Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 31

When he was discharged home, Josie gathered the courage to call Henry.

She figured if she wanted to live on, she had to work. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She did not have to be in Dahon Corporation, but she did not have time to change her job and start over again.

450 thousand dollars was just a small amount for Henry. It would cost this much to even throw Ashley a birthday party.

But for Josie, it could save her life..

She had to rely on money to survive.

Thinking of this, Josie felt funny. Since John took her home, she felt no sense of existence.

When John died, she did not want anything. After the divorce, she left the marriage with nothing.

Josie suddenly felt like a fool as she evaluated her current circumstances.

Nonetheless, all those things were not hers. She did not want them.

She did not know what she was proud of. Maybe she had never come out of the trauma of her parents.

On the day of the car accident, they were going to drive back to the Gibson residence.

That day, John took the initiative to call Hayden and said that he wanted to have a family gathering,

That day, Hayden happily told Josie’s mother that John’s attitude had eased a lot. Perhaps it would not take long for John to really accept Josie and her mother.

Yet, before they reached the Gibson residence, they had a car accident on the way.

Josie always thought, “If my father had completely cut off from the Gibson family and did not contact Grandpa John, maybe he wouldn’t have died.”

Before John died, he took Josie’s hand and asked her, “Jo, do you still hate me?”

Josie did not speak. Indeed, she still hated him.

“Jo, if there’s anything that you need… John wanted to leave some legacy for his granddaughter, but Josie rejected it.

“If Dad doesn’t want it, then neither do 1, she said.

“The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment.”

Josie sat on the couch numbly. Henry did not answer her phone.

Josie’s fingers trembled, and she was a little unwilling to accept it.

But after she called three times, Henry directly blocked her.

Josie breathed heavily. After a long time, she slowly closed her eyes.

Her tears burned her eyes, and Josie could not even control herself.

“Josie!” Outside the window, someone was calling her name.

After wiping her tears, Josie got up and walked to the window.

Chapter 81.

It was Madelyní.

Maddy, your work… Josle opened the door and took the fruit from Madelyn, feeling a little guilty.

I’m sure I can find a place that I belong to. I have iny own skills. I can find a job wherever I go. Madelyn looked proud.

Looking around, Madelyn was trembling. “Jo, didn’t you say you wanted an air conditioner? It’s been so long already!”

Josie was stunned for a moment and smiled.

She thought, “I don’t think I can install the air conditioner anymore. I have to save money.”

From now on, she had to save every penny.

“Where have you been these past two days? Don’t go on a business trip if you are not in good health. I haven’t seen you for half a month.” Madelyn looked aggrieved. “Go out with me this afternoon. I’ll take you to meet a friend.”

Josie was a little helpless. “I’m tired. I want to sleep.”

Jo, you have to embrace your life. You are single now, okay?” Madelyn did not allow Josie to waste her youth like this.

“I’m not going… Josie rolled her eyes and smiled. “Let me rest.”

“You will absolutely want to meet this man. It’ll surprise you, Jo… Just come with me. I’ve promised him. Please, do me at favor.

Josie could not resist Madelyn, so she agreed eventually.

At Druflas subway station.

Under Madelyn’s urging. Josie put on makeup and wore a dress that she did not usually wear.

The dress was a little tight, which made Josie a little uncomfortable.

Josie seldom put on makeup. Even without makeup, she was beautiful and looked better than celebrities.

Madelyn stared at Josie all the way, full of envy and hatred. “What a waste! Henry is a fool.”

Josie’s heart tightened. She turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Madelyn knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly shut up and hugged Josie from behind. “Jo, Henry is blind. We must live happier to make him regret it.”

Josie did not say anything. “Henry won’t regret it, she whispered internally.

When they arrived at the station, Josie followed Madelyn absent–mindedly.

After arriving at the destination, Josie did not even know where she was.

“Ezral Here!” Madelyn shouted excitedly and greeted the man sitting by the window.

Josie was stunned for a moment. It turned out it was actually her senior in college, Ezra Hunter.

He was also one of the few men Josie had ever encountered.

Of course, he was not exactly a friend.

“Ezra, how is it? I’ve managed to invite her out. Madelyn blinked at him.

Ezra was a little embarrassed and smiled at Josie. “Jo, I’m sorry for asking you out in this way.”

O

Josie smiled politely, “Ezra, how are you doing?”

“Well, I work in a foreign company now. It’s not bad,” Ezra also said politely, feeling a little embarrassed.

In college, Ezra tried to pursue Josie but was stopped by Henry.

At that time, Henry acted as Josie’s brother and restricted her contact with the opposite sex.

Josie did not want to deal with others, so she naturally agreed to Henry’s behavior.

“Jo, have a good talk with Ezra. I’ll go buy something and come back right away.” Madelyn was very eye–catching and tried to introduce a man to Josie. She did not want Josie to have a difficult life.

She wanted someone to appear in Josie’s world, take care of her, treat her well, and share some of her burdens.

“Jo, I haven’t seen you for three years. Ezra was a gentle and polite man.

After three years, he was still as optimistic and clean as when he was in college.

“Yeah, it’s been three years. Josie nodded.

Back then, on Henry’s birthday, they left school after graduation.

In fact, Josie always remembered Henry’s birthday. However, now that they were divorced, she was not qualified to celebrate Henry’s birthday again.

“Your brother…” Ezra mentioned Henry. At that time, I did not know that he would be the heir of Gibson Corporation. I heard that Ashley kissed him in public on his birthday a few days ago. It’s amazing that he could find a celebrity as his girlfriend.”

Josie’s hand touching the coffee cup froze for a moment, and her breath trembled. “He’s not my brother.”

Ezra was stunned for a moment and was confused. “In college..

When he was in college, he tried to pursue Josie. Henry went directly into the dormitory to warn him that Josie was his sister. He said that Ezra could not pursue Josie without his permission.

“I’m not close with him…” Josie did not want to talk about this topic because as long as Henry was mentioned, her fingers would tremble uncontrollably.

“Sorry…” Ezra felt Josie’s emotional changes very keenly. “I heard from Madelyn that you are still single. I…

Obviously, Ezra wanted to pursue Josie again. However, Josie interrupted, “I was married.” She figured she could not hide her past.

Ezra looked at Josie in shock and could not say a word for a long time.

“Married?” he wondered.

It was like a bolt from the blue to him. “Jo, you still like to joke…

“Sorry, Ezra I really was married. I just got divorced a while ago.”

“Ah…” Ezra was stunned for a long time and asked curiously. “Why were you divorced?”

“Because he cheated on her during their marriage.” Before Josie could answer, a cold voice appeared.

Looking at the man standing behind Josie in shock, Ezra suddenly stood up. “Mr. Gibson?”

It turned out to be Henry,

12:50 Wed, 8 May MG.

Ezra’s foreign company had a partnership with Henry, so he couldn’t afford to mess with the latter.

“Are you two on a blind date?” Henry asked indifferently. “Did I disturb you?”

Henry displayed a fake smile. “My sister is so arrogant and willful. I don’t think you guys are suitable.”
