The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 468 The Fainting Was All An Act

“In our circles, there are some occasions you just can’t avoid. As long as you maintain your integrity, no one will force you to do anything.”

Lysander nodded, not intending to probe further.

She hadn’t pried into his matters during their marriage, much less now.

“She’s had a tough time,” Josiah continued. “Your parents were quite good to you. They worked hard to support your education, and you certainly made them proud. But there are many girls around the world who don’t get the chance to go to school, who lack education and opportunities and have very few options for work. I won’t lie to you. I’ve known Amelia for quite a while. When Lysanne got married abroad, I was very distressed and had no one to talk to except her. But we were just friends, nothing more.”

Lysander replied, “You should explain that to Priscilla.”

Josiah knew this was a rare opportunity. With genuine delight in his voice, he tentatively asked, “So, when you saw Amelia by my side recently, were you angry?”

Lysander met his gaze directly, seeing his barely concealed emotions. She said calmly, “If you want the truth, I don’t care.”

Josiah’s smile froze instantly.

“You’re a single man in your prime, with status and position. Naturally, you won’t lack women around you. Whether it’s one or many, that’s up to you. From what I’ve seen, Tiffany doesn’t seem to mind. If you both agree on your relationship dynamics, that’s fine.”

Having grown up abroad, Tiffany might have a more open–minded view on relationships and could accept this kind of relationship.

Lysander added fire to fuel. “When are you and Tiffany planning to get married?”

Josiah, who had just managed to calm himself, felt his breath catch in his chest again.

Josiah snorted coldly, his expression turning frosty once more. However, considering Lysander’s attitude

softened today, he remained silent.

The deliveryman’s voice broke the silence. “Hello, your delivery is here.”

Considering that Josiah was still a patient, Lysander went to the door herself to collect the seafood. “Thank you.”

She was about to take the ingredients straight to the kitchen to cook them quickly and leave when she noticed that the takeaway box in her hand seemed to contain… cooked food?

“Did you buy pre–cooked seafood?”

Josiah mumbled, “Maybe the restaurant made a mistake.”
