The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 751

Lysander momentarily fluttered her eyelashes without speaking.

Josiah was in no rush. He asked her with a smile, “Will you be coming again this afternoon?”

“No, the seminar I was most interested in is already over. If I stay any longer, the baby might get bored,” Lysander said. Looking at Aurora in the baby stroller who was laughing heartily, she reached out to playfully tickle her. “Where would you like to go play?”

Her usually cold and aloof tone involuntarily softened when she communicated with Aurora.

The baby was remarkably perceptive of adult emotions. With a series of coos and gurgles, she reached out, wanting Lysander to hold her. Although her words were incomprehensible, a few clear words could still be made out. “Mommy... hold me...”

It was about time for the one-year-old baby to start learning to speak.

No one usually taught her to say “Mommy” or “Daddy.” It was unknown who she had learned this from.

Lysander's eyes welled up with tears.

Had she not chosen to terminate her pregnancy back then, by now she would likely have been teaching her daughter to speak.

Josiah's thoughts mirrored Lysander's perfectly. He paused, his expression so complex that it was hard to discern his feelings at that moment. That was until Aurora suddenly pouted and burst into tears again.

Before children learn to speak, their means of expressing their inner emotions are extremely limited, with crying being the most effective method.

Lysander quickly glanced around, noticing no one or nothing that could possibly startle her. Turning back to her, she started to consider other possibilities. “Could she be hungry?”

“She drinks formula milk every three hours. I just fed her half an hour ago.” Josiah remembered this particularly well.

Lysander was just about to check if Aurora's clothes were bringing her discomfort, or if something was bothering her. Suddenly, she felt a damp sensation from the hand she was holding her and immediately asked, “Did you change her diaper?”

Josiah awkwardly rubbed his nose. “It was a bit inconvenient for me... so I asked the staff to help me change it once.”

Though Aurora was still young, far from the age where she could comprehend the concept of gender, he hadn't even successfully become a godfather yet, making some tasks truly inconvenient.

Lysander noticed his awkwardness, his hands and feet seemingly not knowing where to place themselves. She didn't tease or joke with him; instead, she picked up a diaper and Aurora's change of clothes and headed toward the nursing room. When she came out, she asked with a mix of amusement and exasperation, “You must have asked a young lady to help you, huh?”

Josiah didn't understand why she was asking this, but he nodded in affirmation.

Lysander's smile grew even brighter. “Their diaper changing skills are about on par with yours. One side wasn't fastened properly. They clearly lack experience with children.”

When it came to the experience of caring for children, Josiah, who had spent some time learning from Eleanor, might be even better equipped.

Josiah wanted to say that he actually knew how to change diapers, but it was simply awkward for him to do so for a baby girl. However, as the words reached the tip of his tongue, he remembered why he had initially learned these things and couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.

The atmosphere was so pleasant now that rectifying past mistakes seemed somewhat like a buzzkill.

Josiah deftly removed Aurora's dirty clothes, stowing them in the laundry bag at the bottom of the baby stroller. He had become adept at this, knowing what to do next without needing Lysander's reminders. He was fully exemplifying the admirable virtue of diligence and thrift.

If this were in the past before he had experienced the life of an ordinary person, with his unfamiliar understanding of worldly hardships, he would likely have chosen to discard it and simply buy a new one.

Having lived in the village for a while, he underwent a complete transformation. The last time they met, he gave Aiden and the others quite a shock.

After doing all these, Josiah turned and asked Lysander, “Would it be too much of a hassle to go back to the hotel to change clothes? How about we just buy something new from a nearby mall?”

He hadn't caught sight of Adrian all this while, worrying that he might have actually gone back to the hotel for a midday rest.

Lysander's thoughts were still not completely detached from the medical seminar she had attended earlier that day. When it came to processing matters, she was always straightforward, never one to beat around the bush. This was especially true in the realm of emotions, an area where she was admittedly slow. Without any hesitation, she said, “All right.”
