His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 156 He Is Stuck With That Girl

Maverick revealed a set of pearly white teeth as he chuckled sheepishly.

Lysander spoke honestly, telling Maverick all about the day she bumped into Lysanne’s parents in the hospital humbly pleading with Josiah not to abandon their daughter.

When Maverick heard about Josiah’s intention to sever ties with Lysanne, his expression was one of immensel satisfaction. However, upon hearing about Lysanne’s parents, he let out a long sigh and patted Lysander’s shoulder. “It seems he’s stuck with that girl in this lifetime.”

This was more or less what Lysander thought as well.

Lysanne had lost her ability to bear children, and the health of the elderly Thorne couple was deteriorating. While they were still in relatively good health, they wanted to secure a stable future for their only daughter.

Josiah was essentially raised before their eyes, so they knew him inside and out. They had absolute faith in his character.

As long as he gave his approval, the latter half of Lysanne’s life wouldn’t be too shabby.

Yet, they understood in their hearts that binding Josiah for a lifetime was also unfair to him.

However, they had no choice. For the sake of their daughter, they had to play the villain. Using their status as elders, they pressured him with their health and even their lives. They used every means possible to force him to swallow this thorn in his throat.
