Chapter 445 Shot Himself In The Foot
Actually, even if the sliding glass door had been unlocked, with his state of mind at the time, he would have chosen to smash it anyway.
Lysander naturally continued to ask, “Is your hand okay?”
Josiah’s voice softened slightly. “It’s fine.”
His hands appeared broad and dependable, even though they were injured, they didn’t look frightening.
Lysander said seriously, “I’m really grateful for your help.”
The despair of that moment still lingered in her heart.
If Josiah hadn’t shown up, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Josiah didn’t use the excuse of not being able to sleep to brush off Lysander. He sat down on the sofa and told her the truth: “When you went out the past two days, didn’t you notice the mark next to your front door?”
“What kind of mark?”
“A circle with a check mark in the middle.”
Lysander shook her head.
“That’s a mark left by a thief checking out the place.
“What does that mark mean? My house doesn’t have anything valuable, and my daily items are pretty cheap.”
“Female, living alone,” Josiah explained. “When I saw it yesterday, I asked Harry to find out. Harry found out that places marked like this are usually targeted within three days. So tonight, I didn’t dare sleep, worried something might happen to you.
Lysander said nothing.
“Although your daily items aren’t high–end, a lone woman is physically weaker. Knowing they can’t overpower a grown man, their first reaction to a break–in is to pretend to be asleep and unaware, waiting for the thief to leave. This is actually the safest for the thief.”
Lysander felt vexed. She’d been so busy lately that she hadn’t noticed the mark outside her door.
“But this thief is probably a novice, Experienced thieves usually don’t lock the door after entering, leaving it slightly open for a quick escape. Whether he was overconfident or ignorant, he locked the door, and I couldn’t get in from outside, so I had to go through the window.”
“When the ambulance arrives, you should go to the hospital too. He’s seriously injured, but you must have some minor injuries too. Get them checked.”
Annoyed, Josiah replied, “I said I’m fine.”
The ambulance wouldn’t arrive for a while.

Chapter 445 Shot Himself In The Foot
The atmosphere once again grew awkward.
Lysander thought of the earlier encounter at the private restaurant and took the initiative to ask, “If y move in, will Tiffany come with you?”
you
Josiah turned away, looking at her with a complicated expression. “So what? What are you trying to say?”
Lysander thought aloud. “Tiffany grew up pampered and probably hasn’t faced much danger. With all this commotion here, even you breaking the glass to come over, she must be really scared and worried about you.”
Josiah laughed in anger. “So what? Are you trying to persuade me to go back and comfort her?”
“You’re always thinking of others.” Josiah clenched his jaw, almost reopening the wound on his hand from the force. “Never for me.”
Her words were kind, covering all necessary considerations. She fixed her gaze on Josiah, subtly indicating that it was time for him to leave.
“When did I ever…” Josiah swallowed the rest of his words.
He didn’t agree outright, but he also didn’t object. He even brought up the topic of the wedding himself. It was as if he had shot himself in the foot.
Josiah was about to explode again, this time out of sheer frustration, He abruptly stood up, seething with resentment as he bitterly said, “Fine, fine!”

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....
