Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 17

Josie ran a long distance in one breath. Her incision was in pain, and her body felt numb.

She didn’t want to stay behind and watch them being lovey–dovey, starting a new family.

Sitting on the steps outside the City Hall, Josie waited for Henry the whole morning.

Undoubtedly, she got stood up by Henry again.

She wondered how lightly Henry took her that he forgot to meet her at the City Hall.

Josie had tears in her eyes, and the sky was gloomy.

The autumn rain soon poured down, and the temperature suddenly dropped.

Josie habitually trembled when she was cold, and the incisions on her stomach and uterus ached from the twitching

After dialing Henry’s number, Josie took shelter in the lobby of the City Hall.

However, Henry refused to answer her phone and declined her call.

Disappointed. Josie waited quietly as she put down her hand.

She thought Henry would eventually think of her when he finished his business.

The sky was still gloomy at six o’clock in the afternoon.

Finally, Josie took the bus back to her rented apartment. Henry didn’t appear even after City Hall was closed..

Maybe Henry thought the divorce certificate didn’t matter after he signed a divorce settlement agreement.

Josie was about to go upstairs with her heated body.

Jo

Josie was in a trance and didn’t see the Maybach parked downstairs.

Stunned, she didn’t know how Henry found her place.

“He didn’t send you home?” Henry frowned, and it was clear that he was unhappy.

He waited here to see who Josie’s lover was and didn’t expect to see her walking home alone.

“Why would he send me home?” Josie asked in return. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Didn’t you say he loves you and won’t let you suffer any grievance?” Henry’s expression darkened.

To that, Josie smiled bitterly. It seemed like Henry knew it wasn’t right to let a lover go home alone.

“He has work to do and has no time, Josje said casually.

“He doesn’t even have time to send you home?” Henry snorted and thought, “There is nothing much about that man. What’s the difference between him and me? Why is Josie determined to get a divorce?”

“Why didn’t you go to City Hall today?” Josie asked with suppressed emotion as she didn’t want to talk too much with Henry.

Looking away, Henry made an excuse. “Ashley’s leg hurts. I had to send her to the hospital.”

Josie breathed tremblingly and slowly took a step back.

She got greatly cast down by his answer.

Henry, why are you so heartless? All her grievances instantly broke out. Josie roared madly and turned to run into the hallway.

She had been waiting for him at City Hall the whole day.

No one cared for her, even when she was in so much pain.

Ashley’s legs just got scratched, and she was pampered by Henry.

That was the difference between them.

Josie! What’s wrong with you?” Henry chased after her and grabbed her wrist. Then, he looked at the environment of the rented apartment. “So, this is where you’re staying at? Come back with me!”

“Henry, let go of me!” Josie’s breathing became increasingly rapid since she had an anxiety disorder.

Josie squatted on the ground while covering her head with her arms. She kept telling herself everything was fine and she would be freed soon.

However, she couldn’t hold it anymore.

Josie!”

Henry knew Josie had this condition since she was little. She would vomit if she got overly excited or scared and would go into shock if it was more serious.

Suddenly, he was at a loss. It seemed he had never cared about why Josie would be like this.

Meanwhile, Ashley stayed at Henry’s house to surprise him since she had nothing to do.

After all, he was going to reclaim his single status today.

Ashley was delighted but had to pretend to be sad to comfort Henry.

Everything was ready, and she even practiced controlling her emotions while looking in the mirror for a long time.

She was busy in the kitchen for the whole day, trying to make many new dishes, and only after she was satisfied did she bring them to the table.

“Henry…

Hearing the door ring, Ashley ran over excitedly. However, before she could say anything, she saw Henry carrying Josie into the bedroom anxiously.
