Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering by Susie Cecillia
Chapter 43

Chapter 43 

Josie looked down and passed by Henry. “It has nothing to do with you.” 

“Josiel” With a ragged breath, Henry reached out and grabbed Josie’s wrist. 

Josie looked at Henry in fear. She did not know what he wanted to do. Would he hurt her again? 

When he saw the fear in Josie’s eyes, Henry subconsciously let go of her. The place he had touched Josie’s wrist felt hot. 

“Neither Samuel nor Charles is a good person, nor is Ezra.” Henry frowned, sounding as if he was a good older brother who was evaluating a boyfriend for his sister. 

Josie thought it was ridiculous. 

They had been married for three years, and now, he tried to interfere with her choice again. 

“Mr. Gibson, aren’t you meddling too much?” Josie took a step back, confused. 

“Even if we are divorced, we are still a family. This is a fact that cannot be changed!” Henry looked at Josie domineeringly and continued, “I promised Grandpa I would take care of you for the rest of my life. You will always be my sister.” 

Josie’s breathing became labored. 

She thought, “Sister… He still made his choice in the end.” 

Between the choices of being a lover or sister, she would always be a younger sister to him. 

“So… Harry, is anything else the matter?” Josie looked up, eyes reddened. 

She was trying to hold back. 

In her mind, she thought, “Don’t get involved with me anymore. Is it not good to stay away from me from now on?” 

“Josie, I’ll give you two choices.” Henry took a deep breath and said word by word. “One, when you’re done throwing a tantrum, remarry me. My wife can only be you. No one can replace you. Or two, if you want a boyfriend, I will help you find one. Don’t even think about Charles and Samuell 

Josie stood quietly in the corner as if her heart was torn into shreds, 

“Remarry? Help me find a boyfriend? You might as well tell me to die, Josie thought. The taste of blood grew stronger at the back of her throat. 

“Are you quite generous, Mr. Gibson? You’re going to find a boyfriend for your ex–wife. Josie sneered, and the tip of her fingers turned cold. 

“As I said, we’re a family for life. I won’t leave you alone,” he replied. 

The Gibson family was kind to Henry, and this kindness rendered him unable to give up on Josie. 

Josie took a deep breath and nodded. 

In fact, she always knew that Henry did not love her. He only did it out of guilt. 

Even though she was very aware of it, she was pathetic. 

Thank you, Harry. If you find someone suitable, let me know in advance.‘ Josie took out her key with trembling fingers and planned to unlock the door. But she could not seem to insert the key correctly, although the keyhole was right there. “Harry. go home early and rest. Good night.”

Josie smiled at Henry. It was sweet but stiff. 

Henry felt as if his heart was stabbed. Josie’s obedient appearance still irritated him. 

It was obvious that Josie chose the second option. 

She would rather let him help her find a boyfriend than remarry him. 

“Josie, move back home.” Henry did not like the environment of the rental apartment. 

“This place is not bad. If I move home, Arthur and the rest would know we divorced. He is in poor health, so let’s hide it for now.” Josie said in a deep voice, even though she remained meek. 

Arthur was not just a housekeeper to the Gibson family but was also their family member. 

Before John passed away, he requested that Arthur be allowed to retire in the Gibson residence. Arthur did not have a wife or children. He dedicated his entire life to the Gibson family. John could not bear to leave him be. 

Besides, after Henry and Josie came to the Gibson family, Arthur raised them. Hence, they shared a deeper bond. 

“You also know that Arthur is in poor health. Are other men better than me?” Henry held back his anger. He did not want to scare Josie again. 

Remarrying him was the obvious best choice. 

“Harry, I have to give you freedom. Between us, there must be at least one person who should be happy.” Josie watched Henry silently. She was telling the truth. 

Henry was stunned for a moment and could not say a word. 

He repeated in his mind, “At least one of us should be happy 

Josie finally opened the door and looked at Henry sensibly. “Harry, you should go home.” 

Henry clenched his fingers and reached out to stop Josie before she closed the door. 

Josie’s breath was trembling, and she almost could no longer keep up her facade. “Is there anything else?” 

– 

“Josie, let’s remarry, Henry said in a deep voice. He did not know what he feared. If Josie suddenly became rational and no longer loved him or if Josie fell in love with someone else. 

All this time, Josie had always chased after him. Even if Henry did not love her and had been taking advantage of her feelings for him, it all became a habit to him now. 

He could not sleep or eat alone. 

The house felt empty, and he seemed to see Josie’s silhouette all the time. 

No one was there to get him for breakfast, and no one did his tie for him. 

There was no one sleeping beside him: 

“Harry, stop it. Our marriage is a joke from the start.” Josie pushed away Henry’s hand with numb fingers and slowly closed 

the door. 

Henry stood outside the door while Josie stood inside. 

A door seemed to have completely isolated them into two worlds. 

Soon, Josie leaned against the door weakly and slowly slid onto the ground.

Chapter 43 

All the facade she wore finally came off. At that moment, she cried like a child.. 

It was a decade. 

A person could only have so many decades to be spent loving someone, and she seemed to have used up all her strength. 

*Harry, I brought you some dessert.” 

“Harry, do you want a drink?” 

Here’s your towel, Harry.” 

When they were in school, Josie only liked to follow behind Henry, as if Henry was her entire world and no one else was in it. 

When Henry played basketball with his friends, she would quietly sit next to the basketball court and hand him water and 

towels. 

She chased after Henry like a moth rushing to the flame. 

When her parents died, she felt highly insecure. She desperately searched for warmth from Henry just because he had given. her a sense of security for a moment. 

“Henry, your sister is so clingy to you. Will she do anything you ask for?” 

“Henry, I heard your sister is the school belle. She is beautiful and obedient. You’re so lucky.” 

“It’s annoying. She clings to me every day, and I have to take care of her. How troublesome,” was Henry’s response. 

In high school, Josie knew Henry did not like her and thought she was a burden. 

She knew everything from the beginning to the present, but like an idiot, she followed Henry for a decade. 

She even took advantage of John’s sense of guilt to marry Henry. 

Warm tears fell on the back of Josie’s hand. She held herself tightly as she felt utterly cold inside. 

She had given up completely. 

All she asked was for Henry not to mess with her again and let her live alone. 

She just wanted to live. 

Outside the door, Henry stood there for a long time without leaving. 

He was very conflicted and did not even know what he was thinking. 

Henry could confidently tell Samuel he did not love Josie, but he was also the first to feel indignance and regret.
