Chapter 189 Mourning My Lost Love
Lysander’s life continued as usual.
In any life, there was bound to be problems.
a
First, she needed to find a new place for her parents to move into as soon as possible.
Secondly, her younger sister had experienced a heartbreak.
Lysander didn’t really have a solution for this. She also wasn’t particularly good at giving advice, and it seemed as though no amount of counsel would help with heartbreak. However, doing nothing wasn’t an option as she only had one sister.
So, when Michelle pleaded with her to go for a drink, Lysander thought for a moment and agreed.
At her age, she was the spitting image of Daphne from the past. Back then, Daphne had been so distraught that she almost broke down mentally, to the point of considering suicide. Michelle, however, merely sought solace in alcohol to temporarily numb herself. At least her life wasn’t in any danger.
Lysander chose a fairly respectable bar, requesting the most secluded booth. She let her younger sister sit inside, shielding her from view while she sat on the outside. This was to prevent any unwelcome guests from spotting the intoxicated young lady and getting any improper ideas.
Michelle already had too much to drink, while her face was wet with tears. Hiccupping, she sprawled herself on the table. “Lysander, when you divorced Josiah, was it painful?”
Lysander said, “It’s okay, I guess.”
Michelle’s lips quivered, tears starting to flow again. “Why am I even asking you? You’re like some kind of superhuman, unaffected by trivial matters such as love and affection.”
“Mm–hmm.”
“But Lysander, I’m devastated,” Michelle sat up straight, taking another gulp of her cold beer. “I argued with Mom and Dad for him. I even planned to move to the capital for him, but this is how he treats me.”
The night before, Michelle was all alone, squatting in the small garden downstairs as she called her sister. As soon as Lysander came down, she was embraced by Michelle who then burst into tears.
At that time, she couldn’t probe further. Her priority was to soothe her sister’s emotions.
Fortunately, Michelle still had a bit of sense left in her. By the time the two returned home, she had managed to stifle her sobs, moving quietly and gently so as not to wake her parents.
She had pleaded with Lysander early in the morning to bring her out for a drink. She managed to hold herself together during the journey, but once they arrived and she had a few sips of alcohol, she completely lost control and broke down in tears, sobbing so hard that she could hardly catch his breath.
“What did he say to you yesterday?”
Michelle bit her lip and cursed, “The b*stard was forcing me to choose between my parents and my love. If I chose my family, he would break up with me.”
Lysander listened, her brow furrowed in concern. “Did he really say that?”

“Mmm–hmm.” Michelle nodded in a daze.
“And what if you had chosen love?”
Michelle suddenly let out a snigger. “He said that if I chose him, he would tell his parents, reject the arranged marriage, and then elope with me to the capital. Does he think I’m a fool? This choice costs him nothing, as we’d still be following the original plan of studying together in the capital. As for eloping, his family would still be paying his tuition. What kind of clopement is that?”
Lysander couldn’t help but chuckle. “Don’t you think cloping is pretty cool?”
Michelle gave her an incredulous look. “Lysander, are you even my sister?”
“What do you think?”
Michelle firmly shook her head. “My sister is both smart and rational. She wouldn’t ask such a foolish question.”
“Did it not occur to you that I was thinking from your perspective, believing that you would consider eloping as something really cool?”

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....
