Chapter 153 Returning To The Hometown.
Daphne asked: Do you regret exposing her scandal in public?
At that very moment, Lysander had already taken a seat on the high–speed train bound for home.
Looking at the WhatsApp message from Daphne, to be honest, she felt there was a tiny bit of regret in her
heart.
The image of Lysanne’s parents pleading with Josiah that day lingered in her mind for a long time.
She recalled Susan mentioning a few times before that the Thorne family held some significance. Howard, self–made and industrious, had built a considerable fortune from scratch. In his youth, he was an extraordinarily determined and capable man.
As for Lysanne’s mother, it was said that she was a music teacher and a very respectable and elegant woman.
Yet, for the sake of her daughter, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and humbly ask a favor from someone of a younger generation. That left Lysander with a bitter feeling in her heart.
Daphne said, “Even she, as the daughter, doesn’t feel guilty. Why should you feel upset? She knew well that her parents and Josiah were outside, yet she was acting as if she were on her deathbed in the ward. Isn’t it just to force her parents to plead with Josiah? Because of the issue with Grandma Elisa, Josiah despises her now. If it weren’t for her parents, and she was alone there, acting as if she wanted to die, do you think Josiah would bother with her?”
Lysander said, “Well, he did love her once. How could he just stand by and watch her die?”
Daphne laughed. “Do you really believe she would take her life? Let me tell you, those who cry and shout about ending their lives are only doing so to manipulate others. Those who are truly desolate, they leave silently, all by themselves.”
“And how do you know about that?”
“During our senior year, I was just like this. Have you forgotten?”
That statement stirred up the deep–seated memories of Lysander once again.
The situation involved Harry back during senior year.
Before Daphne evolved into a shrewd, back when she was still the innocent high school girl known as Harper, Harry had stepped on her to secure a guaranteed admission to Apex University. She was left heartbroken, having failed her own entrance exams, and even dragged her best friend, Lysander, down with her. Feeling utterly desolate, Harper had secretly run off to Harborbrook, intending to end her life by jumping into the
sca
By the time her parents realized they couldn’t reach their daughter, it was already the next morning.
Lysander had searched for her throughout the night, and at last, she found Harper on a seaside rock, in the midst of penning her farewell letter.
Daphne’s voice became unexpectedly emotional. “Lysander, do you know? I was ready to die back then. I was prepared to leave quietly without telling anyone. However, you appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly, I didn’t want to die anymore. There was someone in this world who was worried about me and searched for me all night. I realized then, what did Harry, that b*stard, matter? There was someone on this earth who loved me so much. It would have been such a waste if I had just died like that.”

Lysander chuckled. “Hey, didn’t you hold me and cry a lot back then, promising to take care of me for a lifetime? You need to stick to your word, you know.”
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t, and don’t change the topic. My main point here is that the homewrecker was simply using her parents to pressure Josiah, forcing him to accept her. It’s not like she genuinely wanted to die.”
Lysander gave a noncommittal, “Right.”
“Let’s not talk about that now. Is your sister feeling any better?”
Lysander’s brows furrowed once again.
Her younger sister, Michelle, was just two months away from her crucial exams when her grades suddenly plummeted.

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....
