The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 646 Yearn Deeply

Immediately, Lysander understood Josiah’s feelings that morning when he was surrounded by the children, all asking him questions left and right. Unfortunately, she couldn’t divert the topic with chocolates. All she could do was vaguely reply, “It’s a long story. L–Let’s eat first.”

The nurses usually had a good relationship with her. Seeing her reaction, they assumed she was feeling shy and decided not to press her further.

After lunch, everyone went back to their own tasks. Blaine, eyeing the humble dining table and the courtyard filled with sand and gravel, expressed his regret. He sighed and said, “I wish I had known earlier that you were coming, Mr. Guerra. Our preparations were rushed, and we couldn’t provide anything decent.”

When Lysander saw that he was still blaming himself for the inadequate hospitality, she couldn’t bear to see him continue to dwell on the matter. So, she compassionately proposed a solution.

“Actually, you don’t really need to go out of your way to entertain him. As you said, he’s from the city and financially well–off, so he likely doesn’t lack food or clothing. However, no matter how good the city is, there are things he can’t experience there. Don’t you know that many city folks love to spend money on farmhouses to experience life differently?” she said.

“It does seem so,” Blaine agreed. He had always admired Lysander for being a doctor at a major hospital, knowledgeable and capable. Her words always carried weight, and he found himself even more easily persuaded by hearing her speak then.

Josiah listened to the conversation that involved him, yet he didn’t interrupt. He simply watched Lysander chatting with Blaine, a smile gracing his face.

The afternoon sun was warm and comforting. Just sitting in the yard, soaking up the sun, was enough to lift one’s spirits, let alone when he was with the person he cherished.

Lysander continued to progressively provide Blaine with ideas.

“Someone like him has surely never experienced the taste of wild vegetables. If you truly wish to entertain him, prepare your usual dishes. Dishes like crispbread and wild vegetable salad are definitely dishes he has never tried before.”

Blaine listened, nodding enthusiastically, and rose from his seat in delight, saying, “Absolutely! Sure! We might not have much else here, but we’re certainly not short on wild vegetables!”

Before Blaine left, he made sure to say to Josiah, “Mr. Guerra, rest assured, if you’re interested in trying something new, I’ll get the village kids to start foraging for wild vegetables. I guarantee we’ll gather every variety available around here.”

Indeed, Josiah had never eaten wild vegetables before. Upon hearing this, he sincerely expressed his gratitude, saying, “You don’t need to prepare too much. I won’t be able to eat a lot.”

“We must! Targan!”
