The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 198
Chapter 198 I Would Choose Her
Lysander’s eyes flickered. “What?”
In the palm of Zachary’s hand rested a band–aid.
“When I came back earlier, I noticed that you seemed to have hurt your fingertip. So, I went to my mom and got a bandage for you.”
Lysander’s hand, hanging by her side, twitched slightly. Her fingers clenched and then unfurled.
Indeed, her fingers were injured, but she had been concealing it well, intending to tend to it once she returned to her place. Unexpectedly, Zachary had noticed it.
“Thank you.
“Lysander, you really don’t need to always thank me.”
Zachary,”
“Hmm?”
“Do you like me?”
Zachary was clearly taken aback by her straightforwardness, somewhat at a loss for words. “No, it’s not like that. L…”
“You don’t like me?”
“No, no, no. I do like you.” Zachary was at a loss for words to describe his current emotions. In the end, he could only muster up the courage, his face turning red as he said, “Lysander, I… I’ve liked you for a long time
now.”
Ding!
“The elevator has arrived.”
Lysanne was the first to step into the elevator. Seeing him unmoving, she called out, “Zachary?”
“Ah.”
“Come in.”
“Oh, right.”
Zachary approached her, yet he still maintained a certain distance from her. The sudden conversation earlier had left him somewhat at a loss.
“Zachary, if I hadn’t returned this time, were you planning on staying silent?”
Given the circumstances, Zachary, being a man, mustered up the courage to speak. “I had actually thought about telling you, but you got married so quickly. I just had to… keep it to myself.”
With a bitter smile, Zachary lowered his gaze to his own shoe tips.
Chapter 198 | Would Choose Her
at would you have done if I hadn’t gotten divorced, if I hadn’t returned to my hometown, and if we never had the chance to meet again?”
Zachary pondered seriously for a moment before speaking “Lysander,” he said, “I don’t want to feed you emper platitudes. If your married life is filled with happiness and contentment, if I see that you’re doing well, then I wall wish you well. And then, I will slowly try to forget you.”
“And then?”
“Perhaps I might find a suitable girl to court marry, and have children with. We’re all just ordinary people, living not just for ourselves but also for our parents and loved ones, who place great hopes in us. Eventually, I, soo, would follow the path that everyone else chooses.”
“Will you treat her well?”
Absolutely, Zachary said. “If she’s a good girl, I’ll treat her well for the rest of my life.”
What if just hypothetically, you were already married, but then I came back and wanted to be with you? How would you choose?”
This question instantly stumped Zachary.
His expression was one of great discomfort. “No way, you’re already married, and you’ve never been fond of
me
“So, let’s say hypothetically. I came back and confessed my feelings for you, telling you I want to be with you. Who would you choose? Your wife or me?”

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....
