The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 741

In the midst of the festive atmosphere, Lysander became the one lifted the highest.

At midnight, colorful heart-shaped balloons filled the sky. Due to Lysander's elevated position, her view wasn't filled with the crowded heads below, but of a vibrant sea of balloons.

No wonder young people were fond of such flashy things. They were indeed quite beautiful.

Josiah held Lysander up for quite a while. Other couples around them had given up, with the girls being set down one after the other. Yet, Josiah continued to carry her steadily.

“Are you tired?”

“No. Is it beautiful up there?”

“Yes, it is very beautiful.”

“That's good then.”

In the end, Lysander, still worried about his injury, gently suggested, “You can put me down now.”

Only then did Josiah slowly crouch down and gently set both Lysander and Aurora on the ground.

Aurora still seemed unsatisfied, but her smile didn't fade. It grew brighter instead. She was babbling away in her own language.

Laughing, Lysander asked, “Do you think she wants a balloon?”

Josiah scanned the surroundings attentively and said, “The balloons that were just released are long gone, but there are bound to be vendors selling little trinkets at the New Year's Eve event. Let's go and get one for Aurora.”

Having stood for so long, his injured leg was starting to ache slightly, prompting him to shift his stance to ease the pain.

Lysander glanced down at Josiah's shoes, which had somehow gotten scuffed by someone stepping on them. She repeated the question she had asked while in the air but which had been drowned out by the noise, “Is your leg fully healed? I was really scared when you suddenly lifted me up.”

With so many people gathered around waiting for the New Year, if he couldn't hold her and she fell, it would be a minor issue, but if Aurora got hurt, it would be a big problem.

Thinking back to that moment, Lysander felt a mix of excitement and lingering fear.

However, Josiah appeared calm and composed. He chuckled lightly, saying, “With me around, there's no need for you to worry about anything. Besides, both you and Aurora are so light. If I can't even lift the both of you, what kind of man would I be?”

While talking, Lysander placed Aurora back into the stroller.

Josiah was tall enough to stand out in a crowd when walking down the street, and his strength was evident. Even in the jostling crowd, he never forgot to keep a close watch on Aurora's stroller.

Seeing how naturally he resumed pushing the stroller, Lysander said, “Let's go and see what's ahead.”

On New Year's Eve, not everyone was filled with hope for the upcoming year. Yet, even if it was merely an illusion to temporarily shed the unhappiness of the past year, it was enough to make everyone willing to immerse themselves in it.

Everyone had secrets they'd rather not share with others.

Silently, Lysander bid farewell to the memories of the past year in her heart.

Josiah, who was tall, quickly spotted a stall selling balloons not far away. Apart from various shapes of balloons, the vendor also sold a range of small animals crafted from long tubular balloons.

Those toys had a nostalgic charm.

Watching the balloon puppy swaying in the wind, Lysander murmured, “When I was a child, these kinds of balloons were quite popular. My father, fearing that I would forget everything and struggle to adapt in school, would often buy them for me to play with my classmates. However, times were tough at home back then. Eventually, he learned to make these small animals himself.”

As she spoke, she suddenly felt she had lost her composure. Hastily, she added, “Who would've thought that not only does fashion trends revolve in cycles, but so does the toy industry? Perhaps in a few years, I might find myself at the forefront of fashion too.”

I thought we didn't buy it last night?
