Chapter 248


    Meanwhile, at the Turner residence.


    Seeing t


    that Josie was still in the courtyard and had not entered the house, Samuel was a little worried. “Jo,


    what’s wrong?” he asked.


    “Zachary… Something happened to Zachary,” said Josie. She did not hide that information from


    Samuel. “Tm meeting Henry at the coffee shop at Santalum Alley. Would you like to apany me?”


    Josie asked.


    Samuel felt an itch within him. He was ted that Josie had told him about all those.


    Moreover, when Josie mentioned Henry, she seemed indifferent.


    Actually, Samuel had thought that it did not matter even if Josie never fell in love with him for the rest of


    her life, or if she never forgot Henry. Samuel felt contented even if Josie merely relied on him


    However, Samuel saw hope when he looked into Josie’s eyes.


    Samuel wondered, “Can Josie love me the way she used to love Henry?”


    “Okay, I’ll go with you.” Samuel pulled Josie into his arms. Taking advantage of the fact that there was


    no one in the courtyard, Samuel tried to k*ss Josie.


    Josie blushed and said cautiously. “What are you doing… Your family is inside the house.”


    Samuel snorted. “So what? I’m merely k*ssing my own girlfriend.”


    Josie looked up at Samuel. When she mentioned Henry just now, she noticed that there was still a look


    of panic in Samuel’s eye


    eyes.


    “He is so unconfident of himself!” Josie thought.


    “Samuel, are you not aware of what an outstanding man you are? Josie asked with a smile.


    “Am I?” Samuel held Josie tightly. Then why didn’t you fall in love with me earlier?” he asked.


    the one who isn’t good enough, but I feel that after being with you, I’ve be increasingly


    outstanding.” Josie chuckled and joked with Samuel,


    “Ahem!” Le came out to make a phone call and saw Samuel and Josie acting lovey–dovey and


    hugging each other. Le remarked, “How wonderful! A couple who’s in their honeymoon phase.”


    “We’ll be deeply in love with one another for the rest of our lives, Samuel retorted to Le.


    “Sam, when you behave like this, I suspect that you’re trying to urge me to get into a romantic


    rtionship of my own. And I have the evidence that you guys are trying to make others jealous.” Le


    snorted, looked at her ringing phone, and went to the side to answer the phone.


    Mandy had been eating all that while, and she would eat fruits even after she was done with her meal.


    Josie was curious. “Mandy, arent you a a model? Won’t you be afraid of bing fat if you eat so


    much?”


    “She says that she won’t get fat no matter how much she eats.” Samuel raised his eyebrow.


    “How enviable.” Josie cast an envious gaze at Mandy.


    “What happened to Zachary?” Samuel asked.


    Samuel spoke for a bit with his family and then left with Josie.


    “Ashley called me and told me to ask Henry, but Henry said that it’s difficult to exin it over the


    phone.” Josie nced at Samuel carefully. “Do you mind that I contacted Henry?” she asked.


    Samuel shook his head. “As you said, even though you guys are already divorced, Henry is still part of


    the Gibson family, and you’re still one family.”


    Samuel was not bothered by it. Moreover, as long as it had something to do with Henry, Josie would


    particrly y care about his feelings.


    Samuel enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by Josie.


    you feel aggrieved if you have to apany


    pany me to take public transport or squeeze


    Josie carefully held onto Samuel’s finger. “Will y into the crowded subway?” asked Josie,


    “I like to take the subway.” Samuel had an arrogant look on his face and easily made up a lie.


    “But I don’t like it. Every time you take the subway, there will be beautiful women coveting you. I will be


    jealous. Josie thought for a while. “Love has to go both ways,” she thought.


    Josie could not allow Samuel to be the only one giving in and sacrificing


    “I’m thinking… If you drive, can the passenger seat beside yours be my exclusive seat? Josie asked.


    Josie took a deep breath. If the driver was Samuel, she would be willing to sit in the passenger seat


    beside him.


    Samuel stopped walking suddenly and stared at Josie with an intense look in his eyes. “Jo… If you


    want, my passenger seat will only belong to you.” Samuel k*ssed Josie, stopping her from continuing


    what she wanted to say,


    Josie blushed and lowered her head. “Why are you… Why do you keep wanting to ki*s me?” she


    asked.


    She felt that Samuel was like a child.


    “That’s because I love you,” answered Samuel,


    Upon hearing that, Josie blushed even more. “He’s good at saying sweet nothings, she thought.


    Meanwhile, at Hazel’s apartment.


    Ashley was staying in Hazel’s house for the time being, but she was afraid that Spike’s men would find


    her there and make trouble


    For her.


    There is no substantive evidence for Thomas‘ case. The person who kidnapped Josie has turned


    himself in. Furthermore, Thomas has an alibi. As long as Josie withdraws the case and decides not to


    pursue the matter, Thomas cane out,” said Hazel.


    Ashley sighed with relief. “That’s great.”


    “But, Hazel, are you sure that for Zachary’s sake, Josie will…” Ashley did not believe that Josie would


    agree to withdraw thewsuit for Zachary


    “She will.” Hazel smiled.


    Hazel seemed to be very confident.


    “Henry is in touch with me every d


    day, but he’s been very busy recently. I don’t have a chance to see him Ashley sighed.


    –


    Ashley wanted to live together with Henry as soon as possible.


    In addition, she wanted to be his fiancée.


    “Your wish wille true very soon,” Hazelforted Ashley. “The person Henry hates most is Spike.


    Zachary is the spy sent by Spike to his side. Henry will only be ted that you helped settle Zachary’s


    matter. Only after he has taken care of Spike can he focus on dating you.”


    Ashley blushed. “Really?”


    “Of course, it’s true. Ashley, you’re so beautiful. I want no one else but you to be my daughter–inw,”


    Hazel coaxed Ashley with a smile.


    However, Ashley fell for it


    She was determined to be Henry’s wife.


    The incident affected her career greatly. Even if she recovered and made aeback, her career path


    would be more difficult than before.


    Besides, she missed the shooting of “A Pond of Reeds“, which made it even harder for her to win an


    award..


    It was such a good opportunity, but she missed it.


    The phone rang suddenly, and Ashley smiled excitedly. “It’s Henry!”


    Hazel smiled and motioned for Ashley to take the call “Go ahead and answer it but you must listen to


    me. Before Thomases out, you can’t go out to see anyone,” Hazel said.


    Ashley nodded quickly.


    “Henry!” After answering the phone, Ashley was still a little flustered, and she had a shy look on her


    face.


    Ashley probably really had feelings for Henry, but her love for vanity exceeded her love for Henry,


    “Ashley, Ie to your ce, but I didn’t see you. Where are you?” Henry pretended to be worried.


    “Henry! You went to find me?” Ashley was nervous, yet disappointed.


    If only she was at home.


    e with me?” Henry


    “You’re not at home? Don’t wander about these days. If you are scared to be alone, why don’t you


    come and live asked lightly. On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of a lighter lighting up


    a cigarette.


    Ashley was very excited. She almost agreed, but she remembered Hazel’s words. “Henry, c–can I do t


    currently at a friend’s house recuperating, so…


    –


    “Oh, is that so? I really wanted to take care of you… Forget it, then Henry pretended to be


    disappointed.


    a few days? I’m


    “Henry…” Ashley was a little anxious. Seeing that Hazel had gone to the living room, she answered


    cautiously, “Henry, where are you?”


    I’m at Santalum Alley. Today, I discussed the divorce with Josie, and I suddenly wanted to live with


    you,” said Henry.

    Ashley’s palms were sweating. She was afraid that if she missed that opportunity, Henry would change


    his mind.


    Besides, she was wary of Josie. “What if… What if Henry falls for Josie’s sweet talk?” Ashley thought


    ry, wait for me there, I’ll be right there!” Ashley decided to meet Henry.


    “Henry,


    She could not afford to miss the opportunity.


    As for Hazel, she only needed to achieve her goal.


    Ashley believed that Henry would not hurt her.
