassed. 

Josie’s eyes were still a little red, and she appeared to have just cried. 

When Zachary became aware of that, he was at a loss for words. 

“Did I disturb you?” Josie asked softly. 

“No. This is your home. Zachary hurriedly stepped away from the door and let Josie in. 

In an instant, Josie hid on the couch and curled up her legs. 

Then, Zachary poured a cup of warm water for her. “What’s the matter? Did something happen?” Zachary inquired. 

“No.” Josie shook her head. 

Hearing that, Zachary didn’t ask more. 

“Are you accustomed to living here?” Josie hurriedly changed the subject in order to alleviate their embarrassment. 

When Josie decided to go there, she completely forgot that Zachary was also residing in the rental apartment. 

Nonetheless, she couldn’t tell Zachary that she had only gone there because she had forgotten he lived there. 

“Yes,” Zachary replied briefly. After all, he had slept beneath the bridge during his most difficult period. There would be no place he couldn’t get used to living. 

“I’m here to pick up something. I’ll leave right away afterward” Josie was afraid of disturbing Zachary, so she got up and quickly rummaged through something before leaving 

“It’s getting late. It is not safe to go outside right now. You should spend the night here. I’m heading out now.” Zachary spoke quietly as he put on a cap and a mask before leaving. 

“Where are you going now that it’s so late?” Josie was slightly worried. 

“There are some issues I need to address,” Zachary said nothing further. He was worried that Josie would be embarrassed to be with him alone. 

Aside from that, he was a little nervous about staying in the same room as Josie. 

Every time he was alone with Josie, his heart would race. 

“Please return as soon as possible. I’ll be leaving soon,” Josie promised. 

Hearing that, Zachary nodded. 

After Zachary left, Josie stood up and looked at the house. Zachary never seemed to touch anything he didn’t need to touch. and everything he touched seemed to return to its original state almost instantly. It appeared as if no one had ever lived 

there. 

Chapter 138 

The night in Hofcaster was bitterly cold. 

Zachary wandered aimlessly around the riverbank, waiting for Josie to leave before returning. 

He simply didn’t know how to deal with Josie 

Ten years ago, he felt guilty and had been protecting her for ten years. In the end, he would prefer that Josie never learned the truth and knew nothing about him until the day he died. 

He was the type of person who was both rotten and unworthy. He had no idea when or how he was going to die. 

Allowing Josie to remember the incident would only add to her burden. 

Even though he could persuade himself, he couldn’t stop himself from meeting Josie on the spur of the moment and even living at her house. 

Thinking of that, Zachary sighed and lit a cigarette with trembling fingers. 

“I can’t go on like this. I shouldn’t have any other thoughts or feelings for her,” he reasoned. 

After that. Zachary discarded the cigarette butt in the trash can after finishing the cigarette. 

Then, Zachary paused for a moment, allowing the cold breeze to caress him, before deciding to sleep on the bench. Initially, he decided not to return to Josie’s rental house in the future. 

Nonetheless, he wanted to pay her a visit and did so. 

When Zachary opened the door, he was stunned for a moment.
