The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Pretend That Everything Is Fine
Susan stepped forward and wrapped her in a warm embrace, a soft affection reflected in her eyes. “Have you been swamped with work lately? You seem to have lost weight.”
Lysander responded, “You know how busy hospitals always are. Never a moment to rest.”
“Come, let’s sit.” Susan took her hand and pulled her down to sit together before she asked. “Have you gone to visit Mom yet?”
Lysander nodded. “I even brought a bouquet of flowers with me.”
Susan nodded with a hint of melancholy. “That’s good. Lysander, she had some words left unsaid before she passed away, but I saw how she kept looking at you. She probably wanted to tell you something. If you ever dream of her in the future, please let me know.”
Lysander nodded. “All right.”
After much hesitation, Susan finally spoke up. “Josiah… is engaged to Lysanne.”
“I already know.”
Susan was somewhat taken aback. “You knew? Then your visit today is for…”
-Madam Susan, please don’t misunderstand. It’s merely a coincidence. Today is the birthday of my mother’s close friend, and our whole family is here to celebrate with her.”
Susan’s smile froze on her face. “Oh, is that so?”
“Yeah.
Susan let out a sigh, then chuckled. “I see.”
Lysander said, “Madam Susan, I need to go now. The others are waiting for me.”
Susan gave a slight nod. “All right, go ahead. Don’t keep the elders waiting.
“Okay, then I’ll be leaving now.”
“All right… Lysander.”
Susan called out to her once again.
“Yes?”
“Never mind, forget it. Susan began to speak but stopped herself. In the end, she decided not to voice her thoughts and briskly waved her hand. “Work is work, but you also need to take good care of yourself, understand?”
“Got it. Thank you, Madam Susan.”
Exiting the private room, Lysander slowly made her way toward Camila’s table.
In truth, both of them knew exactly what Susan wanted to say.
However, precisely because of this, they all knew that voicing those words wouldn’t change anything. It was

better to part ways with dignity, as at least they could pretend that everything was fine when they met again.
When she returned to the dining table, her mother, Laura, glanced behind her. “Lysa, where’s your sister?”
Lysander pulled out a chair and sat down in her spot. “Oh, Michelle has a bit of a stomach upset.”
Laura began to fret, “Why on earth did she get a stomach ache all of a sudden? She didn’t eat anything unclean this morning. This child, I swear! We were just waiting for her to arrive so we could start the meal. Now look at this! All these elders are waiting for her alone…”

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....
