Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 23

Josie was usually gentle and kind, so Henry couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

He wondered how could she say such vicious words.

Ashley had depression. Josie shouldn’t provoke her with words like “drop dead.”

That was no different than ending a life.

Ashley had always respected Josie like a sister. He wondered why Josie hated Ashley so much.

It was possibly because of the rumor.

However, he had already explained to her that it was only to raise Ashley’s popularity.

He wondered when had Josie become so terrible.

Jo. Still, Henry panicked when he saw Josie fall and her forehead was bleeding.

“Don’t touch me?” Josie shouted weakly.

She stood up on her own. L.. can still walk,” she thought.

Jo… Henry didn’t know what was wrong with Josie.

It seemed that he had never known Josie in these past ten years.

He didn’t push her that hard just now, but Josie… It was like she deliberately fell.

He wondered what she was trying to do.

Josie’s legs were trembling. The elevator door opened, and she walked in with difficulty.

“Let’s go to the hospital first…” Henry followed Josie in and wanted to take her to the hospital first.

Tll see you at the City Hall’s entrance. For the last time… If you refuse to divorce me, then I will immediately transfer 20% of the shares to Charles unconditionally. Don’t think I wouldn’t do that.” Josie looked at Henry threateningly.

In her mind, it seemed that she would be reborn as long as she divorced Henry.

Josie felt a pressing urge, and she was quite agitated. She wanted to live.

She was like a fish stranded on the beach, struggling desperately to return to the sea.

She was suffocating. She wanted to breathe, and she wanted to live.

Henry’s grip on both her hands was painfully tight.

“I’ll drive you there.

“No need..” Josie removed Henry’s hold on her and walked out of the company slowly.

Everyone in the company was staring at Josie. The blood had trickled down to her chin and stained her white shirt red.

Josie took out the painkiller from her bag with trembling fingers when she arrived at a place with no one around. She then swallowed the pill dry.

She wondered if the pill tasted bitter..

She was so numb that she couldn’t taste it anymore.

Josie hugged herself tightly while her body trembled. She slowly curled up on herself in the corner down the wall.

It was her parents‘ death anniversary that day.

She had known Henry for ten years and was married him for three years.

Even if he didn’t love her, he shouldn’t have hurt her.

“Why? What’s so wrong with me? Why do you have to hurt me so much?” she wondered.

Truth be told, she was really envious of Ashley for having someone who spoiled her.

Josie had never felt loved and cared for after her parents‘ death.

In reality, Josie wasn’t someone who was extremely lacking in love.

She married Henry and tried hard to gain some semblance of care from him. In the end, all it got her was pain.

Josie was at the City Hall.

She simply washed the blood on her face in the bathroom. The wound was no longer bleeding, so Josie didn’t go to the hospital for treatment.

Henry had already arrived in his car and was waiting for her in the divorce department. He was not in a pleasant mood.

Josie stood in the hall and looked at Henry’s back a little dazedly.

Suddenly, she wondered if it would be better if she just died like this.

Still, she couldn’t. Her parents gave her life. It was impossible for her to die and waste the life they gave her.

She wanted to live.

That was why she desperately wanted to leave Henry.

She wanted to start a new life, love herself, and take good care of herself. She also wanted to see a doctor for her illness.

There would always be hope.

The doctor was right. She was still young and would get better.

As long as she left Henry….

Only by leaving Henry… would her heart return to herself.

“Satisfied?” After signing the documents, Henry saw that their marriage certificate had become a divorce certificate.

He was inexplicably annoyed and even felt that the word “divorce” was extremely offensive.

He looked sideways at Josie, who was sitting quietly. He suddenly felt strange.

The woman was still his wife the moment before, but not anymore at this point.

He thought he wouldn’t care. However, he strangely felt suffocated once that thought crossed his mind.

“The share transfer has also been signed. You’re free now.” Josie gave everything to Henry.

12:44 Wed, 8 May MU

“Henry… Take care of yourself from now on,” she said after a few moments.

Josie picked up her divorce certificate and left without looking back.

After the divorce, she gave everything to Henry, including her love.

On the other hand, Henry didn’t give her any money, a house, or even a word of concern.
