Chapter 429 I Can Do What He Can
Josiah raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”
Her eyes shimmered with a trace of ambiguity. “I’ve always thought,” the woman began, her voice low and sultry, “that her style is precisely the kind that would captivate you.”
Josiah chuckled, “We’ve barely known each other a handful of days, and yet you claim to understand me
so well?”
“It’s not about how long you know someone, but rather how deeply you perceive them. However, I do believe in a woman’s intuition,” she retorted. “There’s something distinct in the way you look at her.”
Josiah emitted a dismissive snort. “There’s no difference whatsoever.”
“You seem to resent her, yet not entirely. Did she wrong you somehow in the past?”
“No, I don’t know her.
“Liar.” The woman chuckled, gently swirling her wine glass as she fixed her gaze on Lysander intently. “Well, suit yourself. But given how generous you’ve been these past few days, I feel compelled to offer you a friendly piece of advice. Women might say they appreciate gentleness and thoughtfulness, but deep down, they all desire to be overwhelmingly charmed, to be utterly swept off their feet. Merely being gentle and considerate fosters only mutual respect. It’s only when you truly captivate her that you can claim her. heart.”
Josiah’s brow furrowed slightly, reflecting deep thought.
With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, the woman smirked. “She’s approaching. Need me to stir things up a bit?”
Josiah, showing a hint of annoyance, pushed her away. “Have your boss discuss the payment with my secretary later.”
“All right. I truly value clients like you, Mr. Guerra. No need for any romantic entanglements, yet the compensation is quite generous. Actually, I find myself missing you already.”
“Josiah,” By this time, Lysander had already approached the pair.
With a smile as dazzling as the stars, the lady with red lips and curly hair greeted warmly, “Hello there.”
Lysander gave her a glance. “I’m sorry to interrupt, may I have a moment of your time? It won’t take long. I just need to discuss something with Mr. Guerra, and I’ll be on my way.”
With an all–knowing smile still playing on her lips, the other woman responded, “You two go ahead with your discussion. Feel free to take your time.”
She then rose from her seat, walking away with a captivating sway in her high heels.
Lysander waved her hand slightly, dispersing the lingering aroma in the air. “This scent is a bit unusual,” she noted. “Is it perfume?”
Mm.” Josiah’s face returned to an indifferent expression. “Are you here for Zachary, or for Daphne?”

come looking for me without a compelling reason. Unless something urgent drove you, you’d rather act as if you didn’t know me, even if we were face–to–face.”
“It’s about Zachary,” Lysander revealed. “He’s the type to act solely for his own benefit, without regard for the consequences. I can’t stand the thought of anyone I care about getting hurt because of him, so I’m left. with no choice but to seek your help.”
Given his height, Josiah looked down at her with an air of superiority. “I’ve already told you, I’m not getting involved,” he said dismissively.
Lysander remained silent for a moment before slipping a card into his hand.
Josiah pinched the card between his fingers, eyeing the inscription. “Hurton… Hotel?”
Lysander confirmed, “It’s booked for the next three days.”
“Hmph.
“If things don’t pan out, we can always extend our reservation.”
“I’ve mentioned before, I’m not short on female companionship.” Josiah remarked, placing the card back on the bar and sliding it toward her. “Besides, I have a girlfriend now. It really isn’t appropriate for you to be doing this. Dr. Thorne.”
This was uncharted territory for Lysander, and the embarrassment was evident on her face.
She kept her gaze lowered. “Y–You may have a girlfriend, but that hasn’t stopped your flirtations, has it? That woman earlier, and all the other women here tonight…”
Josiah’s expression turned icy. “It appears you’didn’t grasp a word of what I said during our last meeting.”
As they faced off, another familiar figure entered, dragging a suitcase behind him. He called out softly, “Lysander?”
Wasn’t he supposed to be in Stounia? How has he returned so suddenly?
“No, it’s just surprising to see you here so suddenly. Is everything all right back home?” Lysander asked.
“It’s fine, White Coat and I keep each other company.”
Suddenly, Josiah interjected, “It’s good that you’re here, Dr. Sutton. Your girlfriend seems to be encountering some difficulties and needs assistance. As a man soon to be married, it’s hard for me to justify helping her continually to my fiancée.”

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....
