Chapter 55 A Dirty Heart Sees Others As Dirty
Inside the internet-famous restaurant, it was still packed.
A dozen or so waiters weren’t enough, hustling around with plates flying everywhere.
Daphne pulled Lysander to a vacant seat and immediately spat. “What rotten luck. I just wanted to enjoy a meal out and still end up encountering garbage.”
Adrian slowly seated himself opposite two girls and asked, “Daphne, do you know Jane?”
Daphne paused. “Jane? Who is that?”
“The pregnant woman we just saw outside.”
Daphne suddenly realized, then sneered mockingly, Jane? Well, at least she’s self-aware enough to give herself such a fitting name.”
Adrian turned the menu towards them and handed it to the two girls. “You can order.”
Daphne took it. “Let me handle it. I’ve checked the reviews online; I know all their signature dishes. We definitely won’t go wrong.
Adrian asked, “What about you, Lysander?”
Lysander smiled faintly. “I’m fine with anything.”
“Any dietary restrictions?”
“None. I’m good with whatever.”
Lysander pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, restrained a smile, and nodded slightly. “You’re easy to please. Nowadays, they say it’s hard to please girls. Inviting a girl to dinner makes one anxious; if you order a dish she doesn’t like, you’re instantly labeled as not a good person.”
Lysander asked, “Have you experienced this before?”
“Not really. I just heard it from friends.”
Lysander pondered for a moment before replying, “Actually, I think what you order and eat doesn’t have a direct relationship with being together. Girls care more about whether the guy has them in mind and pays attention to their food preferences and lifestyle habits. Ultimately, they don’t want extravagant meals; they just want an attitude.”
Adrian seemed to have an epiphany, nodding slightly “Learned something.”
“Heh, that’s your perspective; some people don’t think so.” Daphne gestured towards the door entrance. “Some people are convinced that you can’t let go of the lavish lifestyle and are desperately clinging to Josiah. She thinks everyone is like her?”
Lysander’s tone remained indifferent. “A dirty heart sees others as dirty.”

“Exactly.” Daphne slammed the menu shut. She added, “This restaurant has been so popular lately; why can’t we come just because she’s here? It’s just a coincidence. She thinks everyone is obsessed with Josiah like she is?”
Lysander asked, “Have you decided on your order?”
“I have. I’ve ordered via scanning the QR code on my phone.” Daphne suddenly asked, “Hey, Adrian, do you know that Lysanne?”
Adrian raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lysander. “Huh?”
“Oh, no. I wasn’t talking about Lysander. I meant the pregnant woman just now who’s also named Lysanne.”
Adrian hesitated for a moment. “What a coincidence?
“Not really. It’s just a game of substitutes.”
Lysander gently kicked her under the table.
Daphne understood and immediately changed the subject. “So, uh, do you know her Stounian name
but not her real name?”

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....
