Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 238 Attraction to Handsome Men
He would only treasure the stuff Joey bought and was reluctant to waste it, even if this fruit basket's purpose wasn't that good.From Shane's perspective, he was intentionally making things difficult for himself.…In the afternoon, Monica woke up.After the doctor conducted another examination on her, he told Joey, "Her diabetes is quite severe."She hasn't been taking insulin as scheduled, and it's now impacting her eyes. She really doesn't follow instructions, huh?" Joey glared at Monica with a slightly reproachful expression. Monica felt a bit embarrassed and averted her eyes."I'm getting old, and my memory isn't good. Forgetting about it is quite normal."Joey's expression turned serious."I've already bought a house. No matter what happens, you're not allowed to move to the countryside this time. You absolutely can't refuse me again, or I'll truly be upset."After this incident, Monica didn't oppose her anymore. Her eyes landed on Joey's face. Her expression showed
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 239 Being On Fire
With Monica present, Zachary refrained from saying more, especially with Kenneth in the picture.He watched as they entered the elevator, with the doors closing behind them. Joey continued chatting with Kenneth about the TV series with a cheerful expression.To Zachary, it felt like he was just a bystander.After the elevator doors closed completely, Zachary slammed his fist against the wall.He wondered if Joey was going to accept Kenneth and agree to the marriage between her and the Fulham family. He couldn't fathom how much Joey must hate him to willingly be treated as a tool! Inside the elevator, Monica unconsciously let out a sigh. Even Joey discreetly exhaled as she feared Monica might notice and worry about her.Seeing Monica's anxious expression, Joey forced a casual smile and asked, "What's wrong?"Monica shook her head gently and replied, "Nothing." She understood that relationships couldn't be easily broken with a simple decision. While she understood the situation
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 240 The Proper Etiquette
Following Samuel's call, Joey's WhatsApp was flooded with congratulatory messages. Whether it was directors or actors she had collaborated with before, they all extended their congratulations.At the same time, she received a call from Selena.Right after she pressed the answer button and intended to calm Selena down, she heard the latter shouting, "We're on fire! We're blazing!"Yvette is truly amazing! You're incredibly talented, too!""Calm down first ..." Joey moved her phone a bit further away. She felt like her eardrums were about to burst."We're gaining global attention. It's the Cutvine Film Festival, you know? Yvette walked the Cutvine!"She's getting massive coverage from media worldwide on it. Foreign media even hailed her as the Aphrodite of Clusia." Selena continued to speak loudly without care. "Aphrodite?" Joey felt that foreigners were quite direct in naming.Selena repeatedly agreed, "Yes, they say she's the pure, jet-black Aphrodite. Who says Cutvine must be
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 241 A Gift
In the evening, Joey got to the hotel that Hanson had chosen. Just as she got out of the car, she saw Kenneth waving to her at the hotel entrance.She walked over with a faint smile on her face. "It was Hanson who planned this gathering. Why are you here too?"Kenneth had been helping her behind the scenes recently, so she actually wanted to personally thank him. "What? I'm not welcome?" Kenneth asked intentionally."I didn't arrange this. How could I mind your presence?" Joey said as she walked into the hotel.Kenneth suddenly called out, "Joey."Joey stopped and turned to look at him. There was a hint of confusion on her cool face. She asked, "What's the matter?" "Here's a gift for you." Kenneth took out a box and handed it to Joey.Joey's gaze fell on the velvet box. She asked softly, "What is it?" "Take a look. It's a bracelet." Kenneth opened the box and presented the gift to Joey.He nervously raised his hand to touch his nose and quickly said, "I had Hanson carve th
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 242 Don't Date Him
Joey squirmed under Zachary's intense scrutiny, but she quickly wondered why she should feel uneasy.They were already divorced. How dare he stare at her openly and publicly like this?Joey redirected her gaze from Kent to Zachary. With a stern voice, she asked, "Yes, Mr. Gray?"Hanson had yet to arrive, and Kenneth didn't want to speak out of turn. Thinking that Joey knew how to handle matters with Zachary, Kenneth remained quiet and perused the menu.Zachary set his eyes on Joey and replied calmly, "Enjoy your meal, Ms. Linton."Then, Zachary left.Kent was shocked. Was that all? He was expecting a strongly worded speech from Zachary.Joey, too, was bewildered. She gawked as Zachary approached the table by the corner."What would you like to order?"Kenneth's question anchored Joey back to reality. She withdrew her gaze on Zachary and scanned the menu. After placing her order, she took out her phone and began scrolling.Sitting across Joey, Kenneth could tell that she was d
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 243 A Gift Of Hurt
Joey glared at Zachary and scowled. "Who wants your life anyway? I don't want anything from you. Let go of me!"But Zachary wouldn't release Joey. Liquid courage had emboldened him.As the physical altercation broke out, Joey slipped on her high heels and fell into Zachary's arms. Zachary pulled Joey by her waist and leaned in, planting his lips on Joey's.It was a tender and affectionate kiss.Joey shuddered, nearly succumbing to the sensation. Her rationality returned and she pushed Zachary away."We're divorced. You don't get to decide who can give me presents. And who do you think you are? You have no right to kiss me."Zachary sobered up, his grip relaxed.Joey immediately broke free and shoved Zachary away. "Stay away from me!"Zachary wouldn't budge. Joey took a few steps back and eyed Zachary with distrust and annoyance.As she saw the hurt in Zachary's eyes, Joey felt a heartache. She quickly looked away and hid her hands behind her.Seeing Joey's defensive action, Z
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 244 Throw The Bouquets Away
"I'm not saying that he harbors any creepy thoughts about you. I just think that Kenneth was distraught last night."Was he like this when you came? It weirded me out." Selena mulled as she rubbed her chin.Joey replayed the scene in her mind and everything seemed to corroborate Selena's claim. Kenneth was distraught after he picked up a call. Did Hanson's departure bother Kenneth a lot?"Why does it bother you that he was distraught?" said Joey with a grin as she leafed through the contracts."It was supposed to be a friendly dinner, but it … We were celebrating Emmen's success. I thought it would be fun and joyous."Selena then pouted, "Then those dudes came and just glared at each other. It ruined the mood for everyone.""Perhaps something happened to his family? I know Hanson quite well. To make a hasty return like that means that whatever happened in Imperia must be more important than our success."Joey couldn't help but think about the Fulhams' missing child.Originally,
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 245 Defending Joey
"Hanson saved me. I am grateful for him, but I also worry that …" Monica grabbed Joey's hands. She was fraught with worry."Don't worry, Grandma. What's real can never be fake, and what's fake can never be real," consoled Joey.A myriad of emotions briefly flashed in Monica's eyes, until love remained. "You must be hungry, Joey. Let me cook something for you.""Okay." Joey nodded.Monica's mood changed so swiftly. For a moment, Joey thought she was seeing things.…Zachary received a call from the police as soon as he returned home. They informed him that Julia was released due to a lack of evidence.Zachary wasn't surprised by the outcome—Julian must have taken the blame to protect Julia.After the call ended, Zachary received a text from Henry. "Julia wants to see you."Zachary's eyes turned cold when he read the message. It took him a while to respond. "Let her wait. I'll see her when I'm free.""Noted.""I asked you to dig up Kenneth's recent purchase history. Have you f

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
