Chapter 221 Do You Not Know Why She Avoided You
After ending the call, Lysander immediately kept her phone in her bag.
“It’s getting late, Dr. Sutton, I should head back.”
Only a few balls were left on the pool table.
Zachary had already lined up his shot, poised to strike the ball.
He straightened up and asked, “Are you in a hurry? Why not wait for me to finish this game with Dr. Sutton? It won’t take long for us to find out who’s the winner.”
Lysander mentioned, “My parents will start to worry if I stay out late.”
“Just a few more shots. I promise it will be very fast.”
Adrian chimed in, “We can decide who’s the winner next time. Dr. Thorne is right, it’s very late now. Let’s continue the game another day.”
Upon seeing the situation, Zachary went with the flow and put down his cue. “You’re right. Dr. Sutton, we’ll pick up our game next time we get the opportunity.”
“No problem.”
Lysander left hastily. Zachary grabbed his jacket and followed after her, cautioning, “Don’t rush as it’s getting dark. Mind your step.”
When Lynn returned, Adrian was the only one left by the pool table.
She scanned around and asked, “Dr. Sutton, where’s Dr. Thorne?”
“She’s gone home.”
“Huh? We’ve only been here for a short while.”
“I think she’s got a curfew to observe.”
Lynn chuckled, saying, “Yes, that’s right. By the way, Dr. Sutton, your girlfriend has also left. I searched everywhere for her. Initially, I was informed that Ms. Sarah had gone to the restroom. Despite checking all of them, I couldn’t locate her. It was only after asking the bartender that I discovered she had already departed. Why didn’t she inform you before leaving?”
“Perhaps there’s an emergency.”
Adrian spoke in a casual manner as he finished the game by himself, pocketing each of the balls.
Lynn sensed something was amiss but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
In the end, she gave up. “Since they have both left, how about a one–on–one between us?”
Adrian raised his brow, asking. “Just wait for a while.”
Lynn asked in confusion. “Why do we have to wait?”

“I’m waiting for someone.”
“Waiting for whom?”
At that moment, a chill swept through the room.
Annoyed, Lynn exclaimed, “Why is he here?”
Having said that, he proceeded to arrange the balls himself.
Josiah glanced at Lynn, who stood beside him, and asked, “Where’s Dr. Thorne?”

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....
