The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Not Suitable In Adulthood 

Leo questioned, “Josiah, what’s really going on with you? Didn’t you marry Dr. Thorne just because her name sounded like Lysanne’s, using her as a stand–in? Now that my real sister is back, why are you still so protective of her?” 

“Shut up!” barked Josiah. 

“Josiah- 

“Don’t call me like I’m your buddy. I never was, and I never will be.” What Josiah said was rather harsh. 

Is he preparing 

to sever ties with Lysanne? Upon hearing those words, Lynn was slightly taken aback, stealing a subtle glance at Lysander. 

Adrian was casually leaning back, arms crossed, looking as if he was merely a spectator at a play. 

The Sutton and Guerra families were among the most reputable households in Harborbrook. Even though Adrian had been overseas and didn’t have a personal relationship with Josiah, he was probably aware of the various rumors circulating within each family, 

At the very least, there was his younger brother, the charming playboy, Aiden. 

During the years Adrian spent out of the country, Aiden treated Josiah as if he were his older brother. Also, no one understood the complex emotions between Josiah and Lysander better than Aiden. 

All Adrian had to do was ask Aiden about the ins and outs of the situation and he would know everything. 

Howard was the first to become anxious. “Josiah, what do you mean by that? You and Lyss…” 

Josiah said, “Mr. Thorne, a lot has happened recently… It made me rethink many things. The feelings we had in our youth may not be suitable for us in adulthood. We have changed so much over the years, and we are no longer the children we used to be.” 

“I can understand, really. The child Lyss is carrying isn’t yours. As a man, that’s understandably hard to accept.” 

“Mr. Thorne, the child isn’t the main issue.“. 

“Why is that?” 

“It’s because she was responsible for the death of Old Mrs. Guerra!” Adrian took a deep breath, speaking softly. “When Old Mrs. Guerra was on her last breath, giving her final words, Ms. Lysanne caused a commotion in the ward, leading to Old Mrs. Guerra’s resentful demise.” 

Howard and Molly were taken aback. “What?” 

“The whole hospital was buzzing with this incident, and there were quite a few who had witnessed it firsthand.” 

Howard still found it hard to believe, so he turned to look at Leo instead.

Howard still found it hard to believe, so he turned to look at Leo instead. 

Leo dared not speak, his head lowered to avoid Howard’s gaze. Yet, his silence was his tacit acknowledgement. 

Molly was completely stunned, rooted to the spot. “Oh my goodness…” 

“It’s not just that. Lynn finally had a chance to speak, and she let it all out, venting her frustration. “I guess you two haven’t seen the second half of that video. The child Ms. Lysanne was carrying has brown skin! Her child isn’t even of Aplothian descent, much less Mr. Guerra’s child! Earlier, Leo kept insisting that the child was Mr. Guerra’s. Hahaha, if this child is born, that would be the biggest joke ever. Mr. Guerra’s son being a dark–skinned child would make Mr. Guerra the laughingstock of the entire Harborbrook!” 

Howard exclaimed in surprise, “Dark–skinned?”
