Chapter 420 I'm Not That Kind
After that, the two began regular psychological therapy.
Josephine's situation was unknown, but Stuart felt that his condition had improved somewhat during this period.
To be honest, he hadn't had an easy time these past few years.
During the marriage, he couldn't see his own heart clearly and repeatedly did things that hurt Josephine. But in fact, he himself was also suffering.
After Josephine left, he endured five years of painful torment.
From the time Josephine returned until now, his heart had never been at ease.
Even now, with the two of them officially together and having met each other's parents, he still didn't feel secure. This, in itself, was not a normal psychological state.
In front of Josephine, Stuart naturally wouldn't show it. But he knew in his heart that often, feelings of anxiety and restlessness would accompany him.
After a few sessions with the doctor, his mindset began to change gradually.
The communication between Stuart and Josephine also increased.
In fact, Josephine could also see that Stuart lacked a sense of security. The doctor said that in love, a sense of security was actually very important. Liking someone was essential, but sometimes, "being needed" was equally important.
Stuart now seemed to lack confidence. He felt that he had hurt Josephine, and there were several men with similar conditions who liked Josephine. Why did she still choose him?
When the doctor asked him this question, Stuart had no confidence at all to say that she couldn't live without him.
The doctor also told Josephine about Stuart's situation.
Josephine could actually feel Stuart's cautiousness towards her. But she didn't expect Stuart to be so lacking in confidence.
So in the past few days, their interactions were somewhat tentative, actually following the doctor's advice to take care of each other's emotions.
Whether it was effective or not, Josephine didn't know. But she felt that their relationship was indeed getting better and better.
Every time Stuart sent her home, she was reluctant to let him leave. Could this be the so-called honeymoon phase? Who would have thought that at almost thirty, she would find falling in love to be quite sweet.
After some time, Josephine no longer resisted going to the psychological therapy studio.
However, Stuart had a shareholders' meeting that day and couldn't get away, so he discussed with Josephine to go in the afternoon. But Josephine had an appointment with Kathy in the afternoon, so she went alone in the morning.
Through conversations with the doctor, Josephine now also understood how to correctly express her love. Loving someone meant letting them know. When two people worked towards the same direction, the effects were naturally visible to the naked eye.
After talking with Josephine, the doctor praised her state and said that if they continued like this, their problems would probably be resolved. Josephine walked out of the studio, feeling very happy.
She looked down to send a message to Stuart when she suddenly heard someone calling her, "Josephine!"
She looked up and saw Angela.
"It's you." Josephine regained her composure after the initial surprise. "Do you need something?"
"Let's talk."
"Talk? Is there anything to talk about between us?"
"Of course there is. After all, we both like the same man."
"That's normal. After all, Stuart is quite excellent, and many people like him," Josephine said. "But he might only like one person."
"You don't need to show off your superiority in front of me," Angela said. "You'll regret it if you don't talk to me."
Ten minutes later, the two were sitting in a nearby café.
Angela glanced at her. Josephine had been beautiful since she was young—the kind of beauty that easily attracted everyone's attention.
Angela knew she didn't have the advantage in looks and had been jealous of Josephine since childhood. So, when Robin gave her an opportunity, she grabbed it tightly.
To this day, she found herself in a sorry state, while Josephine stood tall, now the daughter of The Clarence Family, standing at a pinnacle Angela could never reach.
Josephine also glanced at Angela. In the past, every time she saw Angela, Angela always had a bit of cuteness, like an innocent rich girl. Back then, she looked innocent and bright. But now, her face was haggard, her clothes were old-fashioned, and her whole spirit was worlds apart from before.
Josephine spoke, "Go ahead."
Angela said, "I know Stuart is with you now, but don't be too pleased. How long can a man's love last?"
"That's none of your concern," Josephine said. "Didn't you say you had something to say? Hurry up, I'm in a rush."
"Josephine!" Angela couldn't control her emotions. She hadn't intended to say these things, but seeing Josephine, jealousy began to spread in her heart.
She said, "Why do you get all the good things? You..."
Josephine interrupted her, "Angela, if you called me here just to say these useless things, then you can stop now. You did something wrong, and you have the nerve to question me here?"
"I just think it's unfair! How am I worse than you?"
"Maybe Stuart is blind," Josephine said. "After all, you are quite excellent."
"Are you deliberately mocking me?"
Josephine's patience ran out. "So, do you have something to say or not? If not, I'm leaving."
"I do!" Angela took a deep breath. "Yes, I know I did something wrong, but what I did wrong has nothing to do with my family. Why is Stuart making things difficult for my family?"
Josephine was puzzled, "Taking responsibility alone? When your family made so much money off Stuart, why didn't you say anything? If you did something wrong, you should bear the corresponding responsibility. Those things you shouldn't have gotten are destined to be returned."
"With Stuart's business being so successful, why can't he partner with our family? No matter what, we grew up together. How can he be so heartless?"
"Probably because you deceived him for many years. Angela, you're strange. Do you still think you're in the right? Everyone wronged you?"
"Even if I was wrong, I don't deserve it, right? Stuart doesn't have to be so ruthless, does he? He's driving my parents to death! Now our whole family is crammed into a shabby old apartment. Do you know what kind of life we're living?"
"I don't care," Josephine said. "Stuart has no reason to be soft on you because the harm you caused him can't be measured with money."
"Aren't you together now?" Angela shouted. "What more do you want? Do you want to drive me to death?"
"Not necessarily," Josephine said. "At least you still have a roof over your head, and you can still wear brand-name clothes. Compared to many people, you're already very lucky."
Angela gritted her teeth, "Josephine, you really won't help me?"
Josephine said, "I'm not that kind-hearted, nor will I pity you. Take care of yourself."
Josephine got up and left.
Angela looked at her back with hatred, "Josephine, you'll regret this!"
