Chapter 468 The Fainting Was All An Act
“In our circles, there are some occasions you just can’t avoid. As long as you maintain your integrity, no one will force you to do anything.”
Lysander nodded, not intending to probe further.
She hadn’t pried into his matters during their marriage, much less now.
“She’s had a tough time,” Josiah continued. “Your parents were quite good to you. They worked hard to support your education, and you certainly made them proud. But there are many girls around the world who don’t get the chance to go to school, who lack education and opportunities and have very few options for work. I won’t lie to you. I’ve known Amelia for quite a while. When Lysanne got married abroad, I was very distressed and had no one to talk to except her. But we were just friends, nothing more.”
Lysander replied, “You should explain that to Priscilla.”
Josiah knew this was a rare opportunity. With genuine delight in his voice, he tentatively asked, “So, when you saw Amelia by my side recently, were you angry?”
Lysander met his gaze directly, seeing his barely concealed emotions. She said calmly, “If you want the truth, I don’t care.”
Josiah’s smile froze instantly.
“You’re a single man in your prime, with status and position. Naturally, you won’t lack women around you. Whether it’s one or many, that’s up to you. From what I’ve seen, Tiffany doesn’t seem to mind. If you both agree on your relationship dynamics, that’s fine.”
Having grown up abroad, Tiffany might have a more open–minded view on relationships and could accept this kind of relationship.
Lysander added fire to fuel. “When are you and Tiffany planning to get married?”
Josiah, who had just managed to calm himself, felt his breath catch in his chest again.
Josiah snorted coldly, his expression turning frosty once more. However, considering Lysander’s attitude
softened today, he remained silent.
The deliveryman’s voice broke the silence. “Hello, your delivery is here.”
Considering that Josiah was still a patient, Lysander went to the door herself to collect the seafood. “Thank you.”
She was about to take the ingredients straight to the kitchen to cook them quickly and leave when she noticed that the takeaway box in her hand seemed to contain… cooked food?
“Did you buy pre–cooked seafood?”
Josiah mumbled, “Maybe the restaurant made a mistake.”
“Well, that saves me the trouble.”
Josiah grew anxious. “But you promised to cook seafood for me.”
1/3
Lysander asked, “Should I just reheat it for you?”
“The seafood became overcooked once heated.”
“Do you have plates? I can plate it for you.”
Josiah grabbed the takeaway bag from her hands and took it to the dining room. He took out the takeaway boxes one by one and placed them on the table. “There are ready–made takeaway boxes. Using plates means more to wash later. This will do.”
Lysander thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay then, take your time eating. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Lysander.”
Lysander gave him a puzzling look.
“I ordered too much. Join me.”
Lysander shook her head. “I don’t like seafood.”
“Just keep me company,” Josiah said. “Old Mrs. Everhart might need
Lysander was speechless.
“Have a seat.”
Feeling helpless, Lysander sat back in her original spot.
my help again.”
Josiah smirked. “Dr. Thorne, since you didn’t get to showcase your cooking skills this time, maybe you can do it the next time.”
While opening the takeaway boxes, Josiah switched to a serious topic. “Now that Thorne Constructions and Energies is in your hands, and the procedures will be completed soon, what’s your plan?”

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....
