Chapter 168 His Thoughts
“How long would you have hesitated if I hadn’t spoken up? Haven’t you learned from your past mistakes? It was your constant indecisiveness that led Lysander to marry that rich man, a match that was clearly unsuitable. Lysander herself hasn’t been living well either.”
“Mom…”
“All right, fine, I won’t say any more. You can explain it to Maverick and Laura yourself.”
Zachary was completely flushed, clearly caught off guard by his mother’s blunt approach. He was relieved that Lysander wasn’t present. Otherwise, he would have wished for a crack in the ground to swallow him up.
As Zachary’s face turned beet–red while he stuttered in obvious discomfort, Laura said, “Zach, why don’t you go check the kitchen? We’ve been here for quite a while, yet the food hasn’t arrived.”
Zachary, feeling as if he had received a royal pardon, immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go right now.”
The three younger ones had departed, leaving only the three elders at the table.
mila was sipping her coffee with a cheerful smile, her tone as casual as a breeze on a clear day. “This is flat white. It has a rich and fragrant flavor.”
The expressions on the faces of the couple, Laura and Maverick, were somewhat unnatural. They responded with a few perfunctory remarks, but their hearts were no longer as joyful as when they first arrived.
As soon as Michelle left the restaurant, she hailed a taxi.
Before she could get into the taxi, Lysander caught up with her. “Do you have enough money on you? Both of you aren’t working right now, so your financial situation is tight. You can’t always let Calvin foot the bill.”
Immediately, Michelle shook her head vehemently. “Lysander…”
“All right, I got it.”
“Thanks, Lysander!”
Watching her sister hastily depart in a taxi, Lysander could only shake her head in amusement and helplessness before transferring a thousand to her.
Upon turning around, she spotted a familiar face.
“Zachary? Why are you out here too?“.
Zachary’s smile carried a hint of awkwardness as he replied, “The elders have their own topics to talk about. With a youngster like me around, they won’t be able to speak freely.”
Lysander gave a nod.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Yeah, much better.”
“Are you in a hurry to get back? If not, let me accompany you for a stroll.”
Chapter 168 His Thoughts
Lysander understood immediately, teasing him with a laugh, “Elderly folks pressuring you to marry can indeed be quite bothersome. Mdm. Camila hasn’t let up on you these past few years, has she?”
“No, she hasn’t…”
“Regardless, you’re aware of Michelle’s situation. She’s a young girl experiencing her first love. I’m afraid nothing can pull her back here, so you’ll have to give up on her becoming a daughter–in–law to your family.”
Zachary awkwardly rubbed his hands. “I know. I’m well aware of her situation. That guy is really quite decent. They make a good pair.”
“From what I can see now, they do seem quite compatible. However, I’ll need to look into his family background later. I used to think the concept of a couple being well–matched in status was old–fashioned, but reflecting on my personal experience, there’s actually some truth to it.”
Almost instantly, Zachary asked, “You also think it’s pretty good when couples are from similar backgrounds. right?”
Lysander nodded. “At least if a couple have similar experiences growing up and share the same values, they might have more common topics to talk about, unlike what happened to me. All I can say is, people from. different social classes shouldn’t force a connection.”
Zachary cracked a small smile, a hint of embarrassment creeping in as he scratched his head. “True, you make a valid point.”
“Zachary.”
“Hmmm?”

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....
