The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 170 Can You Man Up

Panic was evident in Aiden’s voice. “Josiah, please don’t-”

Upon entering, three of the four people locked eyes.

Lysander didn’t bother lifting her head as she was half–crouched on the ground, inspecting Zachary’s injury.

Zachary, on the other hand, recognized Josiah. “M–Mr. Guerra?”

Yet, Josiah paid him no mind, his gaze shifting downward to land on Lysander.

Zachary immediately endured the pain and turned around, doing his best to shield Lysander with his legs. Then, with a hint of apology, he said to Josiah, “I’m sorry, but we’re dealing with a bit of a unique situation. My friend is helping me out.”

She was saying something about how his pants were too tight so she could only tear them, and that it was quicker if she helped him. There was also the sound of a man gasping for breath. How could I not guess what was happening inside? I didn’t dare to enter…”

Upon hearing these words, Zachary’s face immediately changed. He frantically waved his hands and said, “No, it’s not like that. It’s not what you’re thinking! We were just…”
