Chapter 706 I Was With You All Along
Finished
Josiah didn’t squander his time engaging with Tiffany, taking a few deep breaths to recover a bit of his strength. As soon as he regained some energy, he immediately checked his pocket. Seeing his phone was still there, he quickly dialed his. emergency contact.
He had long since set Lysander as his emergency contact.
Beep-
The call went through, but no one picked up.
“Sorry, the person you’re trying to reach…”
As Josiah heard the mechanical voice in his ears, he suddenly found himself understanding Lysander’s feelings in the past.
So this is how it feels when someone doesn’t pick up the phone – a profound sense of loss and disappointment.
Tiffany drove steadily toward the destination she had in mind, all the while observing Josiah’s actions. However, she had no intention of interfering in the slightest.
Everything was unfolding according to her plan.
When Josiah made his third call, Tiffany said in a chillingly sweet voice, “Jose, Lysa won’t be answering your calls.”
Josiah suddenly felt a chill run through his body. “What… what have you done to her!”
“How would I know? I was with you all along.”
Josiah was fully aware that anything he said at this moment would play right into. her ploy. Ignoring her completely, he dialed Laura’s number.
When Lysander had spoken to him on the phone, she had mentioned that she would be taking the baby to visit Laura and would wait there for him to pick them up. It seemed now that he might have to break that promise, but he asked for nothing else, only hoping that Lysander was still safe.

Chapter 706 1 Was With You All Along
This time, the phone call was finally answered.
Finished
Several months had passed, and Laura’s mood had significantly calmed since she had left the city. When she saw Josiah’s incoming call, her first reaction was to worry about Lysander. “Mr. Guerra, has something happened to Lysander? She’s been gone for over two months, and I can’t help but worry.”
“Isn’t she with you?” Josiah’s throat tightened with anxiety. Before he had made the call, he hadn’t bothered to check the time. But now, looking at the sky outside, his heart pounded like a drum, and he feared something might have happened to her.
Laura seemed oblivious to the situation. “Why would Lysander be here by my side? Tell me the truth, have you run into some trouble? I’ve already lost my husband; I can’t afford to have anything happen to my daughter too.”
Anyone with ears could have detected the panic in her voice.
Josiah steadied his emotions, trying his best to maintain a light tone. “She’s fine. She’s just returned to Harborbrook and mentioned wanting to visit you. I was just checking if she had arrived yet. I suppose I’m just being overly anxious. It’s perfectly normal that she wouldn’t have arrived in such a short span of time.”
“Did you say Lysander has already returned?” Upon hearing that her eldest daughter was coming to see her, Laura was too delighted to even notice the slight oddity in Josiah’s tone.
The phone call ended amidst the ensuing pleasantries.
Josiah tucked away the gentle respect he had shown toward Laura and sharply questioned Tiffany, “You drugged me and deliberately drove me to such a remote place. What exactly do you want to do? Commit murder to silence me? Dillon sure has guts.”
Tiffany was aware of her physical disadvantage, so she had been fully prepared from the start. She replied in a saccharine–sweet voice, “Jose, I just want to be with you. There’s no need for you to be so angry. I won’t harm you.”
Pausing briefly, she went on, “Even now, I still remember the things from our childhood, how kind you were to me back then. So, I decided a long time ago that I would take you to a place where no one knows us. We could live a good life together, just like when we used to play house, creating a happy family. You really like children, don’t you? You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll give you plenty of our own kids, so you won’t have to take care of others‘ children anymore. We-”

Josiah was chilled to the bone as he heard this. “Are you out of your mind? Stop the
car!”
The path on either side grew increasingly secluded, and the light was fading so much that it was almost impossible to see one’s hand in front of their face.
The thought of Lysander and the baby left Josiah without a shred of hesitation. He swiftly opened the car door and lunged out onto the road.
When Lysander arrived at the Thorne residence, Laura was already waiting for her at the gate. Seeing that she didn’t return alone but brought with her three children, Laura’s eyes lit up with delight.
“Lysa, Josiah just called me and said you’d be visiting me tonight. I thought if you were to bring anyone, it would be him. I didn’t expect three children. Whose kids. are these?”
Nilou had a charming personality, and without needing Lysander’s introduction, she immediately understood Laura’s identity. Hence, she greeted warmly, “Hello, Grandma Laura.”
Rhizone was not fond of speaking, but he still lifted his face politely and called out. a greeting.
Laura gently patted the heads of the two children, responding with a warm smile, “Hello to you two too. Come on in quickly. It’s so cold outside, so let’s not stay in the yard any longer.”
The Thorne residence had already been tidied up, looking clean and neat.
Lysander was still thinking about Josiah’s phone call as they made their way back to the house. She succinctly explained to Laura about the children’s background first. before asking, “Mom, you mentioned earlier that Josiah called. Did he say anything?”
“He didn’t say much, just asked if you’ve arrived yet. He’s probably worried about your safety,” Laura said, oblivious to anything amiss.
Lysander knew Josiah’s temperament better than anyone else and didn’t believe he would call Laura without a good reason. She immediately pulled out her own phone to check, only then realizing that she had been so busy taking care of the

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....
