The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Lysander 

Laura was a bit taken aback. “Isn’t Zach a year older than Lysander? That would make him nine years older than Michelle. Isn’t that quite an age gap?” 

Camila hinted with a knowing smile. “Who knows? Maybe he’s been single all these years just waiting for her to grow up. Come on, let’s go in. Zachary, stop talking and quickly escort Mrs. Thorne and the two missy to 

their seats.” 

Originally, Zachary was at the back, engaged in conversation with Maverick. It seemed he hadn’t heard the conversation between the two older women up front. Upon hearing their words, he nodded at Maverick and quickly walked over. He pulled out a chair. “Mrs. Thorne, please sit.” 

Laura felt a bit uneasy. “Ah, okay, thanks, Zach.” 

“No worries, it’s only right. Lysander, please have a seat.” 

Lysander smoothly took a seat beside her mother. 

When it was Michelle’s turn, she was still engrossed in her phone conversation. Zachary had to call her several times before she heard him. She sauntered over, taking her own sweet time. 

Upon seeing her younger daughter’s behavior, Laura frowned, bending down to speak with Lysander. “Lysa, did I misunderstand what Camila just said? I fear I might be overthinking.” 

Lysander said, “You’re not overthinking it. 

“Does Zach really take a liking to your sister? I don’t mean to be rude, but look at her, always grinning foolishly at her phone all day. I can’t understand what he sees in her.” 

On the matter, Lysander chose to remain silent. 

However, she sneakily glanced at Zachary. It seemed like he was also looking in her direction. Sensing her gaze, he suddenly blushed slightly, then awkwardly lowered his head, pretending to look at the menu. 

Was he pecking at Michelle? Suddenly, Lysander felt a sense of serendipity washing over her. 

Zachary had spent his childhood dining at Lysander’s home and had essentially grown up alongside Michelle.. Also, Michelle’s early romantic escapades, something she hadn’t even confessed to Lysander, were crystal clear to Zachary. It was evident that they had been in contact privately and were quite familiar with each 

other. 

No wonder Zachary had been so attentive to my parents these past few days, and had been quite nice to myself as well. To think he has his sights set on Michelle, thought Lysander. 

“Actually, Zach is quite a catch. He’s got a stable job in a state–owned enterprise, is full of vitality, and I’ve watched him grow up since he was a child. His character is impeccable. Compared to that married physics teacher with a child, at least Zach is young and has never been married,” said Laura. 

As Lysander listened to her mother’s continuous chatter, she asked, “Mom, does this mean you agree?” 

“What do you mean, agreed? Nothing’s set in stone yet. Remember how quickly I agreed to your marriage? Look where that got you. Your sister isn’t as sharp as you. I need to think long and hard about this silly girl’s marriage.”
