His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 701 Pursuing Her Again Lysander nodded. “You speak first.” Finished Whether she agreed or not still depended on how reasonable his demands were. If he tried to push his luck, she naturally couldn't give in.

Josiah simply said, "Take the child and move back home. I'll be worried otherwise." He was referring to the Guerra family's old house.

For Lysander, the Guerra family's old house was a familiar place.

Now, the plan was for her to return hwith Nilou, Rhizone, and Nieva's baby. This was primarily to ensure her safety.

Even if Dillon truly harbored ill intentions, he would certainly not dare to do anything if they were at the Guerra family's old house.

Josiah was worried that Lysander would refuse, so he added, "I can stay in the guest room, and you and the baby can have the master bedroom upstairs. Oh, and you can visit Mr. Thorne and Mrs. Thorne whenever you want. They miss you a lot." He had planned everything meticulously.

Without any reason to refuse, Lysander agreed, "Okay." Reading the room, Archer immediately arranged for a driver to transport the items from their car back to the Thorne manor.

Josiah still felt disappointed. However, considering this rapid progress, he continued to strategize.

A phone call cthrough.

Tiffany didn't ask Dillon to intervene any longer. Instead, she personally called Josiah.

He didn't want to answer, but recalling the promise he had made, he still picked up the phone. Josiah did not speak first.

1/5 Tiffany wanted till she could no longer bear the silence. “Jose, are you still angry?" Josiah asked calmly. "Is your father feeling better now?" Feigning sincerity was far from his forte. To ensure the act wouldn't fall apart too soon, he knew that he might make mistakes if he spoke too much. Hence, he tried his best to keep things concise and clear.

Tiffany had already returned home. Seeing Dillon busy calling his subordinates and instructing them to place the blon sthugs, she realized she couldn't rely on him. So, she took the initiative and reached out to Josiah herself.

She was ready to risk it all in hopes of saving Dillon.

"Much better. Jose, I want to apologize on behalf of my father. My apology extends also to the villagers. So, could you meettonight at the private restaurant you tookto before? We can eat and chat there." This was one of the few places where they had shared memories.

Tiffany knew the ways of the world well, yet managed to maintain an air of innocent naivety. Josiah was clearly irritated by this. "Just say whatever you have to say over the phone." Lysander gently tapped him when he said that.

His brows furrowed instantly.

He understood what she meant.

Now that he was asked out for a meal, it was the perfect opportunity to charm Tiffany with his handsomeness.

Tiffany suggested, "It's quite crowded on your side. There are sthings that aren't suitable to be discussed in public. Why don't we head to the private restaurant? It's more private there. Whatever you want to know, I'll have my father tell you everything. Is that okay?" Josiah glanced at Lysander again, noting her intense gaze. He agreed through gritted teeth, “Fine, I'll see you tonight then." 2/5 FARE OF If he wanted a cwin resolution, this was indeed a golden opportunity. He chose to o with the flow Furthermore, based on the implications in Tiffany's words, it seemed that Dillon would also be attending. With the presence of a third person, he felt slightly more at ease.

prese The day seemed to fly by Josiah juggled between caring for the baby and catching up on sbacklog at the office. Meanwhile, Lysander took Nilou and Rhizone to the nearby mall, picking up new clothes and household essentials.

By the tthey had finished all these tasks, it was already tto meet Dillon and Tiffany Lysander saw the look of sorrow and indignation on Josiah's face, as if he was being led to his execution. She couldn't help but say, "You can't go like this. The moment you show up, it will be clear that you've cprepared. Tiffany is so vigilant. No matter how you look, she might still suspect you." Charming her using Josiah's handsomeness might sound like a simple plan. However, when it cto the moment of execution, it might prove to be quite challenging.

Josiah suggested to Lysander, "Why don't you cwith me? Having you by my side as my anchor, I'll be more confident in handling this act." After much difficulty, he was finally able to sit down and have a peaceful meal and conversation with Lysander. He really didn't want any more misunderstandings- not even the slightest bit.

Without a second thought, Lysander rejected the idea, "If you were to bringalong, Dillon and Tiffany would surely keep their mouths shut tight." Josiah replied confidently, "Otherwise, I can bring a camera and record everything for you in real time." Without anyone else needing to remind him, he was in a hurry to prove his abstinence.

Upholding this virtue was what he was supposed to do.

Josiah was a man of action. He was about to make a call to arrange for the 3/5 quod in its crit Maah, takewith you. I Pluse ten villains start spouting tadiene idea. There te mart and quick-witted.

Niloy was a schide child. After sitting in the car with Lysander twice, she quickly learned how to med how to open and eT close the car door. The only tshe seemed a bit unway was when she saw the private restaurant, which was decorated to seem like a garden.

Josiah patted her head gently and comforted her, "Just stay by my side. Don't worry about anything else." As he gazed at Nilou, he couldn't help but imagine what his and Lysander's daughter might have looked like.

Had none of that happened, in ten years' time, he could be holding hands with a daughter Nilou's age and going out for dinner as a family.

"Thank you, Josiah." Nilou was not only sweet with her words, but also sharp in her observations. She asked, "Josiah ProThorne and you aren't really husband and wife, right? I've always felt that you two seem familiar, yet overly polite with each other. It's odd." Back in the village, Josiah and Lysander didn't bother to clear up the misunderstanding to avoid any trouble. However, they didn't admit to it either.

Josiah gave a bitter-sweet smile. “I didn't expect you to figure it out. Dr. Thorne and I... We were once married. We're divorced now, but it's okay. I'm trying to win her back." Nilou had cto understand the meaning of divorce. She thoughtfully nodded.

Dillon and Tiffany took their meeting that night very seriously. In order to exploit their past relationship with Josiah, they even chose the sJosiah, t E private room as before.
