It was one o’clock in the moming
Josie raised her head to look at the time.
Henry hadn’t returned yet.
Jo, did Henry sign it yet?” Madelyn was still waiting at home, afraid that Henry wouldn’t sign it.
“He hasn’t returned yet.” Josie’s voice was hoarse.
For sure, that jerk is with Ashley again tonight!” Madelyn sent a photo to Josie while cursing-
Normally the entertainment reporters wouldn’t publish the news on the same day they received theinformation and evidence due to some concerns,
However, the news of Henry and Ashley was always published on the same night, and it never failed tocause heated
discussions online.
Josie’s body went numb as she held her phone with trembling hands.
Whatever was going on between Henry and Ashley had nothing to do with her.
“Maddy, whatever is going on between them has nothing to do with me. Henry doesn’t love me.”
Madelyn was speechless. “Just leave the jerk and start a new life.”
Josie smiled. “Henry is not that bad. You used to say he was my knight.
“At that time, I never knew he was so mean. We can never judge a book by its cover.” Madelynsnorted.
When Madelyn first learned that Henry and Josie were getting married, Madelyn was happy for Josie.
After all, Josie had a crush on Henry for so many years.
Moreover, Henry was outstanding, both in ability and appearance,
Josie loved Henry, and Henry used to save Josie before too.
Madelyn thought it was a fairy tale love between a knight and a princess, but she didn’t expect theirlove to crumble just like
that too.
“Maddy, I told you before that I owed Henry.” Josie raised her head to prevent tears from rolling downher cheeks.
Back then, Henry was 18 years old, and Josie had just returned to the Gibson family. She couldn’tblend in with the new family, so she thought of running away.
It was Henry who would always find her, no matter how late and cold the night was. He would put hiscoat on her and whisper in her ears, “Jo, be a good girl. Let’s go home.”novelbin
From then on, Henry’s words were like a spell.
It could always calm Josie down.
But now… It was different.
“Back then, I was kidnapped by the kidnappers as they held a grudge against Grandpa. They askedHenry to bring the ransom to save me. Nonetheless, they just wanted to destroy the heir my Grandpahad worked hard to train. I know… Grandpa doesn’t want to save me. Josie laughed sarcastically.

Chapter 10
Josie had just returned home that year, so John Gibson hadn’t accepted her yet.
Besides, her grandpa couldn’t lose Henry, the heir whom he had trained for ten years, over Josie.
“He was like a knight, rushed to the warehouse without any hesitation, and held me tightly. Thekidnappers were at their wit’s end, so they put the bombs at the end of the road. We were all trapped inthe innermost part. I was trembling with fear; but he hugged me tightly and told me not to be afraid andthat he would be by my side. Perhaps Henry only treated me as his own sister. If we weren’t married,Henry must be a very competent brother.”
Josie thought she was simply too greedy.
If only she had rejected when her grandpa forced Henry to marry her, then surely her grandpa wouldn’tpress on.
But she didn’t
Therefore, it was her own mistake that she had a failed marriage, so she wouldn’t put the blame onothers.
Jo… Madelyn listened quietly for a long time and said tentatively, “You still love him, don’t you?”
A tremendous silence fell across the room. Josie listened to her own heartbeat and smiled bitterly.
“So what? Henry didn’t even love me. Unrequited love will never last long. Three years is the maximumlimit,” Josie thought.
“I saw Samuel today.” Madelyn changed the topic and didn’t continue the depressing topics earlier on.“He’s still as arrogant as before. He used to bully you a lot. If you see him in the future, make sureyou’ll hide and walk away from him.”
Just as Josie was about to say something, the door opened.
Josie hung up the phone subconsciously and stood up nervously.
Henry was back.
It also meant that their three years of marriage were finally coming to an end.
