The Charming Ex–Wife
Chapter 477 I Only Want You
Lysander recoiled in fright. “What are you doing!”
From the gap between the blanket and the pillow, Josiah pulled out an item, approximately the size of a matchbox.
It seemed to be a small card.
Josiah frowned. “What is this?”
Lysander had never seen this object before. “How would I know?
“You’re telling me you didn’t know this was under your own blanket?”
“It could be that housekeeping didn’t clean this room properly. It must be something left over from the previous guest.”
Josiah held the piece of paper in his hand, lifting it to examine it back and forth. The paper itself was nothing special. On it were four lines of handwritten words.
May the heavens guide you on a smooth path.
May fate allow you to meet kind–hearted people
May the distant sunlight and the brilliant>
lights illuminate every bit of your future.
The words were written in cursive, but it was evident at first glance that it was penned by a man.
Lysander furrowed her brow. “What exactly is it?”
“Hold on a second.” Josiah flipped the piece of paper over, placing it before her eyes. “Do you recognize this handwriting?”
Lysander glanced at it, then turned her face away without uttering word.
“Judging by your reaction, it must have been Adrian who wrote it for you, right?”
Lysander said, “I have no idea, nor do I understand how this item ended up on my bed.”
Josiah held the piece of paper between two fingers, waving it nonchalantly. “He probably slipped it into your clothes when you weren’t aware. It must have fallen out when you were changing or taking off your clothes.
“Either way, I don’t know anything.” Lysander retorted. “Even if it was, it was just Dr. Sutton being kind. He knew I was going on a business trip and probably wrote this as a kind gesture of well wishes.”
“Well wishes?”
“What else can it be? Which of these sentences carries any hint of romantic feelings?”
Josiah expressed his doubts, “I get the feeling it’s not that simple.”

Chapter 477 1 Only Want You
“You’re judging a noble person with a petty mind.”
Josiah picked up his phone, swiped to unlock, typed in, and began his search.
A moment later, he let out a cold laugh.
Lysander frowned, baffled at his response.
Josiah tapped on his phone.
A rock singer’s baritone voice unexpectedly began to croon a melodious tune. It was a mix of slight anguish and a hint of lament, but above all, it was filled with melancholy.
“What song is this?”
Before she could even finish speaking, the slightly weathered voice of Fabius Zagato began to sing slowly, “No matter how far away you are, even if you’ve changed, even if you’ve forgotten me, you will always be the girl I love.”
Lysander was lost for words.
“I knew it. There’s no way that Adrian would simply be wishing you well.”
Lysander stretched out her hand from under the blanket. “Let me see.”
Josiah held the card up high, out of her reach, and promptly lit it on fire with a lighter.
Lysander was furious. “You…”
The slip of paper wasn’t large, and it was swiftly consumed by the flames.
Lysander said, “Don’t just throw it away anywhere you please as there are a lot of flammable items in this room. Let’s not create more trouble for the staff.”
Josiah studied her intently for a moment, then, with a flick of his fingers, he tightly clenched the small card along with the flames into his palm.
Lysander was slightly taken aback.
By the time he opened his palm again, the flames had completely extinguished.
He lightly clapped his hands, revealing them to be covered in the ashes.
“What are you looking at?” He leaned forward, pulling a tissue from the box on the bedside table, and slowly wiped his hands.
“Wasn’t it hot?”
Josiah said irritably. “It’s not like I haven’t been burned by fire before.”
Lysander licked her lips and sighed. “How are the burns on your back doing now?”
“Do you want to take a look?”

Chapter 4771 Only Want Your
Lysander quickly intervened, “No need! I don’t want to see it.”
Josiah let out a chuckle, not continuing any further. Instead, he gently lowered himself, his forearms supporting him on either side of her body. He drew closer to her, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity as he said, “Lysander, let’s start over.”
Lysander shook her head slowly yet firmly. “No.”
“I’m being serious, but you don’t seem to believe me.”
“That’s right.”
Josiah gave a bitter smile, “In that case, try to see it from a different perspective. You don’t have to forgive me nor even like me; just consider me a tool.”
Lysander frowned and said, “I don’t understand.”
“Aren’t you planning on taking over Thorne Constructions and Energies? If you’re short on funds, consider me your personal ATM: if you’re lacking connections, regard me as your headhunter; if you’re inexperienced, treat me as your free one–on–one consultant. If you’re upset, feel free to vent at me; if you’re unwell, command me to take care of you. Oh, and don’t forget about your dog. Whatever it needs, you can come to me. In any case, don’t give Adrian another chance to get close to you.”
“Really? I can even come to you for dog–related matters? Then can I reach out to you if I want to breed a dog?”
“All right, I’ll head to the vet later…” Josiah only then realized something was off about her statement. His expression shifted subtly, and he pinched her nose in annoyance. “Getting brave, are we?”
Just a moment ago, in her rush to grab the piece of paper, she had extended one of her arms. Now, it was conveniently positioned outside, ready to come to the rescue of her nose.
“I told you, my nose is stuffed up. Stop pinching it!”
Josiah released his hold, opting instead to gently pinch her cheek. “People always say that a girl changes drastically when she turns eighteen. I didn’t believe it before, but now, you’re nothing like the little girl you
used to be.”
Lysander frowned and pushed his hand away. “Can you stop being so handsy?”
His gentle pinch left her petite face slightly flushed. In the dimly lit hotel room, every time she furrowed her brows, her eyelashes cast an endearing shadow on her face.
His
eyes gleamed even brighter, and before she could react, he planted a kiss on her lips.
Then I’ll use my mouth.”
“You-”
No sooner had she uttered a single word than his lips were descending upon hers again.
This time, Lysander reacted swiftly, quickly covering her mouth.
His kiss landed on the back of her hand.

However, he wasn’t upset. Once he noticed, he began to gently and meticulously continue kissing the back of her hand.
Every nook and cranny, every inch of skin.
After a kiss was planted, he was reluctant to pull away. His moist lips lingered on her skin, finding a new spot to bestow another kiss,
He went delicately from the back of her hand to her fingertips.
The places he had kissed were slightly cool, while those currently under his lips were burning hot. This cycle of hot and cold left her trembling subtly.
In the end, he gently

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....
