His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Two Edge Sword

Lysander simply flashed a subtle smile.

Good friend.

These words were once a thorn in her heart, but now they had become a double–edged sword aimed at Josiah.

Zachary was still explaining, “We’ve known each other for over twenty years and grew up together. We went to the same school, from elementary to high school. When she was deciding her college major, I was the one who helped her choose medicine.”

The expression on Josiah’s face couldn’t be any gloomier.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lysander said, “Mr. Guerra is planning to buy our neighborhood’s land to develop it into an amusement park, hence his visit to survey the area.”

Zachary suddenly understood. “Oh, so that’s what it was, I initially thought it was…”

Josiah expression drastically changed. “What did you think it was?”

“Nothing, it’s nothing. As soon as I got home, my mom mentioned that our neighborhood is scheduled for demolition. Turns out, it’s actually driven by Mr. Guerra. That’s quite a coincidence.”

Lysander spoke softly. “Mr. Guerra mentioned that he plans to build a house within Harborbrook for us to be resettled. That would solve our housing problem in the future.”

Zachary was somewhat taken aback. “Really? That’s fantastic! My mom was just worrying about having to rent a house. Oh, Lysander, should our families choose the same floor and continue being

neighbors? Our parents could keep visiting each other.”

Lysander chuckled and said, “All you want is to come over to my house for a free meal, just like when we were kids.”

“Haha, Mrs. Thorne’s cooking is just irresistible. I can chip in for the groceries and even lend a hand in the kitchen.”

“Don’t worry about the meal expenses. My mom always thought she was an exceptional cook, but sadly, both Michelle and I barely eat at home. And you know how my dad is, he never says anything complimentary. But you, on the other hand, always have a creative way to praise her cooking. Not only that, you’d even take leftovers home. She would love it if you visited every day.”

Zachary felt a bit embarrassed. “Don’t air my dirty laundry in front of others, alright? Can you at least save. me some dignity…”

“Alright, alright, now that you’re here, don’t leave. When I just came down from upstairs, my mom mentioned she was about to cook. Want to join us for a meal?”

“Um…” Zachary, rubbing his hands together with a sly grin, asked, “Is it really okay?”

“Of course. Once you’re done eating, pack some food for Mdm. Camila as well. That way, she won’t have to cook dinner.”

Zachary broke into a wide smile, his eyes sparkling. “That’s fantastic,” he said. “My mom has never liked cooking, and I’m sick to death of instant noodles.”

Chapter 188 Two Edge Sword

“If she ever gets tired of cooking in the future, she’s always welcome to come over to my place for meals. It’s just my parents at home, and they’d enjoy the company.”

“Well, I won’t be a stranger then.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Lysander looked at Josiah and said, “Mr. Guerra, we’ll be taking our leave now. When I’m free, I’ll give you a

treat.”

After speaking, they took Zachary’s hand and headed toward the entrance of the building.

As they weren’t walking fast, Zachary’s voice could still be faintly heard.

“Lysander, isn’t today Mr. Guerra’s engagement party? Instead of accompanying his bride–to–be, he’s out here looking at property? Talk about dedication.”

Lysander just gave a slight smile, calmly stating. “As long as the bride isn’t upset, that’s all that matters.”

“True. This is their business. It’s not our place to worry.”

“Mmm–hmm.”

“You know what’s strange. I’ve never seen a divorced couple getting along as well as you two do. Chatting and laughing together, just like good friends.”

“Don’t use the term good friends anymore in the future.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why?”

“There could easily be a misunderstanding.”

“What could possibly be misunderstood here?”

“Anyway, just don’t say it.”

“Oh, so how should I describe our relationship if someone asks in the future?”

Lysander paused for a moment, then said something.

However, Josiah didn’t hear clearly.

By the time she had started speaking, the two of them had already entered the apartment building. Their voices were completely enclosed within the concrete structure, no longer distinguishable.
