The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 486 You Seem Quite Disappointed In Men

As soon as the words fell, a sharp gaze swept over from the rearview mirror.

The car that had been driving smoothly came to a sudden halt. Both Lysander and Tiffany, unprepared for the abrupt stop, lurched forward, taken aback by the surprise.

Lysander, in particular, was just raising her hand and almost got flung from the back seat to the front.

Tiffany’s face was as pale as a sheet. She barely managed to steady herself by holding onto the back of the chair in front of her. She sat down, still in shock and unable to utter a single word.

Josiah clenched his hands on the steering wheel, nearly deforming the leather cover in his grip. His complexion was so dark that it looked terrifying. His voice was even gloomier as he apologized, “Sorry, a stray dog just ran past.”

The car had already passed the most congested section of the road, currently cruising along a one–way street with a speed limit.

Lysander glanced around the tree–lined path on both sides of the road, then said thoughtfully, “I didn’t expect you to be so compassionate.”

Tiffany followed suit and peered out the car window. Of course, she didn’t even catch a glimpse of a stray dog. However, she had complete trust in Josiah and didn’t overthink it. Believing him wholeheartedly, she said, “Lysander, Jose might come across as aloof, but he’s actually very kind.”

Lysander’s eyelid twitched, resisting the urge to retort. Instead, she subtly suggested, “Sometimes, it’s not just about what a person says, but also what they do.”

Tiffany dutifully took note, then asked, “Lysander, is this wisdom gleaned from your own experiences in love?”

Lysander snorted coldly. “It’s an insight I’ve gained from marriage.”

Tiffany asked innocently, “Is it because of your ex–husband?”

“Sort of.”

While they were talking, Josiah started the car, remaining silent as he continued to drive toward the hotel. The aura he exuded was startlingly tense.

Tiffany was engrossed in conversation with Lysander, oblivious to his peculiar behavior. With a look of admiration, she said, “Lysander, I’ve heard that the quickest way to get over a past relationship is to start a new one. If your ex–husband hurt you, you might consider accepting a new boyfriend. That j

time seemed quite nice to you.”

Lysander said, “Those are two separate matters.”

Josiah’s expression reflected in the rear–view mirror grew increasingly unpleasant.
