The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263 His True Face

“The journey to buy you roasted potatoes is indeed a bit far, but it’s not considered aimless wandering- If you like, I can set up a stall for the seller near the hospital.”

“What is this? Are you throwing money at me?”

“Can money sway you?”

“I’m afraid not.”

Josiah shrugged. “I guess so. You’re too rational and too clear-headed. Money can’t sway you, so sincerity is the only way.”

He said, “Actually, the appearance of Zachary is not entirely bad, for he has allowed me to understand more about you.”

Lysander shook her head. “If I had been truly rational and clear-headed, I should have demanded at large sum from you during our divorce. Back then, you were so eager to be with Lysanne, I bet you would have been willing to give me whatever I asked for.”

“Lysanne again? And you said you didn’t care?”

“She almost ruined my job, so I hate her. Is there a problem?”

Josiah obediently nodded. “No problem.”

While we were talking, the car had already gone far.

Lysander also knew that it was probably not very likely for him to turn back now.

The current Josiah was not the easy-going Josiah from before. He was more shrewd than ever- speaking and arguing, proficient in all aspects.

“You’re quite eloquent.” Lysander sincerely said, “I really didn’t see it before.”

Josiah laughed. “You’re not bad either.”

“Where exactly are we going?”

“You’ve been working too hard these past few days. Close your eyes and take a nap. I’ll call you when it’s

time.”

“Is it far?”

“It’s a bit far.”

Lysander picked up the phone and unlocked her phone.

Josiah asked, “Are you applying for a leave?”

“No. I’m calling the police to arrest vou.”

After hanging up the phone, Lysander closed her eyes and pretended to sleep in her seat.

Josiah seemed to have overheard her conversation. “Are you going abroad?”

She didn’t move and merely hummed in response.

“Which country to go to? When will you leave? How long for?”

“Are you doing a census survey? Does this have anything to do with you?”

Josiah did not get mad. Instead, he said, “Lysander, I suddenly feel that the way we are now is quite good.”

“Do you like being scolded?”

“We confront each other in our true selves. If you are dissatisfied with me, ust let out directly.. criticize me, scold me. It’s much better than the previous pretense of politeness, yet impervious to

reason.”

Lysander kept her eyes closed. “That’s quite grand.”

Josiah chuckled. “I have a way with words.”
