Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 4 Mistook Her for Someone Else
The price seemed exorbitant compared to that of international top designers' wedding dresses. The wedding dress had reportedly been in the making for over three years, and it remained breathtaking.With his hands casually in his pockets, Zachary glanced at Joey and said, "If you like it, let's go with this one." He handed his card to the store attendant and said, "Just swipe it, no need for a PIN."Julia hugged Zachary excitedly and exclaimed, "I love you, Zachary!" Joey shifted her gaze, feeling an indescribable sense of unease. 7.18 million dollars was a mere drop in the bucket for Zachary. He'd give Julia anything she desired without hesitation.Joey nodded and signaled her assistant to process the payment. The assistant hesitated, her gaze fixed on Joey. How could they sell this dress? Joey had designed it for herself. There was a pang of reluctance, but they would be divorced, and there would be no wedding. What was the point of keeping it? However, Joey chuckled and sa
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 5 Desperate
Zachary looked at Joey with a frown. Why was she here in the first place? Dealing with this service role and the scrutiny involved was a stark difference from her life with the Gray family. He couldn't resist a taunt. "If you can't humble yourself, don't try to serve others."Joey felt a slight sting from his words. These two were experts at twisting the truth. She pursed her lips and said politely, "Fine, we'll find someone else for you. Hopefully, you can get Chloe's contact and bring us more clients."Joey left the fitting area and called in an assistant. "Don't mention my identity when you're in there." Then, she added with a touch of malice, "Tell them Chloe is grieving her late husband and has no interest in designing." Meet Chloe? In your dreams!The assistant walked in just in time to hear Julia complaining to Zachary, "Look at her attitude. I adore this dress and just wanted Chloe's contact. "But why is she being like this? The service quality of staff these days
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 6 Handling the Divorce
Zachary felt annoyed as he looked at the divorce agreement and the cards in his hand. He thought Joey was just throwing a tantrum, but she was dead serious! "Are you serious?" He forced the words through his anger.Joey frowned. "I am. Sign it, and we can handle the divorce at the clerk's office the other day."Zachary stared at Joey. They had been married for three years, and she had always been the perfect Mrs. Gray. She was obedient, caring, and exceptionally good to his family, and especially to him. But now, she seemed like a different person. Her impatience and the words that escaped her once-lustrous lips were now icy. She couldn't wait to be free of him.A sharp pain pierced Zachary's heart. He quickly shifted his gaze and walked into the living room. He said indifferently, "No need to wait. Tomorrow morning at 9 am, the clerk's office."Joey thought she was prepared for this, but she realized her heart still ached when the moment arrived. It was like a thousand needles
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 7 Not Available
That was a bit of an insult. He had time to meet Julia and accompany her when she wanted to try on wedding dresses, but he got impatient waiting for a divorce for an extra 20 minutes? Wasn't her willingness to get divorced as soon as possible a favor to them?She took a deep breath and suddenly heard a knocking sound from the other end of the line. She changed her tone. "Zachary, did you even go to the clerk's office?"Zachary coldly sneered. "Do you think everyone is as fickle as you?"Joey was confident he hadn't gone. "Then take a picture of the clerk's office's entrance for me ..." Before she could finish her sentence, Zachary hung up the phone. Joey tossed her phone aside and cursed, "Ugh, what a jerk!"Selena helped her get dressed and joined in the venting. "What's wrong with him again?"Irritated, Joey replied, "Who knows? I was late, and he didn't even go to the clerk's office, yet he's throwing a tantrum."He could do whatever he liked, but heaven forbid if someone else
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 8 Our President Has Been Waiting
"How much is that car worth?" Selena stared wide-eyed at the supercar that her Volkswagen had just backed into through the rearview mirror.She asked sheepishly, "Would selling the both of us be enough to pay for the damages?"Joey blinked. "Huh. I thought you did it on purpose because you couldn't stand someone robbing you of the parking spot.""Hey! I panicked. I'm not dumb!" Selena cringed when she thought about compensation for the damages.Joey leaned over, shifted the gear, and pulled the handbrake before getting out of the car. "I'll go and check things out," Joey said.The owner of the supercar also got out of his car.He was handsome and towered at a height of six feet and two inches. His black sunglasses were huge, and they covered half of his face like a celebrity. Only his defined nose and attractive lips were visible.He was chewing a piece of gum in his mouth. He stopped and chuckled when he saw Joey. He asked, "Hey cutie, have we met before? I think I've seen you
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 9 Are You Going Broke Soon
Selena gave a professional smile and entered the elevator. She made her way to the president's office together with Joey.A mischievous voice came from the inside. "Is Chloe here?"Selena and Joey froze at the door. Kent happened to come out at this time and met gazes with the two women. They stood there dumbly until Selena came to her senses. She was the first to react and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Simons. I'm Selena Sanders, Emmen Fashion's boss, also known as Chloe."Kent shook hands with Selena, but his gaze was on Joey the whole time. He asked, "And this is …"Selena introduced, "She's my assistant."Kent almost failed to hold back a snicker. He cocked his head sideways and faced the inside of the office. He teased, "Hey Zachary, are you going broke soon?"Joey followed Kent's line of vision. She saw a familiar figure on the sofa faced backward to them. She could recognize him from the back, even if it was just a side profile. He was none other than Zachary. She pursed
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 10 Sabotage Her Business
Joey continued sleeping and didn't hear her. Once she woke up, she realized that Selena didn't stop the car in front of the studio. Instead, they were at a newly developed apartment in a residential area.She stared dumbly at Selena and asked, "Are you here for a client?"Selena saw Joey had woken up and dangled the keys from her fingers. She said, "Of course! I'll show you what luxury is!"Only when Joey got out of the car did she realize that Selena was bluffing. There was no client! This was an apartment Selena had secretly bought for Joey!It wasn't a big space with three rooms, but it was more than enough for Joey to live alone.Selena explained with concern, "I'm worried that the jerk would steal your assets, so this place stays under my name for now. I'll transfer the ownership to you once you've settled the divorce."Joey held the keys in her hands and stayed silent in bewilderment.Selena waved her hands like it wasn't a big deal. "Come on, you're the one who's been bri
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 11 Two Million for a Meal
"We're going back to the Gray Residence tonight. Grandpa wants to see you," Zachary said.Joey was already angry to begin with, as she was drowning in the canceled orders and increasing debt. She huffed when she heard Zachary.She said coldly, "I don't think it's appropriate for me to go there."Zachary, who was on the other side of the phone, stayed silent for a few seconds before bossily demanding, "We haven't divorced. It's not up to you whether you get to sit out of it."Harold and Rose had raised Zachary since he was a child due to certain reasons. Therefore, Zachary respected and treated his grandparents very well. That was why he did not object when his grandparents asked him to marry Joey.In Zachary's and Joey's three years of marriage, Zachary's understanding of marital duties consisted of two things. One was to consummate their marriage once a month, and the other was to reassure his grandparents their marriage was going strong by visiting the Gray Residence as a loving

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
