The Charming ExWife 

Chapter 605 A Brush Of Fingertips

Finished 

It had been quite some time since the dining hall in the Thorne manor had accommodated such a large crowd. Today, the place had been spruced up in accordance with the standards befitting esteemed guests to welcome Maverick and his family. Even the tableware used was the porcelain collection of Howard

Naturally, the five elders were seated together. Lysander had been continuously taking care of Michelle, so naturally, the two sisters were seated together

Josiah was quite aware of the situation, so he settled down beside his mother

Upon witnessing this scene, Susan could clearly understand her son’s intention. Yet, all she could do wast let out a soft sigh

Now he regrets his past behavior 

The dishes were served swiftly, their vibrant colors, enticing aroma, and delicious flavors were a given. The ingredients were notably nourishing, clearly tailored for the two individuals who had just been discharged from the hospital

Apart from fruit juice, Howard had also brought out a special collection of red wine. Laura didn’t drink, so he personally poured a glass for Maverick. Afterward, he toasted and took the first sip himself

For someone who didn’t usually drink, this gesture was undoubtedly significant

Maverick, Laura, Lysa’s success today is all thanks to your nurturing. I regret that I haven’t done much for her in the past, and now I’m even pulling her down with the company issues. I am truly sorry. However, the fact that our families could be discharged from the hospital together seems like a stroke of fate. Therefore, despite feeling a bit thickskinned, I’d like to revisit the old topic.” 

Molly’s recovery was going well. Apart from speaking a little softer, she looked no different from anyone else. Therefore, she also took the opportunity to express her stance with her husband towards Maverick 

and Laura

I was unable to attend the last conversation due to health reasons, but I’m aware of the details. What Maverick said was reasonable; we truly owe Lysa a lot, so everything she deserves is right here. As for the concerns you have, it will never happen again.” 

She and her husband had prepared the property notarization documents in advance. They presented these documents at that moment, solely to assure Maverick that he could let them acknowledge Lysander

Lysander assumed that their conversation was about the Thorne family’s wealth. Therefore, she didn’t think much about it since she didn’t really care

Only Josiah thought of Lysanne, who was already in the orphanage across the vast ocean

She would atone for her own actions for thirty years

Perhaps it was due to his mental preparation, but Maverick’s reaction this time was much calmer than the last time at the café. He didn’t quit 

understand what the documents were about, but he maintained his composure and directly drank the wine that Howard had poured for him

I’m a simple man, and I don’t understand these formalities. I have just one condition this time. You must treat with kindness, and not allow anyone to bully hernot even yourselves. Otherwise, we would rather Tanna immadistalu ikan nomen to har cuffarine

This implied consent to 1 ysander acknowledging Howard and Molly, her biological parents

Finished 

Howard and Molly exchanged a glance, they almost shed tears of joy right there and then. Then, they quickly promised, Don’t worry, we can’t compensate Lysa enough as it is, let alone allow her to suffer any injustices. From now on, our two families will become one.” 

Maverick reiterated his point, Ultimately, the decision should be left to her. I can only express my stance. It doesn’t matter what happens to me as long as she’s happy.” 

Lysander was touched upon hearing this and gently reminded, Dad, you should drink less. It’s bad for your health.” 

For reasons unknown, Maverick found his eyes welling up with tears as he heard this very ordinary statement. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely watch it. Today is a celebration of family members from both sides. being discharged, and I’m just overjoyed,he said.. 

As he spoke, he lifted his hand to wipe his face, only then was he able to steady his emotions

Lysander noticed that his was not genuinely happy, but she didn’t say anything. She suggested they switch to grape juice only after he and Howard had each drunk half a glass of red wine

Lysander had forgotten about Josiah momentarily, and became the only person drinking at the table. Left with no choice, he had to fend for himself

Lysander had gone around serving grape juice to the elders, not forgetting to pour some for Michelle who was beside her. Initially, she intended to offer a glass to Josiah out of courtesy as well, but as she reached. out for the juice, her fingertips brushed against his hand that he had extended

In a flash, all eyes at the dinner table turned to look at them

Lysander immediately pulled back her hand as if she had been shocked by electricity

Josiah’s movement faltered for a moment, leaving him under the scrutiny of everyone’s eyes. He could feel a slight flush creeping up his cheeks. After a brief pause, he slowly reached for the juice

Maverick watched the scene unfold, but did not reprimand Josiah which was out of his character. Instead, he lowered his eyes as if lost in thought

The atmosphere that was lively just a moment ago suddenly became awkward

Regardless of how much the relationship between the two families had thawed, it had nothing to do with Josiah. At most, Howard would speak a few words on his behalf

In order to secure his seat here, Josiah feigned complete oblivion, and powered through any discomfort

Breaking the silence, Susan asked, Lysander, what do you think of my cooking skills? The soup tastes alright, doesn’t it? I learned how to make it from Eleanor. It took me quite a few days to get it right.” 

Thank you, Madam Susan, the soup tastes really good,Lysander casually continued the conversation

The conversation then shifted towards the dishes

Howard spoke with a hint of nostalgia. These dishes were all your favorites when you were a child. You never liked the skin on tomatoes, so the first step was always to peel them whenever we cooked anything that required tomatoes at home. As time went by, it gradually became a habit
