The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Your Duty To The Girl! 

Josiah returned to the old house after finishing work in the evening. 

The maid opened the door and greeted him, “Mr. Guerra, you’re back.” 

“Um, where’s my mom?” Josiah asked. 

The maid replied, “Madam is reading the bible.” 

“Reading the bible?” Josiah asked again. 

The maid replied, “Yes.” 

Josiah proceeded to the study room but was taken aback by the scene before him. 

He thought. Mom seems to have aged more than ten years in just over a month. Despite her typical dedication to maintaining a youthful a 

through a healthy lifestyle, she now adorns herself in nothing more than the 

simplest home clothes. Her hair has turned noticeably white and a weariness clings to her. 

“Mom,” Josiah called out. 

Susan raised her eyes, noticed him, and greeted him with a reserved tone, “Why are you back?” 

Josiah replied, “I heard you weren’t feeling well, so I came to take you to the hospital.” 

“It’s okay. You go o about your business. Eleanor has already bought me medicine, and I’ve taken it. I’m much better now.” Susan assured him with a faint smile before resuming her reading. 

Josiah asked. “What medicine did Eleanor buy for you? Let me take a look.” 

Susan replied, “Do you know anything about medicine?” 

Josiah admitted, “Not really.” 

Susan dismissed. “If you don’t understand, what’s the use of checking?” 

Josiah could see that his mother was upset. He mused. Mom has aged a lot recently. She even experienced headaches, which are probably related to the recent situation of my marriage. 

Josiah felt a heaviness in his heart. He then approached and offered, “Mom, let me give you a massage.” 

“Mm,” Susan acknowledged softly. 

Standing behind his mother, Josiah gently massaged her temples with his fingertips. He asked, “How do you feel, Mom? Does it feel better?” 

Susan closed her eyes and replied weakly, “How could it not be good? You learned massage techniques from an experienced therapist.”

“No need. You didn’t learn it for me in the first place, Susan refused, causing Josiah’s hands to pause. 

Susan then gently brushed away his hand and pointed to the door, stating, “Alright, you’ve shown filial piety. No one can deny that. You can go now.” 

“This is my home. Where else would I go?” Josiah asked. 

Susan teased, “Go back to Lysanne. You abandoned your wife and child, took the blame, and went to jail for her. Don’t you love her? Be with her. Why stay with an old woman like me?” 

Josiah’s expression turned grim. He took a deep breath before asking, “Didn’t you also like Lysanne before?” 

“I like her because she is Mr. Thorne’s daughter. I treat her well for the sake of our old neighbors and friends, but that doesn’t mean I will allow her to destroy my son’s marriage!” Susan retorted. She was outraged, speaking each word with emphasis and emotion. 

Susan stopped her prayer and turned to 

  1. She fixed a deep gaze on him while advising, Josiah, I have nothing to say if you don’t have feelings for Lysander and have decided to wait for Lyss for the rest of your life. However, you must take responsibility for Lysander since you have already married ber! What are you doing just casting her aside like this?!” 

Josiah lowered his head slightly, gritting his teeth.
