Semua Bab Obsession of the Ex-husband: Bab 221 - Bab 230

After seeing Julia off, Zachary checked into a hotel for his temporary stay.Since he had come there, he didn't intend to leave just like that.When Joey returned to the hotel after dinner, she received a WhatsApp message from Zachary."Have you checked what's in the envelope?""I didn't have time to check. Don't message me if there's nothing important."Joey decisively and utterly rejected his advances.Zachary wasn't giving up. He sent her another text, "Let's meet to have a chat. I know there's an ancient street in Riviera where we can take a stroll in the evening."Frowning at Zachary's texts, Joey took a while before typing a response."Why the rush to meet your ex-wife after your little lover left? Have you gone mad? Do you think I don't need to sleep at night or work tomorrow?"She couldn't stand Zachary anymore. They were divorced, so what game was he playing now?"Julia is not my lover. You've noticed that and gotten angry because of it, so why are you saying this?"

After parting ways with Zachary, Joey immediately called Selena."Do you need something? It's late."Selena was keeping watch at the hospital. Monica's recovery was going well."Please arrange for my grandmother to be transferred to another hospital or a higher-level ward. Aside from you and me, no one else should attend to her," Joey instructed Selena solemnly."Has something serious happened?" Selena asked immediately.Joey pursed her lips. "Do you think Zachary would lie?""Uh, I don't think he'd stoop to lying," Selena said. Even if she wasn't happy with Zachary, she knew he wouldn't do something so low."I'll tell you when I get back," Joey replied."Okay." Selena felt rather anxious about it all.Joey spent the night packing up and left Riviera immediately.Fortunately, the custom-made clothes and decorations were all completed.She stayed in Riviera because she found much heritage in the city worth learning. She was planning to stay until June for Yvette's gown to be

The two of them walked back, bickering all the way. By the time they got back, the sun was already up in its zenith.However, the countryside had plenty of trees, making the temperature quite pleasant.Joey headed for the kitchen. Meanwhile, Zachary asked Henry, who was waiting for their return, "Are the rooms all set?""Yes." Henry nodded."Then you go back to the city first. Don't disclose my whereabouts to anyone. If anything comes up, contact me on WhatsApp," Zachary whispered to Henry."Okay." Henry obediently nodded again.When Joey was bustling in the homestay's kitchen, Zachary walked in and saw her cutting meat. He asked, "Making breakfast?""Yeah."Joey couldn't help but wonder why he seemed so free. Wasn't he there for business?Rolling up his sleeves, Zachary walked over to Joey. "What do you want for breakfast?""I would like a full English breakfast. What are you doing?" Joey looked at him reaching for the knife and instinctively moved away."I'm making breakfa

Zachary observed her joyful face and smiled without saying much.Since Joey said not to bring up the past, Zachary respected her wishes. He decided to focus on making the most of their time together now.Joey was delighted with the meal.While Zachary was cleaning the table, he asked, "You've always been a fan of these, haven't you?"When they got married, Zachary's family adhered to strict dietary habits. It limited Joey's opportunities to indulge in what he considered heavy and oily foods."Linton Ville is close to the sea, and there are also ponds around that area."I practically grew up exploring those places. How could I possibly not like them? My grandma's a pro at making these."Leaning back in her chair, Joey used a damp cloth to wipe her hands which were still carrying the meal's savory scent."I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you have things to work on, do feel free to head back to your room. I've got some tasks ahead after finishing up here as well," Zachary said, making

The two of them were in the middle of heading back when Zachary's phone rang.Joey noticed him taking out his phone. As she saw the caller ID, any trace of joy on her face vanished."I need to take this call. Wait for me a moment," Zachary said, walking toward the roadside embankment.Joey sneered. She wasn't about to wait for him, so she walked away without turning back.Zachary picked up Julian's call, his tone cold. "What's the issue now?""Did you install surveillance on my phone?" Julian confronted, his voice carrying a hint of anger.To Zachary's surprise, Julian had discovered it sooner than expected.Amidst his inner astonishment, he nonchalantly inquired, "Do you have any evidence that it was me?"Zachary knew Henry's way of doing things. There was no chance he'd let someone like Julian catch him with evidence."Zachary, I'm out of prison. Only you know about this. I haven't contacted anyone aside from you and my sister."Do you seriously think my sister would go as
