Chapter 16
Jewelry store.
The Acker family’s mother held Josie’s hand and took her to try on cach one. If Josie showed any interest, she would immediately call the store clerk to wrap it up.
After the wedding, the Acker family’s mother grew very fond of Josie. She carefully investigated the events that had transpired and learned about everything Josie had experienced with the Deantt family.
“The amount of information we found is already so much, imagine how much more we haven’t found. From then on, the Acker family mother looked at Josie with a hint of pity in her eyes. Eric was the only child. of the Acker family, and Nora had always wanted a daughter. Unfortunately, her husband passed away carly, but now with Josic, the Acker family mother truly liked this child from the bottom of her heart, treating her like her own daughter.”
The butler behind her had already carried a large number of bags and packages. Josie made an excuse that she needed to go to the bathroom. and asked the Acker family mother to watch them herself.
She had just reached the corner when Adam grabbed her hand.
She had seen it a long time ago. From the first floor, she had seen Adam with Jessica, but by the third floor, he was the only one left.
Just
She shook off Adam’s hand and said, say what you have to say directly, don’t drag it out in public.”

Adam wanted to say something, but Josie’s indifferent attitude left him unsure of where to start. Seeing him silent, Josie didn’t want to waste any more time with him. Adam saw her about to leave and quickly stopped her
“Why did you leave me? Adam asked, his voice coming out hoarse.”
Since the wedding, he has been forced to deal with the Acker family’s deliberate arrangements, without any time to talk to Josic and figure things out. He wondered, was he not good enough to Josie? Why would Josie treat him like this?
The aftermath of the car accident left Adam feeling weak, and he has lost a lot of weight in recent days.
Josie laughed. “Adam, are you worried that I am the kind of person who will cling to you?”
“If you can’t let go of Jessica, you can just tell me. I, Josic, dare to do anything, able to pick up and let go. What about you, Adam? Can you do it?”
Adam was stunned, unsure if Josie was speaking in jest. During this. time, at Evelin’s urging, Jessica stayed by his side. He talked about seeking revenge on Jessica, but uncontrollably found himself wanting. to be entangled with her to the death..
“Admit it, Ade, Jessica said, gently caressing his face, her tone as soft as a ghost, “you just can’t let go of me.
Jessica’s voice was like a hook, drawing him in further, but suddenly Adam felt bored. He rolled out of bed, “I’m done.”
Jessica was still talking in bed, he found it too noisy and decided to get

up to pour a glass of water, only to discover that one of th: cups in the house was missing He frowned, it was the ceramic cup
Earlier, Josie said she wanted to learn how to make pottery, so they each made a cup for the other. The cup Adam made had a small line of text engraved on the bottom.
“Exclusive to Josic.”
At that time, the heat was not controlled well, and a small dot was smudged on the “i” of “Josie exclusive“. Adam then took a special pen and outlined a heart on top of it. Seeing this, Josie also skillfully drew one above the “Ade exclusive“.
“That’s what makes a pair, Josie commented satisfactorily.”
But now, there is only one “Ade exclusive” cup left on the coffee table.
He didn’t know why he suddenly thought of Josie, attributing it to his love for her.
But did he really love Josie? If he loved Josie, would he really have slept with Jessica?
Adam repeatedly told himself that he slept with Jessica just to get back at her. Just for revenge.
Lost in thought, he didn’t notice Jessica’s gaze at the ceramic cup, filled with venomous resentment.
“Admit it, Adam, you just can’t let go of Jessica, Josie didn’t want to waste any more time with Adam. She sneered, “If you can’t let go, just be with her directly And I already have my own family now, so please don’t come and bother me anymore.

“But I did love you Adam lowered his head, gripping Jesie’s hand and refusing to let her go. A sense of inexplicable fear filled his heart. as he had a gut feeling that if he let go this time, he would never see her again.”
“De you love me? Josie sneered, “Only you know how much of your love is real and how much is fake. Your sister is the only one in your family who truly treats me well!“”
Josie forcefully broke free from his embrace and ignored him as she went straight back to the jewelry store. As soon as she entered the store, she saw Nora anxiously waiting for her. Seeing her return, Nora quickly led her back.
“Go to the hospital”
“Grandpa had an accident.“
