The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 748

“On the eve of the Spring Festival, the convention center is bustling like a rush for performance targets, hosting several events simultaneously. Apart from the medical seminar, there are other activities upstairs, including a children's book exhibition that might interest a child. I could take Aurora there for some artistic exposure.”

He had already taken care of all the possible concerns that Lysander might have had.

A wave of warmth surged in Lysander's heart, and she didn't refuse any further.

The exhibition center wasn't too far from the hotel, but Josiah still chose to drive. “We don't know when we'll be back from this trip. It's better to be prepared with more of the baby's necessities. It's more convenient to have them in the car, and certainly easier than trying to buy them on the spot,” he reasoned.

As he spoke, his gaze would occasionally wander toward the pedestrians on the sidewalk, searching for Adrian's figure.

Adrian had pointed out the direction of the exhibition center to them the night before. Knowing his personality, he would most likely choose to walk there.

Josiah believed he had successfully concealed his jealousy in front of Lysander. By the time they reached the exhibition center, he acted as if nothing was amiss. He even pushed the stroller alongside her into the main forum of the seminar.

It wasn't uncommon to see partners accompanying each other to the forum, but bringing a child, especially one so young, was indeed a rare sight.

Some attendees spotted a baby in a stroller and initially assumed that their mother must have been unable to find a babysitter, thus bringing the baby along. However, when they got a clear look at the person pushing the stroller, they were nearly taken aback.

Josiah, for his part, didn't seem to mind at all, carrying himself much like a doting father.

Lysander noticed that Aurora was quietly following him around. After doing a quick survey of the area, she turned to Josiah and said, “There's a lecture going on in the multimedia hall inside. I'd like to listen in for a bit. If you need me, just send me a message.”

“Hold on a moment,” Josiah pulled out his phone and asked, “Can we reconnect on WhatsApp? It's much faster than texting.”

Back when they divorced, Lysander was genuinely disheartened and devastated. She completely erased his contact information, leaving no trace. It was only later, due to certain inconveniences, that she reluctantly saved his phone number again.

Lysander was eager to chat with the experts who had come to attend the medical seminar this time. As soon as Josiah finished scanning her QR code, she hurried off, not noticing the difference in his WhatsApp account from before.

Josiah had always been indifferent toward these matters, treating his social media account settings as if they were managed by a robot. However, at this moment, he quietly changed his profile picture.

The avatar of Lysander was always quite simple, featuring a crescent moon hanging in an indigo night sky.

Josiah browsed the internet, settling on an image of a golden sun nestled between the blue sky and white clouds, and changed his profile picture to it.

Then, satisfied, he tucked his phone back into his pocket.

When Lysander entered the function room, there weren't many people around yet. The seats were plentiful on all sides. Just like her school days, she found a corner where she could see and hear everything clearly and settled down there.

When the speaker took the stage and the lights dimmed everywhere except the podium, the corner would be the least crowded. She could immerse herself in writing and sketching without worrying about disturbing others or being disturbed herself.

Just as the presentation was about to commence, Lysander heard a rustling sound beside her. Someone had taken a seat one spot away from her.

Lysander, driven by curiosity, cast a sidelong glance, only to meet Adrian's gaze directly.

Adrian appeared quite amiable, simply nodding slightly toward her as a greeting, an action perfectly fitting for friends meeting each other.

Lysander and he both felt guiltless. Seeing the situation, they didn't bother to avoid any misunderstanding. They behaved just like students who happened to meet in a classroom, each minding their own business. Once the presentation was over and the speaker had left, they exchanged a few words.
