Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 156 You Weren't Worthy of Trust
Zachary returned to his room and noticed Joey in the shower. Deciding to grab a book, his phone rang unexpectedly.Picking up, he saw an unsaved number but one that remained hauntingly familiar. Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button."Hello, why are you calling me?" His voice lacked the usual coldness."Julia had trouble in the production team because of Joey. You left her in the production team without any support. The team intentionally bullied her, causing her to fall during the rigging operation, and no one has taken care of her yet!" The voice on the other end was seething with anger. Zachary turned, gripping the phone. "Is she in the hospital now?""Do you even have the audacity to ask me? How would I know?" the person on the line spat out angrily."I'll call the production team and check." Zachary, letting the person vent, switched to WhatsApp and messaged Henry."Zachary, if anything happens to Julia, I can destroy myself for you and destroy myself agai
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 157 Joey's Disappearance?
After Zachary hung up on him, Kent felt a headache coming on. He tried calling again, only to find Joey's phone still turned off. Concerned, he reached out to Samuel, but even Samuel didn't have any information. Now, no one could get in touch with Joey."Do you think something happened to her?" Kent asked Selena."I'll call the police!" Selena declared, standing up."Okay, call the police!" Kent immediately agreed.If something had happened, delaying a call to the police could be critical. With Joey's phone likely out of battery, even the police wouldn't be able to respond immediately.Knowing that Zachary was in a bad mood, Kent reluctantly called him."What's up? I told you, I don't know where Joey is, and it's none of my business," Zachary responded impatiently."Joey's missing. Do you know where she was last seen? Selena has already called the police," Kent said solemnly.Zachary furrowed his brow. "We had a conversation three days ago. After our argument, she should ha
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 158 Regretting Ever Loving You
Harold's gaze also fell on Joey. Although Eldeville in November was somewhat warmer than other cities, being soaked like this made it easy to catch a cold."Joey, go change your clothes first," Harold said with concern.Joey walked down. Rose looked at her but noticed Joey's icy gaze. She came down from the second floor barefoot, water dripping on the floor, winding her way to Rose. She looked at Rose."Did I mock you? I didn't want to be a maid who couldn't do anything, is that not acceptable? If you're willing to live according to the outdated ideas you've embraced, that's your business. Why try to change me?"She finished speaking, snatching the phone belonging to herself from Rose's hand."I didn't expect that you would drug me and keep me locked in the room for so long …" Joey said, her voice getting choked toward the end."I used to think that you were just like old people. Because of conservative thinking, you might speak a bit extreme, and I misunderstood.""You signed t
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 159 Mrs. Gray Takes a Flight
Zachary drove to the hospital, calling Henry to investigate the car plate number of the car that took Joey.When Joey arrived at Harmony Gardens Hotel, Selena had already arranged for her assistant to deliver the luggage."Ms. Linton, Ms. Sanders got caught up with a client and couldn't make it, so she sent me to deliver your luggage. Are you okay?" The assistant looked concerned. Joey was indeed in a sorry state now. Even though she usually dressed modestly, it was nothing like this. No shoes, wrinkled clothes, and her hair all tangled up."I'm fine, just got caught in the rain. If you're busy, you can head back. I'll tidy up and head to Yarwood City. No need for you to stay here," Joey said as she pulled her luggage to a spacious area.The assistant saw her skillfully open the suitcase and took out a change of clothes."I'll grab you some hot food, you can eat before your flight. Then I'll head back," the assistant said before rushing out.After Joey finished her shower, the
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 160 Zachary Came Chasing Again
Joey knew the reason. It was said that during filming, she scratched her hand due to itching, resulting in a retake, and the director scolded her.She claimed to have frostbite on her hands, and the director, thinking it looked authentic, instructed her to maintain the appearance of frostbite.A Southerner in the cold North should naturally have frostbite, it was the most authentic physiological response. As a result, Eve's hands were much worse than Joey's, almost cracking and festering.Thinking that Eve had a harder time shooting than herself, Joey took out the charged pair of gloves from her bag and handed them to her."Wear these when you don't have scenes showing your hands. They're rechargeable and provide warmth. Later, ask your assistant to buy some ointment for treatment, it'll heal quickly.""What about you since you're giving me these?" Eve felt a bit embarrassed."I can use a hot water bottle after work. It's different for you, you're out in the cold wind all day,"
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 161 Heartache
Joey held out her hand, revealing frostbite on her fingertips. The doctor raised an eyebrow. "Did you spend all day braving the cold outdoors? We've got indoor heating. It really shouldn't look like this.""Yeah, I work outdoors," Joey replied.Zachary, looking serious, asked, "Besides what she suggested, aren't there other solutions? If the job requires being outside, there's gotta be a way to deal with this, right?"Joey glared at him. "My business doesn't concern you!"The doctor jumped in, "He's just looking out for you. Sir, if she's working outside, staying warm is crucial. Treatments won't do much otherwise."Worried, Joey questioned, "What about using a needle? Some crew members use it for frostbite.""Well, it's an option … but not always necessary. Spend a few days indoors, and your cheeks and ears should clear up," the hesitant doctor explained. She was torn between finding them attractive and thinking the guy was intimidating. Joey nodded. Coming out of the phar
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 162 Bear With It
Zachary firmly held onto her foot, glancing up at Joey. "You can't treat your feet like that. They're more sensitive than hands. Let me give you a foot rub."Joey squirmed a bit, making a face. "Let go …"Seated on the couch, Zachary held onto her foot, massaging the swollen areas. His tone was cold."A foot rub will help. Didn't you get warm shoes?""Warm ones don't make a difference," Joey replied.Even with snow boots on, spending the day in the snow often left her feet cold and damp. Zachary remained silent, sternly massaging Joey's feet. After the rub, that annoying itchiness in Joey's feet slowly eased up."How's it feeling?" Zachary asked, his hands a bit sore from massaging for half an hour."It's … not too bad," Joey replied, a bit bashful.Zachary smirked, stretching his hands. "Why don't you go take a bath? I'll head back and drop by later to work on those ears of yours."Joey shook her head."I'm good.""I heard if your ears get frostbitten with that red
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 163 Shattered
Joey wrestled herself free from Zachary's grasp."Even so, we need to consider if the hotel has planted someone to film us secretly," Joey said, glaring at Zachary.Zachary sneered."Are you worried about our relationship going public?""Just like how you hesitated to marry me, I fear people finding out about us," Joey retorted defiantly.Zachary released her, his gaze piercing. "Joey, I just want to know. Is love something you can easily toss aside?"He vividly remembered that Joey had married him out of genuine love."What if I told you I regret falling for you and marrying you? Ever since your grandmother slipped me that drug, I've regretted it. You could drop me for Julia and ditch me for your grandmother. I'm the one you keep letting go," Joey said with a self-deprecating smile.Zachary took a moment of silence, then looked at Joey, saying, "Joey, just think about it from my perspective. Would you walk away from someone who raised you?""So, what's the problem if I deci

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
