The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Not So Fragile

“Thank you, Josiah,” Nilou began, her voice filled with genuine gratitude. She continued thoughtfully. “But- there’s really no need, Rhizone and I know these roads well. We can just run over there. It’ll be a great chance for us to guide you, and you can follow us in your car when the time comes.”

Rhizone nodded in agreement with his sister. As they spoke, they both nervously clutched at their clothes.

Children in the village grew up fast, often outgrowing their clothes quickly. That was why many people in the village chose to buy clothes a size larger, so their children could grow into them and wear them longer.

This was the case for Nilou and Rhizone. Their clothes were faded almost to whiteness from many washes, with sleeves and pant legs that hung loose, clearly worn for growth. Their shoes bore the marks of their adventurous lives, covered in dust from the sandy paths they frequented.

It wasn’t that they preferred to lead the way by running. It seemed they were more concerned about possibly dirtying Josiah’s car with their worn clothes and dusty shoes.

Witnessing this, a surge of compassion washed over Lysander as she bent down to adjust the sleeves and pant cuffs of the children. She then reassured them with a gentle voice, “It’s all right, today I’m taking care of everything. Hurry up and get in the car, or it’ll be awkward when we come to visit your home.”

Hearing this, Nilou’s voice carried a note of concern, “Dr. Thorne, if we end up making a mess in the car, will we have to pay for it?”

Josiah reassured her with a chuckle, “I doubt you two could cause any harm.”

Nilou still looked worried. “But it wouldn’t be good if we made it dirty, right?”

“Don’t worry about it. If it gets dirty, we can always wash it.” Josiah replied soothingly.

“Does it cost money to wash the car?”

“It doesn’t.”
