Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter172 Let's Celebrate the New Year Together
Work ended early on New Year's Day. Cinna prepared dinner at the hotel while Joey drank. She then returned to her room for a shower, and she realized it had started snowing.The snowflakes fell gently outside her window. She had initially planned to video call her Grandma. However, the alcohol flowed non-stop. By the time she stopped drinking, it was already around 10:00 p.m. She leaned against the window as she watched a TV series. Through her daze, she heard the sound of knocking on the door.She paused the show and turned to listen for a moment. Upon hearing more knocks, she got up to open the door. She was surprised to see Zachary outside. "Aren't you accompanying your Grandma for the New Year?""She's already asleep, so I came over. It's not midnight yet. I made it in time."He entered the room. He wore a wool coat, and there were water droplets on his scarf. It was probably snow which had melted after landing on the scarf. Joey closed the door. She frowned and said, "It
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter173 Kenneth's Goal
The song that she loved was not very popular. Combined with the gloves and the date, she could not convince herself that it was a coincidence."What a pity. Kenneth is truly handsome. Speaking of which, how are things between you and … Zachary?"After pondering it for a moment, she said, "Pretty good."However, Zachary's current actions seemed like a belated expression of affection rather than a cheap afterthought."I have to get to work. I'll call you tonight." She quickly finished her words as she saw the actors reaching the trailer one by one. She then hung up the phone.Upon seeing that she had hung up the phone, Kenneth took a few steps and caught up with her."Happy New Year." His voice sounded beside her. She put her phone in her small backpack and looked up at him. "Happy New Year." "There's still a month before we have to leave. By then, our scenes will be almost done, but I have a request." He walked by her side, and his voice was gentle as he spoke."What is
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter174 You Called Me to Pick a Fight
Zachary did not answer her immediately. Instead, he asked her, "Do you think Kenneth likes you?""I've never paid attention. I'm very careful when it comes to interacting with those from the entertainment world, so I ignore that," she answered frankly.At most, she considered Kenneth as a friend. He helped her twice, so he wanted Emmen to help make clothes for him and his family. Her agreement was a form of repayment.However, she had not thought of entering a relationship with him."This shows that you haven't sensed his particularly obvious affection for you," said Zachary.Upon being told this, her mind quickly recalled Kenneth's attitude towards her during this period. Instantly, her eyes narrowed, but she casually said, "Please, even if he does, he's an actor. Actors are good at acting. Besides, we are on set. If he liked someone, would he show it? Do you think I don't have enough problems?""I'm your cousin, so why would he target me?" He could not wrap his head aroun
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 175 Deep Resentment Towards Him Alone
Although Zachary raised an eyebrow, he didn't respond. Was Kenneth about to bring Joey to meet his family? As he contemplated that, Joey remained silent.As the two entered the waiting area, Zachary sat down and looked at Joey. "After this job ends, I have a project—""Let's not. Let's not be involved with each other," Joey hastily interrupted him.She had no interest in collaborating with him after experiencing repeated misfortunes under his management."I won't cause you any trouble this time. The project is quite important," Zachary earnestly said to Joey."I refuse," Joey quickly replied without even considering it.Zachary was taken aback.He looked at Joey and adjusted his tie, asking, "Is there no chance at all?""I've suffered losses twice, once in your hands and once in your family's hands. Do you think Emmen will willingly cooperate with you? I'm not someone who only remembers the benefits and forgets the pain I've suffered," Joey said with a faint smile. Nobody k
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 176 Trust Me
Kent felt he was putting himself in a difficult spot. After all, he was just an ordinary single guy."Alright, what do you want me to do to help?" Kent inquired.Zachary explained in detail. Kent looked at him sternly. After a while, he finally responded, "I can't judge this matter. If Joey—""I know it's my problem, that's why I'm asking for your advice." Zachary looked at him seriously."Joey is only concerned about one thing—Julia, your first love. Whenever she calls, you go running to her. Just don't do that and it'll be fine," Kent replied simply."Think of something else," Zachary said.Kent, with a puzzled expression, asked, "Zachary, I don't understand. How important is Julia?""She's not important, but my dealings with her involve Joey. It is very complicated," Zachary said, sipping his drink."To what extent does it involve Joey? Is it life-threatening?" Kent asked, curious."Maybe. Well, I wouldn't risk it," Zachary said. "Especially now that our relationship ha
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 177 Bad News
Half a month passed quickly, and the program team started preparing for the end of filming. Joey found herself having more free time recently. Kenneth arranged to bring her to his family's place a week after the end of the shooting to get measurements for his grandmother.While idling around the program team, Joey suddenly received a call from Selena."Joey, something big is happening!" Selena sounded excited.Joey, puzzled, asked, "What? Did we receive a big order?""Do you know who Yvette Fowler is?" Selena asked, smiling from ear to ear.Of course, Joey knew who Yvette was. Yvette was a Prollywood actress who had won awards and was an international best actress."She called me today personally, saying there's an international red carpet event in June. She hopes you can design a dress for her, one that outshines everyone else attending the event."Selena was thrilled. Meanwhile, Joey thought that outshining everyone was quite a challenge. Nonetheless, it was still March, w
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 178 Jojo’s Mad at Me, so I Couldn’t Sleep
Joey felt a chilling sensation throughout her body. Instantly, she thought of Zachary using Kenneth's future as a threat against her. He was secretive about his whereabouts, and he maintained his relationship with Julia discreetly. If he didn't want anyone to know about something, no one would find out. She wondered if he had intended for the situation to happen.Her mind was chaotic with thoughts. While she doubted Zachary, she didn't want to accuse him without evidence. Setting her phone down in the office, she frowned as her dissatisfaction with Zachary suddenly peaked.At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Zachary, she coldly glared at the phone and chose not to answer. Although he called more than ten times, Joey didn't pick up any of his calls.Finally, her assistant, looking troubled, walked into her office with a phone in hand. "Mr. Simons is calling. He said you should pick it up.""I'm not picking up," Joey said, refusing immediately without gi
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 179 An Unexpected Encounter
Zachary lay on the couch and soon fell asleep. Monica brought out a blanket and covered him. Noticing the worry on his face, she sighed softly.She didn't know what had happened between the two. She headed back to the kitchen to get the tacos before giving Joey a WhatsApp call. Soon, the call connected.Monica looked at Joey with affection. "How's work been lately?"Since she called out of nowhere, Joey figured it had to be related to Zachary.Biting her lip, Joey asked, "It's still alright. What's up?""It's been a while since you came back. I miss you. From the first day of the New Year until the third, Zac was worried I'd be lonely, so he came to spend it with me," Monica said softly.Sitting in the kitchen, she glanced at Zachary resting in the hallway. Monica was genuinely concerned about Zachary. She wondered if he was unhappy at home, leading him to come over just to have tacos.Hearing Monica's words, Joey was surprised. After a moment of silence, she softly asked, "

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
