The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 734

Susan looked at Josiah with a warm smile.

Josiah originally intended to showcase his cooking skills, but Lysander had just learned and demanded strict nursing standards from him. Allowing him to make this dish in the kitchen was already a concession because he had been cooped up for too long.

To ensure the patient's mental well-being, appropriate activities were necessary.

But too much activity was certainly not advisable.

Lysander gazed at the lemon butter fish, not denying the fact that Susan had known all along. She simply abandoned her plan to cook the same dish. Her original intention was to play it safe by preparing this signature dish. Little did she expect to have a tacit understanding with Josiah.

At this point, she could only whip up a quick stir-fry with some vegetables to make do.

As Lysander was rolling up her sleeves, a cheerful voice came from behind. Daphne had arrived with gifts.

Given their close relationship, formality was unnecessary. Daphne had not seen Lysander for a while and had accumulated a bunch of little things to share.

“I really came at just the right time!”

After her casual remark, she didn't forget to greet Susan and the others. She then pulled out two toys from her bag and handed them to Nilou and Rhizone. Even Aurora had a gift.

Josiah was the only one there who was overlooked, but he remained calm.

Lysander smiled. “I was just about to start cooking, and here you are. You're right on time.”

Daphne decisively stepped between Lysander and Josiah. “Of course, I'm practically living on your chimney. I smelled the delicious aromas and came right over.”

Laura and Susan saw this as a moment for the younger folks and excused themselves, telling them to keep an eye on the still-cooking food while they chatted and took Nilou and Rhizone to the living room to wait for others.

“Howard and Molly live next door, so they should be here the fastest, but they're still not here. I wonder what they're up to...”

The elders' chatter gradually faded, leaving a quiet atmosphere.

The Guerra family's old house had been remodeled several times since it was built, making it a blend of antique charm and modern facilities.

The semi-open kitchen was spacious enough to accommodate everyone, let alone three people comfortably.

Daphne leaned close to Lysander, focusing on the already prepared dishes. “Smells amazing. I can't even remember the last time I had your cooking. This time I'm going to indulge.”

Lysander hesitated. “I didn't make these.”

The apron Josiah had taken off earlier was now in her hands, ready to be tied around her waist, but Daphne's timely arrival caused a misunderstanding.

After a moment of silence, Daphne asked, “Then, is this Mdm. Laura cooking?”

Josiah spoke softly. “I made it.”

The kitchen fell silent, save for the bubbling stew in the pot.
