Chapter 416 Does Not Want To See Me
Howard opened his mouth but didn’t utter a single word after a moment of hesitation.
Lysander sighed helplessly. “Didn’t you say this matter had nothing to do with Josiah?”
“It’s not really like that…” Howard stammered.
Lysander shook her head in resignation. fh, never mind. The situation was critical back then, and we indeed saved Old Mrs. Everhart’s life. Mr. Thorne probably kept this from me because he didn’t want me to feel awkward considering my recent breakup with Josiah. His intention was good.
Lysander had always considered herself a reasonable person. Moreover, regarding this matter, she didn’t feel she had the right to blame anyone.
The phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the
Caller ID and realized it was her younger sister, Michelle.
Stepping out of the ward, she answered the call. “What’s up?
“Lysander, are you busy right now?”
“Not really. What is it?”
Michelle’s voice was noticeably hushed, and she whispered sneakily “Um… the woman who was in charge. of the demolition came by again just now, pressuring us for a response. Mom and Dad didn’t want me to tell you, but I called you secretly.”
“How are Mom and Dad doing now?”
“I overheard them talking in their room. It seemed like Mom was planning to make a trip back to her hometown, apparently to borrow some money from her cousin. Dad was busy sending messages to his friends, presumably also trying to borrow money.”
“Where are you now?”
y own room.
“I’m in my
Lysander took a deep breath. “All right, I got it. I’ll figure something out. You must promise not to take on that kind of part–time job again, okay?”
“No, no, I won’t. I dare not go there again,” she promised.
Lysander asked, “By the way, has Zachary contacted you?”
“No, but I just gave him a call. After all, he helped me get this part–time job through his connections. It wouldn’t be right if I suddenly didn’t show up. I had to let him know and apologize, don’t you think?”
Lysander spoke softly. “Try to avoid contacting him in the future. He’s quite busy with his work, so don’t bother him.”
“Oh, okay.”

Chapter 416 Does Not Want To See Me
Soon, I think That woman was quite relentless.”
After some thought, Lysander asked, “Do you have many classes at your school these few days?”
“Not at all. That was why I took on a part–time job.”
“Okay. Thy to spend some more time with Mom and Dad recently. I’ll figure out a solution for the as soon as I can.”
Michelle responded, “All right, got it.”
money
“Don’t stress yourself out too much. You’re still young. I’ll take care of everything, so just focus on your studies. When I’m not at home, take good care of Mom and Dad.”
After ending the call, Lysander returned to the ward and informed Howard she needed to go before leaving the hospital.
On the road, she dialed Josiah’s number several times in a row, but no one answered.
During her last attempt, the automated message indicated he had turned off his phone.
So, she reached out to Daphne.
Daphne sounded relaxed. “Grandma’s getting on in years, after all, and we’re prepared for any outcome. This surgery was indeed timely. All we can do now is to leave the rest to fate.”
Lysander asked, “How are things going at Mr. Everhart’s factory?”
Daphne chuckled wryly. “How can we even compare to Guerra Group? Since Josiah wants to collaborate, no one will choose us. I’ve been talking to my dad these past few days, mentally preparing him for the worst. If things really don’t work out, we might as well shut down the company. After all, we still have some savings at home. He could take my mom on a vacation and relax.”
“Daphne, do you have Zane’s WhatsApp?”
“Yeah, I bet that guy is still lurking around in Instagram playing some sort of undercover game. What about it? Did he offend you?”
“No, can you give me his WhatsApp, please?”
“Do you need something from him?”
“What business do you have with Zane? You two don’t really cross paths, do you?”
“I’m not looking for Zane. I need to talk to Josiah.”
Daphne immediately became anxious. “You’re not thinking of getting back together with Josiah for the sake of my family’s company, are you? Please, don’t! I’ve said it before, I want my parents to retire and close down the company. I didn’t say it out of spite. I genuinely want them to take a break and enjoy life.”
“It wasn’t just about this. I need to talk to him about other things too. Daphne, focus on taking care of Old Mrs. Everhart and Mr. Everhart. I really need to speak with him.”
Probably taken aback. Zane promptly called her. “Can I… help you?”
İs.”
Lysande: said. “Yes, I would like to know where Josiah is.”
“Don’t you have his contact information?”
A few minutes passed, and Zane returned the call. “Josiah might be busy today. Do you need to talk to him?”
“Lysander, you’re nice, so let me be honest with you. I’m not sure what happened between you and Josiah that made him so determined to cut ties. Last night at Skywatch, I thought he’d get angry and beat up those two jerks, but as you saw, he didn’t want to get involved at all. You should know considering his attitude toward you now… I don’t think he’ll want to meet you.”
Zane chuckled awkwardly. “Josiah was so devoted to you before this. He even stayed overnight at the hospital for your sake, sleeping on those uncomfortable cots and suffering burn wounds. And what did he get in return? Your rejection. Any man in his position will choose to give up. You have no idea what he was like in the past. We’re all surprised to see him humble himself and do all those things for you.”
“So you got in touch with him just now, right?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
