Chapter 56


    Chapter 56


    Josie Henry looked at Josie in disbelief.


    Josie is bing more daring. How dare she threaten me again and again? Has the rabbit evolved


    into a hedgehog?” he thought.


    Henry was curious to see how long Josie could withstand his tricks before removing all of her thorns


    and reverting to her rabbit form.


    Josie stared at Henry with a piercing gaze.


    She’d been an obedient girl for ten years, trailing Henry like a simp. Her focus was entirely on him at


    the time..


    However, all these didn’t help her to earn Henry’s pity and love. So, she didn’t want to continue living


    such a pathetic life


    anymore.


    “Henry, when I love you, I can tolerate anything you did to me and even amodate you.” Josie


    didn’t finish her sentence as she was waiting for Henry to give her the final blow so she could finally


    give up.


    She had loved Henry for ten years and had led a pitiful life during that time.


    She adored him, and her feelings for him condemned her to swallow her pride and be an


    insignificant speck of dust.


    Her three years of marriage had left her deeply scarred. Not to mention that he even cruelly left her at


    home when she bled heavily due to ectopic pregnancy.


    Her heart had wilted, but Josie knew it still could be revived with a spark.


    Josiel


    Panic washed over Henry, and anger overwhelmed him.


    “Josie said she could put up with anything I did to her and even amodate me because she loved


    me. Does this mean she’s stopped loving me now that she’s full of thorns?” Such a thought shed


    across Henry’s mind. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Henry’s fingers were clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked. He couldn’t ept the fact that the


    woman he had loved for ten years had suddenly dered that she no longer loved him.


    Deep inside Henry’s heart, he believed Josie belonged to him and no one else.


    Josie had been fixated on him since she returned to the Gibson family.


    He liked how Josie focused her attention solely on him while ignoring everyone else.


    He was also used to Josie silently following him around, showing concern, and taking care of him.


    She had always been his. But one day, the person who had been entirely his became someone else’s.


    The sense of loss he felt drove him insane.


    “How long do you think you could defy the in Hofcaster? Henry figured Josie’s disobedience was


    momentary. Besides, he had many ways to ensure her obedience.


    He hoped Josie would change her mind soon as he didn’t want to use those tricks on her.


    After all, she didn’t have to suffer so long as she figured things out and returned to his side.


    “Until the day I die?” Josie challenged frivolously


    *1, 100, wonder how long I can hold out,” she thought.

    Chapter 30


    She honestly didn’t know how long she could continue to defy him


    Henry and Ashley had taken away as opportunity to work from her. Without money, she couldn’t seek


    treatment. At that point, she didn’t even know if she could survive another year.


    “I see. Fine.” Henry took a step back and red angrily and coldly at Josie.


    At that moment, it seemed that he had regarded her as if she were the obedient daughter he had


    raised who had suddenly turned re-ilious.


    “I’d like to see how long you can go without begging me? Henry turned around. He was prepared to get


    into his car and drive


    away.


    Josie had changed his perception of her. For him, she was beyond unreasonable.


    In Henry’s opinion, his tolerance and his never-ending support for Josie were the reasons that caused


    her to have no qualms and continuously challenge him.


    “Henry…


    Seeing that Henry was about to leave, Josie called out to him.


    Henry froze when he heard that. He was waiting for Josie to express her regret.


    “I have nothing to do with Dahon Corporation, but I’m angry at them for firing me without any reason.


    Anyway, I’m happy that you crush them. Thank you,”


    Josie did this on purpose to annoy Henry, hoping that she would save Dahon Corporation this way.


    Henry sneered and stared at Josie for a long time.


    Josie was pretending to be unfazed by his stare.


    After loving him for many years, Josie knew Henry better than Henry himself.


    Meanwhile, Henry also believed that he knew Josie like the back of his hand.


    After watching Henry leave her sight, Josie had to lean against the wall to support herself while panting


    heavily.


    When Josie finally calmed down, she quickly went to the trash can and retrieved Samuel’s jacket.


    Tears then rolled down her cheeks and hit the jacket. Josie didn’t know if she should return it to


    Samuel.


    “Even if I clean it up, he would still find it dirty and throw it away,” she thought.


    Josie felt like she was this coat, and she should be lying alone in the trash can at that moment


    Josie washed the jacket with her hands after returning home. She knew Samuel only wore high-end


    customized clothing that couldn’t be hand washed, but she still wanted to do it.


    She didn’t know why she would insist on doing it.


    After all, there was no doubt that the jacket could not be worn.


    Josie then startedughing.


    She was on the balcony then. Slowly, theugh turned into s o b s.”


    Josie squatted down, curled up, and cried for a long time.


    Josie was still crying when Madelyn returned.


    Chapter 36


    The atmosphere in the living room was depressing at that point. Madelyn took a nce at Samuel, who


    had just entered the house with her, after seeing the condition, her friend was in.


    “Mr. Turner ”


    Worried about Josie, Samuel made up an excuse to gain entrance to her house


    Madelyn bumped into Samuel downstairs.


    Samuel was hesitating on whether he should head upstairs then.


    “She didn’t have dinner yet. So, I’ve bought her risotto and sd.”


    Samuel gave them to Madelyn and nned to leave.


    “Oh no. I suddenly remember that I have something to do. I’ll be back soon. Please help me ensure


    that Jo eats her dinner. Madelyn stole a nce at Josie, who was lost in her s o b s and left with


    heartache.


    “Why are you crying” Samuel was not good atforting others, but he still approached Josie, despite


    his helplessness. “I bought you dinner. You should eat them.”


    Josie, who buried her head between her legs, froze when she heard someone speak. She raised her


    head and saw Samuel.


    ery and hide her Your jacket… I’ve ruined it.” Josie’s voice was choking with s b s as she spoke.


    Aggrieved, she continued to cry face between her legs


    Samuel nced at his jacket, which was still dripping with water, and smiled. “You cried because you


    ruined my jacket by washing it?”


    Josie didn’t respond to that. The jacket was herst straw.


    Adults always broke down suddenly at some inexplicable event.


    “Why are you back?” Josie wiped her tears away and put on a brave face.


    Thendlord called me and said that the kitchen was leaking. I came back to have a look and use this


    opportunity to buy you dinner.


    Samuel attempted to make a usible excuse for Josie, fearing he would burden her menta


    l l y if he did not.


    Tl be moving in tomorrow. We’re now neighbors.”


    “It seems that we can only be neighbors,” Samuel whispered.


    Josie walked to the dining table and nced at the dinner on top of it. Im sorry to bother you every


    time.”


    “Don’t worry about it. I’m just repaying my debts.” Samuel lowered his eyes as they were full of


    disappointments.


    Josie was caught off guard by his answer and turned around subconsciously.


    “I’m just paying my debts. This sentence made her heart squint.


    “You borrowed my moneyst time so that I could stay at the hotel,” Samuel exined casually.


    “But you already paid back the debts using the air conditioner. Josie didn’t want Samuel to take the


    money to heart.


    “I had only paid the interest.” Samuel walked to Josie’s side and looked at her quietly.


    Samuel knew he wouldn’t be able to repay the debts he owed Josie in this lifetime.


    Samuel was willing to spend his life repaying the debts because he loved Josie and not out of pity.

    “Do

    still remember the first time we


    It’s not at the Gibson residence,” Samuel whispered.


    Josie was surprised by it. “But I didn’t stay in Hofcaster before that? Are you sure?”


    Josie stayed at a small fishing vige by the border of Hofcaster before returning to the Gibson family


    at the age of fifteen. That ce had a beautiful scene. It was quiet, unlike the city.


    “Yes. The school organized a summer camp at Reef Vige before.”


    Josie looked at Samuel with astonishment because Reef Vige was once her home.


    Josic, do you want to go back there and visit the ce!”


    Josie’s eyes instantly turned red.


    Josie had never returned to the ce where she was born and raised after her parent’s death as she


    was trying to evade the


    “Yes… Josie seemed to be bewitched by him. She wanted to go back, but she didn’t dare to.


    Josie had tried to beg Henry to take her back, but Henry always said he was busy.


    I’ll pick you up early tomorrow morning” Samuel patted Josie’s head and left without giving her a


    chance to refuse.
