The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 548

Chapter 548 I Did Not Want You To Be Distracted

With a fleeting glance toward the back seat, Josiah quickly averted his eyes, explaining, “His death has nothing to do with me. He got drunk on his own, fell into the river, and drowned.”

“When did this happen?”

“Before we went to Apex City.”

“Wait…” Lysander suddenly realized. “You deliberately sent me to Apex City for the summit, just to sidestep this issue?”

“That was one of the reasons,” replied Josiah. “Attending the summit will more or less help you progress. Plus, it’s been a while since Harry drowned. His body was just discovered late, leading to severe decomposition. I know how much you respect life, so I didn’t want you to be distracted.”

Lysander fell silent.

Josiah reached out and gently covered her hand, patting it lightly. “His ashes have already been sent back to his hometown for burial. A simple funeral was held, giving him some sense of closure.”

“You even arranged his funeral?”

“I hired a local wedding and funeral team to deal with it? Josiah said, “I’m starting to be superstitious now. No matter what, I think it will bring good fortune to our child.”

When they returned to the hotel, Nieva had already returned from her trek, just as expected. She was casually dressed, sitting in the dining room and enjoying the view while sipping on her coffee and nibbling on pastries.

Now that her job was done, Saffron handed the stroller over to Josiah before she returned to her post.

From a distance, Nieva spotted Josiah pushing a baby stroller, walking alongside Lysander. She couldn’t help but tease, “Well, look at that. Aurora seems so well–behaved in your care, almost as if she’s yours.”

Josiah took a seat across from her, eyeing Lysander’s helpless expression. He warned, “You better watch what you say, or I’ll end up getting punished.”

Nieva couldn’t help herself, she slapped the table and burst into laughter. “Honestly, I’d love to see you in such a situation, Mr. Guerra!”
