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

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

"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

"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

Monica was busy in the kitchen when they both arrived. Joey entered the kitchen, washed her hands, and said, "Grandma, I'll help you."Monica entertained the idea of rejecting it but grinned when she saw Zachary coming in while taking off his coat. "Sure! You youngsters seem to prefer food differently than me, so feel free to prepare it based on your liking."Joey settled into the chair beside Monica when she noticed a fish fillet in her bowl. Casting a glance, Joey discerned that Zachary was behind it. Despite responding with a smile, Joey muttered silent curses at him, given her usual aversion to fish. Was Zachary trying to get back at her for ruining his date with Julia?Fuming with anger, Joey placed some fiery quesadillas on Zachary's plate. Wearing an innocent face, she remarked, "Darling, I thought you loved quesadillas! Have some more!"Hailing from Flowville, Joey had a high tolerance for spicy food. The quesadillas she prepared were extremely spicy, with abundant jala

Zachary followed the sound of her voice, his thin lips pursing slightly. After a few seconds, he spoke, "I saw two extra blankets on Grandma's bed just now. She probably found it too cold. Why don't you go get them?" Joey thought for a moment and replied, "It's fine."Joey couldn't take the blankets if she was really cold. And if Monica were to sniff them out because of that, then everything they had done would be in vain.While she was still contemplating her sleeping arrangements, Zachary made some space for her. He said casually, "Sleep here."Joey didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a moment before walking to the bed expressionlessly. She lifted the blanket and climbed into the bed before switching off the bedside lamp.Convincing herself that they wouldn't engage in anything inappropriate, and considering they had shared a bed before, she assumed his nonchalance meant there was nothing to worry about.However, she couldn't fall asleep even after closing her eyes.Jo

"I should be the one asking that question." Joey sobered up instantly, feeling embarrassed and disdained at the same time. She tried to shake Zachary's hand away. "Why are you touching me in your sleep?"She wondered if he had a habit of touching someone in his sleep. However, she realized that whoever it was, it would never be her. Zachary stared at her, feeling helpless. "Isn't this what you want?"Joey was stunned, thinking that she was still in her dreams. Puzzled, she asked, "What I want?"Zachary remarked, "You have so many children's items at home, and even pictures of babies are on the wall. Plus, you have my clothes in your closet and men's slippers at the door. Don't tell me that's for Kent."Zachary assumed Joey didn't truly want a divorce and was resorting to unconventional means to stay close to him. He used to hate her tricks, but it appeared that he wasn't entirely opposed to them now. If she desired it, he was willing to indulge her. Joey was stunned for a go

"Sure, then it's settled. I'll have someone to sign the contract with you," Kent said happily. "Welcome to Design Maestros. You won't be disappointed.""But I have a small request," Joey remembered something and sputtered before Kent hung up."Yes?" The crowd around him was noisy. Kent had no choice but to turn up the call volume to the maximum for fear of not being able to hear Joey's condition."About the show," Joey paused, "I don't want Zachary to know about it."If the incident between her and Zachary affected the studio and the program team, she would suffer losses.Kent paused momentarily before saying, "Okay ... Sure." As long as he didn't take the initiative to say it, Zachary wouldn't find out, right?After hanging up, Kent greeted Zachary as he entered. "Yo, Zachary, what brings you here?""Why? Any shady business?" Zachary leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed, and his fingers tapped on the glass table before him, making a rhythmic sound. Kent had entered a

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
