Chapter 465 The Explosive Atmosphere
“Sort of
Josiah was struggling to keep his temper in check. “Has the payment for the house been made?”
Seeing that he was unwilling to believe it, Lysander nodded and said, “Yes, I completed all the procedures. this morning.”
Josiah laughed. “How much money did he lend you?”
“Two million.””
“Two million…” Josiah licked his teeth, leisurely observing her. “Two million is enough for you to cook for him.”
Lysander didn’t feel the need to be ashamed. She looked at Josiah with a calm demeanor and countered, “Am I not allowed to?”
“Of course you are.” Josiah managed to squeeze out the next few words through gritted teeth. “But Dr. Thorne, you shouldn’t play favorites. Don’t forget there’s someone else who needs your ‘personal‘ gratitude as well…”
Lysander furrowed her brows. “Who?”
“Before, I was repeatedly coerced by Zachary for your sake. I even handed over the most profitable project of the company to him. Shouldn’t you show some sort of gratitude?”
“Since I’ve prepared a whole table of dishes. Dr. Sutton and I can’t finish it all. How about I pack some for you?” The look in Lysander’s eyes was hostile, evidence that she was upset. She cautioned, “However, I must remind you as a medical professional that you’re still sick. With your stomach condition, you should avoid getting upset. It would be bad if your condition worsens.”
With a sarcastic laugh, Josiah replied, “Thanks for the concern, but my lungs hurt more than my stomach now. I insist on calling on that debt.”
Lysander thought about the lemon butter fish on the table that was getting cold and impatiently asked, “So, what do you want me to cook for you?”
“Seafood.”
Adrian mentioned. “Perhaps seafood isn’t the best choice right now. It’s generally better to avoid it when your stomach isn’t feeling well.”
Josiah glanced at Adrian and asked, “Do you have an objection, Dr. Sutton?”
“No, Mr. Guerra. Go ahead.”
Lysander said, “Seafood is fine. Once your stomach condition has improved, I’ll find an opportunity to cook it for you.”
“I want it today. I want it now.”
“Josiah, why are you acting like an unreasonable child right now?”

“So, when he wants gratitude, it’s perfectly justified, but when I do, it’s considered unreasonable? Dr. Thome, are you being biased here?”
Lysander was also getting frustrated. “I didn’t prepare any seafood today. There’s only one fish in the fridge.”
“What kind of fish?”
“Carp.”
“Is carp considered seafood?” Josiah deliberately emphasized the word “sea.”
This man is simply outrageous!
Lysander took a deep breath, attempting to suppress her anger but failing. She ended up laughing out of sheer frustration. “Josiah, since I’ve agreed, I won’t back out. Aren’t you afraid that eating seafood now will worsen your condition, or maybe even cause a stomach ulcer on the spot?”
Josiah slightly narrowed his eyes, his aura radiating danger as he said, “Are you cursing me?”
Lysander responded to him. “I’m just speaking from a medical perspective.”
The tension in the atmosphere quickly returned. One could even see sparks flying between the arguing pair.
Josiah was stubborn as a mule. Once he made up his mind, no one could ever change it. He declared on the spot, “Lysander, even if it means getting a stomach ulcer, I must have the seafood meal today.”
Adrian watched them for a moment, his face stern as he finally offered a piece of advice, “Mr. Guerra, it’s clear that you simply don’t want me to have a candlelit dinner with Lysander with all this talk of gastritis and wanting seafood… Why go to such lengths? You’ll just end up harming yourself.”
“Alright, Mr. Guerra, since you’re so eager for seafood, let’s have it. What would you like? Fish, shrimp, or crab? I’ll downstairs and buy it right now so that you’ll be satisfied. However, you’ll have to bear the consequences after eating. Ms. Lanister, you should call an ambulance later and have them wait downstairs on standby. If anything happens to Mr. Guerra, they can come up immediately and take him away
In response, Josiah didn’t react with anger as one might expect. Instead, he seemed surprisingly calm. He pulled out his phone, speaking as if he was afraid she might change her mind. “No need to trouble yourself. I can order what I want myself. It should be here soon. Dr. Sutton, what would you like? This
He cast a provocative glance at Adrian; his behavior was nothing short of childish. Upon hearing this, Adrian didn’t even care to smile back, he simply reiterated. “I don’t fancy seafood. A home–cooked meal by Lysander is more than enough for me.”
As long as Adrian was there, he would continue making up fuss.
The mere thought of the scene gave Lysander a headache. After a moment of contemplation, she made up her mind. Full of regret, she said to Adrian, “I’m sorry. I’m afraid I won’t be able to have dinner tonight. You should have it at home. I’ll take care of things here.”
Lysander genuinely felt apologetic toward him and softly said, “I’m really sorry.”
The words caused Josiah to furrow his brows.

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....
