They had been married for three years, and Lysander still remembered how the greenhouse at the Guerra family's old house looked.
However, Lysander was surprised when they entered the greenhouse. The greenhouse had been transformed into a spacious area with tables, chairs, and even a bookshelf filled with materials related to her field of study. There were even original foreign medical monographs.
She walked over for a closer look. It felt less like a greenhouse now and more like a unique study.
Aurora was quite intrigued by the flowers and plants. Out of curiosity, she reached out to touch the primroses, which thrived even in winter. Their pale-colored blooms scattered across the pots.
Josiah picked a few flowers. Using the skills he had learned while making animal balloons in the morning, he ingeniously crafted a tiny floral bracelet. He placed it on Aurora's hand before starting to discuss his plans.
“Treating illnesses and saving lives has always been your dream. After the New Year, it's time for you to return to work. This space is specifically set up for you to study. It's quiet here, and the air quality is good.”
Before meeting with Fred, he had secretly made a few phone calls to discuss matters with him, including the process for Lysander to return to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Most importantly, they talked about her previous research direction and the resources she would need upon her return.
This included papers published by top medical research labs abroad, which were not easy to gather. Nevertheless, he leveraged all his connections and even provided deals for overseas collaborators just to gather everything one day before New Year's Day.
There was actually one more thing they both tacitly remembered but didn't mention.
The medical books Lysander had left in their marital room were later sold as scrap by herself.
Lysander reached out and casually picked up a book. She recognized that it was one of the books on her shelf.
“This book isn't easy to come by.”
Josiah didn't deny it and simply responded, “Yeah.”
“How did you manage to find this?”
“It wasn't too much of a hassle. It just took a bit of time. Thankfully, I've managed to recover most of the books. There are still a few books that haven't been settled yet. Just give me a bit more time.”
Lysander raised an eyebrow. “Negotiated? With whom?”
“The library of Cranberg University.”
Lysander sighed. “You shouldn't negotiate with them. It's best for the medical books to remain in the library where everyone can access them. They hold more value there than just sitting on my personal bookshelf.”
After some thought, Josiah said, “I'll have someone bring a copy back.”
Lysander nodded. “Thank you.”
Upon seeing that he had hit the mark this time with his gift, Josiah's expression softened. He added thoughtfully, “Actually, there is a study in the house. However, I notice that you're juggling between taking care of Aurora and reading, which is indeed quite taxing. Therefore, I specifically had the greenhouse renovated for you. I hope you like it.”
“I really like it,” Lysander said with a smile. Her appetite at breakfast was even better than usual. She wasn't sure if it was because the food he made suited her taste or if the cozy arrangement of the place made her feel at ease.
The new study was not only uniquely decorated but also had excellent soundproofing. When Lysander grew tired from studying, she could simply lift her eyes to see the flowers and plants outside, eliminating the worry of eye strain.
Time passed quickly. By the time Lysander fully withdrew from the business world, which she had never been interested in, and returned to working at the hospital, it was already past the new year. The Spring Festival was just around the corner.

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....
