His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 440 We Are All Clever Individuals

His voice wasn’t loud. In fact, it wasn’t enough for Adrian on the other end of the phone to hear.

Caught between the two of them, Lysander couldn’t help but feel a wave of annoyance. She had already encountered enough trouble recently and neither had the time nor the inclination to waste energy on such trivial matters.

While on the phone, Adrian sensed her silence and took the initiative to ask, “Did you go to see Josiah again?”

“No, it was a chance encounter.”

“It seemed like he harbors quite a grudge against me.”

“Dr. Sutton, what are your plans for the future? Are you going back to Stounia, or do you plan on working here?”

“Why are you suddenly asking this?”

Lysander said, “Anesthesiologists are in high demand, both domestically and internationally. I just think that if you could continue your medical career, no matter where you are, you would be able to help a lot more patients.”

Adrian’s laugh had a touch of melancholy. “I understand what you mean. I’ll try to call you less in the future.”

Lysander opened her mouth, wanting to deny it, yet she found herself unable to utter words that would contradict her heart.

What she had just said, indeed, conveyed that meaning.

“All right, Lysander. I understand. I’ll give serious thought to what you just told me.”

“Okay.”

Lysander put away her phone, ignoring the disgruntled look on Josiah’s face. She turned around and headed toward the hall door, never once looking back.

Daphne had been waiting alone at the dining table for Lysander for quite some time. When she returned, she didn’t question her about why she had been in the restroom for so long. Instead, she simply reported, “Not long after you left, they moved to a different location for photos. I noticed that Josiah seems to favor Tiffany over that pretentious woman now.”
