The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Like Two Different People

"Lysander, Lysander..."

In her ear was his slightly deep and hoarse voice, gentle and a hint of clinging.

After getting married for three years, Lysander Thorne was still of the opinion that Josiah Guerra was an entirely different being when in bed.

On ordinary days, Josiah was considerate and gentle, a true gentleman. But when it came to their intimate moments at night, Lysander always felt like she couldn't keep up with his stamina.

By the time it was all over, she was so sore that she couldn't even lift her arms.

And then, he grasped her arm again.

Lysander couldn't even open her eyes. She pleaded and acted coyly, "Don't you think we should stop? We both have to work tomorrow."

She was currently preparing for a job evaluation, busy to the point of exhaustion. After finishing her report in the early hours of the morning, she was dragged into a "workout" by him. At this moment, she felt like a fish out of water, so tired that she could only pant.

Josiah chuckled softly. "What are you thinking about?"

She blushed slightly. "What do you..."

His large, knuckled hands gripped her shoulder blades, his fingers gently pressing on her sore spots.

With his strong grip and great precision, a comforting sensation spread through her limbs, causing her to involuntarily let out a soft moan.

"Feels good, doesn't it?"

His voice sounded in her ear, deep and hoarse, as gentle as ever. Lysander couldn't help but blush.

As an OBGYN, she actually knew more about this kind of thing than the average person.

Unfortunately, she was only big on the theory side of things. When it came to handling the real thing, she considered herself a novice.

Fortunately, Josiah was a gentleman, and they wouldn't spend all their time clinging to each other like some other newlyweds, but they still treated each other with respect.

In fact, Lysander was very open-minded. After all, they only met through a blind date and did not go through the process of dating before entering into marriage. It was actually quite fortunate that they got along the way they did now.

"Now try moving. Do you feel better?"

Lysander tried to move her shoulder, and after his massage, it did feel much better.

"Thank you. I feel much better." She turned around. "When did you learn to give massages?"

"I learned it from an old traditional medicine practitioner before. It's been so many years, but luckily I haven't forgotten."

He gently tucked her hand under the blanket and instructed, "Go to sleep."

What is a happy marriage like? There's no definite answer to that question.

Sometimes, Lysander felt a little regretful that she didn't get to experience a passionate love relationship in her youth because she was so focused on her studies and work.

But she was content. Whether in terms of family background, appearance, character, or knowledge, Josiah was almost a perfect marriage partner.

He was not a smoker, not an alcoholic, and didn't have to socialize much. Every time he finished work, he would come home to spend time with her.

Even her bestie, Daphne Everhart, who always had a bad impression of men, said Josiah was the epitome of a perfect man.

Thus, Lysander felt very content with this husband of hers.

Especially now that she was pregnant.

Lysander gently stroked her belly and whispered, "Josiah, it's your birthday next weekend, and I have a birthday gift for you."

Suddenly, Josiah's phone vibrated. He picked it up, and his face suddenly changed.

Lysander asked, "What's wrong?"

Josiah stood up. "I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go out for a bit."

"Is it something related to the company?"

"Um… yeah." His voice was weak but soon was filled with urgency. "I have to go now."

"Okay, drive—"

Bam!
