The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 528 Spotting Something Amiss

Josiah approached the bedside, seeing that Aurora had already changed into her little indoor outfit. Aurora- looked as adorable as a moving plush toy, which instantly put him at ease.

Aurora could only lie down at that time, but her arms and legs had already become quite nimble.

Josiah picked up the plushie on the bed to tease her. She reached out to grab it, then without hesitation, tried to put it in her mouth. He quickly snatched it away with sharp eyes and fast hands, then continued to tease her with another type of toy.

The two were having the time of their lives.

After Aurora had her fill of play, Josiah placed the electric wind chime, which would spin at the flick of a switch, above the bed for her to watch. He then sat down by the bed, keeping an eye on Aurora to prevent her from rolling over. With a serious expression, he said, “You seemed to behave differently toward Tiffany today.”

Lysander didn’t plan on hiding it from him. “It’s that obvious?”

Josiah resolutely shook his head. “No, and I’m not defending her. I just remember how you used to take care of her, even saying she was a sheltered child and so you don’t need to guard against her like you just did.

Lysander said softly, “People always change.”

Josiah looked into her eyes and asked, “Did you notice something was off?”

Lysander didn’t respond. Instead, she turned around and asked him, “Josiah, answer my question first.”

Seeing her serious expression, Josiah replied in a serious tone, too. “Ask away.”

“If I were to tell you Tiffany isn’t as innocent and harmless as she appears, will you believe me?”

That question sparked a sense of déjà vu in both of them.

That was the underlying cause of their separation and the final straw that broke their already collapsing marriage.

When Lysander asked, she didn’t hold any hope, her expression particularly indifferent. “Never mind. Pretend I didn’t ask.”

She had long grown accustomed to the idea that without hope, there could be no disappointment.

To her surprise, Josiah stated decisively, “I will.”

Lysander lifted her gaze, looking at him.

Josiah looked at her, his gaze still gentle yet filled with determination. “I believe in you.”
