Chapter 424 Not The One She Loves
Tiffany became even more distressed. “L.”
With a bang. Josiah set down his cutlery, his tone laced with impatience as he snapped, “It’s not your place to ask that question, is it?”
Though the words were delivered with an air of nonchalance, they held a somewhat intimidating force.
The moment he put down his cutlery, Howard, who had just scooped some greens, was so surprised that his hand trembled, and they fell right off. Even Susan was somewhat startled, raising her head to look at
him.
Josiah meticulously peeled a shrimp, his slender fingers revealing surprising strength. With just a few deft movements, he had the shrimp completely peeled, which he then placed on Tiffany’s plate.
“Have a shrimp.”
Tiffany bit her lip, not daring to speak.
Josiah peeled another one, placing it on Susan’s plate. “Mom, you should eat too.”
“Ah, okay.”
“Mr. Thorne, I remember you’re allergic to seafood, so I won’t peel one for you. Please, take whatever you
want”
With a cough, Howard said, “All right. We’re all family here, so no need for such formalities.”
Josiah said calmly. “We used to be family, but not anymore.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the dinner table turned their attention to Lysander.
No one paid any attention to the individual sitting alone on the living room couch.
Howard, fearing that Lysander might feel awkward, gently patted her arm in a comforting manner. He then took the initiative to smooth things over. “Josiah, even if you’re not my son–in–law, you’re still someone Molly and I watched grow up. We share so many years of bond, and you’re still considered. family in the future.”
Josiah didn’t say much. He picked up the red wine glass by his side. “Mr. Thorne, let me toast you.”
“All right then.”
When the glasses clinked together, their rims were perfectly aligned.
Josiah had no intention of moving his wine glass lower than Howard’s and immediately moved away after clinking their glasses.
Howard took a small sip of his drink, gradually regaining his affectionate elder persona. “Josiah, based on what I heard from your mother just now, you’re considering having a child?”
“Yes,” said Josiah. “Various things have kept me occupied in the past. Now that I have the chance, I want to seize it as soon as possible.”

“When are you two planning to have the wedding? Tiff’s father and I go way back, so I’ll definitely be there to support you.”
Josiah looked at Tiffany with a smile. “What do you think? When shall we have it?” he asked.
Only then did Tiffany regain her composure, a faint blush painted on her face. “What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you hear what Mr. Thorne said? He was asking us when we’re getting married.”
“I’m not ready yet!” Tiffany playfully pushed him away. “Don’t mention this in front of Lyss…”
With a chuckle, Josiah turned to Howard and said, “I’ll have to discuss the wedding plans with Tiff again. After all, this is our first time planning a wedding, and neither of us has any experience. We’ll definitely let you know once we’ve set a date.”
Tiffany suddenly expressed her confusion, “Huh? Jose, I heard from Aiden that you were married once before. Did you not have a wedding ceremony then?”
Josiah cast his eyes down. “No, there was no time.”
“Did that girl agree as well? She didn’t object?”
“I don’t think so.”
“What do you mean by that? Every girl surely dreams of having the most romantic and grandest wedding.”
“Probably.”
“Definitely! Nearly every girl has dreamed since childhood of walking down a path strewn with flowers alongside her Prince Charming, passing through a balloon arch, receiving the priest’s blessings, and uttering I do. If you don’t believe me, just ask the two ladies across from us!”
Lysander was solely focused on eating her meal, her eyes fixed on the food before her. She had resigned herself to being invisible at today’s dinner, planning to leave as soon as she finished eating. Unexpectedly, she found herself called out by Tiffany.
At last, Tiffany found a sense of belonging. “See, Jose? Lysa feels the same way too.”
With a smirk playing on one corner of his lips, Josiah let out a soft chuckle. However, he didn’t respond to Lysander’s words. Instead, he shot back a question, “Do you want a wedding with a floral balloon arch?”
to me?”
“Me? I don’t really have any thoughts.”
“You must have! When it comes to marrying the on you love, who wouldn’t wish for everyone’s
Tiffany hadn’t expected his response to be like this. Subconsciously, she felt as if she had stirred up trouble. “Jose, did I say something wrong?”
“Jose…”
“Okay…”
The petite wife was pure, adorable, and obedient, while the husband was dominant, doting, yet gentle.

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....
