Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering by Susie Cecillia
Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

Henry, what’s wrong with Josie? Ashley followed him unwillingly. 

Henry frowned since Ashley hadn’t left yet. 

He was not used to someone else being at his house. 

Go back and rest early. Jo will be fine after a little rest. Henry called the family doctor on the way back. 

Tears welled up in Ashley’s eyes as everything she had prepared was ruined. 

She felt extremely aggrieved. 

“Henry, I made you dinner. We… 

I don’t have an appetite. Thanks for everything, Ash.” Henry patted Ashley’s head before he washed a towel to cool down Josie. 

Ashley looked at Henry, who was taking care of Josie, in astonishment. She always thought he wouldn’t take care of anyone. 

Henry only accompanied her since he was forced to. Other than that, he wouldn’t do anything for her. 

Feeling indignant, Ashley clenched her hands into fists and turned to leave. 

She thought, “No, it wasn’t easy to get Josie to ask for a divorce. I have to think of another way.” 

Looking at a family portrait in the living room, Ashley suddenly stopped in her tracks. 

Josie, John, and Henry were in the photo. 

Suddenly, Ashley narrowed her eyes and smiled. 

She had a way to make Henry hate Josie. 

The doctor came to see Josie and sighed without saying anything. 

He thought, “Ms. Yates is a poor thing. She lost her parents at fifteen and her grandfather three years ago. Now, there’s no one to support her. If Henry has a conscience, she will have a good ending. If only… 

The doctor sighed again and left after leaving her medicine behind. 

Josie inherited this disorder from Veronica and had to rest well and not overexert herself. 

Henry sat by the bed and looked at the medicine left by the doctor. It was a painkiller. 

Touching Josie’s forehead, he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the fever subside. 

He couldn’t understand why Josie had to torture herself like this. As long as she was obedient, he would not take the initiative to divorce her, and she would not be in a mess like now, 

However, she was so stubborn, like a fool. 

In fact, after living together for so many years, Henry also knew Josie’s temper. When in a good mood, she was obedient and nice. However, she could be intimidating when stubborn and would not change her mind. 

Her temperament was a disadvantage for her 

Henry always knew that, but he took Josie’s obedience for granted. 

Chapter 18 

Looking at Josie’s pale face carefully, Henry felt a pain in his heart. 

He knew Josie desired love. 

However, this was something he couldn’t give her. 

At three o’clock in the morning, Josie woke up in pain. 

Her stomach hurt so bad, causing her face to turn pale. 

Looking at Henry, who was lying beside her, Josie only felt uneasy. 

Josie sat up, feeling weak all over. 

Then, she took the ibuprofen beside the bed and gulped it down as she used to. 

Looking at Henry’s sleeping face, Josie sat there for 30 minutes. 

She thought, “Why should I hold any lingering feelings? It is also a burden for Henry if I continue to be his wife. I guess Ashley is the love of his life.” 

Buzz! 

Suddenly, Josie’s phone vibrated. 

Shocked, she got up and walked out of the bedroom with her phone. 

She thought, “It’s almost four o’clock in the morning. Why did Madelyn call me at such a late hour and more than a dozen times?” 

“Maddy?” 

“Jo! You finally answer the phone. Where are you? Read the news now. It’s an uproar.” 

Josie was stunned and took a look at the screenshot sent by Madelyn. 

Someone had exposed Henry to be an adoptive son of the Gibson family. 

She suddenly felt a chill in her heart as this was a taboo for Henry. “Who did this?” 

Only a few people knew about it. 

“Look at this too. Madelyn gritted her teeth. 

It was a photo captured by the media. The person on it was none other than Madelyn. 

As a pretty reporter, it wasn’t strange for Madelyn to be followed by entertainment reporters. However, the headline this time was outrageous. It read, [Henry Gibson, the CEO of Gibson Corporation, is just an adoptive son, according to a close friend of the Gibson family’s orthodox heir.] 

“These people are slandering me. I wondered why a reporter suddenly followed me at the TV station yesterday. It turns out they were waiting there with a trap! Josic, did someone set you up?” 

Madelyn knew very well she was Josie’s only close friend. Henry would misunderstand her when the news comes out
