Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 137 Not Catering to Anyone
Joey picked up the plate and stood up. With an indifferent expression on her face, she replied, "Because, for three years, I've told you so many times and never bothered about it. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I feel it's pointless that you want to know now."She walked into the kitchen and started washing the dishes. When she was just done with the dishes, Zachary hugged her from behind and kissed her ear."Joey, tell me. For the past three years—""If you want to do it, do it quickly. Don't delay my sleep; I have to get up early tomorrow," Joey interrupted his soft words of service.Zachary pinched her waist. "Stubborn, aren't you?"Joey winced from the pinch and furrowed her beautiful brows. "Are you doing it or not? If you're not doing it, get out. Anyway, I wasn't home for a week, and neither were you. You came home for a different taste after you got sick of Julia, right?""I was at the Gray Estate this week. Why are you making wild guesses? You keep denying

Joey had genuinely had enough. Not only did she ignore his feelings, but she also no longer cared about Grandma's advice."Come on, what can she do? Why bother going out when she's got a supposedly capable husband like you? Thinking about scraping together a few measly bucks – typical countryside mentality." Rose scoffed. Zachary used to dislike Joey, so he usually shrugged off such remarks instantly. But now, as he listened closely, those words felt like thorns stabbing at his heart."Grandma, have you always talked to her like this?" Zachary suddenly asked."What's the deal? Do you think I'm making this up? She's been leeching off us for three years, burning through millions, and her belly's as silent as ever," Rose grumbled with disdain.Zachary, unfazed, responded, "I've always said I don't want kids. Why make it difficult for her? Why did you call her back today?"His tone carried a hint of anger. Rose, sensing it, stammered, "I got a doctor to check on her.""It won't c

Joey instinctively turned off location sharing. When she was pacing back and forth, debating whether to call back, Zachary's call came through.Joey took a deep breath, answered the call, and casually asked, "What is it?""You do know I'm on my way, don't you?" Zachary sounded displeased. It was evident he was upset about Joey turning off location sharing."Well … what's the issue?" Joey asked calmly.Zachary replied, "Then why did you turn it off? Share your location and wait for me.""Why are you coming over?" Joey's voice held a touch of annoyance. She wasn't exactly thrilled about Zachary dropping by."Your location."Pursing her lips in mild annoyance, Joey reluctantly shared her location with Zachary, Baffled by his insistence to show up, Joey was a bit puzzled and annoyed.Zachary pulled up in his car, spotting Joey by the hotel entrance, looking at her phone. He honked. Joey furrowed her brows and looked in his direction.The evening streetlights cast a glow on he

Joey got up, ready to leave."You do know a thing or two about styling, right? Can't you help me pick an outfit?" Zachary said from behind her.Joey turned around. Walking over to his suitcase, she pulled out some clothes and put together a smoky gray ensemble. "If you're tagging along, opt for lighter colors. Dark ones soak up the sun and get pretty warm.""Got it." Zachary's eyes twinkled with a hint of a grin. After Zachary finished getting ready, Joey and he grabbed breakfast together. At the same time, Selena sent her a screenshot.Julia's comment where she clarified about Joey being Zachary's cousin, caught the attention of various media outlets. Joey shrugged it off.The sun was already up at 7:30 a.m. Joey was checking out fabrics at the market, and Zachary was just tagging along."This isn't real wool. The genuine stuff doesn't feel prickly, and it starts a bit cool before warming up," Joey explained, planning to check out another store.Outside, Zachary suddenly sa

Zachary raised an eyebrow. "Jealous again, are you?"Joey's face turned cold, almost rolling her eyes as she replied, "More like you daydreaming in broad daylight."Zachary looked at her and said, "Pretending to be the perfect wife for the past three years must have been tough for you."Joey felt a bit awkward at his words. Back then, she had indeed played the part, showcasing gentleness and virtue in her efforts to make him like her.Observing her expression, Zachary could tell he was right. Her original character wasn't like before—now, this was her true self.The waiter arrived promptly, and Joey handed over the menu. Once the waiter left, Joey fell silent. Engrossed in her phone, she purposely played videos from social media aloud.Sensing her disinterest in conversation, Zachary grabbed his phone, delving into the messages Kent had sent him.Today, Kent had sent countless messages, but Zachary wasn't particularly fond of checking WhatsApp when he had nothing specific to d

Joey was caught off guard and looked at Samuel. But soon, she withdrew her gaze and looked ahead."That has nothing to do with me," she said calmly.Even though there were still ripples in her heart, they would always return to calm. She readily accepted that she couldn't give up the three years of deep love for Zachary.When Samuel heard her words, he immediately looked satisfied. "Indeed."After joining the filming crew, she became busy. She had to measure the body sizes of the roles of the maids, the leads, and the veteran actors.Of course, she must match the lead actors based on their skin color, temperament, appearance, makeup, and hair.After being busy for a month, Emmen Fashion had completed the actors' costumes, except for some clothes that had been arranged to the end. They were still in progress.After turning on the camera, she checked into the hotel arranged by the filming crew.Early the next morning, she planned to match clothes for the female lead, Yolanda Co

In the first scene, Yolanda acted wrongly several times because she was dissatisfied with her clothes. Cinna was so angry that he threw the script.He roared, "Yolanda, can you act? I asked you to act on the grief and anger of losing a loved one! What were you doing? All you have left is anger! Where was your sadness?"Her eyes were reddish. She pursed her lips and said nothing.Hailey quickly told him, "Ms. Linton made her angry this morning. She's in a bit of a bad state."He immediately looked at Joey. "What are you doing? She is the lead actor! Can you be more careful in talking?"Joey was squatting aside. She was stunned to get scolded, then quickly replied, "I got it.""Start with the male lead first!"He glanced at Yolanda and turned around to let the others prepare. Hailey brought the crying Yolanda to the side and sat down, full of gentle comfort.Joey thought this matter would be over. But someone from the filming crew deliberately recorded and released this scene

Zachary had met many people in the entertainment industry. Some celebrities who looked obedient played more openly behind the scenes than the youths from wealthy families.Some with good reputations who were polite to others had scalded their assistants with boiling water behind the scenes. They even insulted the staff.He thought that if Yolanda could see Joey's ability, her assistant Hailey wouldn't say that to Cinna. As he failed to get through to Joey, he called Cinna.At this moment, Cinna had just finished a phone call. When he saw Zachary's call, he felt his scalp tightened and quickly answered it. He sounded weak."Hello, Mr. Gray ..."Samuel and Zachary were more difficult to deal with than the others."What's going on with Joey and Yolanda? Can you tell me about it?" Zachary's tone was kind.He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said politely, "I'm still investigating it. I've asked Ms. Linton. She said Yolanda was dissatisfied with the clothes, but Yolanda refuse

Joey shot him a cold glance. "You and he are both the same, so neither of you should be laughing at the other."Zachary nodded. "You're right, but I've turned over a new leaf now.""Let's go. Enough about him," Joey said. She was annoyed whenever Henry was brought up.He had a great girl willing to be with him, yet he was still unhappy. Any other man would have been grinning from ear to ear.They arrived at the restaurant, and while Joey ordered the food, Zachary sent a message to Henry."You should think about this. Joey and Grandma just want you to have someone by your side in the future, which is why they're saying these things."Don't give up on her just because of what her parents said. Having someone who genuinely likes you is rare."From Zachary's perspective, Henry had a pretty good start. Tessa didn't mind his circumstances, so what was he dissatisfied with?Henry quickly replied, "I know. I'll think about it carefully."In truth, Henry found it all a bit troublesome.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 576 Not Blinded by Love
Henry was immediately startled and started stammering, "O-Okay."As soon as Joey hung up the phone, she turned to see Tessa, who was crying pitifully, and handed her a tissue.Tessa took the tissue and sobbed without saying a word.Monica had prepared some desserts for her and looked at her with compassion. "Henry has never been in love before. Plus, he's straightforward and doesn't know how to talk properly. There's no need to cry."Joey thought that Henry just didn't love Tessa enough. Otherwise, how could he say such things?Tessa's eyes were swollen and red. Her tears continuously streamed down. "I know he doesn't like me. Maybe he just agreed to the relationship because I pursued him."Joey patted her shoulder. "In love, if one person is too proactive, the other will seem passive. The fact that you dared to love already makes you braver than many.""What's the point? He doesn't care about me at all." Tessa sniffled."Here, eat something," Monica said. "Feelings like love d
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 575 Committed to You
No one tried to persuade Henry further, but Zachary continued to say to him, "Come with me to choose a location for the security company. It's worth doing."Henry was a bit speechless. "I'm not even pursuing the relationship anymore. Why should I still think about the security company?"Zachary responded, "Do you plan to cling to Joey's coattails your whole life? Once the business is set up, you can have apprentices teach others, and you can become a hands-off boss in a year or two."With that, Zachary headed out.After they left, Monica sighed in disappointment. "And I here I thought Henry had found someone good for him.""I think it's quite normal. Finding a good woman isn't easy," Joey said.Henry was indeed a good person, but with one eye missing and his job as a bodyguard, it was inevitable that Tessa's parents would worry."How disappointing," Monica murmured repeatedly.Joey didn't know what else to say and could only comfort her. "There's still a chance. What if Tessa d
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 574 Second Thoughts
Joey snorted. "You looked down on me and thought I had no opinions back then."Zachary pulled her into his arms. "Joey, do you like the person you are now or the person you were before?""What about you?" Joey asked him."I liked you from the beginning. Do you think I would have pursued you for so long if I didn't? I never thought you were serious about the divorce. At first, I was angry, but now I just think I was too slow to react."Joey was genuinely angry back then, but he had thought she was playing hard to get.The two of them sat close and watched the movie together.Selena hadn't returned yet, so Joey guessed that she wouldn't be coming back."Selena probably won't return. Hanson is cunning by taking her away with just a movie," Joey said.Zachary turned off the projector and was still savoring the moment as Joey left his arms."They're in love. Otherwise, Selena wouldn't go with him so easily," Zachary remarked.Selena must really like Hanson. Otherwise, she wouldn't
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 573 Important Role
Zachary squeezed her hand tightly. "You're just like an exquisite and beautiful flower."Joey couldn't help but laugh. She pulled her hand back with a little force. "Even though we just had a heartfelt conversation, I haven't thought about being your girlfriend.""I get it. You're Chloe, and countless people are lining up to pursue you," Zachary said in a voice tinged with jealousy.If she wasn't so focused on her work, she probably would have found a new boyfriend by now. For example, Kenneth was an excellent person. If Joey had accepted him back then, Zachary thought he wouldn't stand a chance now.When they got back to Emmen, Joey freshened up and got back to work.Zachary couldn't help but say, "Can't you take a break?""I've gotten used to this over the past year. When I can't sleep at night, I'll work. I find it hard to relax now," Joey said while reading a document intently.Without her dedication and hard work, Emmen wouldn't have grown so quickly.Zachary beckoned her
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 572 Cannot Let Go
Zachary felt a heavy weight on his chest as he looked at Joey.She continued, "Even if I accept you again, and we try to rebuild a family, I know things can never go back to the way they were. I gave you my best years, and I don't feel like I owe you anything."During those three years, you ignored my true feelings and neglected me. Do you think it's possible to go back to the past now?"Zachary said, "I'm truly sorry.""I want to fully accept you, but I can't. You all think that the many hurts inflicted on me are something I can just get over, let go of, and move forward from. But I can't."I realize now that people are complicated and hold grudges. I constantly revisit every wrong done to me. If I didn't care, it would mean I don't care about any of you at all."Joey rarely opened up to Zachary like this, but she felt it necessary to make this clear.Zachary watched her silently and felt as though it was his first time knowing what she actually thought."It's like how I don't
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 571 Still Distrustful
Selena readily agreed, "Alright. It's not fair for you to handle everything alone."Her relationship with Hanson was intense and passionate at the beginning, but now that the initial fire had burned out, Selena felt less attached to Hanson. But after dinner, she was still dragged by Hanson to watch a new movie.Joey was exhausted from work and didn't want to move, so she sat at the dining table with Zachary to enjoy the peace."Shall we head back soon?" Zachary asked after a long while.Joey hummed, exhausted. "Let's sit a bit longer.""If you don't want to walk, I can carry you," Zachary said with a smile.Joey snorted. "Do you want Grandma to scold me? Have you even recovered?""Probably not. These wounds don't heal so easily," Zachary admitted honestly. He wanted to please Joey but had forgotten that his health was no longer as robust as before."Let's sit for another half an hour," Joey said as she leaned back in her chair and replied to messages on her phone."You're work
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 570 Marriage Woes
Selena felt that what Joey said made sense and immediately nodded in agreement. "Then I won't consider marriage."Zachary glanced at them and thought that Selena was a bad influence on Joey. Even if they were married, couldn't they still have fun? What was the difference?Around noon, Hanson and Tessa arrived at Emmen together.As soon as Tessa saw Henry, she ran to him and grabbed his arm. "I got out of class early to see you. You're not mad, are you?"Henry was taken aback, but seeing Tessa clinging to him so sweetly filled his heart with joy."Not at all. Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up," Henry said.Tessa held his hand. "Why do you have to pick me up? I know where you work, so I can come to find you."Henry nodded dumbly."Tessa, have you eaten?" Monica stepped forward with a gentle smile."No, but my parents want to invite him to dinner tonight. I've already arranged it with them," Tessa said with a smile.Joey thought this wasn't just a regular dinner
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 569 Enjoying Life
Henry had a smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself. "Of course, she fell in love with me at first sight."Selena laughed. "Impressive! But your cosplay style probably appeals to most young girls, right?"Henry may have only one eye, but he was still very handsome. He was like a cosplayer you'd see on the street.He simply smiled and picked up his phone to check in with Tessa.After chatting, Henry grinned like a fool. "She asked me out to lunch. She said she doesn't have classes this afternoon and wants to take me to her place."Joey felt a bit envious. "You're incredibly lucky. You need to cherish this."Henry nodded as Monica looked at Henry with a smile."What is your girlfriend studying in grad school?" Selena asked curiously."Something related to Eldelish language studies I think," Henry replied, unsure.Joey nodded. "That sounds good."After finishing his meal, Henry sat nearby, playing on his phone.Selena couldn't help but tell Joey, "Is he just going
