Chapter 101 Too Lenient
Lysander explained, “It’s true that I wanted to buy a house, but it’s not what you’re thinking…”
“All right, no need to defend yourself any further, I understand. Look, the moment you felt pain, your husband was so worried. It’s clear that your relationship is still strong,” said the staff..
Lysander was taken aback.
Josiah simply responded, “Mhm.”
Lysander was confused.
With courtesy. Josiah nodded at the staff. “I apologize for the trouble I’ve caused today.”
“No worries, it’s no trouble at all. I deal with divorces every day, witnessing couples fight over assets and children until the cows come home. It’s actually quite refreshing to encounter a loving pair like you
two.
After serving the water, the staff member was about to leave. With a smile, he gave a friendly pat on Josiah’s shoulder. “Handsome man, I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.”
With a smile, Josiah expressed his thanks.
Turning around, he found himself meeting Lysander’s inquisitive gaze. “What’s wrong?”
“Why the sudden change of heart?” questioned Lysander.
“Sudden?” Josiah gave a bitter smile. “Not sudden at all.”
Pretending not to understand his words, Lysander firmly stated, “It was something that needed to be done sooner or later.”
Josiah said, “Let’s see.”
“Josiah, what are you trying to say?”
Josiah clasped his hands together, pausing for a moment before he spoke. “Lysander, I…”
Suddenly, the cellphone began to ring.
The two were seated closely. Lysander glanced over and noticed that it was a call from Lysanne.
Lysander asked, “Should I step aside?”
Josiah shook his head. “No need.”
I’m not very mobile. How about you go outside to meet her?”
“No need,” replied Josiah, his tone icy as he picked up the call. “What’s up?”
However in the next moment his expression turned serious and he called out “Mr Thorne

Over there, it was unclear what was being said, but all through it, Josiah was just responding with “Mmm.”

Only after hanging up the phone, Josiah quickly stood up. “Lysander, something urgent has come up that I need to handle. I’ll have someone take you home.”
“So, we’re not processing the paperwork today?” asked Lysander.
“Next time.” Josiah held his phone and made a call, sharing his location. After hanging up, he turned to her and said, “Wait here for a bit, about ten minutes. Someone will come to pick you up. Your leg is injured, so don’t try to walk on your own.”
Lysander asked, “Who? Your secretary?” Isn’t his current secretary Lysanne’s cousin? I heard he was a gambling addict, and I do not want to associate myself with him.

It seemed as though Josiah could see right through her thoughts. He said solemnly, “I’ve already fired. him, and Ms. Collins has been rehired.”
Lysander was somewhat taken aback. “Lysanne didn’t make a fuss?”
A fierce glint passed through Josiah’s eyes. “We can’t always resort to creating a scene to solve everything. I was too lenient with her before.”

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
