Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 210 Demanding A Divorce
Seeing that Monica was insulted, Joey came to her defense. "Grandma never takes this matter lightly. Can we be civilized?"Rose decided to drop the pleasantries. "Civilized? You're just trying to waste my time here."I know you're looking for a house. You're using money from my family to buy your grandmother another house. You two are leeching off Zachary."Joey said, "I admit that selling Zachary's gift is my fault. It has nothing to do with Grandma. I'll pay you back the money, so stop calling us leeches."Joey could proudly say that she never coveted Zachary's wealth. While she did sell Zachary's gift for money, the sum was nothing compared to the lavish gifts Zachary gave Julia.But saying that out loud would be mortifying. The husband gave more money to his mistress than his wife. Who would want to admit that?Rose unleashed her vitriol before Joey and Monica. "Was I wrong, then? It's been three years, and you never gave us a child."I'm not supposed to be generous toward f
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 211 Futile
When Zachary saw the phone call from Joey, he thought she came to apologize.He picked up the call and uttered casually, "Even if you apologize now, I will not come back right away."There was a brief silence."Rose came to my place. Can you come back?" asked Joey impassively.The smile on Zachary's face vanished in an instant. He asked, "What did my grandmother do?""We'll speak when … Grandma!" Joey screamed before hanging up.With his phone in his hand, Zachary's mind went blank briefly.He knew how nasty Rose could be. Why would she visit the Lintons all of a sudden?…To Joey's horror, Monica fainted. Rose too was shocked."Grandma!" Joey immediately pulled Monica into her arms and called an ambulance."Once Zachary is back, head to the city council and sign the divorce papers." Seeing Monica's critical condition, Rose left as soon as she dropped the final sentence.Joey was sitting on the floor. Tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheek as she wailed to the unconscio
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 212 To the Brink
Zachary walked to her side and sat down.Henry stepped forward and politely said to Selena, "Let's leave the two of them to talk it out."Selena said nothing. She turned and walked toward the stairs.Once they left, Zachary tugged on his tie and replied, "I'd like to speak with Grandma in person. Why does she hope that we'll divorce? Doesn't she like me a lot?""Are you saying that liking you excuses your grandma for what she said to her? Who do you think you are?" Joey snapped back.Her eyes were bloodshot and her voice was filled with anger. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably."I've received her care in the past, after all, so I should apologize to her in person," he said in a low voice.She thought about it. Although he disliked her, he was indeed quite good to her grandma.Besides, Monica deserved an apology. But she understood that the current situation could not be resolved with an apology.She looked fed up."My grandma's situation has nothing to do with you any lo
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 213 It's All Too Late
Zachary did not feel like replying to Elise. Hanson gave him an indifferent glance and left as well.Elise, who didn't get a reply, sneered and walked off to the side to sit down. She had to stay here today to show Joey how reliable she was!Joey and Kenneth had only been waiting on the first floor of the hospital for a short while when Hanson joined them."What are you guys here for?" Joey asked in a cold voice when he neared.Hanson replied, "We were worried, so we came to have a look."He was not good with words, so he did not know how to communicate with Joey. Just the thought that she could be his sister made him even more nervous. He did not know how to act.Kenneth became anxious upon seeing him speak.He quickly said on his behalf, "We were worried that you'd be treated poorly. We knew that your grandma was hospitalized because of Zachary's grandmother."Joey nodded. She seemed a little depressed."I'm fine. I won't be treated poorly," she reassured them."Shall we
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 214 Marriage Alliance
Harold understood what Zachary meant—previous quarrels about divorce were taken lightly, but it was serious this time."Have you made up your mind?" Harold asked Zachary."Yes," Zachary replied.As soon as he said that, Rose emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of fruits.Cheerfully, she said, "Zac, you're back? Have some fruit. I've prepared the freshest peaches for you."Zachary looked at her, feeling utterly helpless. Instead of responding, he headed upstairs."Zac," Rose called, but Zachary didn't turn back."For whom am I doing all of this? Isn't it all for him? My good intentions have caused me to do bad things!" Rose whined as she began to tear up.With a stoic expression, Harold entered the study room, refusing to hear another word from her.Since it was pointless to put on such an act when she was alone, Rose sat alone on the sofa, angrily eating the peaches.Soon, Zachary came downstairs with his luggage in hand.Shocked, Rose quickly stood up. Her eyes began
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 215 Countless Explanations
Joey watched over Monica in the hospital for a few days.Although Monica had awakened, Zachary hadn't visited since the day he discussed the divorce with Joey.Monica suspected that Zachary deliberately did not come to visit so that he could prolong the matter."Give him a call and ask when he's coming," Monica said as she lay on the bed. Her voice was weak.Joey peeled a banana for her and responded, "Sure. I'll call him after you finish the banana."Looking at Joey affectionately, Monica asked, "Are you mad at me for forcing you to get a divorce?""To be honest, you might laugh at this, but I've brought up the topic of divorce with him several times even before this happened," Joey said with a bitter smile."I won't laugh at you. Was it after you found out that he had an affair that you wanted to work and be financially independent?" Monica asked while eating the banana."I'm not sure how to put it. You can ask him directly when the time comes," Joey replied. She lowered her
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 216 She Will Get Angry
Wheezing heavily, Monica looked at Zachary.Her voice filled with resentment, she said, "D-Divorce her tomorrow, from now on, our families will have no relations at all. I truly don't want to see you and your family anymore."When Zachary arrived, he still harbored a glimmer of hope. However, Monica's attitude had made it clear that he had ultimately lost Joey.When he was silent, Monica wept as she asked, "What do you think my Jojo is ... that you can bully her like this? You even accused her of stealing the house you bought for her."Jojo is the apple of my eye. After marrying you, I knew our family's status didn't match up to yours, yet I made her endure everything for you."How could you cheat on her? How could you betray her like this?"She didn't even have enough time to shower Jojo with love, yet the Gray family had already trampled all over her.Zachary tightly held her hand, unable to utter a word. He couldn't deny that the Gray family had mistreated Joey. When he didn'
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 217 A New Beginning
After the divorce procedures were completed, they exited the clerk's office.Henry was waiting outside. When they came out, he handed a file to Zachary.Zachary took the document kit and passed it to Joey. "This is the last time I'll address you as my wife."Joey had intended to refuse whatever he offered, but upon hearing his words, a surge of mixed feelings arose within her. Looking at Zachary, she found it hilarious yet sad."Yeah, alright." She took the document kit, her tone indifferent.Zachary gazed at Joey, lips slightly pursed. He remained silent for a while before averting his eyes."I did wrong by you in these three years, in terms of both love and my family. I didn't take you into consideration enough. I apologize."As he was done speaking, he found it funny. Perhaps Joey had long waited for the divorce, and it was he who was unwilling to let go.It was akin to granting her freedom.Joey looked at him, her voice calm and distant. "There's no need for that. From n

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
