His Beloved Ex-Wife (Lysander) novel Chapter 733

Josiah clearly didn't mean that, but since he couldn't take back his words, he had to add to them.

“Actually, I hadn't finished my sentence. Cats just don't need you to always be with them. But aside from essentials like cat food and litter, they also need affection.”

As he spoke, he picked up the Ragdoll kitten and scratched its chin.

The cat's blue eyes reflected Lysander's face. It adapted to the situation and jumped back into Lysander's arms. Seeing this, Josiah decided he would give it an extra treat of fish snacks today.

“By the way, do you remember what you promised me before?” Josiah seized the opportunity to remind Lysander of an old promise. “When we were at the church, you promised me you'd name it when we got back.”

A name would create a bond.

Josiah wanted to keep her around, even if it was just under the pretense of jointly raising a pet.

This was somewhat similar to how some divorced couples rekindle their relationship because of the child they share. Even sporadic visits are enough to foster their feelings more quickly than those who meet by chance.

Unfortunately, he missed that opportunity when it was handed to him and had to find another way.

Lysander didn't think much of it. She looked at the Ragdoll cat and found it difficult to name. When she casually agreed to Josiah's request, she assumed that Susan had already named it. She didn't expect the task to still be pending after so long.

“How about... Meowz?”

“Isn't that a bit too casual?”

Then you name it.”

“The name you gave White Coat was unique and recognizable. Why do you treat cats and dogs differently?”

Lysander asked, “How about Stethoscope?”

Josiah was speechless.

“Blood Pressure Monitor?” Lysander pondered. “It can't be called Scalpel or Hemostat, right?”

Josiah felt like he was seeing her naming skills for the first time. He looked at the cat, then at her, and finally decided to settle. “Meowz it is. A common name is easier to raise. Meowz, good kitty.”

He tried calling the Ragdoll kitten.

Previously, the Ragdoll kitten, who was adorably soft and particularly good at acting cute, completely ignored him. With a flick of its fluffy tail, it suddenly exuded the demeanor of a regally aloof feline.

Before Josiah could say anything, Lysander understood and said, “I think it doesn't seem to like this name very much.”

Seeing that she was genuinely troubled, Josiah was more than happy to participate. In his mind, it was best to give the Ragdoll kitten a name that both of them had contributed to.

“I survived a major disaster this time. How about we commemorate it and call it Lyfe? Also, your job involves bringing new life into the world, representing the continuity of life.”

His naming skills weren't much better than Lysander's.

Lysander stroked the Ragdoll cat's back, looking thoughtfully at its cream-colored tail, and shared her idea.

“How about Peanut? When you first brought it, I thought it was pure white. But now that it's grown, its ears and tail fur resemble the color of peanut shells. Lucky peanuts, right? Don't people hope for good things to happen?”

She had once seen a peanut charm on Michelle's keys and asked about its meaning. Michelle replied, “Lysander, don't you know the word 'lucky peanut'? It symbolizes lucky.”

Lysander wasn't one to believe in such things. During her student days, while her female classmates were obsessed with angsty romance literature, she was determined to get into medical school. Later, when her classmates got married and had children, she started medical school and missed out on youthful dreams.
