The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 513

The Charming ExWife 

Chapter 513 Between Men 

Aurora widened her eyes without blinking while they argued, her gaze filled with bewilderment. She was so engrossed in the adultsconversation that she didn’t even pay attention to the other kids in the playground, curiously staring at the adults, turning her head from time to time. Upon locking eyes with someone, she’d even flash an adorable smile

Daphne had her back facing Josiah, her anger subsiding when she wasn’t looking at his face. Her disappointment, however, was apparent as she listlessly changed the topic. This kid’s quite outgoing and 

brave.” 

Lysander thought about the outgoing and cheerful Nieva, sincerely complimenting. Yeah, she probably takes after her mom. Ms. Lionhart has a cheerful and straightforward personality.” 

Daphne held Aurora’s tiny hand. I don’t mean to raise my voice, so don’t be scared, okay?” 

The baby cooed and smiled in response

Daphne smiled, too, taking the baby from Lysander and approaching Josiah, suppressing her annoyance as she handed the child over to him. Ms. Lionhart’s your friend, so you should look after her child. You don’t mind, do you?” 

Daphne was filled with irritation at the sight of Josiah. In a huff, she handed Aurora over to him, hoping to see him flustered and in distress. However, to her surprise, he held the child confidently and calmly

Aurora, seemingly familiar with him, even broke into a wide grin

Josiah lowered his head to gaze at the baby with a gentle smile, wearing a rare tender look on his face. No problem. You guys go ahead and talk.” 

Lysander walked over to grab Daphne. Have you had breakfast yet? Let’s go grab something to eat.” 

Daphne said defiantly, No need. I’m so upset I don’t even feel like eating. It’s stifling here. Let’s go. somewhere else to get some fresh air!” 

She took Lysander’s hand as she spoke, wanting to pull her away, but she soon paused and turned to Adrian. Thanks for sending me here today. You can go about your business. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.” 

Adrian, however, said, You guys go ahead. I still have some matters to deal with.” 

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Josiah. Josiah noticed that and calmly met his gaze

The two men went head to head against each other, leaving Lysander uneasy

Aiden, too, was frightened, stepping in to interrupt, You came here for me, didn’t you, Adrian? Let’s go. We can talk on the way.” 

Aiden, now that your job is done, you can leave too.Josiah was the one who spoke up instead of Adrian

Both men shared the same goal of wanting Aiden to leave, but that only made Lysander even more worried

Aiden was shaking like a leaf. BBut I don’t have anything to do if I head back. It’s beautiful here. I guess

Adrian’s expression turned cold, too. You don’t have to. Go ahead and don’t wait for me.” 

A lightbulb went off in Aiden’s mind, and he immediately blocked Lysander’s path. Since no one’s leaving, you guys should stay, too. Let’s all have a good chat. It’ll be fun!” 

Daphne glanced at Josiah, then at Adrian. Wait, what are you two up to? One is an exhusband, and the other is a colleague. You’re both out of the game, so there’s no chance left for either of you.” 

Neither of them spoke, yet neither one chose to leave

Aiden panicked and pleaded with his brother quietly, We’re in Josiah’s territory after all. Can we go back first?” 

This is a resort, not the Guerra family’s prison. I’m just going to talk to him, so get out of the way.” 

I’m not getting in your way! I was just worried that-” 

Josiah interrupted Aiden. It’s good that you’re here, Dr. Sutton. I happen to have something I want to discuss with you, too

Lysander was filled with worry. Perhaps we should all sit down and talk.” 

Josiah flashed a nonchalant smile. This is between men, so stay out of this. Go on, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.” 

Lysander looked at him skeptically, not saying a word

Holding the baby’s tiny hand and waving it, Josiah reassured, Don’t worry. I have the baby here with me. I won’t do anything out of line.” 

Aurora nestled in his arms, as docile as a kitten. She could tell that Josiah genuinely adored this child and was certain he wouldn’t do anything drastic in front of her

Daphne gave her a tug. Let’s go.” 

The children’s playground was filled with the cheerful chatter and laughter of kids. Yet, the three adults. standing nearby didn’t say a word, the tension between them palpable. It was so quiet that Aurora got bored and yawned

Pulling the hoodie over the baby’s head and placing her in the stroller, Josiah lowered the windscreen and asked calmly, So, where should we talk, Dr. Sutton?” 

Adrian replied nonchalantly. This place is yours, so why don’t you decide?” 

Josiah nodded. Come with me, you two,” 

Aiden quickly glanced at Adrian, noticing that he had no intention of picking a fight with Josiah and instead followed him quietly. Relieved, Aiden quickly caught up with them

He would’ve found an excuse to escape if Josiah hadn’t asked the two of them to come

Josiah led them all the way back to the restaurant

It was way past breakfast jime. Although fruits and drinks were available, most of the guests were on vacation and wouldn’t stav in the hotel all day. Only a few guests busy working on their laptops were sitting

in the restaurant

This was the best place for a discussion

Josiah scanned the place and summoned a waiter. These two are my guests. I need a quiet corner

The waiter quickly grasped the situation and called a colleague for assistance. Together, they moved a folding screen from the back, creating a temporary private space for them
