Chapter 427 Women In High Heels
Josiah studied her closely for a brief time before suddenly breaking into a chuckle. He dipped his head slightly and flexed his wrist with a relaxed air, asking, “What else do we need to talk about?”
“Is your wrist giving you trouble?” she inquired with a hint of concern.
“You’re a gynecologist: don’t dip your toes into orthopedics,” he retorted playfully, leaving the woman speechless.
At that moment, his phone started to ring. The caller ID flashed the name “Tiff” across the screen in bold letters. Without hesitation, he answered the call.
“Jose, have you made it home yet?” Tiffany’s voice came through the speaker.
“Yes, I’m just at the entrance of the residential area,” he replied.
“Then hurry on home. I’ve asked someone to pick up some analgesic balm for you. Make sure Eleanor helps you apply it to your wrist tonight. It’s crucial for reducing the swelling.
“Got it.”
“Jose, I really owe you one for today. I would have embarrassed myself again without your help.”
“If you can’t manage in high heels, maybe consider not wearing them. They only seem to cause you pain,” Josiah advised.
“But you know, it’s because you’re so tall. I look too short next to you without heels. And Lyss always looks so good when she wears them,” Tiffany explained, adding wistfully, “I guess I just want to look as elegant as her.”
“You don’t need to copy her,” Josiah replied.
“I know, but you used to adore her so much. Even though our marriage is more of a business. arrangement, I still hope you might come to like me a little,” she confessed.
Josiah pinched the bridge of his nose, a gesture of his frustration. “Fdon’t fancy women who wear high heels.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes.”
“What about hairstyles? Do you prefer straight or curly hair?” Tiffany asked.
“I prefer straight,” he commented casually.
“That figures. Today, Lysa had her hair straight and Lyss had hers curled. You seemed to pay more attention to Lysa,” she noted.
Josiah furrowed his brows, irritated. “Don’t start with that nonsense; they were our guests.”
“Oh.”

“You should head home soon, too.”
“Okay.”
“We’ve been on the phone for a while now. Are you home yet?” she asked.
“No, I ran into someone and we chatted for a few moments,” he explained.
“Is it someone you know?”
Josiah, lighting a cigarette and taking his time, answered, “Not particularly.”
“Was it… Lyss?”
“No.”
“Good, that’s a relief. Tiffany hesitated before asking, “Jose, can I ask you something?”
“Go ahead.”
“Do you find I
“Do you find Lyss more attractive, or me?”
Josiah reassured her, “You don’t need to worry about any old ties between Lysanne and me. There’s nothing there.”
“Okay, goodbye then, Jose.”
“All right, I’m hanging up now.”
After ending the call, Josiah turned to Howard. “Mr. Thorne, my girlfriend just messaged. She wants me back home urgently. I apologize, but I have to leave now.”
Before Howard could respond, Josiah had already walked away briskly, vanishing into the darkness of the night.
Howard turned to Lysander. “Lysa?”
She gave a hum of agreement. “Let’s take a cab home.”
“All right.”
They flagged down a taxi by the roadside and set off toward the hospital.
“What was it you wanted to talk to him about, then?” Howard queried.
“There isn’t much to discuss now,” Lysander admitted. “I just hope he doesn’t transfer any residual hitterness toward me onto Nanhne and the Everha@amily!
Molly’s recovery was advancing steadily. She had gained enough strength to change the television channels and select her favorite programs using the remote control independently.
Zachary gestured toward the fresh flowers and fruit by the bed, “I heard Mrs. Thorne is improving, so I thought I’d come by. We’ve known each other since we were kids, and I understand the importance of these social courtesies.
In the stairwell, she turned to face Zachary, her voice filled with exasperation. “What are you really trying to achieve here?”

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....
