Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 75 Enigmatic
Zachary didn't say anything else. He kneaded her ankle for a long time before standing up and leaving.The room didn't feel deserted to Joey even after he left.Despite sleeping in the same bed countless times, they were still and quiet without any warmth toward each other.Zachary closed Joey's door gently and walked to his room.As he entered, the door of another room opened.Standing in the doorway was Allie, another designer. She held a garbage bag and stared at Zachary's door with squinted eyes.…Joey didn't sleep much but was in good spirits when she woke up.Although there was still a slight pain in her ankle, it didn't hinder normal walking. She could tolerate it as long as she didn't walk fast.As Selena entered Joey's room, she asked her about the design draft. "Did you get it back? Zachary didn't condemn you, did he?"The design draft was a top priority for the two of them. Selena would feel uneasy if it was not addressed for even one day."I've taken it back. I

Everyone's eyes fell on Uriah.He glanced at Joey, then at Julia with a puzzled expression. "If you misunderstood what happened last night when Mr. Gray helped her into the room, I'm also involved.""At what time did you see Mr. Gray helping her into the room?" Allie immediately questioned shrewdly.Uriah looked at her and shrugged. "Isn't it weird that you posted on Twitter at 4:00 am? Are you asking me the time on purpose?"Allie immediately sneered. "Are you implying I deliberately posted on Twitter at 4:00 am to discredit her?"Uriah looked indifferent. "I don't know about that. Who isn't asleep at 4:00 am? Even Mr. Gray had to be asleep at that time. "Besides, she sprained her leg while walking in the garden yesterday. She just happened to meet Mr. Gray in the elevator. "Mr. Gray helped her out of kindness, but you made it sound like they had done something sneaky."Allie was speechless. She couldn't definitively say she saw Zachary leaving Joey's room at 4:00 am. If Z

Joey looked at her. "Seduce? Are you worthy of mentioning this word?"Julia felt a little wary of her. She was sure that Joey knew Zachary was married and considered implicating her.Rolling her eyes, Julia looked aggrieved. "Ms. Linton, I'm also doing it for Selena's reputation. I didn't see Zac leave your room at 4:00 am, but Allie saw it. She can't be lying, right?""Ms. Porter, do you want to ask Mr. Gray yourself? I'm unaware he came to my room at 4:00 am, so I can't answer you." Joey refused to admit it.This incident was Zachary's problem. Why should she bear the pressure in the whirlpool of public opinion?Before Allie could speak, Joey continued, "Who isn't asleep at 4:00 am? Besides, if I could seduce him, why would I be someone's assistant?"She grabbed the scissors and cardboard before turning around and leaving.Allie suddenly cried loudly, "I saw it! It's useless for you to lie!"Pausing by the elevator, Joey looked at her and said, "There's no point for you to te

Selena convinced Joey to stop thinking about it.After finishing the sloper in the morning, she wanted to bring it to Julia to determine the correct size.After all, Julia was their exclusive model.She brought the sloper to Julia's room after lunch. Upon arriving, Joey realized that Julia was not in.After asking around, she discovered Julia was with a group of models in the garden downstairs. Joey carried the sloper to the garden.When Julia noticed her, she smiled and asked, "Ms. Linton, why did you bring this?""You're a model. I need your help to measure whether the sloper is suitable," Joey said faintly.Julia was sitting on a garden chair. She held a beautiful folding fan in her hand and waved it gently."I'm sorry, I'm taking photos now. Please wait."The other designers and models stood aside and laughed while watching the interaction unfold.Joey stepped forward and looked at her in an imposing manner. "I only need ten minutes. Ms. Sanders will start cutting and mak

Joey glanced sideways at him. She felt like he was overreacting.She calmly withdrew her arm and said politely, "Thank you, but the floor isn't slippery."Uriah took the fruit basket from her hand. He said weakly, "The basket is dripping water onto the marble floor. It could lead to an accident. Go take the pattern, I'll carry it for you."Joey agreed and didn't press further.Zachary squinted his eyes as he watched them leave. His face was gloomy.Uriah calmly placed the fruit basket on the wrought iron chair in the pavilion and stepped aside.Upon seeing Joey slowly approach, Julia stood up with a smile. She picked up an orange and handed it to her."Peel it for me, then you can start working."Joey had no intention of helping her. Uriah stepped forward, grabbed the orange, and started peeling it.Julia looked at him meaningfully.While he was peeling the orange, she asked, "Uriah, are you trying to use Ms. Linton's popularity for your benefit by helping her?"Uriah retu

Allie quickly interrupted, "Ms. Fisher didn't lie. Everyone heard Uriah accuse Ms. Fisher of using your fame to promote herself. "Not only that, he claimed that you only care for Ms. Linton."Zachary ignored Allie. He instructed Joey, "You answer me."When Joey looked into his eyes, her tone became more polite. "Uriah's words were unintentional. "Mr. Gray, you're an important figure in the program team, why bother yourself with trivial matters like this?""Models who stir up controversy shouldn't stay in the program team," Zachary said softly.Henry was about to step forward to drive Uriah out.Joey took another look at Zachary and said calmly, "This incident occurred because Ms. Porter saw you leave my room around 4:00 am. However, I don't know anything about this matter."Zachary squinted his eyes. Allie quickly waved her hands upon being implicated. She retorted, "I didn't say that. Don't talk nonsense!"Joey looked confused. "Did I hear it wrong? Regardless, Ms. Fisher

Henry's words warned everyone in the Program Department not to step out of line.After he left, everyone fell silent.Joey still had a cold look on her face. She held up the pattern and asked Julia, "Do you want to take measurements?"Julia stared at her with an unreadable emotion. "You're not scared at all."She discovered that Joey was not afraid of Zachary. While the rest were afraid of him, Joey didn't even react.Joey looked at her indifferently as she said, "I didn't lie. Why should I be scared?"Allie was unsatisfied with Joey's implication of her. With a snort, she deliberately bumped into Joey as she left.Joey was knocked off balance and stepped back. There was a stinging pain in her injured ankle, which made her brows knit.No one else noticed their little encounter.Uriah's designer, Jerome Brown, said coldly, "You've offended Mr. Gray, but don't drag me into trouble!"Joey ignored the throbbing pain in her ankle and glanced at Uriah's worried face. Seeing the w

Joey fiddled with the camera bag she carried with her. She lowered her eyes as she said, "What if it is? Since you're snooping around, you should be able to tell that this incident happened because of Julia."Zachary looked at her silently.Joey didn't want to talk about this matter at all. Many things happened in the Program Department that made her feel ridiculous."Even if Julia started it, she's still not someone Uriah can offend," Zachary said calmly.Joey's lips twitched as she said, "You should have said earlier that it's Julia's solo show. I believe everyone would support her and Ms. Sanders and I wouldn't participate".Standing in front of Joey, Zachary grabbed her chin and asked, "Do you understand that you're going against me for Uriah?"Joey stared at him candidly. "I wouldn't dare go against you. After all, this program team was established for Julia to make her debut. I shouldn't have argued with her today.""Joey, are you trying to blame me for holding you back

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
