The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 604 Two Families Become One

However, what truly captured her attention was Howard, who was emerging from the house. He was pushing Molly, who still be in a wheelchair for some time, and walked over with a radiant smile on his face.

Molly’s condition was improving quite well, but after such a severe illness, it was hard for her to bounce back to her former state in a short period of time. Hence, she refrained from walking around too much following the doctor’s advice.

She had barely caught sight of her daughter in the distance, and she almost started walking towards her. It was Howard who managed to dissuade her from doing so.

Upon seeing the couple coming out to greet her directly, Lysander didn’t forget her manners. She promptly returned their smile, though there was still a hint of discomfort etched between her brows.

No matter what they said, she just couldn’t consider this house as her home. The home where she grew up was somewhere else, a place that may not have been spacious, but was indeed warm and cozy.

Howard was the first to speak, “Lysa, you’re here. Come on in. Susan is here too, she was delighted when she heard you are coming.”

Hearing this, Laura was slightly puzzled. “You have guests at your place? Did we come at a wrong time?”

She glanced at her husband, feeling that something was a bit off.

Maverick also furrowed his brows, unsure of what was going on.

Howard hurriedly clarified, “She’s not a stranger, and Lysander knows her too. She’s Josiah’s mother. She happened to be visiting when she heard that Molly was discharged from the hospital, so she came to visit.”

Only then did Maverick understand, and his expression significantly relaxed. Then, he nodded and said, “I remember Susan used to be quite fond of Lysa.”

Upon learning that Josiah’s mother was also present, Lysander breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen Madam Susan,” she said. “I should take this opportunity to greet her.”
