Chapter 422 Changing Girlfriends Every Day
The expression on Lysander’s face subtly shifted.
She had always been aware of Susan’s attitude. During her last visit for dinner at their home, it was Susan who had called Josiah back. Later, Susan had insisted that he should escort her home.
Under the table, Daphne had taken hold of her hand, applying gentle pressure.
Lysander turned around, only to hear Daphne’s firm voice telling her, “Just focus on your meal; don’t worry about anything else.”
Lysander shot her a glance that implied she knew what to do.
“Mr. Guerra, you’ve returned!” Eleanor greeted him. “And who might this be?”
Josiah had returned, but he was accompanied by a woman.
It was yet another unfamiliar face.
She wasn’t a social butterfly from Skywatch, nor was she a female college student from the billiards hall. Rather, she was a refined urban beauty, appearing to be in her mid–twenties, with a rather impressive demeanor.
Daphne mumbled to herself, “Van Cleef & Arpels.”
Lysander didn’t understand. “What?”
“The earrings and necklace this woman is wearing are classic four–leaf clover designs by Van Cleef & Arpels.”
“Are they expensive?”
“Definitely not something the salaried class could afford.”
Lysander nodded, indicating she understood.
Susan wasn’t surprised by the arrival of the new girl. Clearly, she had been mentally prepared. She smiled. politely and said, “Tiffany, you came? It’s been a while, and you’ve become even more beautiful.”
“I’ve been abroad for quite some time and only recently returned home. I made it a point to visit you immediately. Here’s a small token of appreciation I brought for you. I hope you like it, Madam Susan.”
Susan gratefully accepted it with a loving smile. “You’re so thoughtful. Thank you.”
“Actually, I can’t take all the credit for this gift. Josiah accompanied me the whole of today to get it.”
Josiah gave a snort, sounding like he was complaining at first, but upon closer hearing, there was a hint of indulgence in his tone as he said, “So you do realize what I did.”
Tiffany Lanister playfully stuck out her tongue. “Well, it’s been so many years since I’ve seen Madam Susan. I have no idea what she likes now, so naturally, I need you, her dear son, to help out.
Susan opened the package, delightfully pulling out the contents. “A scarf! It’s so beautiful.”

Chapter 422 Changing Girlfriends Every Day
“Josiah mentioned that you’re currently on medication. I’m not a medical student and don’t quite know what might conflict with the medications, so I didn’t dare to bring you any supplements recklessly. This scarf is of excellent quality. I bought two – one for you and one for my mom. I picked the color and pattern for hers while Josiah selected yours.”
Susan raised an eyebrow, turning her gaze toward Josiah. “Since when did you become so adept at choosing gifts for women? This pattern is indeed quite nice.”
Josiah said. “I remember seeing you have a shawl with a pattern quite similar to this one, so I guessed your might like this style.”
“Oh, that shawl, Susan chuckled, “I really do have a fondness for that shawl.”
The mother and son were engaged in light–hearted chatter, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Eyen Howard had a few words of praise. “Susan, all these years of you doting on Josiah have not been in vain.”
Susan expressed her annoyance, “He’s just copying others. That shawl was a gift from Lysander. He’s merely plagiarizing her aesthetic sense.”
Astonished, Howard glanced at Lysander. “You bought that shawl?”
“Yes, it was during Madam Susan’s birthday last year.”
As Howard joined the conversation, Tiffany’s attention was drawn to him. She sweetly called out, “Mr.
Thorne.
Howard responded, “Hello. I didn’t know you were coming today, so I didn’t bring any gifts. I’ll make it up to you another day.”
Tiffany politely said, “As the younger one, it’s only right that I should be the one bringing gifts to you. It doesn’t make sense for me to ask you for gifts. By the way, has Mrs. Thorne’s health improved?”
“Well, she had another brush with death recently. Thankfully, she received treatment in time, but she still. needs to take it slow and recuperate.”
“Then, I’ll visit her at the hospital another day.”
Upon hearing those words, the smile on Tiffany’s face faded slightly. “Oh, is that so?”
Susan said, “Everyone, please take a seat. Our home has suddenly become quite lively today with so many visitors.
The apartment, unlike a mansion, was constrained by space limitations. As such, the dining room could only accommodate a rectangular table for six.
Therefore, they hadn’t even purchased a dining table. Instead, Lysander had placed a small bookshelf
Tiffany gazed at the array of dishes, a joyful look on her face. “It’s been a while since I’ve had such authentic Ecronian cuisine. Eleanor, your culinary skills are as impressive as ever.”

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....
