Chapter 460 Cash In The Rain Check
The following morning, while having breakfast, Lysander handed over a bank card loaded with two million to her parents.
“Lysa, why are you giving us your bank card?”
With a nonchalant expression, Lysander said, “I called Daphne last night. She mentioned she had some personal savings set aside. She’s offered to lend us some to tide over our immediate needs, interest–free.”
Maverick looked at her disapprovingly. “Really?”
Lysander handed him the phone directly. “Why don’t you call Daphine directly and ask?”
Laura mediated the situation and said, “All right, all right. Daphne really came through for us. Despite her own company facing troubles, she was willing to lend us money. Lysa, you should invite Daphne over for a meal sometime. Two million is not a small sum. We should properly thank her.”
Lysander said. “Her company has been swamped with issues lately. I reckon she doesn’t have the time. We can talk about it once things settle down.”
“Okay, anytime is fine. Just don’t let it interfere with Daphne’s important matters.”
Maverick was still somewhat skeptical. “Lysa, did Josiah give you this money?”
Lysander responded quickly and very honestly, “No.”
She spoke with conviction, for she wasn’t lying.
Upon seeing her confident demeanor, Maverick finally believed her. “As long as it’s not him, that’s fine. Also, it’s not right to not pay interest. Regardless of who we borrow money from, we should give Daphne interest at the rate same as the banks. We can’t let Daphne suffer a loss.”
As long as the loan could be paid off first, all future matters could be properly planned.
Lysander nodded. “All right, I’ll mention it to her later and see if she’s interested.”
“We must give it to her even if she doesn’t accept it. During our hard times, Daphne was there to lend a hand, so we must show our gratitude.”
“Okay, okay. If you say so, I’ll do it. The food is getting cold. Dad, you better start eating. After we finish, I’ll go with you to the bank to pay off the loan.”
After breakfast, Lysander accompanied her father to the bank.
She watched with her own eyes as Maverick signed the documents and swiped the card, settling the loan in
full.
To be on the safe side, Lysander also requested a loan settlement certificate.
By the time they returned home, it was almost noon.
Laura was at home preparing lunch, with her daughter, Michelle, who had recently become much more sensible, assisting her mother.

Chapter 460 Cash In The Rain Check
When Lysander and Maverick arrived home, a large table full of dishes had already been set.
Lysander still had some money on her card. During dinner, she discussed with her parents, “Now that we’ve bought the house, and there’s no rush to pay back the money, I’m considering enrolling Mich in a summer camp. It would allow her to go abroad to relax for a while, and at the same time, interact with students from prestigious schools to broaden her horizons.”
Laura gently declined. “We should probably save a bit instead of spending. Although Daphne isn’t in a rush for it, it would be best if we repay her as soon as possible.”
Lysander said, “Mich needs to gain some experience. She can’t always stay by you and Dad’s side. This is a perfect opportunity to foster her independence. Plus, interacting with students from Ivy League universities will certainly improve her Stounian skills.”
“Lysander, this must cost a fortune…”
Lysander said, “You just focus on enjoying your summer camp abroad. Don’t worry about anything else. Also, remember, stop reaching out to Zachary. Even if he calls you, don’t answer.”
As long as Michelle was not in Harborbrook, Zachary no longer had the means to threaten her using Michelle’s safety.
After having lunch with her foster parents and younger sister, Lysander stayed at home until the
afternoon, reluctantly leaving only when she had to
Laura thought that Lysander was busy with work, so she didn’t persuade her to stay. Instead, she and her husband packed some food for her to take with her, incessantly reminding her. “Come home if you’re tired: take good care of yourself when you’re alone, and make sure you eat well.”
Lysander quickly accepted it, not daring to look back as she left, fearful that her adoptive parents might catch a glimpse of the fleeting vulnerability she had shown. “Okay, Mom.”
On the way back, Adrian sent a message to Lysander on WhatsApp: Is the matter resolved?
He deliberately waited a full day before he came to ask her.
Lysander felt a slight unease in her heart, but she indeed owed Adrian a huge favor this time. Given that her benefactor had made a request, it seemed inappropriate for her to refuse. So, she replied: Sure, you
“This incident is a big deal for our family, so I really should treat you.”
After a moment of contemplation, Adrian said, “You once promised me that given the chance, you’d personally cook a meal for me, so I could taste your culinary skills. But up until now, you haven’t fulfilled that promise. How about we cash in that rain check this time?
Lysander genuinely didn’t want to give Adrian any more false hope, but the current situation made it impossible for her to refuse him. “Okay,” she said, “but I’m still on my way. I’m afraid it might be a while before I get home.”
The ingredients Adrian had brought over earlier were still in the refrigerator. She decided to pick up a fish on her way home, which would be enough to prepare her specialty dish.
Adrian’s voice was brimming with joy. “Don’t worry, I’ll take a while to get there too. I’ll stop by your place. to pick up White Coat’s vaccination reconl,”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
