The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Come Back To Steal Your Husband 

Jostali was growing impatient and reached out to grab the room card from her hand, but Lysanne skillfully dodged him once again and gave him a warning glance. 

“Lysanne!” Josiah warned. 

“What’s the matter?” Lysanne rolled her eyes. “Dr. Thorne has never been to this hotel before, so I’m just showing her around. Why are you shouting?” 

“Can you please stop fooling around?” 

Ignoring him, Lysame firmly placed the room key to the suite on the 2nd floor “‘s hand 

with a firm gesture. “Dr. Thorne, I’ve visited this hotel many times, so if you’re not familiar with the layout, feel free to ask me. The restaurant is on your right after you exit the door and contimic walking 

Lysander looked at the room key in her hand, raised her eves slightly, and locked gazes with Lysanne. The two exchanged glances, both understanding what the other was thinking. Lysanne was trying to show off to her, boasting about her full authority” over Josiah, while Lysander looked back without any weakness, indicating that she was unfazed. 

Lysander shook the room key in her hand and said softly, “Thank you, Miss Thorne, but I can speak. If I’m not familiar with the layout, I can always ask the statt. You don’t have to bother showing me the way.” 

Iysanne smiled and nodded. “That’s true. Dr. Thorne, feel free to do as you please.” 

Lysander hadn’t brought much luggage for the trip, as she wasn’t one to dress up and so didn’t have many clothes. Besides, she always wore her white coat at work, so it didn’t matter how nice the clothes. she bought were. She had only brought some personal items, all stuffed in her handbag. 

“I’m going back to my room first.” 

She didn’t take the elevator, but instead walked up the stairs to the second floor. After getting back in her room, she closed the door and felt as if she had lost all her strength. 

The phone had been ringing non-stop with Daphne’s calls, and Lysander finally answered, “Hello?” 

“What’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to go on vacation? Why have you suddenly decided to leave?” 

Lysander briefly explained what had happened that day, and Dapline immediately sneered. “Just divorce him. What best friend? It’s all nonsense! This Lysamme has clearly come back to steal your husband.” 

She asked, “Daphne, are you free tomorrow?” 

“Yes, why?” 

“It’s hard to get a ride down the mountain from here, Can you come pick me up tomorrow?” 

Dapline readily agreed. “Sure.”

Chapter 16 Come Back 16 Ste 

Lysander didn’t even go for lunch at noon. Josiah called her, asking if she wanted to have lunch together, but she said, I’m allergic to seafood.” 

Josiah coaxed, “There are other dishes available.” 

“There’s no need, I’m full.” 

“What did you have then?” 

“Witnessed PDA.” 

Josiah paused. 

She didn’t want to continue the conversation and continued impatiently, “Let’s talk tonight. I’m tired.” 

“You did wake up too early this morning. Rest first. I’ll come to find you for dinner.” 

get “I don’t need directions. I’ll just meet you at the restaurant. Miss Thorne has already told me how to g there so I can find it.” With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for him to reply. 

Lysander had woken up really early in the morning, so she once again displayed her amazing abilities and plunged into a deep, sweet dream. 

When she woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon, meaning she had slept for over three hours in one go. She rarely napped during the day but had been feeling more and more sleepy recently, as if she could fall asleep anytime and anywhere since she felt entirely drowsy. 

She suddenly felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Years of medical experience told her that her sudden drowsiness probably meant that-she was pregnant. After coming to this conclusion, Lysanne didn’t know how to react. The arrival of the child meant that she wouldn’t be kept awake by Lysanne’s anger and could maintain a good sleep, but this child… she was afraid she couldn’t keep it. 

The restaurant’s dinner service started at six o’clock, so she headed straight to the restaurant. There weren’t many people there, and the whole hall was empty; Josiah and Lysanne hadn’t arrived yet. 

Lysander ordered two servings of chicken broth and then a cup of hot milk. Chicken broth was delicious, but too much of it wasn’t healthy, especially for pregnant women, while milk was rich in protein, which was beneficial for them. She suddenly felt pitiful as Lysanne had already humiliated her, yet Lysander couldn’t abandon her professional ethics and disregard the safety of the pregnant Lysanne. 

When the broth and milk came, Josiah and Lysanne Had also arrived. 

Lysander said, “Miss Thorne, I don’t understand your tastes, so I just ordered a cup of hot milk for you first. You can order whatever you want to eat later.” 

Lysanne nodded slightly, pulled out a chair, and sat across from her. Then, she held the milk and took a sip before turning her head and spitting it out. 

Due to her professional instincts, Lysander’s first thought was morning sickness, and she reflexively handed Lysanne a few tissues, “Are you okay?”

for me.” 

orme” 

Lysander was still holding the tissues in her hand but Lysanne showed no intention of taking them, so she could only awkwardly hold her hand in midair. 

Josiah immediately took the tissues and asked, “Is there sugar in the milk?” 

“1-I didn’t ask them. 

“Lysanne has only ever drunk pure milk since she was a child and doesn’t drink milk with sugar.” 

Lysander came back to herself and chuckled. “So, if there’s sugar added, you’ll vomit?” 

Lysanne replied calmly. “Not really. I just can’t stand milk with sugar added, so I don’t want to swallow it. I have to spit it out.” 

Lysander directly called the staff over, “Just take this cup of milk away.” 

“No need. Josiah can drink it. It’s all paid for, so it’s a waste to take it away.” 

With that, Lysanne forcefully handed Josiah the cup of milk she had drunk. 

At the same time, she saw the bowl of chicken broth in front of Josiah and directly stirred it with her own spoon, picking out a piece and asking. “Is this thyme?” 

“Yes.” 

“Dr. Thorne, don’t you know? Josiah’s least favorite food is mushroom, and the taste he dislikes t most is thyme.”
