Chapter 271 I Think I Have Seen This Woman Before
Lysander said, “Michelle’s scores are good, so she should go to a science and engineering university and choose a good major.”
“A science and engineering university…”
“Mom, if you have any thoughts, you can tell me.”
Laura said, “I was thinking, Zachary is currently in a state-owned enterprise. After all, he will be Michelle’s brother-in-law, our family. I was thinking, could we let Michelle study architecture or civil engineering, so that in the future, after she graduates, Zachary can help her get into the state-owned enterprise.”
Lysander gently advised, “Mom, a state-owned enterprise might not necessarily suit Michelle’s personality.”
“What’s not suitable about it? A state-owned enterprise is much more stable than a private one. You know what Michelle is like. It’s hard to imagine her working hard and getting promoted for a raise. In a state-owned enterprise, regardless of good or bad, they always pay the salary on time. A stable job is so much better.”
“But…”
“How about this? Call Zachary and ask him to come over for dinner. Your dad and I can ask him about his work situation.”
Lysander’s eyes flickered. “He’s been very busy lately. Let’s not bother him.”
“Is his work getting busy again?”
“Yeah.”
“So… what about your wedding plans? Will it be postponed again? Oh dear, your dad and I were thinking of getting engaged after the New Year and having the wedding on Labor Day. How long is he going to be busy?”
Lysander shook her head. “I’m not sure either. Mom, Dad, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
As they were speaking, there was a knock at the door,
Michelle immediately stood up. “Is it Zachary? I’ll go open the door.”
Laura stood up happily. “Then I’ll go to the kitchen and get another set of cutlery.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Michelle’s puzzled voice sounded. “Miss, who are you looking
for?”
“I’m looking for… Dr. Thorne. I texted her this afternoon but she didn’t reply. Did I disturb you at dinner?”

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....
