The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 146
Chapter 146 Not Showing Mercy
Dressed in a black suit, complete with a matching black boutonniere on his chest, it was clear that Josiah had rushed over directly from a funeral.
Upon catching sight of Josiah, Leo immediately ducked behind Howard and Molly.
Then, obediently, he nodded and called out, “Mr. Guerra.”
Josiah didn’t even spare him a glance. He simply greeted Howard and Molly. “Mr. Thorne, Mrs. Thorne.”
Howard felt a pang of guilt. “Josiah, I’m truly sorry. We should have been there for your grandmother’s. funeral today. No one could have predicted that something would come up with Lyss…”
Molly sat in her wheelchair, her heart and eyes filled with worry. She extended her hand toward Josiah. “Josiah..”
Josiah’s gaze rested on Lysander with concern until Molly tugged at his sleeve, bringing him back to the present. “Mr. Thorne, Mrs. Thorne. How did you know something had happened to Lysanne? Was it Leo who brought you here?”
As he spoke, his piercing gaze fell squarely on Leo’s face.
Leo was terrified, his face turning pale. He didn’t dare to make a sound, shrinking his neck and subtly shifting himself further behind the wheelchair.
Molly continued, “Josiah, we know how much you care for Lyss. We trust you to take good care of her. However, after all, Lyss is our child. We should have been informed about it…”
Josiah’s brow was tightly furrowed. It was unclear whether it was due to the lingering sorrow from his grandmother’s funeral or because of the unexpected complications arising from Lysander’s side.
Men tend to be more rational after all. While Molly was solely focused on chatting with Josiah, Howard, on the other hand, remembered the conversation they just had. “Josiah, did you just say the child in Lyss‘ belly isn’t yours?”
Josiah paused, uttering a soft, “Mhm.”
Molly was taken aback. “How could it be? It’s impossible. Your relationship with Lyss is so strong…”
“We-”
Lynn straightforwardly asked, “Madam, didn’t you watch the video online before you came?”
Molly had a baffled look on her face. “I saw it! They said there was a female doctor who wouldn’t leave Josiah alone. Lyss, heavily pregnant, came to confront them…”
“Is that all? Didn’t you check out the rest of the video?”
“There’s more? Leo, is there more to that video?”
Since the time Leo had arrived at Josiah’s banquet, he dared not utter a single word. No matter how much Molly interrogated him, he didn’t dare to speak another word.

Leo’s head dropped even lower, pleading, “Mr. Guerra, it was Lysanne. Lysanne told me to bring Aunt Molly and Uncle Howard over. It isn’t my doing..
Josiah’s frown deepened. “What else did she say?”
Leo remained silent.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
