Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Henry wasn't happy about Hazel's death.

He thought he would feel much better after all these years of hating Hazel and Spike.

But it was a shame that he didn't feel so.

Henry rushed all the way and almost crashed several times. Finally, he stopped on the coastal highway and punched the steering wheel hard. He was silently venting.

His life seemed like a joke.

From his birth, he was doomed to be a chess piece.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Hazel realized Henry was worthless since Spike didn't want him, so Hazel cruelly abandoned him and left him at the orphanage.

If John didn't take him from the orphanage, Henry couldn't even imagine what would happen to his life.

He would most likely be weak.

Opening the door, Henry got out of the car and felt the breeze. He felt a sudden ache in his heart.

He took the cigarette with his numb finger but couldn't light up the lighter, no matter how many times he tried. He knew everything was coming to an end.

By then, he would have to leave Josie. There would no longer be a reason to keep her there anymore.

Henry smiled bitterly and took a deep puff of the cigarette.

Truth be told, he didn't need to use marriage as an excuse to keep Josie.

He could have even let her go and given her freedom.

However, he was selfish and stubborn and refused to divorce her.

But he didn't deserve it at all. He wouldn't have done this if he had found out earlier that Josie was so important to him.

After getting off the road, Henry walked to the seaside.

The sand was soft underneath his feet, and the sea breeze was strong.

He remembered the first year he married Josie. Josie had asked him, "Henry... Can we go to the beach tomorrow? We'll go to a place where no one will find us, okay?"

She pleaded with tears and clasped her hand together to beg for his approval.

But he refused because he was too busy with his work.

Later, he realized that it was the death anniversary of Hayden and Kathy.

Josie liked the seaside, the beach, and the shells.

He knew it from Samuel.

He only knew that Samuel was madly jealous and defensive of him, but he ignored that he had never taken care of or spoiled Josie.

He thought everything he had done was for Josie's own good.

He ignored her and didn't care about her feelings until he completely lost her.

When he reached the sea, the waves hit the sand and wet his legs. Henry didn't stop and took a few more steps forward. He returned to his senses until the seawater was over his lower legs.

Henry received a call from his men. "Mr. Gibson, another body was found in the Resettlement Area... The police have investigated this matter, and the situation does not seem to be promising. I guess it may have something to do with Ashley and Thomas." "There's no running away from their own sin," Henry said coldly.

"Sergeant Jennings asked you to come to the police station. Spike took Zachary to Frontier Bay. There's action there."

Henry's eyes darkened.

Caden asked Henry to go to the police station because he feared that Henry would do something impulsively.

Henry turned around and walked back to the car. He stepped on the accelerator, turned back at Seaside Highway, and drove toward Frontier Bay.

As long as Spike's guilt was confirmed, everything would end.

Josie was finally free.

There wouldn't be any more motives or plots.

Samuel would also protect her.

In Samuel's residence, after Josie had returned home, Josie was anxious.

"Ah!" When she was cutting vegetables, she accidentally cut her hand.

Hearing the noise, Madelyn ran over in a panic. "Jo, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I accidentally cut my hand." Josie shook her head.

Madelyn grabbed Josie's finger nervously and went to get the medicine box to bandage her. "Why are you so careless? I'll cut the vegetables."

"Maddy... I don't know what's wrong, but I feel so anxious." Josie sat on the sofa and tried to calm down.

"I'll call Samuel." Seeing that Josie's eyes turned red, Madelyn was also scared.

But Samuel and Yuri didn't answer the phone.

Was today's meeting so important that neither of them answered their phone?

"They're probably in a meeting, Jo. Go to your room and have a rest." Madelyn asked Josie to go back to her bedroom.

Soon, Yuri sent a message to Madelyn: [Don't let Josie leave. Just tell her we're in a meeting until late at night and won't be home tonight. Don't ask anything, and don't worry.] When Madelyn saw the text message, she became anxious and knew something had to have happened.

Madelyn couldn't help but reply: [What happened?]

[I'll tell you when I'm back. Behave yourself. Don't be afraid. Take care of Josie.]

Meanwhile, in Frontier Bay, as soon as Samuel and Yuri finished their meeting, they received a message saying that Spike was surrounded by the police and Spike could not

escape this time.

"Zachary is now in Spike's hands. Spike definitely won't let him go since he knows Zachary is the spy..." Samuel was worried about Zachary.

"Henry has gone, and the police are also there. Slow down," Yuri said to comfort Samuel.

"I'm worried because Henry is there! I had told Caden that if the police took action, they must detain Henry first. How could he..." Samuel was worried not only about Zachary but alse about Henry.

"Henry was already in a bad mood because of what happened to Hazel. Charles called me just now. If Henry acts recklessly..." Samuel didn't dare to think about it. Now, Yuri was also scared.

Henry was crazy.

"I didn't call Jo. She is sensitive and can definitely sense it. You must tell Madelyn to take good care of Josie." Samuel was also worried about Josie.

"Sergio surrendered himself. Hazel,

Sergio, and Silas have evidence of

Spike's crimes. He can't run away. Those pieces of evidence alone are enough to put him behind bars Yuri gritted his teeth. "He should have been punished long ago."

The end of Spike meant that Hofcaster's business district was finally clean.

He had been scheming for so many years and killed so many people. Finally, he would get the punishment he deserved.

At first, Spike didn't admit that Henry was his son. Even if the paternity test were in front of him, he wouldn't admit it.

However, when he heard that John wanted to hand over the property of the Gibson family to Henry, he rekindled his desire to plot against the Gibson family.

But John was not stupid. He left a will in advance. What Spike saw was that Henry had to marry Josie to get the property of the Gibson family.

So, Spike focused on Josie.

It could not be denied that Henry had been indifferent to Josie from the beginning to protect her.

But that kind of trick was too hurtful...

"All the sadness in Henry's life comes from his biological parents. If it were me... I'll be crazy, too," Yuri sighed.

Samuel didn't say anything but increased his speed.

He just hoped that Henry wouldn't be impulsive.

He thought to himself, "Henry, please don't do anything stupid."
