His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 676 All Roads Lead To A Dead End

As Lysander hoisted his arm over her shoulder, she explained to him, “The Great Gathering is when the local villagers gather for a day of trade. Everyone will bring something to exchange on that day. This is the only town nearby, so it’s bound to be exceptionally lively in the next couple of days.”

She had come to the rural village to seek relief from her inner torment and despair. Up until now, she had only heard about the local festivities but had never participated. However, after the thrilling events of the previous night, she had finally developed a certain interest in these vibrant, lively activities.

With a thoughtful expression, Josiah suggested, “Driving back and forth is quite a hassle. Why don’t we extend our stay in town for a couple of days this time? Like the other villagers, we could go to the Great Gathering and visit the festival of the deities. I had no idea such events even existed before.”

Before leaving, Carol had instructed the driver to return the car to the entrance of the village, which indeed saved them a good deal of trouble.

Josiah had injured his ankle and wasn’t able to exert much force for the time being. Naturally, the task of driving fell onto Lysander.

Lysander had never driven the car before, but she adapted quickly. After taking the car keys, she practiced a bit at the village entrance, and soon she was smoothly on her way.

Just as the villagers had mentioned, the townsfolk had already begun preparations for the Great Gathering happening the next day, causing the roads to gradually become more congested.

Josiah was worried that Lysander, with her limited driving experience, wouldn’t be able to handle such at challenging situation. Unexpectedly, she managed to keep the car particularly steady.

It was indeed quite consistent with her usual character.
