The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 1 Like Two Different People

“Lysander, Lysander…” In her ear was his slightly deep and hoarse voice, gentle and a hint of clinging. After getting married for three years, Lysander Thorne was still of the opinion that Josiah Guerra was an entirely different being when in bed. On ordinary days, Josiah was considerate and gentle, a true gentleman. But when it came to their intimate moments at night, Lysander always felt like she couldn’t keep up with his stamina. By the time it was all over, she was so sore that she couldn’t even lift her arms. And then, he grasped her arm again. Lysander couldn’t even open her eyes. She pleaded and acted coyly, “Don’t you think we should stop?

on the theory side of things. When it came to handling the real thing, she considered herself a novice. Fortunately, Josiah was a gentleman, and they wouldn’t spend all their time clinging to each other like some other newlyweds, but they still treated each other with respect.

When she walked out of the operating room, her legs almost gave up on her.
