Chapter 223 I Do Not Love Him
Zachary’s car gradually came to a stop beneath Lysander’s apartment.
She pushed the car door open and uttered, “I’ll head upstairs. Be careful on the road.“”
“Hang on, Lysander.”
She turned around, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Zachary smiled as he smoothed out the creases on her clothes. “Were you at the bar today because a colleague invited you?”

“Yeah, a colleague is getting married soon and has invited some friends to the bar. Is there a problem?”
“No, it’s nothing. I just noticed that the way Dr. Sutton look at you seems very
different.”
“He did pursue me for a while,” Lysander candidly stated, thinking she might as well disclose that to him. “But there’s no possibility between us. Dr. Sutton understands this himself. He’s a person who knows his boundaries, so from now on, we’re just colleagues.”
“Well, Dr. Sutton is quite outstanding.”
“Yes, he’s an anesthesiologist. There’s currently a high demand for such talent domestically, and he’s cream of the crop in his field. He’s truly an excellent individual.”
“Why didn’t you choose him then? He’s obviously way better than me. It wouldn’t even be difficult for his family to buy an entire building, let alone buying you a house, right?”
Lysander answered frankly, “That’s because I don’t love him.”
“But you don’t love me, either.”
She fell silent.
Zachary apologized, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”
Lysander didn’t know how to respond to him.
When it came to her feelings for Zachary, she found it hard to describe them as simply “love” or “not love.”
If I had chosen Adrian, I’d still remain in that circle. I’d also inevitably have to meet Josiah and Lysanne regularly. Zachary is different. He’s just an ordinary guy like myself, and we share the same background. Being with him, I can avoid encountering people from my past altogether. Most importantly, being with him makes everyone happy–my parents, my sister, Madam Camila, and Zachary himself.

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....
