The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 608 I Can Do It If I Say I Can

Upon hearing Maverick pose such a question, Susan and Howard stopped their diversions. Instead, they held their breath and focused, eager to hear what he would say next.

The fact that he was willing to ask this question at least indicated that his feelings toward Josiah were no longer simply of pure disgust.

Maverick spoke with a heavy tone. “How can you be so sure that what you’re saying now is truly what you’ve thought through? Is there still a possibility that you might change your mind in the future?”

The words spoken were razor–sharp, accompanied by a curious gaze that seemed to delve deeply.

Josiah didn’t shy away or avoid, instead, he met Maverick’s gaze head–on, wanting to assure him of hist sincerity at that moment.

“Mr. Maverick, I understand that your wariness and aversion toward me stem entirely from your genuine concern for Lysander. I have always treated you and Mdm. Laura with the utmost respect. Whether or not what I’m saying is true, I believe you should be able to discern from our interactions these past few days.”

He had always been at the mercy of Maverick, enduring both physical and verbal abuse without uttering a single word of complaint.

Maverick studied the scar still faintly visible on his brow, his demeanor softening a bit as he continued, “For now, I’ll assume you’re sincere. But as for the future… who can really say?”

With utmost sincerity, Josiah responded, “I can swear to you right now that I truly regret my past From now on, I will only love Lysander wholeheartedly, this will never change again.”

He was so resolute in his attitude that he almost didn’t know how to prove his feelings anymore.

Knowing her son better than anyone else, Susan could tell that he was speaking from his heart. She couldn’t help but add, “He expressed his intentions to me a while ago, saying he would marry no one but Lysander in this lifetime. I’ve even considered visiting an orphanage to adopt a child to raise as my grandchild. Let the youngsters deal with it themselves, I’m not butting in.”
