His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 544

Chapter 544 A Pawn

The two of them returned to the ard together.

Lysander pushed the door open. “Dad, Mom, I’m back.”

The conversation between Laura and Camila abruptly halted. Maverick even shot a fiery glare directly at Josiah.

Josiah didn’t show any signs of discomfort, as if that was his first time appearing there. “Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, I just happened to run into Lysander downstairs, so we came up together.”

Maverick scoffed coldly, turning his head away directly.

Camila knew he was Lysander’s ex–husband. Seeing them together again, yet without any sign of Zachary, she couldn’t help but worry. She kept glancing behind them anxiously.

Josiah had already casually closed the door, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward.

Camila had been holding back, but in the end, she couldn’t help but ask Lysander, “Lysander, didn’t Zachary go for a walk with you? Why hasn’t he returned yet? It’s getting late. We should be leaving soon.”

Lysander hesitated and said, “He-”

Josiah was there for a reason, and he timely intercepted the conversation by answering, “Mr. Powell has an unexpected matter to attend to. He has gone on a business trip.”

Zachary was employed at Guerra Group at the time. Given Josiah’s position as the employer, his words naturally held a high degree of credibility.

Camila was somewhat intimidated by Josiah, but she was driven by her concern for her son. She cautiously asked, “Mr. Guerra, isn’t this arrangement a bit too abrupt? He didn’t even have time to come upstairs and tell me.”

Josiah didn’t feel like saying much. He simply stated, “It’s an urgent matter.”

Laura was soft–hearted and offered some comforting words by saying, “Indeed, Zach takes his work very seriously. Now that the company needs him, he naturally has no choice but to step up.”
