Encountering a kind soul while traveling was ultimately an experience that brought joy.
Once the pasta had been served, Josiah had Lysander eat first while he took some of the plain pasta and carefully blew on it to cool it down before letting Aurora have a taste. Aurora's eyes widened immediately, even as she cooed to convey that she wanted another bite.
Josiah took a spoonful of soup for her to taste, his movements so meticulous that it was impossible that he was impatient. He even remembered to use a napkin to wipe Aurora's mouth.
At that moment, it was neither early nor late. It wasn't quite dinnertime yet, so they were the only patrons present in the restaurant.
The restaurant owner sat down nearby and turned on the television in the restaurant. While watching the show to pass the time, he chatted with them casually. “A man who cherishes his wife is truly different. Young man, the way you feed the child is just perfect.”
Misunderstood too many times, Lysander no longer felt like explaining things. After all, it was indeed challenging to avoid being misunderstood when an adult man and a woman were out with a baby who had just turned one.
Faced with the same situation, she had developed a well-practiced routine. She merely nodded with a grunt, adapting seamlessly to any changes.
In contrast to his usual efficient and decisive demeanor at work, Josiah became a wholly different person. He started conversing in a more approachable manner. “I honed these skills over time. After all, when you're out and about, you have to rely on yourself. By the way, are there any interesting places around here?”
He didn't want to drag Lysander and Aurora to places thronged by tourists. Thus, he immediately seized the opportunity and struck up a conversation with the chatty restaurant owner.
At that, Lysander lifted an eyebrow and cast an approving look at him.
She reckoned that his dedication to planning their travel itinerary even while having a meal was truly admirable.
The restaurant owner had been idling around with nothing much to do. Hearing the question from the young couple, he immediately began listing the places as if sharing all he knew. “If you head out from here and walk for about ten minutes, you'll find a seaside park. There's a beach there. With Christmas approaching, the nearby commercial district is also hosting a raffle...”
Josiah listened quietly, all the while making plans in his mind. He was contemplating whether to inquire further about the local delicacies from the restaurant owner when a piece of news airing on television caught their attention.
It was a breaking news update. “Recently, Dillon Lanister, the former president of Riveron Corporation, is suspected of poisoning and murder...”
Josiah hadn't expected that they could still receive related news even after leaving Harborbrook. Subconsciously, he glanced in Lysander's direction. Seeing that she was also looking at the television, he began to watch the news report silently.
The restaurant owner clicked his tongue as he watched the news.
“Dillon Lanister is downright despicable. In order to develop mansions, not only did force others to sell their land, but he also resorted to poisoning and killing. Now, evidence has been found to convict him. Verily, justice has long arms. I just pity the victims whose promising futures were tragically cut short.”
The news highlighted how Dillon tacitly allowed his subordinate to make an example out of others, resulting in a promising university student being left disabled and forced to live in a nursing home for treatment. It successfully sparked a heated debate among the public.

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....
