Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 26 Staying Alive
Joey had tried everything in the last three years to get pregnant. She'd done health checkups at the hospital, and they had only found some follicular development issues. She'd even tried artificial insemination, but nothing worked. Right now, though, she understood something."I think you'd know if I were infertile," Zachary said, his anger apparent in his expression.Joey raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. Why did I have so much trouble trying to get pregnant over the last three years, then?""Is this all you think about?" Zachary had never been this frustrated before. Every time they spoke, she talked about kids and getting pregnant.They were getting divorced because she couldn't get pregnant. It was as if he was nothing but a tool to get her pregnant.Joey was stunned when she heard his question. When she came to her senses, she realized Zachary had picked her up. She began struggling. "Let me go, Zachary! Let me go this instant!"Zachary ignored her. He took out a car
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 27 Divorce
Joey called Selena and told her she wanted to go home. She asked Selena if she wanted to leave with her.Selena seemed to be busy with something. Her voice sounded muffled. "Sure, you head home first. I need to deal with something … Oh, you tease!"Joey was speechless. She knew Selena must have met a handsome guy and gotten distracted. Selena was good at a lot of things, but her biggest weakness was handsome guys. She couldn't resist them.Exasperated, Joey said, "Then I'll head home. I'll take a cab and leave the driver for you.""Okay." Selena hung up.Relieved, Joey left the banquet.The next morning, she dressed up and went to the Gray Group.Zachary must have informed the receptionist about her arrival, as she was led to the top floor when she told the receptionist her name."Mr. Gray is waiting for you in his office. You can head on in." The receptionist knocked on the door and left her there.Joey entered the office. Zachary was still wearing the suit he had worn to t
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 28 Playing Hard to Get
Monica had been taking care of Charles all this time. She had never been to the city before, so of course she had gotten lost.Joey was anxious when she heard her grandmother on the phone. She was worried about her safety if she stayed at the taxi stand, so she said hastily, "Grandma, can you give your phone to the driver? I'll talk to him.""Okay, okay!" Monica handed her phone to the driver.The driver sounded impatient. "What is wrong with you?" he scolded. He continued, "How could you let your grandmother roam around without supervision? She doesn't even know where she wants to go. You're wasting my time!"Joey apologized, "I'm so sorry for the trouble, sir. Can you drop her off at Watersgate Apartments? I'll be waiting for her there. I'll pay you three times the fare when you arrive. Is that okay?"Watersgate Apartments was a luxury neighborhood. Mollified by Joey's politeness and the offer of a tip, the driver agreed. "Fine. If you're not there, I'll leave her by the side
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 29 All Good
Joey arrived just in time to meet Monica's cab. She felt relieved when she saw her getting out of the cab."Grandma, you should've told me you were coming. I would've picked you up myself. I worry about you, you know."She paid the cab driver his fare before turning to take Monica's bag from her. "Come on, let's go home. Take it easy."However, Monica did not move. She shook her head. "It's alright, I don't want to go to your apartment. I'm here to drop off Zachary's chamomile."She opened her bag with a trembling hand and showed Joey the contents. There were several plastic bags of dried chamomile flowers in the bag."The last time you brought him home, I remember he really liked the chamomile tea that I made him. We had a lot of chamomile blooms this year, so I got Leonard from next door to pick and dry them." Monica looked happy at the mention of her grandson-in-law. Her smile was warm and kind. "Don't worry, they're clean. I washed them several times, and covered them with
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 30 A Deal
Monica cooked dinner and made chamomile tea as the evening approached. However, when dinner time came around, she did not start eating. She kept looking over at the door. "Why isn't Zachary home yet?"Joey looked at her. She felt sad when she thought about what Leonard had said.She couldn't imagine how she had made her way to an unfamiliar city half-blind with so many things. She'd never even left their little town.Monica was worried about her. She was worried Joey would be all alone and left with no family after her death.Did Joey think she was going to die soon and wanted to see if her granddaughter was having a good life? How could she let Monica worry about her?Holding back tears, Joey forced out a smile and stood up. "He's busy. Don't worry, I'll call him."She went to her bedroom and wiped away her tears. After some hesitation, she called Zachary. She knew what she was doing. She needed Zachary to come over, even if it meant having to beg. All he had to do was have a
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 31 Experts
It was a call from her grandmother, Monica. Joey cast a wary look in Zachary's direction. As their gazes locked, her expression betrayed a mixture of unease and anticipation—a sentiment that did not escape Zachary's notice.Urged by a longing for a response, Joey's lips were slightly parted. Yet, no words escaped, and she turned to leave in silence. "Grandma …" Joey answered the call and closed the office door.Monica's voice came through the phone, asking, "Joey, have you picked up Zachary?"With dusk settling in, Monica foresaw a compromise in her vision once the room lights illuminated. To spare Joey from worry, she kept her eye struggles to herself. Monica's sole desire was to witness Joey and Zachary leading a happy life together. However, uncertainty lingered about whether she would get to see them embrace parenthood.Lost in contemplation, it took multiple calls from Joey to bring Monica back to the present."Huh? Pardon me?""Zachary is still in the meeting. I sti
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 32 Warm Moment
"Since both of you are busy, I didn't want to be a bother. I can find my way here by myself," Monica chirped as she patted Zachary's hand."It's not a bother at all, Grandma. Are you saying this because you don't see me as your grandson-in-law?" Zachary's tone carried a hint of seriousness, signaling his genuine concern. Monica waved her hand in dismissal. "No, of course not! I'm just concerned that both of you are busy, so I—"Zachary interrupted, stating, "No matter how busy we are, you remain our priority. You are not a trouble at all."Monica nodded, a joyful smile on her face.During the meal, Zachary took such good care of Monica that Joey didn't even have a chance to help out with anything.Her eyes gleamed with appreciation and awe while fixed on Zachary, acknowledging his outstanding acting skills. If not for his prior mention, she wouldn't have been able to discern that he was merely putting on a performance. After the meal, Joey cleaned the table and went to the kit
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 33 Overnight
"Your grandmother is here?" Selena exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the full story. She pouted. "You're not going to keep up the act, are you? She's pretty sharp."Joey knew that. She replied helplessly, "I'll keep up the act for now. She's not in the best condition and has lost a lot of weight. She came to check on us. If I tell her that we're divorcing, she might not be able to handle it. I can't take that risk."Selena rubbed her chin and voiced her concern, "You should remind Zachary to keep his distance from Julia. Otherwise, if he's caught having an affair, he'd better be prepared to face the consequences." Despite Monica's gentle demeanor, she would stand up for Joey if anyone bullied her.When Joey was about four or five years old, she nearly got abducted. Armed with a sickle, Monica pursued the kidnapper for three blocks, eventually wearing down the kidnapper until he had to abandon his attempt to take Joey. Monica didn't stop there—she then gave the kidnapper a good

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
