I’m not crying. The texture’s just too thick,” said Josie as she put the glass on the table.

Samuel smiled and respónded, “I see.”

Josie sat on the

Wuch and looked out of the window quietly. “Samuel, the day we graduated, you said you had something to

tell me, but you went abroad to study without saying anything. What was it that you needed to tell me?”

Samuel’s body stiffened. “It’s been so many years. I’ve forgotten all about it.”

Josie didn’t ask more. She merely held the glass of fruit juice.

With a

“Charles said that Henry’s biological father is Spike from Taibbi Corporation. Do you know about this? deep voice,

Josie asked tentatively.

She couldn’t fully trust Charles, but what he said couldn’t be all nonsense.

Samuel used to be Henry’s best friend. He must have known something.

“Yes, I know,” Samuel answered truthfully while sitting aside.

Since Charles had told Josie, it was meaningless for him to hide it.

Josie took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “I knew it… I’m the last one to know about this.”

After three years of marriage with Henry, she knew nothing about him.

She didn’t even know that Henry had already found his biological father.

Henry had never allowed her to walk into his heart.

“If he wants to hide it from you, you wi

will never know,” said Samuel while frowning, Josie should’ve never chosen Henry.

“You’re right. Josie took a sip of the fruit juice and felt slightly better.

Exhausted, she looked out of the window and smiled bitterly.

It turned out that she never really knew Henry as a person.

In the meantime, at the Turner residence, the atmosphere was lively.

Knowing that Josie was coming, the entire Turner family was so excited that it seemed like they were about to celebrate a festival.

Of course, they couldn’t let Josie know how overly–excited they were.

“Dad, mom, I’m back.” Samuel brought Josie home and even bought some gifts to make amends.

“Jo, I haven’t seen you for so long. Why are you so skinny?” Tania ignored his son and went straight to Josie. “Come and catch up with me. You didn’t eat well, did you?”

Josie was a little bashful, but Samuel’s mother had always treated her well. “Mrs. Turner, I have always been eating well.”

“Welcome, Jo. Putting on a stoic pretense, George nodded at Josie, and then scolded Samuel, “You actually had the nerve to come home? Get out of here!”

After saying that, he was about to hit Samuel.

Josie was stunned. It seemed that Samuel really had been kicked out of the house.

Chapter 42

“Mr. Turner, don’t hit him,” Josie said, trying to stop George. After all, she was entrusted with this task.

Samuel immediately hid behind Josie. A tall man like him was hiding behind the tiny Josie. It was an amusing sight to

behold.

“Dad, stop it. Jo will be heartbroken if you hit him.”

Nina, Leila, and Mandy came downstairs at the same time. One of them was a supermodel, and the other two were the Turner family’s elites. Anyone would be in awe upon seeing the three of them appear at the same time.

“Hello.” Josie felt rather awkward, for she didn’t know how to explain herself.

The three of them immediately surrounded Josie and said, “Jo is as good–looking as she was when we were kids.”

“Why are you so thin? You’re even thinner than Sam. How did you lose weight?”

The three of them bombarded Josie with questions, overwhelming her.

However, such a harmonious atmosphere caused Josie to feel envious but warm.

It would be easy to get along with them.

You three are so noisy.” Lewis was wheeled out of the study room by a nanny.

“Grandpa Lewis,” greeted Josie politely as she hurriedly went forward.

“Jo, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Lewis smiled amiably at Josie.

“Grandpa Lewis, it’s my fault. I will visit you more often in the future,” Josie promised as she felt guilty.

After John passed away, she almost shut herself away from the world.

“That’s okay.” Lewis held Josie’s hand with a smile. “You went to see your grandpa today?”

Josie nodded.

“That’s good. That’s good. Lewis sighed and looked at Samuel. If he could, he would’ve jumped up and kicked Samuel. “You bastard! How dare you come back?”

Josie was afraid that Lewis would get angry, so she hurriedly protected Samuel. Please don’t be angry. What he did was indeed over the line.”

“How could he cook Grandpa Lewis’s pet turtle?” she thought.

“Jo, we don’t care about this brat. We’ll leave him to you in the future.”

Josie was stunned for a moment and looked sideways at Samuel. She wondered how should she answer Grandpa Lewis.

That was different from what they had agreed on.

“Don’t worry, Jo. The Turner family raises no coward,” Nina said sarcastically while smiling.

She was obviously pointing out that Henry was a coward.

Josie couldn’t help laughing. Growing up in a family like this would surely fill one with bliss and happiness.

Samuel observed Josie carefully. He just wanted Josie to be happy.

Meanwhile, at Hofcaster Hospital, Ashley was lying on the hospital bed. ‘Is Henry here?”

Thomas stood up, looked our of the window, and shook his head. “Ashley, do you really think… that Henry cares about you?

Thomas, what do you mean by that?” Ashley frowned.

“He feels guilty toward you, but that feeling would soon go away.” Thomas turned around, looked at Ashley, and continued, “If he doesn’t love you, would you still be happy if you get to be Mrs. Gibson?”

“I will definitely make hiin marry mel” Ashley was reluctant to admit defeat.

The feeling of guilt would soon disappear, so she had to ask Henry to marry her just before he no longer felt guilty.

She must not fail. No matter what, she had to let Henry marry

She would also do her best to make Henry fall in love with her.

her.

“Call someone for me.” Ashley clenched her fists tightly.

“Who? Thomas asked.

“Spike.”

Thomas looked at Ashley in horror and asked, “Are you really crazy? That guy’s a scoundrel

“But he is Henry’s biological father.” Ashley had made up her mind.

Back in the rental house, Josie was down.

After leaving the lively Turner residence, Josie felt her world descend into silence yet again.

She envied the warm feeling to have a family, for she had been lonely since forever.

Before her parents died, she also had a harmonious and lively family.

In actuality, Josie used to be a happy and carefree girl, but after everything that had happened, not many people could put a smile on her face.

“Too bad I haven’t succeeded yet.” Samuel shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked back with Josie,

Everyone in the Turner family were skilled actors. Samuel was, once again, deliberately kicked out of the house.

Josie felt like laughing as she looked at Samuel. ‘Grandpa Lewis asked if you had learnt your lesson.”

I’ll still make the same mistake again,” Samuel replied haughtily.

You

deserve to be kicked out of your home and got your property frozen” Josie was amused by Samuel’s words.

The two of them stood downstairs, and Josie’s laughter was very contagious.

“Let’s discuss something. My house isn’t ready yet, and I don’t have money, so, can I live here for a few days?” Samuel raised his chin. He was never intending to discuss with Josie. Obviously, he was going to make Josie agree by force.

Josie felt that Samuel was pushing his luck. “Tll lend you some money. Go to a hotel first”

“You’re so ruthless…” Samuel snorted. Josie didn’t react like how he predicted her to. “You promised grandpa to take good care of me,” he said.

“Grandpa Lewis didn’t say that. He asked me to teach you a lesson and keep you in check.” Josie rolled her eyes

“How can you teach me a lesson if I’m not around you?” Samuel said in a low voice.

“Are you going to a hotel or not?” Josie threatened Samuel.

“Fine… Samuel didn’t want to pressure Josie too much. He added Josie on WhatsApp, collected the money from her, and lef

happily.

As long as their relationship progressed, everything would go a lot smoother.

Samuel smiled and waved at Josie. To express my gratitude, I’ll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning

Seeing Samuel leave, josie shook her head with a smile.

As soon as she turned around and entered the corridor, the smile on her face instantly froze.

Henry was there.

He seemed to be everywhere.

Henry’s face was grim. Obviously, he had been standing at the window, watching Josie and Samuel chat and laugh.

Josie’s joyful laughter pierced his heart.

In their three years of marriage, Josie had never laughed so carefreely before.

“Who are you really in love with? Samuel or Charles!”
