His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 6 Is There Pure Friendship Between Men and Women?

but there were indeed a lot of people today. Josiah was the absolute center of attention, surrounded by a crowd, chatting with various people. Lysander didn’t want to join, so she found a secluded seat and sat down. Mirage was unusually noisy, and Josiah seemed to feel warm. So, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over his arm. But a hand quickly took it over. “I’ll hold it for you.” He dodged slightly, avoiding her hand. “It’s okay. I can hold it myself.” Lysanne smiled lightly and gently said, “Look at all these people.
