Lysander felt that if all they did was eat before returning to the hotel, the vacation this time would practically be pointless.
Josiah also hoped that Lysander could enjoy herself, ideally forgetting all the repression and pain from the previous year. He voluntarily helped to carry her bag and push the baby stroller, allowing her to walk ahead without carrying anything.
The restaurant owner had good taste, and his descriptions were reliable. The seaside park he mentioned was not only scenic but also featured a shallow beach strewn with pebbles. It was a popular spot among locals and tourists alike, who often visited for walks and photos.
Some of the young people even brought along picnic mats and tents. It appeared that they had spent quite a bit of time there.
Dressed in a simple long skirt and blouse, Lysander had her hair tied back with a plain black hair tie. But when she stood on the shallow beach, she still managed to catch the attention of many young men.
They assumed she was just like them, a singleton out for a stroll. They eagerly started approaching and striking up a conversation with her.
Among them, the boldest was a young man in his early twenties. Wearing a pair of rimmed glasses, he appeared refined and polite. “Hello, are you also here to enjoy the view of the sea?”
“No, I'm just having a casual stroll,” Lysander answered honestly.
The man had prepared a poetic pick-up line related to the sea but promptly choked on his words. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was abruptly bumped by a baby stroller.
“Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you,” Josiah said emotionlessly while pushing Aurora in a baby stroller.
Then, he seamlessly positioned himself between the young man and Lysander.
Having been disrupted from what he thought was his chance, the young man replied in slight annoyance, “It's fine.”
He wished that the doting father with a child in front of him would have the sense to leave on his own accord. However, Josiah continued, “My wife and I are tourists from out of town. We're just here to enjoy the scenery.”
The young man was instantly so shocked that it was as if he had been hit by a bolt of lightning.
Wife? And tourist? This girl standing before me, dressed so young and elegantly... is actually a married woman with a child?
After a brief moment of shock, the young man hastily muttered an apology before fleeing in search of his friends.
Josiah stared at his retreating figure, his face as dark as thunder.
Lysander couldn't help but laugh. “You seem to have scared him.”
“A mere scare is too lenient. Youth people nowadays truly lack discernment,” Josiah said lowly.
Lysander glanced at her own hand.
There was nothing on her ring finger.
Well, no wonder he couldn't tell.
Josiah also saw it but didn't dare openly voice his desire to buy a new wedding ring. All he could do was clear his throat subtly and ensure he didn't keep too much distance from her.
At the very least, anyone who glanced their way could tell they were together.
In reality, he didn't say anything at all. Yet, the mere sight of him carrying Lysander's bag and pushing the baby stroller led to the boy filling in the rest of the story by imagination.

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....
