Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 284 A Pawn
Joey had a good laugh reading the comments from netizens. But little did they know, what they thought of as lame corporate drama was already causing her a whole lot of trouble.With Caleb getting hurt, Joey managed to keep hold of the pearls she had. Now, the only thing left to worry about was Melanie's situation.Time flew by, and suddenly a week had passed.Joey got a call from Samuel when she was finishing up at the office."Hey, remember the reunion tomorrow. Do you need a ride?" Samuel's voice over the phone was incredibly gentle."Nah, I'm good. Just send me the address," Joey declined."Okay. By the way, I saw what's going on online. How are you doing now? Is everything okay with your grandma?"I've been so busy lately and didn't want to bother you earlier, but I thought I'd check in today." Samuel's words carried genuine concern."I'm good, just the usual challenges of making a living. It's not always smooth sailing, but I've managed to work things out," Joey explained.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 285 Putting on a Show
Joey held onto her phone, tears welling up in her eyes.She was aware that there would come a day when her grandma, growing older, would inevitably pass away just like her grandfather.However, when those words actually came out of Monica's mouth, a profound sadness washed over Joey."Grandma, I know." Joey's voice softened, no longer as panicked as before.Joey realized she had overreacted due to Caleb. She had forgotten that Monica was way more experienced than her in life."Joey, I'll be back once I handle things," Monica said, ending the call abruptly.Monica's cold tone left Joey feeling incredibly anxious. She sniffed, clutched her phone, and held back her tears.Seated on the couch, Joey stared blankly at the letter. She couldn't help but wonder what important matter Monica had to attend to.After a while, she folded the letter, stood up, and headed out.Even if Monica preferred handling things on her own, Joey couldn't just sit at home and wait for her to come back.…
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 286 Reunion
Monica used to prepare tacos for Zachary, too. But that wouldn't be happening again.Zachary didn't propose heading to Joey's place for a meal. Instead, he said, "I'll drive you home. You don't need to stress about Grandma."She's got her own stuff going on, and getting too involved might make her feel tied down."Even though Zachary wasn't sure why Monica was so adamant about going to Imperia, he was certain she wasn't doing it simply because of Caleb's threat.She must have had her own valid reasons for going."I know," Joey muttered."Grandma is an adult. She's been through more in life than you've ever had. Your worries are valid, but you've got to trust her," Zachary added.Monica's persistence in walking those routes daily showed just how committed she was to going to Imperia.Zachary sensed that Joey's personality was heavily influenced by Monica's. Once she decided to do something, no matter how much time or effort it took, she would stick with it.Joey ignored Zachary
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 287 Outrageous
Joey got married not long after graduating. However, given that the marriage ended with a divorce, she found it a bit awkward to respond to Morgan's question."Not much changed, really. Selena and I opened a studio. We've been working behind the scenes to hone our skills," Joey replied softly.Morgan nodded approvingly.Classmates started arriving one by one. Even Selena, who had been out of town, rushed back to join the gathering.Sitting down next to Joey, Selena gestured for her to look at the adjacent table. Lost in Morgan's question, Joey didn't notice the people who were already seated there.When she turned to look, she spotted Zachary and a group of unfamiliar individuals in suits and ties at the adjacent table.Samuel noticed her glancing at the nearby table and instinctively turned to see what had caught her eye. Spotting Zachary at the adjacent table, he couldn't help but find it a bit too coincidental.However, a renowned chef had hosted a state banquet here recently
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 288 Joey Stood up for Samuel
Samuel's face carried a smile mixed with a fleeting trace of mockery.He lowered his gaze, took a sip of red wine, and told Joey, "I've heard rumors in the industry that Kenneth is genuinely pursuing you. Do you really not consider it at all?"His words seemed to crush Quintus' self-confidence completely."Well, I'm in Eldeville, and he's in Imperia. If I were to consider, I would consider someone from Eldeville," Joey replied.In fact, Joey appreciated Samuel stepping in to help her out tonight. She disliked dealing with such pointless conversations.Moreover, she was preoccupied with her grandma's affair and had no interest in getting engaged with them."It's indeed a bit far, but your career is on the rise now, and you have numerous offers on your plate. You should prioritize your career."After all, the fame Yvette brings you has a limited shelf life. You need to make the most of it."Samuel slowly finished speaking and redirected the conversation back to Morgan. Joey's f
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 289 Flirting in Public
Quintus, who had been splashed with wine, stood up immediately and glared at Joey with an angry expression."What are you talking about? Do you really think you're all that just because you're famous?"No matter how famous you become, you're still just a village girl. You have no parents, and you're just an orphan no one wanted!"How many years can your grandma back you up? In the end, you'll still have to rely on a man! Do you really believe your current fame will last forever?"Samuel's expression turned extremely grim, and his gaze became ice-cold. "Trust me, Quintus. I'll have someone pull out your tongue!" The commotion at their table swiftly caught the waiter's attention.Zachary glanced at Henry standing beside him. Henry immediately understood his intention.He walked up to Quintus with an indifferent expression and stated, "My boss is this restaurant's investor. Due to your disturbance affecting others' dining experience, our boss has asked me to escort you out." "I'
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 290 Outstanding Men Tend to Marry Early
"Mr. Gray, if you don't mind, we can give it a try," Lindsay said.Zachary raised an eyebrow but remained silent. It seemed like he was considering her words.The bosses at the dinner table looked at Lindsay with interest. Lindsay went from being shy to gradually feeling awkward. Her fingers twirled together, and she felt uneasy deep down. As her legs began to feel a bit wobbly, Zachary finally spoke. "I'm sorry. I want to reconcile with my ex-wife, so I'm not considering dating anyone else."Lindsay was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Zachary to have been married before. After being rejected, she nodded awkwardly and quickly returned to her seat. "Why didn't you tell me that Zachary was married before? If I knew he had a previous wife whom he deeply loves, why would I want to approach him?" Lindsay angrily glared at Joey.Joey tightened his grip on the wine glass without responding."It seems like outstanding men tend to marry early," Jamie muttered softly. She also f
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 291 Zachary's Attentive Care
When he rushed into the bathroom, he saw Joey trying hard to stand by leaning against the sink.He grabbed a towel hanging nearby, walked over, and wrapped her body in it. After that, he lifted her by supporting her arms."Did you hurt your back?""Yeah… I suddenly felt dizzy and hit my back," Joey said while trembling in pain."I'll take you to the hospital first." Zachary didn't dare to touch her back, so he helped her slowly out of the bathroom.In less than half an hour, Zachary had taken Joey to the hospital and into the emergency room. He watched as Joey was pushed inside, and the concern on his face grew more evident.When the emergency room's door opened, he immediately rushed up. "How is she?""It's nothing serious. Her back was temporarily numb, but she has regained sensation now."However, there's still a slight injury to her back. Make sure she gets enough rest when she gets back."Apply cold compresses to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes and repeat several t

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
