Chapter 160
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 160 âSnowâs case is a bit special. Jeremy is a teacher, and his wife passed away early. He took a son to live with him. Although he was not rich, they were able to live well. Jeremy wanted to have a daughter, so he adopted Ashley. The dean felt a little sorry- for them. Unfortunately, something bad happened... The police arrested him, saying that he was suspected of assaulting an underage girl. He was imprisoned and his reputation was ruined.
However, in my impression, he was not that kind of person When this happened, we were all shocked. As it turns out, we shouldnât judge a book by its cover.â
âDo you really believe this?â asked Josie, glancing at the dean. âDid she mention this because she has some doubts in her heart?â Josse wondered.
âAt first, we, his old classmates, were indeed shocked. We were angry, and we condemned him. Later, the Womenâs Union. and the charity sent Ashley back. We were all worried that Ashley would have been traumatized by the ordeal, so we took good care of her. Nevertheless, she was very calm. Ashley even discussed the next adoption with me and how much that family needed to have in assets to fulfill her criteria,â the dean said.
âI can understand why she wonât want to stay with a poor family after such a traumatic incident. However, one day, I forgot my car keys. When I went back to my office, I found Ashley peeking at the files on my computer. The dean let out a sigh.
She paused a while and continued. âMaybe the sound of the door being opened startled her. As such, Ashley escaped. I turned on the computer and found that the information about Henryâs adoption was on the browsing page.â
Joue nodded. She could infer that Ashley approached Henry on purpose and had been planning it for a long time.
âYou can ask this person. She is a psychiatrist, and Ashley is very close to her. A few years ago, she suddenly got rich and severed all ties with us, her old friends. Just then, the dean handed a business card to Josie.
âI suspect that her money has something to do with Ashley. As a matter of fact, ten years ago, Henry came back to see me once. I recommended that he go to her for psychological counseling,â added the dean.
Josie listened quietly to everything the dean said. âThe dean must have found something out. Thatâs why she said so much today. Otherwise, I doubt sheâd have spoken to me for so long, she thought.
Jeremy was probably Zacharyâs father. The dean and Jeremy were friends, and she had long suspected it âYou know who Zachary is, right?â Josie asked in a low voice.
The deanâs expression changed as she hesitated. âWhat?â
âItâs nothing. Josie smiled at the dean. She knew that the latter was protecting Zachary, âIâll keep what you said in mind. Thank you.â Josie did not say anything more as she left with the business card.
Today, she had uncovered a lot.
To ensure the deanâs safety, she could not ask too many questions. Josie also could not linger for too long.
After leaving the orphanage, Josie did not go home. Instead, she went to the Gibson residence.
Josic did not know why she wanted to come back. She felt sad and the feeling was indescribable.
Henry was adopted by the Gibson family at the age of eight. It was not his fault that Henry could not learn how to love someone because of what he had experienced in the orphanage.
âIt was all my fault, Josie thought It was indeed all her fault. She was selfârighteous, insisting that Henry did love her. Josie even begged John to force Henry to 1/3 11:10 Sat, 11 May Chapter 160 marry her After that, Josie eventually forced herself to give up.
Now, she had a better understanding of Henryâs hardship but she did not love him anymore.
Josie stared at the courtyard quietly as she sat on the swing.
The Gibson residence, which used to be lively, was now so quiet.
Her family and the people Josie cared about were all gone.
Joâ Just then, a voice broke the silence..
The door was pushed open. Henry stood at the door and was stunned for a moment.
Josieâs heart skipped a beat. She did not expect such a coincidence. âWhy are you here?â
Tcame by to have a look. Henry walked toward Josie and squatted in front of her. Jo, are you homesick?â
Stunned by Henryâs question, Josie did not say a word.
âI was afraid that it would bring back memories if you stayed here. If youâd like to... let me take you back to Reef Village, okay?â Henry asked in a low voice.
Josie clenched her fingers that held onto the swing. After a long while, she shook her head. âSamuel took me there already.â
Henryâs eyes darkened as he lowered his head without saying anything-
âWas Loo late, after all?â he wondered.
During the time Josie loved him the most, he did not take it seriously. Now, it seemed too late to redeem himself.
âWhat would you like to eat tonight? Let me take you out, Henry whispered as he held Josieâs fingers. âYou mentioned the restaurant that sold crab cake near the hospital. If itâs hygienic, letâs eat there.â
In fact, Henry thought that the food prepared by others was not hygienic.
When he was a child, people found Henry to be quite likable. Many volunteers liked him very much and would often buy him food when they were around. The children in the orphanage were jealous of him and would put worms and stones into the food.
Since then, Henry was traumatized enough to assume that anything not prepared at home was unhygienic.
âI donât want to go. Iâve already taken Samuel there.â Josie looked away, and there were tears in her eyes..
Henry was silent for a long time. He did not know what else to say.
Henry tried his best to make things up to Josie, but he never thought Josie would be so determined.
Josie was persistent when she loved him, and she was even more so when she no longer loved him.
It seemed that Josie was the one who had the final say when it came to love.
âJo...â Henryâs voice was hoarse. He held Josieâs fingers more tightly. âWell, can we retake our wedding photos, then?â
Seeing that Josie wanted to refuse, Henry said nervously, âSpike must have guessed that we didnât really mean to remarry, so he didnât make a move yet. I want to make our relationship public.
Chapter 160 Henry stared at Josie intensely and added, âBesides, just consider it as making up for the three years of marriage we shared. What do you say?â
Josie lowered her head and did not refuse. âOkay...â
With a slight smile, Henfy got up to hold Josie. âLetâs go home.â
âHenry, I went to the Sacred Heart Orphanage today,â Josie said.
Meanwhile, Henry parked his car in the Gibson residence and took the subway with Josie.
After walking out of the subway station, Josie whispered again, âAshley was there too.â
Henry halted his footsteps and said nothing.
âIf Ashley is really heinous, will you show mercy to her?â Josie wanted to know what Henry thought about this.
If she wanted to deal with Ashley, she had to somehow consider Henry.
âIf she is heinous and violates the law, then sheâll reap what she sows. She will be punished by the law, and I wonât interfere.â Henry looked at Josie as he stood in front of her. âJo... No matter what you want to do, donât worry. Just do it.â
Josie was stunned. She did not expect that Henry would support her in dealing with Ashley.
âAre you sure?â she asked. âIs he not obsessed with Ashley anymore?â Josie thought.
âI understand now. But am I too late? In my heart, thereâs nobody more important to me than you are.â Henry had realized.
this too late.
Since he knew that Josie was sick, he truly felt distressed.
Once, he was truly fearless.
Upon hearing that, Josie, looked down with tears in her eyes.
âHenry, in the past... I often passed by here. Whether I was taking a bus or the subway, I often saw your car passing by me, and you never stopped,â
Josie murmured.

âYou know what? No matter what the reason is, once the heart gets cold, it will freeze,â Josie said, thoughtfully. âAfter the heart freezes, it will become numb.
She once told Henry things did not turn out to be this way overnight. âWeâve all had faults in this marriage. Iâm reflecting on my faults as well. I kept saying I love you, but I never thought of really getting to know you. Youâre the same. Youâre doing what you want to make things up to me now, but in those years when I needed you the most, you were too cold to me. In fact, if you had given me a single sliver of hope, or even a glance, I might have been able to persevere.â
