Chapter 188 Two Edge Sword
Lysander simply flashed a subtle smile.
Good friend.
These words were once a thorn in her heart, but now they had become a double–edged sword aimed at Josiah.
Zachary was still explaining, “We’ve known each other for over twenty years and grew up together. We went to the same school, from elementary to high school. When she was deciding her college major, I was the one who helped her choose medicine.”
The expression on Josiah’s face couldn’t be any gloomier.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lysander said, “Mr. Guerra is planning to buy our neighborhood’s land to develop it into an amusement park, hence his visit to survey the area.”
Zachary suddenly understood. “Oh, so that’s what it was, I initially thought it was…”
Josiah expression drastically changed. “What did you think it was?”
“Nothing, it’s nothing. As soon as I got home, my mom mentioned that our neighborhood is scheduled for demolition. Turns out, it’s actually driven by Mr. Guerra. That’s quite a coincidence.”
Lysander spoke softly. “Mr. Guerra mentioned that he plans to build a house within Harborbrook for us to be resettled. That would solve our housing problem in the future.”
Zachary was somewhat taken aback. “Really? That’s fantastic! My mom was just worrying about having to rent a house. Oh, Lysander, should our families choose the same floor and continue being neighbors? Our parents could keep visiting each other.”
Lysander chuckled and said, “All you want is to come over to my house for a free meal, just like when we were kids.”
“Haha, Mrs. Thorne’s cooking is just irresistible. I can chip in for the groceries and even lend a hand in the kitchen.”
“Don’t worry about the meal expenses. My mom always thought she was an exceptional cook, but sadly, both Michelle and I barely eat at home. And you know how my dad is, he never says anything complimentary. But you, on the other hand, always have a creative way to praise her cooking. Not only that, you’d even take leftovers home. She would love it if you visited every day.”
Zachary felt a bit embarrassed. “Don’t air my dirty laundry in front of others, alright? Can you at least save. me some dignity…”
“Alright, alright, now that you’re here, don’t leave. When I just came down from upstairs, my mom mentioned she was about to cook. Want to join us for a meal?”
“Um…” Zachary, rubbing his hands together with a sly grin, asked, “Is it really okay?”
“Of course. Once you’re done eating, pack some food for Mdm. Camila as well. That way, she won’t have to cook dinner.”
Zachary broke into a wide smile, his eyes sparkling. “That’s fantastic,” he said. “My mom has never liked cooking, and I’m sick to death of instant noodles.”
Chapter 188 Two Edge Sword
“If she ever gets tired of cooking in the future, she’s always welcome to come over to my place for meals. It’s just my parents at home, and they’d enjoy the company.”
“Well, I won’t be a stranger then.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Lysander looked at Josiah and said, “Mr. Guerra, we’ll be taking our leave now. When I’m free, I’ll give you a
treat.”
After speaking, they took Zachary’s hand and headed toward the entrance of the building.
As they weren’t walking fast, Zachary’s voice could still be faintly heard.
“Lysander, isn’t today Mr. Guerra’s engagement party? Instead of accompanying his bride–to–be, he’s out here looking at property? Talk about dedication.”
Lysander just gave a slight smile, calmly stating. “As long as the bride isn’t upset, that’s all that matters.”
“True. This is their business. It’s not our place to worry.”
“Mmm–hmm.”
“You know what’s strange. I’ve never seen a divorced couple getting along as well as you two do. Chatting and laughing together, just like good friends.”

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....
