Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering by Susie Cecillia

"You can go ahead and choose. It's just a photoshoot. We can also take them in a studio." Nina wasn't very particular about it.

Hearing that, Leonardo moved beside Nina. "That won't work."

"Do as you like." Nina thought that Leonardo was being fussy, but still, a warm feeling rose in her heart.

"Nina, are you getting impatient?" Curling his lips up, Leonardo caged Nina between his arms and kissed her.

Nina glanced at Leonardo with disgust. "Can you behave for a while?"

She complained inwardly, "I thought we agreed the marriage is just for the show? Now that we've registered the marriage and met the parents, he's denying it and claiming there's no proof because we don't have a contract. He even said I'm acting unreasonable! This man is so thick-skinned."

Meanwhile, in Clusia Media Group, Josie checked Twitter and found that it was unexpectedly calm. Only the news that Ashley was making a comeback after her recovery occupied the headlines.

Strangely, the negative news about Ashley being a homewrecker was completely suppressed, and reports about the dispute between Josie and Ashley completely disappeared.

The public seemed to have poor memory. They soon forgot about what happened and waited happily for Ashley to return.

Josie didn't call Henry. She knew he was the only one who could do this.

Josie didn't know what Henry wanted to do, but she figured he probably wouldn't fall for Ashley again.

But then again, this was not something Josie could control.

At that moment, Josie's assistant ran in and exclaimed, "Josie, Sebastian got hurt on the set!"

Josie got up in a panic. "What happened?"

"Rebecca is so dedicated to her job. She didn't use a stand-in and insisted on completing the explosion scene in the battle and the scene where she falls from the horse. But no one expected the horse to suddenly go wild. Sebastian shielded Rebecca under him, and that's how he got hurt."

"Is his injury serious?" Josie packed up her things and walked out swiftly. "Which hospital is he in? Let's go there first."

"It's not very serious. His arm is injured, and he has a fracture, but he'll be fine after some rest. Fortunately, Sebastian doesn't have a lot of scenes, so he can catch up on the filming later."

Josie nodded. "Inform the media that Sebastian is dedicated to his work and insisted on shooting without fear of getting injured. Tell them he protected his fellow cast member and got injured and hospitalized." Josie was determined to plan Sebastian's future well.

They were both artists under Clusia Media Group. Be it actors or shows, as long as they became popular, it would be good for everyone.

The assistant quickly bobbed her head and took down notes.

When Josie arrived at Frontier Bay Hospital, she saw Rebecca taking care of Sebastian lovingly.

If someone saw the way Sebastian was enjoying the moment, they would never have thought he was the one with a fracture.

"Ahem." Josie cleared her throat.

Startled, Rebecca shot up from her seat, for fear that Josie would notice something. "Uh... It's my fault this happened. I insisted on acting tough."

"How can one be considered an actor if one needs a stand-in for every scene?" Josie shook her head and looked at Sebastian's injury. "Fortunately, it is not serious."

Sebastian nodded. "Josie, don't worry. I'm fine."

"I do see you are living the life." Josie chuckled helplessly. Rebecca had washed some fruits and was stuffing them into Sebastian's mouth one by one. Seeing that, Josie felt like she had come at the wrong time.

"I informed the media that Sebastian accidentally got hurt because of his dedication to shooting. Don't mention it is about you. Sebastian's fans are very passionate," Josie reminded Rebecca.

Rebecca nodded and then lowered her eyes, still blaming herself.

She thought, "If I hadn't insisted on doing the action scene myself..."

"That's enough. If you really feel guilty, just take good care of him." Josie patted Rebecca on the shoulder.

Rebecca nodded in return.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go deal with those reporters first."

Josie looked at the time. She and Henry had agreed to meet at the Gibson residence, and that meant she would get back home late.

After leaving the ward, Josie called

Samuel. She thought it was still necessary to tell him in advance. After all, she couldn't hide it forever. "Samuel, Henry asked me to go to the Gibson residence..."

"Shall I go to the company to pick you up?" Samuel responded. He wanted to be with Josie.

"Henry said..." Josie didn't know how to put it into words. "I should avoid things like this," she thought.

"Go ahead. I'll pick you up at night and bring you home." Samuel sensed Josie's hesitation and understood that Henry wanted to meet Josie alone.

It was not that Samuel didn't care; nor was he generous. He just chose to trust that Josie would be able to properly deal with her relationship with Henry. "Then I'll call you when I'm done. Come and pick me up by then," Josie smiled.

"Okay."

In the Gibson residence, Henry had been waiting for Josie. At 7:00 p.m., Josie finally arrived.

"Jo..." Henry was a little at a loss, and he could only smile at Josie.

"Did the housekeeper cook the meal?" Josie glanced at the food on the table, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Henry instinctively hid his hands behind his back. There were countless Band-Aids wrapped around his fingers.

"I did..." Henry had finally learned how to cook. Although it was not as delicious as Samuel's, he still managed to learn.

Henry's smile looked a bit forced, and his throat felt dry and sore.

Josie was on her way to wash her hands when she heard Henry and stiffened for a moment. Lowering her eyes, she did not say a word.

She could not take this affection that came too late.

After a while, Josie came to the dining table. "Give it a try." Henry sat opposite Josie, looking expectant.

Josie took a bite. The food was salty

and a little bitter, but she still nodded. "Well, it's great. When you have your own family in the future, you can cook this for your wife."

Henry's eyes instantly dimmed. Without a word, he tasted the food.

It was too salty and bitter.

Henry reached out to grab the plate of burnt ribs and poured them into the trash can. "Stop eating... It doesn't suit your palate. Samuel's cooking... suits your palate better." Josie put down the fork and kept quiet.

"Jo..." Henry raised his head, his gaze intense.

"Henry, what is it... Just say it." Josie looked back at him calmly.

There was no hint of emotions in her eyes.

It turned out that a person could really move on if they wanted to.

It was possible for them to stop loving if they were terribly hurt.

"The cause of death of your

parents..." Henry handed over a document to Josie. "Sergio was the driver of the truck. Your parents

could have survived the car

accident. Sergio could have saved

them, but he didn't."

Josie's clenched her fingers in an instant.

"The person who instructed him was Spike. However, Spike only asked him to stop Hayden and Kathy. It was Sergio who decided to kill them."

Josie looked up at Henry. "Was it Hazel's idea?"

"I think only Sergio knows about this. He will voluntarily reveal everything. I promise." Henry's expression was firm.

"Back then, Spike liked your mother, Kathy, while Hazel liked your father, Hayden."

Since Spike and Hazel couldn't have the person they loved, hatred grew in their hearts.

"I suppose Hazel and Spike were only in a collaborative relationship at first. Later, Hazel played some tricks to have a child with Spike..."

And that child was Henry.

While Henry spoke about this, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
