Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 555 Calling You Dear Again and Again
"Grandma will always come first," Joey said softly and looked out the window.Her life was saved by Monica, and she would always be Monica's granddaughter.Zachary held her hand. "She's also my Grandma."Joey pulled her hand back. "I know you're trying to butter him up today. I saw through your schemes."Zachary blinked innocently. "Who are you talking about?""Stop pretending!" Joey wanted to pinch him."I was just moved by their behavior today. I want to be close to everyone who stands by your side," Zachary said, skillfully navigating the conversation.Joey snorted. "Don't keep touching me. I only cried on your shoulder today because I was sad. That doesn't mean I've accepted you!""So, I still need to work hard, right?" Zachary asked.Joey didn't answer him.When they got back to Emmen, Joey took a shower and went to rest.Meanwhile, Zachary lay on the office couch and pondered over Joey's words.She hadn't accepted him yet. Did that mean he could pursue her?This thou
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 556 Even the WiFi is Not Spared
Joey pressed on her chest, trying to calm her uncontrollably beating heart as she couldn't bear it anymore. "Are you that short on data?""I'm not, but I must connect to the WiFi in your office," Zachary replied naturally.Joey told him a string of numbers before keeping her head down to avoid thoughts of his well-toned body.Joey thought that he must be doing this on purpose, but Zachary didn't do anything further. He simply connected to the WiFi and smiled meaningfully after noticing her reddening ears.…Meanwhile, Henry was carrying Zachary's clothes as he wandered around with Monica. They had finished their meal and were now enjoying the neon lights along the street."I wonder when Mr. Gray will let me go back," Henry said with his mouth full as he ate the kebab Monica handed him.Monica held the shopping bags with one hand and slowly chewed on the sausage held by the other hand as she commented, "My teeth aren't good. Even a sausage is hard to bite.""Come closer, Monica,
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 557 Call Me Joey
Henry returned to Monica's side and took the shopping bags from her. "I almost had to pay for it. It's a good thing I'm quick on my feet!"Monica patted her chest in relief. "That's what you get for making up stories. No more fooling around in the streets. Let's go back."The two of them slowly walked away.The girl clutched her phone to her chest, glanced down, then looked longingly at Henry's tall figure. She felt a mix of happiness and sadness.After Monica and Henry returned to Emmen, Zachary went to Joey's room to change clothes.Monica sat on the couch and recounted the incident on the street to Joey with lingering fear. "Henry's stories nearly cost him dearly. He almost broke someone's phone."Joey thought there might be some truth to Henry's tales, but she didn't voice it.Instead, she looked at Henry and reassured Monica, "Don't worry, I can afford it.""Do you think having money is all there is? No matter how much money you have, frugality is a virtue!" Monica lecture
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 558 A Perfect Romance
Zachary walked up to Henry and looked down at him. "Congratulations, you're fired. From now on, you're a free man. No more risking your life for anyone. Just live for yourself."Zachary's words touched Joey.It was also only now that Henry realized that being fired could be so blissful. His throat tightened, and after a moment, he knelt on one knee in front of Zachary."Thank you, Mr. Gray. It's been an honor working for you all these years. I've found the meaning of life and realized that life is precious and should be cherished."Zachary patted his head. "You should never have felt that life was meaningless. The things you've done are beyond what ordinary people can achieve in a lifetime."Assisting in the takedown of human traffickers and guarding our borders are honorable feats. Your Grandma would be proud of you."Henry lowered his head and felt that he was about to cry. "Thank you, Mr. Gray.""Stand up," Zachary said gently.Henry stood up and looked at Joey, who was visi
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 559 Love at First Sight
Joey was unhappy upon hearing Zachary's words."Is it because you think I can't afford an expensive dress that you're so worried? Are you implying my financial status isn't as good as Mr. Gray's?" Joey pretended to be upset.Henry quickly explained, "That's not what I meant!""Then why are you panicking?" Joey said sternly. "I'm Chloe. If worst comes to worst, I'll design a dress for her, which will be more expensive than any high-end fashion piece you can think of."Relax. Working for me provides you a brighter future than working for Zachary."Her competitive nature left Zachary feeling a bit helpless."Okay." Henry finally relaxed a bit.However, he couldn't help but feel particularly strange today after a series of unexpected incidents happened.As they were talking, a timid voice sounded beside them. "Hello."All three of them turned to look at the girl, who was startled by their sudden attention.Joey discreetly covered the lower half of her face with her hand. She was
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 560 Lesson on Love
Henry felt like he was chastised. "I don't have a lot, but I do have ten million. I've saved eight million to live off the interest.""You've earned nearly 100 million working with me, yet you only have ten million left?" Zachary was astonished at his spending habits.If Tessa ended up with him, she'd find her marriage gifts gone in no time. Even a mountain of gold wouldn't last long with his spending!Henry looked pitifully at both of them. "I won't spend so much from now on. I regret spending that much.""You need to curb your spending," Zachary said sternly. "Look at Shane. He's worked with me just as long and has only spent about two million."Shane came from a modest background, with his parents investing everything in him. He understood the value of money and worked hard, never slacking off, and was always eager to learn new skills after knowing Zachary wasn't an ordinary boss."I understand," Henry replied.Joey sighed. "I wanted to help you find love, but if you keep spe
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 561 Setting Him Up on a Date
Early the next morning, Joey was awakened by the ringing of her phone. She frowned and answered it. "Hello?""Ms. Linton, it's Melvin!" The voice on the other end was cheerful.Joey sighed deeply and felt a bit helpless. "Do you know what time it is? Can't you let me sleep a little longer?""Oh come on, the sun's already up! I have news for you—Kenneth's grandmother called and asked him to go back, saying she'd come to Minville to fetch him."But I told her we were out at sea and wouldn't be back for six months. I think I nearly gave her a stroke! Was I right to do that?" Melvin asked loudly."How is Kenneth doing with you?" Joey slowly became more awake."He's alright, I guess," Melvin said uncertainly. "The poor guy didn't just fail to win your heart but even ended up being violated. Who would have known that a celebrity would have to go through this?""Can you keep your voice down?" Joey sat up and smoothed her hair back."It's fine, he's busy collecting seafood. I brought h
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 562 The Scent of Love
Monica seemed to know a lot about relationships. Zachary thought to himself that he should also seek her advice.Henry scratched his head awkwardly as he said, "Got it, Monica.""Good. Off you go, now. Come back with good news," Monica urged him, pushing him toward the door.She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have enough money? If not, let Joey transfer some for you. You need to be generous in front of a woman, especially one from the city. You don't want to come off as stingy. Spending a bit more on finding a wife is worth it.""I have enough, Monica," Henry said. His hand was already sweaty from holding the bag tightly, but he was happy.Joey listened with interest, and her eyes were filled with amusement."When you leave, make sure you see her off. Don't run off by yourself, understand?" Monica called out from the doorway.Henry nodded repeatedly, committing all her words to memory as he left.Joey watched Monica standing at the door for a long time and couldn't help but tea

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
