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
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 292 Lost Track of Monica
Joey didn't expect that Zachary had always known Monica's whereabouts. She slightly lifted her head to look at Zachary.Zachary became visibly nervous. He tightly grasped her wrist and confessed without hesitation, "I have indeed been aware of where Grandma went, but it's because I'm concerned about her."I planned to keep an eye on her from behind without interfering in what she was doing, so I could feel at ease. But now, something unexpected has occurred. We need to hurry to Imperia." "My grandma went to Imperia?" Joey asked. The next second, she was being led out of the hospital by him.Zachary was worried, but he took into account Joey's back injury, so his steps were much slower than usual."Yes, but I don't know why she went to Imperia," Zachary replied.Joey's heart tightened. "Zachary, are you so anxious because you know this trip could be dangerous for her?""No, it's just that Grandma is old and not very good with directions. It would be troublesome if she got lost,"
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 293 Back to Imperia
Amidst the silent standoff, Nancy slowly adopted a more gentle demeanor."Take your secrets back to Eldeville and never return. Stop thinking about finding the Fulham family's head. Only then will you and your granddaughter be safe and sound.""I don't see it that way. The knockoff you brought back is quite impressive."The moment she sets foot in the Fulham family, she bullies my granddaughter. Is that what you mean by safe and sound?" Monica looked disdainfully at Nancy, and her tone was sarcastic. "Behaving arrogantly in Linton Ville might earn you some respect, but bringing that attitude to Imperia won't work. Putting aside other matters, you can't even enter the Fulham family's doors."An old lady like you trying to seek justice for your granddaughter is simply impossible," Nancy continued, sounding sincerely persuasive."If you think I can't get in, why bother kidnapping me?" Monica questioned. "We're actually saving you. An old lady from a foreign place having an accide
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 294 Does He Know
During the meal, Lawrence's phone buzzed. The ingratiating smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a fearsome air that no one could ignore.Joey couldn't help but think that he sure looked scary if he was serious."So it's confirmed that the Fulhams did it? Okay. Once I finish the meal with Miss—" Before Lawrence could finish, his phone was snatched away by Joey."I'm ready now. Send me the address. We'll come over right away."Joey then hung up before passing the phone to Lawrence, who was smiling dryly.After Lawrence took his phone, he lamented, "It's an expensive restaurant, you see. Think about the bill I have to get later. And think about the food. They'll be sad if no one wants them.""We can eat another time. This meal is on me. My grandmother is more important," said Joey.Lawrence stood up and grumbled, "Mr. Gray didn't want you to go about your business with an empty stomach. But hey, he told me to obey you so I—"Joey ignored Lawrence's tiny rant and left with he
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 295 Stabbing
When the group exited the train station lounge, Joey and Monica were arguing about whether they should eat or visit the hospital first. There were a lot of people on the platform."We'll visit the hospital first, then we'll have lunch at a restaurant nearby," decided Lawrence when he was fed up with Joey and Monica's discussion that led to nowhere.Joey turned to Monica. Before Monica could speak, Lawrence suddenly yelled out, "Watch out!"They could barely register what was happening before they were shoved to the side by Lawrence. He was quite strong. Joey staggered backward.As soon as she steadied Monica, who almost fell too, Joey turned to look at Lawrence."Run…" ordered Lawrence as he held a man by his collar. Joey wanted to say something, but the man brandished a bloodied knife before her.Monica screamed and fell backward."Run!" Lawrence grunted in pain.The man tried to get rid of Lawrence. His eyes were trained on Joey and Monica, but Lawrence kept grabbing him by t
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 296 Child in the River
Monica remained reticent. She thought that everything was over after she and that old woman reached an agreement, that Yvonne wouldn't harm Joey again. Joey would just spend her life in Eldeville.But the assault on Lawrence made Monica realize how powerless she was.The Fulhams could get away after they reneged on their promise. And if Joey was dead, there'd be no point in publicizing the secret she had been keeping for so long.Her sole wish was that Joey could grow up happily next to her."Zachary, can you promise me you won't tell Joey what I'm about to tell you? I don't want to lose her."I raised her, you know? She has had a tough life, and I want her to be happy." Monica looked at Zachary with tearful eyes.Zachary already knew what was about to happen. "I promise, Monica." He held Monica's hands."Joey was in the river when I found her. She couldn't remember anything because she hit her head somewhere, and she lost part of her memory."But I didn't care. I didn't want h
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 297 Monica's Granddaughter
Selena took a sip of the liquor and began thinking."You're the most important thing to your grandma. Therefore, she couldn't have traveled to Imperia for any other reasons."Who do we know lives in Imperia? The Yates and the Fulhams."Let's rule out the Yates since you don't have any beef with them. Now that leaves us with Yvonne," analyzed Selena.Joey nodded. "Go on.""Ms. Monica is your grandmother. Someone like her can hardly get through the Fulham Estate's front gate," said Selena tactfully."So, you think my grandma was being impulsive?""No. Someone her age knows how to evaluate a situation better than we do. Perhaps Ms. Monica knows something we don't?"I saw the footage. The assailant was targeting you two. He knew who he wanted to kill."Others on the internet agreed with me, too. They said he was there with a clear goal in mind."Joey's cocktail was served. She took a sip and enquired, "What can possibly motivate one to eliminate someone at all costs?""Either mo

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
