Chapter 474 The First To Give In
Upon seeing the situation, Tiffany let out a long sigh. “Jose, it’s been many years, yet she remains your favorite person.”
With a softer tone, Josiah explained, “There’s nothing between her and me anymore, and there won’t be in the future. I’ve told you this many times before.”
“But she still holds a place in your heart.” Tiffany was certain of this. “However… it’s only natural that you can’t let go of Lyss.”
Josiah furrowed his brows. “What?”
Tiffany replied earnestly, “Lyss is so kind and perfect, so it’s only natural for you to like her. Don’t deceive yourself anymore. If you truly like her, go and reconcile with her. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with your collaboration with my father.”
The more Josiah listened, the deeper his frown became. He really had no experience in appeasing children.
“Tiffany, we agreed on this before.”

“Yes, we agreed we would announce our engagement to the world, to make Lyss and stop bothering you. But what I don’t understand is that you say you don’t care about her, yet you still dream of her. So, am I here to separate you two or to rekindle your love?”
“Tiffany, you’ve really misunderstood…”
“Jose, you two are so much older than me. When you first fell for Lyss, I was just a kid trailing behind you, engrossed in watching The Powerpuff Girls. On the day of my birthday party, Lyss claimed she was helping me to network. I did as you advised, mentioning our arranged marriage as much as possible in her presence. I could tell… she was holding back, but she was genuinely upset.”
There was an age difference of eight years between them.
Moreover, Tiffany had been overly sheltered by her family since childhood. She had attended an all–girls boarding school abroad, which had limited her social circle. This contributed to her current naive and innocent personality, to the extent that her emotional age seemed even younger than her actual age.
Faced with a young woman who still seemed like a child, Josiah, despite his urgency, could only force himself to be as gentle as possible. He suggested, “Tiffany, how about this? Let’s end our agreement. Once we return, I’ll clarify things with your father. You won’t have to pretend to be my fiancée anymore, and I’ll handle the situation with Lysanne myself.”
Biting her lip, Tiffany’s eyes still held a touch of confusion and bewilderment. “Jose, I truly don’t understand what you want me to do.”
“Starting from today, you don’t have to do anything anymore; just consider this as a leisurely vacation since you don’t come back to the country often. There are many historical sites in Apex City worth visiting. I’ll arrange for someone to accompany you for a few days, and once the summit is over, we can head back together. Then, I’ll have a chat with your father.”

“You have someone you like,” Tiffany stated. “But it’s not Lyss, is it?”
Hearing her speak so candidly, there was a sense of exhilaration in Josiah’s heart. He nodded. “Yes.”
“I get it now,” Tiffany said. “So, you wanted me to declare myself a make the woman you’re fond of jealous, didn’t you?”
your fiancée to deter Lyss and also to
“Yes to the former, but for the latter…” Josiah shook his head and chuckled before continuing, “She doesn’t. get jealous.”
Jose, have I met her before?”
“Hmm?”
“You wanted her to be jealous, but for that, she needed to see us together, right? I’m trying to recall all the people we’ve met when we were together, but we met so many people at the birthday party that I really can’t remember who she could be…”
Josiah gave a light chuckle. “Are you really that curious?”
“Of course! I’d love to meet the woman who could make you choose her over Lyss.”
Josiah was quite amused, a smile playing on his lips. “Fine. When the opportunity arises, I’ll reintroduce you.”
“All right, when exactly would that be? I’m heading back overseas next month. Will there be enough time for us to meet?”
Josiah ruffled her bangs. “Always so curious, aren’t you, kid?”
Tiffany hastily protected her hairstyle. “Jose, I’m already an adult! Stop treating me like a child.”
“You know, you’re still far from being all grown up. Your dad was worried sick when he spoke to me about you previously. He’s terrified that you’ll be deceived by some bad boys abroad. It’s to the point that he wants to assign a few bodyguards to accompany you when you return overseas, yet he’s also afraid that their presence might interfere with your normal dating life and cause you to miss out on your best years. In short, he’s caught in a dilemma.”
Tiffany pouted. “Jose, don’t try to change the subject. When are you going to introduce me to the woman who has stolen your heart?”
While she spoke, she playfully pointed at the location of his heart and winked at him, a teasing irnile on her face.
Josiah couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’ll try my best to win her over before you leave.”
“Oh, so it’s not settled yet? Jose, when did you become so impotent?”
Josiah feigned anger, admonishing her, “Don’t speak nonsense
“What nonsense did I say?”
Tiffany wore an innocent expression.
Tosiah couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
Chapter 474 The First To Give In
Tiffany was just a young woman who had never even experienced a relationship before. There was no way she would think to link that word to its other meaning.
Who could be calling in the middle of the night?
Yet, the other person was relentless, calling again.
Riting!
The landline on the bedside table began ringing.
“Lysander, it’s me.”

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....
