The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 474 The First To Give In

Upon seeing the situation, Tiffany let out a long sigh. “Jose, it’s been many years, yet she remains your favorite person.”

With a softer tone, Josiah explained, “There’s nothing between her and me anymore, and there won’t be in the future. I’ve told you this many times before.”

“But she still holds a place in your heart.” Tiffany was certain of this. “However… it’s only natural that you can’t let go of Lyss.”

Josiah furrowed his brows. “What?”

Tiffany replied earnestly, “Lyss is so kind and perfect, so it’s only natural for you to like her. Don’t deceive yourself anymore. If you truly like her, go and reconcile with her. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with your collaboration with my father.”

The more Josiah listened, the deeper his frown became. He really had no experience in appeasing children.

“Tiffany, we agreed on this before.”

“Yes, we agreed we would announce our engagement to the world, to make Lyss and stop bothering you. But what I don’t understand is that you say you don’t care about her, yet you still dream of her. So, am I here to separate you two or to rekindle your love?”

“Tiffany, you’ve really misunderstood…”

“Jose, you two are so much older than me. When you first fell for Lyss, I was just a kid trailing behind you, engrossed in watching The Powerpuff Girls. On the day of my birthday party, Lyss claimed she was helping me to network. I did as you advised, mentioning our arranged marriage as much as possible in her presence. I could tell… she was holding back, but she was genuinely upset.”

There was an age difference of eight years between them.

Moreover, Tiffany had been overly sheltered by her family since childhood. She had attended an all–girls boarding school abroad, which had limited her social circle. This contributed to her current naive and innocent personality, to the extent that her emotional age seemed even younger than her actual age.

Faced with a young woman who still seemed like a child, Josiah, despite his urgency, could only force himself to be as gentle as possible. He suggested, “Tiffany, how about this? Let’s end our agreement. Once we return, I’ll clarify things with your father. You won’t have to pretend to be my fiancée anymore, and I’ll handle the situation with Lysanne myself.”

Biting her lip, Tiffany’s eyes still held a touch of confusion and bewilderment. “Jose, I truly don’t understand what you want me to do.”

“Starting from today, you don’t have to do anything anymore; just consider this as a leisurely vacation since you don’t come back to the country often. There are many historical sites in Apex City worth visiting. I’ll arrange for someone to accompany you for a few days, and once the summit is over, we can head back together. Then, I’ll have a chat with your father.”

“You have someone you like,” Tiffany stated. “But it’s not Lyss, is it?”

Hearing her speak so candidly, there was a sense of exhilaration in Josiah’s heart. He nodded. “Yes.”

“I get it now,” Tiffany said. “So, you wanted me to declare myself a make the woman you’re fond of jealous, didn’t you?”
