The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 680

Chapter 680 A Gentle Touch

The following morning, her biological clock almost failed her. It was the sound of Josiah freshening up that roused her from sleep.

After a day of rest, the exhaustion from the day before finally revealed itself. No sooner had she sat up than a wave of fatigue and backache washed over her, as if she’d been run over by a truck.

It’s time I focus on strengthening my body and exercising more.

Upon hearing the noise from outside, Josiah hurriedly emerged from the bathroom, apologizing, “I’m sorry if I woke you. I intended to wake you only after I finished freshening up!

Lysander had slept rather soundly that night, so much so that she almost overslept. Upon hearing his voice, it felt as though she was still in a dream, until the bustling sounds from the nearby street reached her ears.

The next moment, the sound of fireworks, which had become a rarity in the city, began to resonate.

Bewildered, Lysander gazed toward the direction of the curtains, only speaking once the noise had subsided. “Seems like the festival of the deities has started.”

Josiah’s eardrums throbbed with pain. He had never imagined that the festival of the deities was such a grand affair,

As a child, Lysander had visited her hometown with Maverick a few times, gaining some understanding of the local customs. When it was time to leave, she shared a few more insights with Josiah.

“The festival of the deities originally started as a ritual. In my hometown, they would mark its beginning with fireworks, welcoming the deities. The front desk lady mentioned yesterday that the parade should be starting soon.”

Josiah had never seen it before. Initially, he just wanted to spend time with Lysander. But at that moment, he was genuinely intrigued by it.

The two casually grabbed a bag of breadsticks from a breakfast stall near the hotel, then headed together toward the street where the festival of the deities was being held. Along the way, the streets were teeming with tourists, even more bustling than the wholesale mall they had visited the day before.
