Chapter 217 Play A Round With Me
Lysander involuntarily looked toward the crowd not far away.
Lynn’s just going to call someone, so why isn’t she back yet?
“You can stop looking. She already left.”
Adrian took out the balls from the pockets one by one wearily, placed them back on the table, and aligned them with the rack.
“Your girlfriend?”
Adrian explained, “An actress.”
Lysander was still stunned. “That’s pretty impressive. Has she been in any TV shows?”
Adrian glanced at her, laughed resignedly, and said, “Forget it.”
Lysander frowned. “I really don’t understand what you’re saying. What exactly are you trying to say? Just tell me directly.”
Adrian handed her a cue stick on the side. “Play a round with me.”
“I don’t know how.”
Think of this as giving me closure to let go of my obsession.”
Lysander finally understood a bit.
He shoved the cue into her hand, murmuring, “Being an architectural designer isn’t bad, but this industry values experience. Your boyfriend is too young and lacks background, connections, and successful projects. Rashly jumping to a private company now may not necessarily be a good thing.”
Lysander suddenly felt like she was being watched.
Adrian reassured, “You don’t need to be afraid. I bear no ill will. I just really want to understand the kind of person I lost to. I won’t investigate him anymore in the future, so you can rest assured.”
Holding the cue, Lysander also felt a bit down. “I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me, you were firm in rejecting me from the very beginning, not giving me any hope at all. Actually, adults understand what you mean. It’s just that I couldn’t accept it. I thought I still had time to re–enter your heart after you divorced Josiah. I didn’t expect everything to change after you went home once.”
“Didn’t Lynn just teach you a moment ago?”

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....
