Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 165

N Laugh.

As dusk settled, the group of friends decided it was time to head home after a fun-filled evening.

Nathaniel, who was hosting this gathering at a private club, saw everyone off at the entrance until only a few remained.

He watched Giselle get into Lysander's car and couldn't resist pulling Lysander aside for a quiet word.

"Come on, you owe me an explanation. What exactly are your intentions with Giselle?"

Among their circle, Giselle was affectionately known as "Sis Giselle" because she was a bit older and always known for her competence since childhood.

Lysander glanced at him, his expression clear and sober under the moonlight, his voice steady. "Why does it matter to you?"

Nathaniel felt his irritation rising. "We're like brothers! Of course, it matters to me."

"Giselle's practically family to me, too. Can't I show a little concern?"

"Listen, if you really have feelings for her, you should sort out your marriage first. It's not fair to keep things ambiguous."

"You don't want things getting messy on both sides, do you? You'd be the one with the headache."

Lysander's gaze was icy. "Mind your own business. Maybe you should sort out your family issues first."

Nathaniel let out a frustrated laugh.

"Seriously, I'm trying to have a real conversation here, and you're stabbing me in the heart."

He knew his family, the Pembrokes, had their own share of drama—a tangled mess of unresolved issues spanning years. Did he really need reminding?

Unable to hold back, Nathaniel gave Lysander a playful punch on the shoulder. They'd been friends for years, after all. Despite the tension, he offered some heartfelt advice.

"I'm serious."
