Chapter 205 The Friends Of Zachary
Upon departing. Lysander was filled with a sense of regret. She realized that she could have handed over the materials directly to Lynn on her Monday workday, rather than rushing to deliver them today only to have her mood ruined.
Zachary, on the other hand, did not take it to heart. “It’s just a coincidence. What can we do about it?”
Lysander felt a slight pang of guilt in her heart. “Who knows what got into him.”
“No worries.” Zachary chuckled lightly. “I’ve seen his current girlfriend once. To be honest, she’s not as pretty as you, nor does she have a good personality. Comparison is a thief of joy, so it’s quite understandable if he regrets it.”
Lysander said indifferently. “Sorry for dragging you into this.”
“Lysander, actually, I’m pretty happy.”
“Why?”
“You’re so good that even Josiah likes you. But you chose me. Does this mean that in some way I am better than him?”
“He doesn’t like me. He’s just not willing to give up.”
Zachary’s hand, resting on the steering wheel, twitched slightly.
He could still feel the soft and smooth sensation of her hand in his palm.
Upon arriving at Harborbrook University, Zachary parked the car in the parking lot and then the two of them walked toward the basketball court together.
From a distance, they saw three or four people looking this way. “Zachary!”
Zachary also waved back in response. As his hand fell, he carefully brushed it against the back of her hand and asked softly, “May I?”
Lysander gently nodded her head.
Zachary seemed a bit nervous, his palms slightly damp. However, his hands were wide and sturdy, his hold tender. He delicately held her hand as if cradling it and refrained from gripping too firmly, cautious not to cause any discomfort.
Upon getting closer, they immediately heard a group of boys making strange noises.
Zachary was embarrassed by his friends‘ playful jibes. He scolded, “Stop messing around. Didn’t we say we were going to play ball? Where’s the ball?”
“Hahaha, don’t just focus on playing ball. Aren’t you going to introduce us to this beautiful lady here?”
Zachary licked his lips, turned his head to look at Lysander, and said softly. “This is Lysander, my… my girlfriend.”
“Yeah. This is Hugo, this is Jett, that one is Diablo, and the one sitting on the ground, is Rafiki. These guys are all my buddies. We’ve been friends for over a decade.”

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....
