His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 416 Does Not Want To See Me

Howard opened his mouth but didn’t utter a single word after a moment of hesitation.

Lysander sighed helplessly. “Didn’t you say this matter had nothing to do with Josiah?”

“It’s not really like that…” Howard stammered.

Lysander shook her head in resignation. fh, never mind. The situation was critical back then, and we indeed saved Old Mrs. Everhart’s life. Mr. Thorne probably kept this from me because he didn’t want me to feel awkward considering my recent breakup with Josiah. His intention was good.

“No, no, I won’t. I dare not go there again,” she promised.

Lysander asked, “By the way, has Zachary contacted you?”

“No, but I just gave him a call. After all, he helped me get this part–time job through his connections. It wouldn’t be right if I suddenly didn’t show up. I had to let him know and apologize, don’t you think?”
