Chapter 702 She Is A Very Important Person To Me
Dillon and Tiffany hadn’t expected him to bring a young girl along. Their expressions betrayed a moment of surprise. However, given that they needed his help, weiher dared to show their displeasure.
Tiffany could tell that Josiah was likely transferring his guilt over his deceased daughter onto Nilou. Even though she actually looked down on this country bumpkin, she still pretended to look approachable.
Jose, this little girl is really adorable. Can I take her out to play for a while?”
A village child hasn’t seen much of the world before. A few sugar–coated words are enough to win her over.
Upon thinking about it, Nilou declared decisively, “If you want to go out and have fun, feel free to go on your own. I don’t want to go.”
Tiffany often acted innocent and naive like a little girl. Now that she was face–to- face with a genuine little girl, she was caught completely off guard.
Taking advantage of the situation, Josiah skipped the pleasantries and said, “Kids get hungry easily. Since we’re all here, let’s eat first.”
Dillon knew that a private conversation with Josiah was not going to happen. Unable to think of any other way to send Nilou away, he had no choice but to pass the menu over.
“Mr. Guerra, Tiff mentioned that both of you had dined here before and found these dishes quite to your liking. We’ve gone ahead and prepared them for you. Would you like to add a few more to the order?”
Josiah seemed distracted as he replied, “Whatever. Anything goes.”
After glancing at Nilou, he added, “Let’s include a dessert. Kids love desserts.”
Dillon noticed that Josiah’s attitude toward Tiffany was friendlier when Lysander was not around. Thinking that Lysander was the reason for Josiah’s previous change, Dillon was determined to convince him by using Tiffany.
Surprisingly, there was less talk about the lake project.
“Mr Cuerra I’m so old that I’m practically one foot in the grave What’s the noint

of amassing all this wealth? It’s all for Tiffany, my child. If I don’t leave her with some assets, I wouldn’t be able to rest easy even in death…”
This marked the beginning of a new strategy–playing the victim card.
If Josiah hadn’t known Dillon’s true nature, he might have been moved by Dillon’s seemingly sincere love for his daughter. But now, things were different.
Each time he thought about how Tiffany had deliberately crafted those words to target his vulnerabilities, he felt a chill run down his spine.
His vulnerabilities were nothing more than something to be exploited in Tiffany’s
eyes.
Josiah maintained a poker face throughout.
Dillon still planned to play the victim, but this move was no longer of any use.
Even after he spoke for a long time, Josiah remained unyielding. Feeling a bit disheartened, he stood up and said, “Mr. Guerra, we’ve pretty much finished our meal. I’m going to use the restroom.”
A thought crossed Josiah’s mind. He glanced sideways at Tiffany just in time to catch her giving Dillon a look.
Without any change in his expression, he subtly averted his gaze and gave a slight nod. “Sure.”
Dillon left the private room.
Before coming, Tiffany had made a deliberate effort to dress up. She was well aware of her strengths. Thus, she had a natural makeup look to accentuate her beautiful features, focusing only on adding blush to the tip of her nose and the corners of her eyes. Coupled with her layered dress, she looked just like a doll that had stepped right out of a display window.
“Jose, let’s go outside and wait for Dad together.”
She gently bit her lower lip and walked over with an uneasy expression. Just as she was about to grasp Josiah’s arm, a clanging sound echoed by her ear.
Nilou, who was sitting next to Josiah, said, “I’m sorry, I accidentally knocked over the cake.”

The entire plate of blueberry forest cake fell onto Tiffany’s light–colored dress. Her meticulously coordinated outfit was ruined. She was in no state to meet anyone, let alone spend time with Josiah alone.
Tiffany’s expression shifted slightly. “You…

Tiffany gritted her teeth. “Yeah, of course not.”

Josiah said. “Since your father doesn’t want to talk, let’s call it a day. I’ll settle the bill.”
Jose… Tiffany called out to him.
“What?”
“I heard your employees calling Lysa Mrs. Thorne today. Are you two together now?”
Josiah replied, “Didn’t you already know this? Why are you asking the obvious?”
“But didn’t you two get divorced? Did she… Did she go back on her words?”
Josiah’s expression turned serious. “Whatever decision she makes, that’s her business. Let me make one thing clear to you. Whether we’re together or not, she is someone very important to me. If you harm her, it’s as if you’re harming me. D you understand?”
Tiffany remained silent.
He rose to his feet. “Nilou, let’s go.”
Meanwhile, Lysander was strolling down the road near the Guerra family’s old house while pushing the baby stroller.
The residential area was beautifully landscaped, with charming mini parks scattered everywhere. Come nightfall, there was an abundance of street lamps lighting up every corner. Furthermore, with 24–hour security patrols in the vicinity, the safety of the area was well assured.
When Susan saw Lysander bringing Rhizone and the baby over, she was so

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
