Chapter 168 His Thoughts "How long would you have hesitated if I hadn't spoken up? Haven't you learned from your past mistakes? It was your constant indecisiveness that led Lysander to marry that rich man, a match that was clearly unsuitable. Lysander herself hasn't been living well either." "Mom..." "All right, fine, I won't say any more. You can explain it to Maverick and Laura yourself." Zachary was completely flushed, clearly caught off guard by his mother's blunt approach. He was relieved that Lysander wasn't present. Otherwise, he would have wished for a crack in the ground to swallow him up.

As Zachary's face turned beet-red while he stuttered in obvious discomfort, Laura said, “Zach, why don't you go check the kitchen? We've been here for quite a while, yet the food hasn't arrived." Zachary, feeling as if he had received a royal pardon, immediately stood up and said, "I'll go right now." The three younger ones had departed, leaving only the three elders at the table.

mila was sipping her coffee with a cheerful smile, her tone as casual as a breeze on a clear day. "This is flat white. It has a rich and fragrant flavor." The expressions on the faces of the couple, Laura and Maverick, were somewhat unnatural. They responded with a few perfunctory remarks, but their hearts were no longer as joyful as when they first arrived.

As soon as Michelle left the restaurant, she hailed a taxi.

Before she could get into the taxi, Lysander caught up with her. "Do you have enough money on you? Both of you aren't working right now, so your financial situation is tight. You can't always let Calvin foot the bill." Immediately, Michelle shook her head vehemently. "Lysander..." "All right, I got it." "Thanks, Lysander!" Watching her sister hastily depart in a taxi, Lysander could only shake her head in amusement and helplessness before transferring a thousand to her.

Upon turning around, she spotted a familiar face.

"Zachary? Why are you out here too?".

Zachary's smile carried a hint of awkwardness as he replied, “The elders have their own topics to talk about. With a youngster likearound, they won't be able to speak freely." Lysander gave a nod.

"Are you feeling better now?" "Yeah, much better." "Are you in a hurry to get back? If not, letaccompany you for a stroll." Chapter 168 His Thoughts Lysander understood immediately, teasing him with a laugh, "Elderly folks pressuring you to marry can indeed be quite bothersome. Mdm. Camila hasn't let up on you these past few years, has she?" "No, she hasn't..." "Regardless, you're aware of Michelle's situation. She's a young girl experiencing her first love. I'm afraid nothing can pull her back here, so you'll have to give up on her becoming a daughter-in-law to your family." Zachary awkwardly rubbed his hands. "I know. I'm well aware of her situation. That guy is really quite decent. They make a good pair." "From what I can see now, they do seem quite compatible. However, I'll need to look into his family background later. I used to think the concept of a couple being well-matched in status was old-fashioned, but reflecting on my personal experience, there's actually struth to it." Almost instantly, Zachary asked, “You also think it's pretty good when couples are from similar backgrounds. right?" Lysander nodded. "At least if a couple have similar experiences growing up and share the svalues, they might have more common topics to talk about, unlike what happened to me. All I can say is, people from. different social classes shouldn't force a connection." Zachary cracked a small smile, a hint of embarrassment creeping in as he scratched his head. "True, you make a valid point." "Zachary." "Hmmm?"

"I've been neglecting my responsibilities to my family these past few years, sokmuly grateful to you for taking Michelle to cram school. I won't forget this favor. If you ever need anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask me.” Zachary took in her earnest expression and couldn't help but laugh in resignation. "Do you really think the person I like is Michelle?" "Isn't that so?"

"Michelle is nine years younger than pose me. Even if I had loose morals, Im dn't entertain the idea of pursuing an underage girl. What kind of person do you takefor?" "Then..." "I simply see her as a little sister who needs care and protection." Lysander was confused. "Then what about what Mdm. Camila just said to my parents? She mentioned that you've been waiting all these years..."

She suddenly halted, a bit stunned, before her gaze turned incredulous. This disbelief quickly morphed into suspicion, and finally, she was left in a state of hesitant confusion. "Watch out-" Crash! The sound of shattering glass exploded by their fee X
