Chapter 420 Leave Me Alone
“That’s not what I meant.” Lysander tried to explain.
“Who were you trying to impress with that fearless, ready–to–sacrifice–yourself act you just pulled?”
“I’m sorry.”
Josiah chuckled. “Lysander, if you don’t love me, then just leave me alone. Like you said, let’s act like strangers. I won’t bother you anymore, and we’ll both go our separate ways.”
They parted on bad terms.
On her way back, Lysander sat in the taxi, exhausted like never before.
Josiah used her own words against her, silencing her. Although he may have said that out of spite, his words still made sense.
She was the one who said they should become strangers, and now, she was also the one who took the initiative to seek him out.
Closing her eyes in thought, she called Michelle.
As soon as the call connected, Michelle spoke in a somewhat anxious tone. “Lysander, Mom took a bus back to her hometown this morning!”
Lysander rubbed her temples, irritated. “Didn’t I ask you to talk to her?
“I tried to, but Dad and Mom didn’t want to burden you. They decided to gather some money on their own, borrowing as much as they could.”
“All right, I understand.” Lysander then asked, “Has Zachary contacted you?”
“How did you know I just got off the phone with him?”
Lysander grew anxious. “What did he say to you?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not about the part–time job. He said he’s recently on his annual leave and has some free time. Coincidentally, a new ski resort just opened in the outskirts. He asked me if I wanted to go skiing.”
“And you….
Michelle replied, “I turned him down. I’m aware that we’re going through a tough time at home recently. How could I possibly go out and have fun when you, Mom, and Dad are all working hard to solve the crisis? I declined his invitation, and, he’s very understanding. He even invited me and Dad to have dinner at his place tonight. It’s perfect timing since Mom isn’t home, and neither Dad nor I are particularly good. at cooking. We’ll get to enjoy Mdm. Camila’s cooking-
“Mich, didn’t you say you wanted to have Epean cuisine?” Lysander interrupted her.
Michelle was taken aback by the sudden question. “What? When did I ever say that?”
“When Daphne’s dad treated us to dinner.”

Chapter 420 Leave Me Alone
since we’ve always been having Ecronian cuisine, we could give Epean cuisine a try. After all, Mom and Dad have never tasted Epean cuisine before.”
“Stay home with Dad and wait for me. I’ll be there to pick you up. Let’s go out for dinner tonight,” Lysander said.
“But I thought we’re supposed to be saving money now…”
“Saving for a house isn’t as simple as skipping a meal. It’s not like we’ll save a lot by skimping on one meal. I’ll probably be home in about twenty minutes. Wait for me by the entrance”
“Oh, okay.”
The taxi pulled up to the entrance of the residential area, where Maverick and Michelle were already waiting by the roadside.
Lysander spoke to the driver, then beckoned her father and sister to get in the car.
Maverick was a bit puzzled. “Lysa, why are we suddenly dining out? Epean cuisine is rather expensive. We should be more frugal lately. Camila and Zach just called us over for dinner.”
Lysander smiled and reassured, “Zachary has been too busy to spend time with Mdm. Camila lately. Let’s allow them some mother–son bonding time.”
“You’re right. Zach has indeed been swamped with work recently. He hasn’t been home a lot. Camila really missed her son.” Maverick nodded.
“Yeah, so let’s not interrupt their mother–son quality time,” said Lysander.
Her reason successfully persuaded Maverick.,
Naturally, Michelle didn’t have any objections. Ever since that night at Skywatch, she had learned her lesson and was now behaving quite obediently.
“Where are we going to eat?” she asked.
Lysander wasn’t particularly fond of Epean cuisine. She had searched for a few restaurants on a popular review site, but none of them really caught her eye.
In this regard, Daphne was quite the expert.
She sent Daphne screenshots of a few restaurants, asking her to pick one.
“Grandma’s doing fine. My dad is there with her. I came back on my own.”
“I’m doing okay, but…” Daphne sniffled and chuckled bitterly. “You might have to provitle for me in the future.”
What do you mean?”
Lysander suddenly remembered that this was the reason Rufus treated her family to a meal last time.
“Lysander, my parents have been supporting me all these years. When Grandma is ill lately, my dad is struggling to keep the company afloat while also tending to Grandma. He lost nearly thirty pounds from the stress. If the factory were to be auctioned off, all his life’s work would be in vain. To

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....
