Chapter 623 Can We Talk Inside.
At that time, Josiah was entirely committed to Lysander’s well–being, treating her with such careful attention as though she were something precious and fragile. He wouldn’t dream of causing her any upset.
Michelle’s features softened slightly as she responded, “All right, then I’ll go back and check on her.”
“No need, I’ll go. You should head back to sleep. If your sister sees you up this late, she’ll surely worry. I’ll go check on her.” Josiah’s offer came from a place of deep consideration for both sisters‘ well–being.

Lysander seemed surprised. “Michelle heard me?”
“Yeah.
