The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 You Do Not Understand Love

Lysander gave him a profound glance, expressed her gratitude, and then promptly altered her course to pursue her younger sister

Michelle didn’t go far. She was just sitting in the gazebo near the entrance of the residential area

Lysander,Michelle called out, her eyes red

You like that boy that much?” 

After some thought, Michelle nodded. Mmhmm.” 

But as you know, his family isn’t welloff, and his own academic performance is just average. His future prospects might not be too promising. Moreover, your grades have dropped since you started dating him. Mom and Dad won’t approve.” 

But Lysander, do we really need to set so many standards when it comes to liking someone? Yes, he’s not as successful as Josiah, his family isn’t as wealthy, and he’s not as handsome. But he likes me! Lysander, you married a man who’s perfect in every way, but are you truly happy?” 

Lysander found herself somewhat taken aback by Michelle’s question

Michelle pouted. Lysander, ever since we were little, you’ve been my idol. You’re amazing at everything you do, and you’re beautiful too. Teachers, classmates, relatives, friends, and even neighbors adore you. I’ve always looked up to you. But Lysander, you don’t understand love.” 

The night air carried a slight chill

Lysander stood under the gazebo, her gaze fixed on her younger sister, whom she had watched mature from childhood

Those around her had occasionally remarked that despite being sisters by blood, Michelle bore little resemblance to her

She was slender and tall, while Michelle was charmingly petite. Her looks were on the gentle side, whereas Michelle was clearly a lively troublemaker at first glance. She was precocious and intelligent, while Michelle was rather childish

She had always felt that being the eldest sister, she was somewhat more mature than her younger sister

Yet, Michelle’s words left her with no strength to argue back

Indeed, she didn’t understand love

She believed that marriage was about finding a compatible partner to share her life with, yet love couldn’t be quantified or confined to mere suitability

Regardless of the boy’s seemingly unpromising future, Michelle loved him

Similarly, no matter how domineering and unreasonable Lysanne was, Josiah still loved her

Being reasonable is a matter of rationality, while love is often about acting without reason

Lysanderwhy have you stopped talking?” 

Chapter 161 You Do Not Undersland Love 

Lysander shook her head. Do you really like him that much?” 

Michelle nodded emphatically. I like him, and he likes me. Lysander, I understand what you’re saying, but we’ve already discussed this. Even if he can’t find a good job in the future and even if he doesn’t earn much, I’m willing to struggle with him.” 

Mhm.” 

Regardless, whether you agree or not, I’m going to be with him.” 

I agree.” 

Michelle abruptly stood up. Lysander” 

Lysander gave a small smile, ascending the steps and taking Michelle’s hand. I support you in this. I’ll talk to Mom and Dad. You just focus on your exams, okay?” 

Michelle was touched. Lysander, how come you’re so understanding all of a sudden? I thought Mom and Dad sent you to lecture me.” 

Because I think you’re right. Love is devoid of reason. If you can find someone you truly cherish, then hold onto them dearly.” 

Hearing that, Michelle actually began to hesitate. Lysander, what if he really ends up penniless in the future?” 

After giving it some thought, Lysander said, Then just focus on being the best version of yourself.”
