His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 428 Is She Also Your Woman "I've already told you, please stop pestering Zachary so much," Lysander chided her sister.

"But Zachary himself mentioned that he had sfree ttoday and had to run a few errands in that part of town anyway. It actually works out perfectly, being right on his way," Michelle countered.

Lysander's response was tinged with urgency. "I've repeatedly told you not to get involved with him..... Michelle, can you please just listen to me?" "Did things end that badly with Zachary? Why do you seem so eager to avoid him?" "Just stop questioning me." Lysander insisted. "Do what you're told, okay? I'm going to pick up Mom this afternoon. Stay at hand behave yourself, all right?" "All right, I get it." It was only after she had ended the call that Zachary let out a chuckle. "Are you really that frightened of me?" Lysander did not offer him a welcoming look. "If you've finished what you had to say, then please leave." "I'm on my way out, but you might want to consider trying a little harder. After all, Josiah is a man who once had genuine feelings for you. If things get desperate... you might have to make ssacrifices. You know, with most men, as long as their physical needs are met, all other matters can usually be negotiated...” Lysander glared at him furiously. "You must really have been born the wrong gender. If you were a woman, I imagine you'd be using your body to barter for all kinds of favors." "You should count yourself fortunate," he retorted. "If Josiah wasn't straight, I might actually find him quite appealing." Lysander responded with scorn, "Well then, I wish you bright future." With a dismissive gesture, she turned her back, neatly sidestepped him, and strode away with determination. Zachary's voice followed her retreat, resonating through the air, "I'll be eagerly awaiting your good news." Later that afternoon, Lysander caught a taxi and journeyed to the bus station to collect her mother, Laura. When Laura appeared, it was evident she was far from fine; the redness in her eyes was a silent testament to tears recently shed, likely a result of her less-than-ideal visit back to her hometown.

Laura confessed, "Your eldest uncle is planning on constructing a hbut finds himself short of the necessary funds; your second uncle's daughter is preparing for marriage, needing a sizable dowry, leaving him strapped for cash too. And your aunt, she's not faring well either, so I found it too difficult to broach the subject with her." Embracing her mother warmly, Lysander consoled her, “Let's not lose heart, we'll tackle these issue's one at a time. We still have a few days left; I'll figure something out." Laura asked, "By the way, Lysa, you're close to Daphne, aren't you? Maybe you could inquire if she could..." 1/4 22:57 Mon, 3 Jun Chapter 428 Is She Also Your Woman myriad problems, the Everharts were not in a position to assist.

"I'll look into it, but lettake you hfirst," Lysander reassured her, feeling the weight of the numerous complications that seemed to converge upon her return to her homeland.

After ensuring her mother was settled at hand sternly advising them against contacting Zachary, Lysander made her way directly to Guerra Group's towering office building.

Zachary's earlier words rang true-being marked by someone of his character was a recipe for ceaseless trouble. Zachary had made it clear he was not one to relent until his goals were achieved.

Upon her arrival at the Guerra Group building, Lysander was met with the news from a receptionist that Josiah was not present.

Has he gone shopping with his new girlfriend again? Without Tiffany's contact details, Lysander had no option but to turn to Zane for assistance.

The atmosphere around Zane was distinctly chaotic; the faint sound of billiard balls clashing was audible in the background.

"Sounds like you're at a billiard lounge?" Lysander guessed.

Zane responded with a nonchalant hum, “Seems like Josiah has reignited his interest in pool. He was here just the other day, and now he's back.” "Still hanging out with the usual crowd?" Lysander probed.

Zane exhaled sharply.

"What's wrong? "It's complicated," he replied cryptically, "You'll see what I mean when you get here." Hearing this, Lysander surmised the situation'must've been complicated..

Despite being somewhat prepared, Lysander was still surprised upon her arrival at the billiard lounge. Previously, the clientele had been predominantly male except for one female college student. This time, however, the scene was quite different-all the patrons were women.

Among them, 'Lysander immediately recognized one-a woman with vibrant red lips and luxuriantly wavy hair, whom she had seen with Josiah in Skywatch under the moonlight. She sat casually next to Josiah, holding his blazer and a cigarette with practiced ease, the smoke swirling around her.

As Josiah took his shot, standing back to survey the table, Lysander noted his right wrist appeared swollen compared to his left.

Not far from this scene, Lysanne and Tiffany were deep in conversation, surrounded by several unfamiliar faces.

What exactly is happening here! Zane, suddenly appearing, whispered, "Lysander! You got here quickly; I thought I'd have to wait longer." 2/4 22:57 Mon, 3 Jun Chapter 428 is She Also Your Woman Lysander, still perplexed by the scene, questioned, "These women... they all relate to Josiah somehow?" Zane ran his fingers through his hair, his expression perplexed. “I'm not sure what Josiah's plan is, but it seems these women aren't bothered by each other's presence. It's not our place to comment, really." "What about Tiffany and Lysanne? Do they not mind?" Lysander queried.

Zane chuckled, "What can Lysanne do? She just has to put up with whatever Josiah decides. As for Tiffany..." He trailed off as he felt a piercing gaze on him.

"Zane." "Did you call me, Josiah?” Zane hurried over to him after shooting Lysander a look. “What's wrong?" Josiah glanced at Lysander and frowned. "Why is she here again?" "I-I have no idea." Till is on her period and can't have anything cold. Go get her swarm water from the bar.

"Huh? Oh, right, of course." The lady with red lips and curly hair leaned closer to Josiah and remarked, "Mr. Guerra, you're really thoughtful." Josiah halted her with a raised hand. “What's that smell? It's overwhelming.

"Perfume," she said.

Josiah scowled. "What sort of perfume? It smells strange." The woman leaned in closer, a mischievous sparkle in her eye. "It's called Dawn after Sex." "Foreigners sure are bold when it comes to nares." "They're more open-minded, after all. Here, have a sniff. Doesn't it smell like you've just had sex?" Josiah shook his head irritably. "Stop messing around."

"What's the problem, can't you handle a bit of humor now that you've got a serious girlfriend?" The lady with red lips and curly hair clicked her tongue. "You've switched partners yet again, but it looks like you're still being bossed around, aren't you?” Josiah abruptly extinguished his cigarette by stamping it under his shoe, issuing a stern warning, "She's still young. Watch how you speak." "Feeling a little heartbroken?" The woman probed further, "But why do I get the impression that she isn't truly the one who captures your heart?" Josiah let out a disdainful scoff, That's absolute nonsense."

"Moreover, they claimed you have been deeply in love with your former wife for over two decades. However, from what I've observed, it hardly seemed significant. You scarcely spared her a glance, and it almost appeared as though there was a palpable disdain from you toward her." 3/4 Mon, 3 JUN Chapter 428 Is She Also Your Woman "Indeed. I'm not quite fond of her." 35%

Taking his turn at the pool table once more, Josiah leaned over with practiced ease. With a precise and smooth stroke, he sent the white ball careening toward the edge of the table, where it rebounded and nestled perfectly behind the coffee-colored ball, executing an impeccable snooker. The lady with red lips and curly hair, her eyes twinkling mischievously, turned her gaze toward Lysander who wasn't standing too far off. With an inquisitive tilt of her head, she asked, “Is she another one of your women? Send Gifts
