The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 513 Between Men

Aurora widened her eyes without blinking while they argued, her gaze filled with bewilderment. She was so engrossed in the adults‘ conversation that she didn’t even pay attention to the other kids in the playground, curiously staring at the adults, turning her head from time to time. Upon locking eyes with someone, she’d even flash an adorable smile.

Daphne had her back facing Josiah, her anger subsiding when she wasn’t looking at his face. Her disappointment, however, was apparent as she listlessly changed the topic. “This kid’s quite outgoing and

brave.”

Lysander thought about the outgoing and cheerful Nieva, sincerely complimenting. “Yeah, she probably takes after her mom. Ms. Lionhart has a cheerful and straightforward personality.”

Daphne held Aurora’s tiny hand. “I don’t mean to raise my voice, so don’t be scared, okay?”

The baby cooed and smiled in response.

Daphne smiled, too, taking the baby from Lysander and approaching Josiah, suppressing her annoyance as she handed the child over to him. “Ms. Lionhart’s your friend, so you should look after her child. You don’t mind, do you?”

Daphne was filled with irritation at the sight of Josiah. In a huff, she handed Aurora over to him, hoping to see him flustered and in distress. However, to her surprise, he held the child confidently and calmly.

Aurora, seemingly familiar with him, even broke into a wide grin.

Josiah lowered his head to gaze at the baby with a gentle smile, wearing a rare tender look on his face. “No problem. You guys go ahead and talk.”

Lysander walked over to grab Daphne. “Have you had breakfast yet? Let’s go grab something to eat.”

Daphne said defiantly, “No need. I’m so upset I don’t even feel like eating. It’s stifling here. Let’s go. somewhere else to get some fresh air!”

She took Lysander’s hand as she spoke, wanting to pull her away, but she soon paused and turned to Adrian. “Thanks for sending me here today. You can go about your business. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Adrian, however, said, “You guys go ahead. I still have some matters to deal with.”

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Josiah. Josiah noticed that and calmly met his gaze.

The two men went head to head against each other, leaving Lysander uneasy.

Aiden, too, was frightened, stepping in to interrupt, “You came here for me, didn’t you, Adrian? Let’s go. We can talk on the way.”
